What Is Going On At Perth
Amboy's Recreation Centers.
Sleep

There are two kinds of sleep: the
kind that depicts an individual
asleep on the job; the other depicts
an individual asleep at mite. One is
natural, the other is unnatural; one
is o~yerdone, the other very often un-
derdone. 1t is no disgrace to be
asleep on the job, asleep at the
! switch. once; to let theat matter oc-
again is a sign that the individual
| had better wake up. Being asleep
on the job might occur in play as
| well as in work, so-called. On the
playground, in any sport, the same
Individual will not be caught
asleep twice.
Now, the other side of the picture:
, the sleep that is u~nderdone in most
cases. Activity during the day, in
which the individual is naturally and
wholesomely fatigued, is conducive
to sleep at nite,-the time when
sleep should occur. Too much of the
former kind of sleep dims the pic
ture of the latter kind Net Ct uf ef
the latter kind of sleep makes more
obvious the picture of the former. 1t
makes of life a pendulum, swinging
to one picture, then to the other. The
swing of the pendulum Is, further
more, rather irregular; it does not
stay in the picture of sleep at the
right time. On the other hand it
| does remain rather frequently in the
picture of sleep at the wrong time.
The playground, being as it is. a
picture of humming activity, wages
u~nceasing war on one kind of sleep;
it aids very materially the other kind
Of sleep. The right habit: of keep
Ing awake during the day and con-
timing sleep to nits is thus formed.
A reasonable amount of activity dur
ing later life will make the habit
manifest itself all thru life.

HOPKINS STICKMEN
DEFEAT MARYLAND

BALTIMORE. Md. May 19.-Johns
Hopkins lacrosse players proved SUI
perior to those of University of Mary
land in their game this afternoon,
winning by d to 2 count. 1t was
one Of the most bitterly contested
games ever witnessed at Homewood
Field, and was greatly enjoyed by
5000 fans. the largest crowd to turn
out for a Hopkins event since the
meeting of Maryland in foot ball last
fall.
Hopkins took an early lead in the
game. scoring twice in the first half
and once early in the second before
Maryland counted.
The ball was kept in MaryIands
zone most of the first half, and the
first tally was shot ten minutes after
play began by Murphy. Almy fol-
lowed with another goal ten minutes
before the whistle blew.
Things looked bad for Maryland at
the start of the second half when
Coady sent the ball into the net early
for the third point. However. Bran
ner soon shot a goal for Maryland,
and followed with another a few
minutes later, putting his team back
in the running. Shortly before the
final whistle Turnbull came through
with one, clinching the contest for
Hopkins.

CHESAPEAKE BEACH

Strong southwest winds and de
cidedly choppy water contributed to
some very exciting and highly re-
munerative fishing off the long pier
Probably the largest crowds of the
spring season have visited the resort
last week and generally carried home
with them good loads of fish-moSt Y
hardheadS. While the best part of
the weeks fishing has been in the
evenings-from o'clock to midnight
when the most of the hauls were
made, many fingered on until day
break. Good fishing was almost con-
tinuous the past week, barring sew
eral days toward the END of the week.
Joseph Macafse spent a day and a
night on the pier and had wonderful
luck. his catches including rock, trout,
perch and hardheads.
George Davis displayed the finest lot
of hardheads caught by one man. He
spent the night on the pier, and when
he took the train for Washington in
the morning he had about a hundred
pounds of fine ones. He carried them
in a two-bushel potato sack
Among those to fish at the beach
during the past week was Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith. as on previ-
Gus occasions. caught more fish than
her husband.
r.. III. Garren. who is regular.
visitor, tried conclusions with the
hardheads one night and landed a
dozen fine ones in little more than
an hour.

mix golf in with his training, too.
Mike f. Collins of ST Paul, one of
the promoters of the Shelby bout. is
here and says that orders for seat res
ervations now total $4,000. Most of
these are from the west, about one-third
of them being from Montana, the re-
mainder from Texas. Oklahoma, Utah,
Minnesota, Washington and California.
Great Northern railway. officials have
announced that special trains have been
arranged to accommodate fight fans
from Galveston. Texas; Los Angeles

10th. The former he plans to have re.
registered as Jack Dempsey" Both

partners. | expect to enter the ring

would make a drawing card equal

VIII Get Down to Work.
Monday morning Jack gets down to
real training. From Tuesday. when
he arrived here, until Friday night,
when Manager KearRs reached here
from the east. the titleholder played
hooky" from work and submitted to
the strenuous lionizing rendered him
by Great Falls citizens. The largest
crowd that ever assembled at rail-
way station in this city-whiCh means
more than 5000 persons-welcomed
the champion. and this in spite of the
fact that time of his arrival was
known only two hours in advance.
From that moment on he has been be-
sieged with invitations to this and
to that. And. good-naturedly. he has
gone the limit withs being in the
hands of his friends" But now Kearns
has put a stop to all that.
Dempseys indoor training will be
done in "A dance pavilion a few feet
away from his sleeping quarters. A
ring and spectators gallery is under
construction on the property, and
when completed this week will be
used for his outdoor sparring.
The champion intends to train as
much in the sun as possible. With
him now are George Godfrey. colored

heavyweight; Harry Drake. English
light heavyweight, who worked with
Jess Willard when the latter was
training for his Floyd Johnson fight;
Joe Benjamin. California lightweight.

wake. 1t is now hoped that the perch
will again take their place.

Anglers who have been visiting salt
water fishing grounds have been
more or less successful. depending
upon the direction of thu wind and
the tide. Big catches have been
MADE at Annapolis, Chesapeake Beach
and Benedict.
A party of Washington anglers who
visited Benedict last Sunday were
very much surprised to learn that
some of the boatmen at this place
have set a new price upon their serv-
ices. At least this was so in one
particular. when 50 head was
charged for about three or four hours
on the river. Last year the Rod and
Stream editor tried to get a uniform
price at all salt water fishing places
and was assured that $50 would be
the rate. A protest by one member
of the. party ELECTED the reply,
$3.50 is the rate charged on week
days. but on Sundays the rate is So"
Needless to say this party will not
fish at Benedict again in the near fu-
ture, not until a uniform price has
again been established All anglers
are asked to inquire the price per
person before engaging boats. j

Both ST. Louis and Pittsburgh
failed to play as well in 1928 as
they played in 1922, yet, in spite of
the bad start of the st. Louis team,
its players had drawn up in the race
by sheer strength at bat, until mid
May found st. Louis second in the
night. st. Louis was second last sea-
son at the same time.
Cardinals Spring Surprise.
The tact of Importance in the
rating of st. Louis is that the team
this year never was given considera-
tion as much better than a second
division leader. 1t has fought it's way
to runner-up.
May showed Boston a better team
than last May and Philadelphia a
worse team. The fitful boosts of
good luck that were given to Fletch-
er. when he assumed the task of man.
againg the Phillies might have made
him first division factor in other
circumstances, but his team never
can make IT for him. The players
showed their impotency in training,
yet for what ability they have they
are doing as much as could be ex-
pected.

than last season in percentage, but

Browns and Red Sox Slip.
In the American League in mlG-
May, 1928, every team was playing
better ball than-in mid-May, 1922, ex-
cept St. Louis and Boston. The Yanks
were better by "a points and they
earned some of them in the west
where it was hoped they would he
eaten alive in a base ball way.
The Yanks missed that stern and
unrelenting battle of the season
