Yanks, won three out Of five from
them and so did Stan Coveleskie
and Joe Shaute, Of the Indians.
Shocker and Vineyard, Of the
Browns, each won three out Of
four.
Little Mike Cvengros, of the
White Sox, was q choice morsel
for the Griffs, losing all five
starts, while Earl Whitehill, Of
the Tigers; Hollis Thurston, Of
the White Sox, and Fred Heimach,
Of the Mackmen, each dropped
four out of five to the Griffs.
The New York Yankees lost
four straight to Holloway, Of the
Tigers, and five out Of six to
his teammate, Whitehill. They
dropped three out Of four to Gray,
of the Mackmen, and four out of
five to Rommel, Comics vetersn
slowballef. They dropped four
out of six to Ernie Wingard, the
Browns young southpaw, and four
out Of six to Joe Shaute, Speakers
young forkhander.
How the Tigers Lost.
TIME Detroit Tigers had plenty
Of trouble with certain fling
ers. They dropped four Of
five to Walter johnson, four
straight to Hollis Thurston and
Dixie Davis, three straight to
Zachary, Milton CASTOR and Dave
Danforth, and three out of four
to Freddie Heimach, Of the Mack
men.
There is no explanation for the
unusual effectiveness Of pitchers
against certain clubs, save in a
most general way. For instance,
fast ball pitchers are not as eff
fective against the Yankees or
the Indians as slowbaIl pitchers,
which might explain Marberry's
failure against Cleveland. But how
explain his effectiveness against
the Yankees?
Hollis Thurston toyed with the
hard-hitting Tigers, winning all
four games against them. He
trimmed the Browns, his old
teammates; five out Of six, but
the Griffs hammered him ali sea-
son and won four out Of five
games from him.
Because tof their large number
Of righthand batsmen the Mack.
men were generally supposed to
be mankilIers when opposing
southpaws, yet Herb Pennock
won five straight from them.
Thurston pitched twenty-seven
complete games, leading the league
In that respect, with Howard
Ehmke one game behind him.
Walter johnson won thirteen
successive victories, the seasons
record, and his six shutouts led all
the others.

On Sunday, April 20, the Nezperct
base ball team took the Kamiah In
dians into camp with score Of Is tc
8, on the Kamiah grounds. 1t was the
first game of the season for both
teams.
Schlader started on the mound for
Nezperce and for three full innings
held the Indians at his mercy. He
allowed no man past End base. Harold
Cook, the High School pitcher, relieved
him at the end of the 3rd and pitched
a nice game, as did Rice who relieved
Cook in the 7th.
For Kamiah, Hill seemed to pitch
a good game, but he was touched up
for total of % hits. Gertje made
the longest hit of the day when he
clouted out home run in the 9Th.

STUDENT ABSENCE CUTS GRADE.

We, the faculty of the Nezperce
Public Schools, wish to explain to the
parents of our students that we are
not in favor of the Wholesale skipping
that has been occurring among our
various classes apparently with par
entail sanction. The skipping of a few
students spoils the whole day for the
rest and a great deal of valuable time
is lost.
There is only one sneak day that is
allowed and that is the annual Senior
sneak, others are illegal.
No excuses will be accepted for
these absences. The students win re
ceive zero for the work they miss.
We will appreciate anything the
parents can do to encourage better at
tendance.

START HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
Prairie Board Begins Mohler Road,
Grade TWO miles East and sur
vey Portion orofino Grade.

| The board of commissioners of the
Prairie Highway district, at special
meeting held at the office of the clerk
in this city last Saturday, laid out the
largest program Of highway eonstruc-
ton for the current year this district
has yet had. And it Is fair TO say
in the beginning that the work order
ed will not increase taxes a penny.
The money for the construction is In
the district treasury, or win be under
the current levy, which is the same as
for the past two years-27a mills.
The order made provides for the To-
cation, surveying, securing of right
of-way, fencing and starting copstruc-
tion of the "Mohler0 road, and the
construction of bridge across Little
Canyon creek at the foot of the hill
running north from the northwest
corner of town, and grading this hill
down to five per cent.
Roughly, the route chosen for this
highway starts at the northwest cor
ner of Nezperce, follows the the estab-
lished road north to a draw north OF
the Reese farm residence, follows this
draw northwest TO Little Canyon
creek leaving that near the Philip
Lehr farm and following draw west
to the highway district line at the
Holes creek bridge.
The order further provides for tho
grading ready for surfacing Of the
two miles of highway extending east
from that already constructed from
the northeast corner of Nezperce. This
is Known as the NezperceK Kamiah
road. And included in the order is
provision for appropriating $500 for
the survey of that portion of pro-
posed grade from 0rofino to Russell
lying in the Prairie Highway district.
The order contemplates the carrying
out of this work this year, or SO much
of it as the funds on hand viii per-
nit; and the completion of the con-
struction projects as rapidly as moro
funds are available under the regular
tax levy.

planting trees and shrubs on day
set apart for such practice has come
to be considered one of the finest
things in American life, and not only
is it made part of the school activ-
tiles, but the sentiment has borne fruit
among all classes and ages Of our peo-
pie. Plant something and help 1t
flourish.
