INLAY in the 1880 public high
school base ball championship
series will open April 30, with
the final of the 10 games to be
staged May 80, according to the
schedule which has been announced by
Rupert Sharitz, secretary of the board
of faculty advisers of the senior public
Tech, which finished second to East
ern last Spring, will engage Western in
the opening encounter of the series
April 90. Eastern will meet Tech IN
the third game May 6. Tech and Gen.
trail, old foes, will not clash until
May 81.
Last season the series was played in
the Eastern Stadium instead OF at Cen
trail, it being felt that the Lincoln
Park school field was more desirable
than the Central diamond which has
a short right field.
However, there is understood to be
a good chance of the series coming
back to Central next Spring, as there
was considerable dissatisfaction ex-
pressed with the left-feld situation at
Eastern. The proximity Of the run
ming track and stands in left field neces-
STATED ground rules which caused not
little confusion.

to intercept and ascertain theti

The Arab force. according 20 word

high school students. including II
Americans. was near the Syrian
frontier on an outing. and an appeal
was made to the American consul
for protection for them In view OF
the Arab advance.
Arabs Gathering
The position of isolated Jewish
colonies in the Jordan Valley
greatly alarmed authorities. The sit

particularly dangerous, and energet-
ic measures were taken for its de-

for II as at Safed. There were only
four British soldiers there.
The Jordan Valley Arabs were
greatly excited over reports that
several Of their fellow tribesmen hsd
been killed by the Jews In the neigh
boring colony Of Kinereth. They
were said to be gathering at Semakh
from all surrounding villages.
Reports reaching here from Safed
indicated that city. which lies TO the
north Of the eSa Of Galilee. had suf-
fered greatly at the hands Of the
Arabs. Nine Jews were killed. q
wounded. and the CITY looted and al

road guide, but really the trouble may
be in the road itself.
Usually when trip is made over a
paved road, with tires properly in
flated, the speedometer viii record the
correct mileage. The same thing viii
happen on a dirt or gravel road when
it is hard and smooth But if the
road is rough and bumpy, or if there
happens to be two or three inches Of
loose gravel or mud, the slippage Of
the rear wheels may cause the speed
ometer to record six or eight extra
miles on a hundred mile stretch Of
road.
If the speedometer records fewer
miles than are shown in the road
guide, there is usually only one ex-

since the mileage table was corrected.
Very often by relocating the road the
distance may be shortened 10 or Is per
cent and in some cases as much as 30
or 40 per cent.
Differentiation of tires viii cause the
speedometer to record some extra
miles. Oversize or undersize tires VIII
also affect the record But if the
speedometer records many more miles
than the correct mileage of any high
way, it is usually evidence that the
road carries more traffic than it should
carry, so that the traffic has cut up the
road surface material II many extra
miles are recorded, it is sure sign
that the road needs paving or other
improvements.
