The league-leading Philadel-
phia Athletics and Brooklyn Robins
were bowling along today at a
pace that BODIED no good for the
clubs that are doing the chasing

When a club that already is
leading the pack by six and one
half games hands It's nearest
pursuer and artistic beating to
stretch its advantage to seven and
a half, the superstition IS that the
team in front is going TO prove
pretty hard to overhaul.

while Courtney was charged I'D with
two miscues In rightfield, due in
part to an injury to his ankle.
Snow, left handed knuckle ball

well scattered and he was given good
support. Schiller in centerfield
turned in several sensational catch
es. In the third inning he took a
long drive off Rubber Campbell's
bat which seemed destined for three
sacks. After a long backward sprint,
Schiller grabbed the drive with a
stabbing jump up against the GEN.

park and the drive would have been
q homerun. He was given a hearty
hand by the stand when he came in.
Both Score
Both clubs scored III the initial
frame and then things rocked along
until the seventh before the Pion-
GERS opened up their scoring barrage.
After an erratic start, due perhaps
10 the fact that he was pitching for
the corners, Garrett settled down
and had easy sailing up to the
seventh. Singles By Deveraux.
Schiller and Hoffman, coupled with
five errors. a balk and four stolen
bases punched across four runs for
the Trainmen. Darby went in the
next inning and whitfield two and
got the third man with an easy fly

The Saints made their second tally
In the eighth when Campbell got

RECOMMENDATIONS SUBMITTED n TIE
 COUNCIL. BOARD
NINE SUGGESTIONS RENDERED FOR THE RETIREMENT OF
 THE SEWARD SCHOOLS

The following is the list of re- commentators for the Seward school system recently submitted by the school board to the city council:
 To
 The Honorable Mayor;
 The Town Council;
 Seward, Alaska.
 Gentlemen;
 At a regular meeting of the Sew ard School Board, the following recommendations were passe d, which, in our opinion, would rem der The William HI Seward School more economical and easier to op- crate during the coming school year
 {, No1-That storm windows be installed on all windows, during the extreme cold weather Or, that all windows be puttied except one in each room. That would per- init one window in each room to fopen for ventilation, if it is nec- Iessary The remaining windows that are hinged, to be puttied up tight Storm windows would be better, from a standpoint of keep ing out the cold winds. No. 2-A sewer drain to be in stalled in the main room of the basement. That would permit the janitor to wash the floor down once or twice each day, keeping it free from dust and dirt. i No, 3-All doors to De refitted, So that same will close and lock properly
 ! No. 4 Storm doors to be install led on the north and south exits from the main hall, and single door on west side
 No. 5-Some provision for dis posal of ashes. That is the ground outside the furnace room door should be leveled off so that jam itor can dump ashes without hav- ing same blowing back into the Y furnace room. We recommend storm shed over the ianitor's stair way.
 No. 6-All hall ways be covered with a good grade of linoleum, this will eliminate heavy wear Oh the floor, and keep the sound from dis turbing the other rooms. Also, with linoleum covering the hall floors same can be cleaned more ; readily
 No. 7-School yard and grounds be cleaned up and leveled up, So that the pupils will have ample room to play, eliminating the use of the street for that purpose. If this work is not done, we are afraid some serious accident will befall one or more of the pupils.
 No. 8-We recommend to you, that the furnace Or heating plant be fitted up with either an Auto matic Iron Fireman Or an Oil Burner, this would eliminate the services of an extra night fireman during the winter, which we have allowed an extra amount of seven hundred and fifty (750OO) dollars in our next years budget, to cover that expense. We believe that with the installation of either a Coal stoker or oil burner, the cost of fuel alone would return the money in two years time
 i No9-In connection with the heating plant, we recommend that 1 this system be changed to a 2way system, this would assure the rooms of faster and more steady heat, land the cost would be much less.
 We believe that you would affect
