Did Not Play Mt School.
Oddly, McNeely did not go in for
athletics while attending high
school in Sacramento. He declares
his studies kept him so occupied
that he found little time for outside
diversion, and anyhow, he was of
too slight stature then to be of any
use: to a coach who had a squad
OF huskies to select teams from.
But Earl jumped out of high
ing in the 23d Engineers. While in
the service he added considerably to
his stature and strength and began
to take a. great deal of interest in
base ball. He. played with company
and regimental teams and soon was
recognized as a sturdy diamond
athlete.
During his training in this coun-
try, Earl was stationed at Camp

Juaf why the Bucks were able to
take only four of the first 13 games
played on the present Western trim
is revealed by the batting averages
or sam Rice, Joe Judge, Memo Leibold
ana Goose Goslin for the "unlucky''
number of tits. These athletes were
socking the ball for big figures be-
.o .ore emoarKlng upon the journey. In
the series with the Indians, Tigers
and Browns, however. Rice was the
only one to continue cIoutinR at a
sood rate Sam has missed his hit
IN but one contest-the second at De-
troit, In which he batted against Rip
poled 10 safeties for trip average,
exclusive of action here, of .352
ihe others who had been keeping
the Bucks well up in the pennant
race almost lost their batting eyes
entirely in the three series. Goslin,
for some time in the big Ave" of
the American League batsmen, pound
ed the ball for miserable .213
against the Indian, Tiger and Brown
hurlers. He got, hits in the IS
only 1855, while Leibold was carried
far down, the hitting list when he
lapsed into a .220 stride. The failure
OF these three generally good hitters
to drive the ball safely certainly
played havoc with the Bucks winning
percentage.
Wild Matthews now Is wondering
what it takes to make a big leaguer
He jumped into the American circuit
for the second time in his base ball
career in June, Immediately put
enough pepper into the Bucks play
to push them into first place, and was
thought good enough to be given
substantial salary increase by the
club owners without asking for 1t.
After becoming a bench warmer when
he slumped Matthews proved the only
capable pinch bitter among the
Bucks reserves. His latest batting
figures are .297 and while in action

Minor Notes From
 Flat and IditarOd

Charlie Lovett we'll known A. k. c. man, arrived here Thursday from Flat, reporting one of the wettest, windiest and most disagreeable trips over that he has ever had.
 Mr. Lo1ett reports that the recent rains have given an impetus to mining activities in the Flat section and that all outfits are busy.
 No criminal cases are being tried at the present term of court. no grand or petit jury having been called.
 Mrs. Shangy was granted a divorce from her husband, Joe Shangy, few days ago. Both parties are we'll known in the Lower huskokwim.
 George Adams, who went Outside last fall, was among those who recent ly returned to Iditarod
 Mrs. Rothacher, with her five cbil- dren, will leave in few days for Nome, where MT. Rothacher is now stationed.
 Manuel Gularte, after trip to sew eral Yukon points, returned to Flat 8 few days ago.

first stages of the operation were suc- cessful.
 A tubercular condition of both bone and flesh of the heel developed follow ing the accident, and doctors who had examined Hamiltoa told him he would be crippled permanently.
 Dr. ReinhotT, however, suggested re- storing the heels by plastic adhe6ion.
 The operation provides first for the removal of tte tubereular part of the heel. Then the calf of Hamilton's other leg is bisected to the bone it's en- tire length ane the tore-shortened heel inserted in this wound.
 Hamilton will be compelled to re- main in one position from three weeks to month, during which. if the opera tion continues successful, the flesh of the heel and the flesh of the other leg will grow together, giving Hamilton 8 new heel from the flesh of his leg.
 When the adhesion process is com plete, another operation, separating the heel from the leg, will be per formed. and Hamilton will have only the scar in the back of his leg to show for his injury, Dr. Reinhoff declares.

BOY SCOUT EXHIBIT

An interesting exhibit was given by
the various troops of Boy Scouts last
Saturday in the court house park,
which demonstrated the advantages
of membership in the rapidly growing
organization.
Nine different Troops were repre-
sented, and the displays were many
and varied, and gave evidence of hard
and skillful work. Among the attrac-
tions were two signal towers, bark
lean-to, a stone oven, collections OF
insects and butterflies, arrow heads
and flint implements, and examples
of conveying messages by means OF
differently placed twigs and stones.
Demonstrations of starting fire by
friction and rendering first aid at
tracted much attention.
During the afternoon a message
was wig-wagged from the top of the
Trust building to Veach's hill, a mile
or more south of town.
The standing of the Troops in the
contest was as follows: Troop 7
first; Troop 5-second; Troop e.
third; Troop 8-fourth; Troop 1, He
bron-fifth; Troop 1, Granville =
sixth; Troop 4-seventh; Troop g.
eighth; Troop 3-ninth; and the prize,
an American flag, was presented to
Troop No. 7, in the evening, just be-
fore retreat" by Rev. G. B. Schmitt.
The Boy Scout movement is Won
derful institution, and has proved of
incalculable benefit to thousands of
the boys all over the country. 1t fos-
ters and encourages habits Of honesty,
obedience, courtesy and true manli-
ness. It's clean, honest sports, out
door life and training are productive
of health and strength, self-relience
and the ability to aid others when
occasion requires. 1t is without doubt
a great help to the growing boy in
every way.
Love live the Boy Scouts!

MRS. HOWARD AGAIN CHOSEN

Mrs. F. M. Howard, of Newark, was
reelected Grand President of the
Ladies' Auxiliary to the Baltimore &
Ohio Veterans Association at the Bal
timore convention, which closed last
Saturday.
Mrs. Howard was presented with a
beautiful brass gavel at the closing
session, and many gifts of flowers
were also received.
During the past year, under Mrs.
Howard's able and efficient manage
ment, this organization has grown by
leaps mad bounds and many new
lodges has been organized all over the
system.
The Newark Auxiliary was well
represented at the Baltimore conven-
ton, and all were enthusiastic boost
ers for Mrs. Howard, whose ability as
a leader is recognized and appre-
ciated in her home town.

LABOR'S OWN PHOTOPLAY

The people of Newark will be
interested in knowing that "The
Contrast" will be shown at the
Auditorium, June 2, 3, 4. This is
a wonderful 6-reel film featuring
Dorothy Bernard with an all star
cast and is brought to Newark un-
der the auspices of the Newark
Trades and Labor Assembly. This
is labor film-financed by labor
and is dramatic portrayal of the
contrast of wealth and poverty,
idleness and industry, extrava-
gance and frugality, hate and love.
See the factory riots, the gar
ment workers, the black list in
operation, the mine disaster, the
Mingo Tent colonies, the strike and
the victory. The contrast of lux
ury and poverty.
This is truly a remarkable pic
ture and everybody should be sure
to see it. Buster Keaton's latest
comedy and a weekly news picture
will also be shown in connection
with "The Contrast" and tickets
for this super show can now be OBJ
tanned from the members of the
local unions.

TAYLOR WAS DEAD WRONG

Fridays Tribune quoted Director
of Public Service Taylor as saying
that very morning:
"The pumps at the municipal water
plant are in good shape now and cap
able of carrying the load that is re-
quired of them in pumping water for
the city's needs"
About twenty-four hours later
things began to happen, and in a
few minutes one of the cracked
up pumps was heap of junk.
1t now begins to look as if Taylor
Kussmaul, the deposed Superintend-
ent, knew what he was talking about
when he told the city council that the
machinery at the pumping station
was in a precarious condition and i'm
mediate measures should be taken to
install a new pump.
No one doubts the knowledge and
ability of his successor, and no eff
forts are being made to place the
blame of the regretable catastrophy
upon his shoulders.

to become one of us and permit the

commissioners at recent meeting.
The commissioners evidently be-
lieve they have the ability to paddle
their own canoe, and police and pro-
tect their own property without out
side unsolicited assistance, as was
clearly demonstrated by their unan-
imous rejection of the invitation to
get inside the corporation fence.
Many other people share their
views, and a protest signed by about
two thousand residents of the city
and county was presented to the COM
missioners, and when the decision was
announced the big audience present
signified it's approval by hearty ap-
plause.
