AN Here is a letter from q
reader who tells about a
backwoods school which he
entered 30 years ago:
Dear Uncle Ray: started to the
little country school in 1852, and while
in the school had "a different teachers.
I can name them all from memory.
About the first half of them were called
masters They ruled with an iron
hand.
The only decorations in the school
room were the paper wads sticking to
the ceiling, the beech rods standing in
the corner, and the scowl on the mas
ter's face. The master had to be a
mechanic as well as a teacher. The
scholars would bring the goose quills
and the master would make the writing
pens.

BORTN|CK BOLD
MAT REFEREE

Bunny Bortnick, Washington's
bole referee, may soon go into
training at the Jewish Com
munity Center and become an
active wrestler.
At any rate, Bortnick has more
than once indicated he won't
tolerate any abuse from the COM
batants and re-emphasized this
fact last night at the Clark Grif-
fifth stadium to the amazement
of over 5000 persons who had
gathered for the Jim Mcmillan
Gino Garibaldi spectacle.
Garibaldi was declared the
victor after 80 minutes of heated
graphing, Bortnick seeing fit to
disqualify Mcmillan, but the fans
are today scratching their heads
to discover a reason, unless it
might have been for striking Bort
nick himself.
Both opponents heaved and
butted each other out of the ring
at least a dozen times, and, on oc.
casion, went outside the ropes to
mix freely. The climax occurred
when T-cMillan pushed the Italian
through the ropes, the latter
stunning himself in the fall. NC
MILAN strove hard to get to the
prostr.te mailman, but was held
back by Bortnick. Mcmillan would
push the referee aside only to
have his arms pinned back. Then
Mcmillan and Bortnick traded
blows, and, in the meantime,
Garibaldi had re-entered the ring.
Next, Bortnick rushed over to
Garibaldi and raised his hand.

Ed Edelin, hurled after johnson
retired and was charged with the
loss because the Buckeyes
counted three times off his de-

frame the Griffs saw their 7-to-6
lead melt away and it was really
too bad in view of Edelin's better

other innings.

nant fight at all. But here they
are in the early part of August
giving the other contenders a lot
of worry. and showing the way
to three or four teams which were
rated much stronger than the
PhilS.
Few Changes Made
Few changes we're made during
the off season. George Davis was
purchased from the st. Paul club
and Buzz Arlett was released, but
otherwise Manager Shotton stuck
to the players who were regulars
when the 1881 season ended.
Davis has batted well and has
added a lot to the outfield de.
fen$e, and Harold Lee has played
grand ball since winning his place
as a regular. This new outfield
combination of Klein, Davis and
Lee is one answer for the PhilS'
success this year.
RheIh Also Going Strong
Rhem'S fine pitching is another,
and the strong play Of Mallon and
Bartell around second base also
has meant a lot. Meanwhile
Hurst has been leading the league
in hitting and Klein has been
first in homers, first in stolen
bases and second in hitting. Davis
behind the bat and Whitney at
third have been playing a steady
game and hitting hard.
It is a generally improved bali
club, much better than anybody
had figured it would be, and yet
no flash team. It is likely to i'm.
prove still more. It wins the
honorS as the most improved team
in the major leagues this season.
