POLICE CAPT.
OPENS HIGH
SERIES
BY SID KATZNELL


Capt. Dick Mansfield, command
ing officer Of the Ninth precinct,
stole the show yesterday at the
inauguration of the 1884 inter
high baseball series in Eastern's
Stadium.
He accepted John Paul Collins
invitation to toss out the first ball
to start hostilities between East
ern and Western.
The smiling captain majesti-
cally strolled to the pitchers box
and wound up like a big league
mound artist and hurled a perfect
strike into the waiting catcher's
mitt Of "Huck" Wynn, star back
stopper Of Western. Mansfield re-
ceived a tremendous ovation from
the gallery of 900 students.
Oh yes! Eastern won the ole
ball game, 8 to 4, thereby giving
it undisputed possession Of first
place.
Both Hurlers Last
Joe Sullivan, speed ball south
paw, pitched the entire game for
the victor while Red Mullock
who is also portsider, did like
wise for Western. However, the
former had the slight advant-
age of the argument, allowing
only seven bingles and was
stronger in the pinches. Mullock
permitted eight hits but was in
clined to be wild, issuing eight
free tickets.
Two splendid catches by Joe
Keegin and Harry Basin aided
Eastern's cause no little. Keegin
bent way over the railing which
separates the track from the
stands and made a great stab
of foul pop. 1t was magnifi-
cent catch. Bassin raced to his
extreme right and pulled down
Bill Woods terrific drive in the
third. It looked like a sure
triple.
Eastern scored two markers in
the first. Joe Mills strolled. Joe
Keegin also walked. The pair
successfully worked double steal.
In Front Of Plate
. Basin hit in front Of the plate
and Huck Wynn, Westerns back"
stopper, threw to first, mailing
Basin, in the meanwhile Mills
dashed for home as First Base
man Brennan became excited and
threw way over Wynn's head, per.
mitting Keegin to score, too.
Western grabbed the lead in
third by counting three runs on
singles by Bounford and Wynn
and errors by Eastern's infield.
Cliff Moore's boys tailed one
more in the very next frame, but
were unable to do anything else
with Sullivan's shoots thereafter.
Eastern's Indians scored run in
the fifth, two in the sixth, two in
the seventh and one in the
ninth.

until last June she graduated

And then, miraculously, her
sight came back by slow stages,
and yesterday she saw that ball

is nothing in the world so great
as faith.

that Miss Muster would be at

Made Four Hits
He made four hits in four
official trips to the plate and
he handled nine chances around
second base in a fashion that
would have turned Frisch, Col
Inns and Hornsby, in their
primes, green with envy.
Wottaman Ryan! How he can
turn it on when there is some
incentive for it! And certainly
no ball player could have had
a finer incentive than this
sweet girl of nineteen, who sat
there and positively beamed and
applauded wildly at every play,

Pointer Record
IS Brief
By LIZ HUME

More about the history of
the pointer-one of our best
gun dogs.
There are no accurate rec
ords of the pointers brought
to this country previous to
1870. At that time the maya
zine Forest and Stream" was
founded, and it soon attained
a wide circulation among
sportsmen and fanciers-who
began recording in its col
umns the descriptions and
pedigrees of various celebrated
dogs as we'll as the pedigrees,
records and appearance of the
pointers that we're brought to
this country from abroad.
The first of these of i'm
portance was "Sensation," i'm
ported by the Westminster
Kennel Club. This dog was
widely heralded, but he never
rose above mediocrity either
as a sire or in the field.
Bang, Bang" a smaller dog
of the celebrated Price e
strain, brought over at the
same time, was in every way
his superior, and one of his
sons, "Consolation," was pro-
nounced the handsomest speci-
men of his day.
A few years later the club
imported "Naso of Kipen," a dog
of pronounced character who
had great influence upon his
breed. There also was a noted
field dog in st. Louis by the
name Of "Sleaford," and later a
dog named Bow" a son of
Prices Bang" which was his
equal in the field and his SUI
perior on the bench.

Care Of SCa|p

Always I have maintained

No hair can survive daily hot
and cold shocks under a shower,
or combat the evils of some Of
the preparations men slather on
to keep their hair in place, in.

their natural scalp oils to give
the hair a gloss and body.

If men would only realize
how vastly important it is for
them to protect and help the
hair in its growth, we would
have fewer bald heads-and a
happier male species! For,
getting right down to facts, no
man or woman admires bald

Second Helping

Second Helping
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
In sending ones plate for a
second helping, what do you do
with your knife and fork? U.
A very definite thing-when
we pass our plate for Sec
ond helping, the knife and fork
are left on the plate, placed as
securely as possible that they
will not be pushed from the
plate as it is being passed.
This means that the knife and
fork are placed together, in
the center. of the plate, the
knife on the right and the
fork on the left, as they would
be at the place, parallel to
each other, and the handles
turned a bit to the right.
If we take them from the
plate there is nothing to do
with them. We can't hold
them in the hand, for this
looks very awkward, and we
can't, of course, place them
on the tablecloth, for this
would soil the cloth.
