The state eighth grade examina-
fion for Meigsville township was
held last Saturday at Unionville
and McCarty's, seven students TAX
ing the test at Unionville, with Carl
Moore, supervisor, and nine stu
dents taking the test at McCarty,
supervised by Paul Lyon.--The all
senior examination by 16 students
of the M. & NJ high school at Nc
Connelsville, reveals the fact that
six of that number were from Meigs-
vile township THE present work
of the writer enables us to visit
practically all homes in this section
of the county, and it gives us great
pleasure to find so many well and
happy, after surviving the long Sc
we're winter. We also visited some
homes last week where sickness
and misfortune had preceded our
visit. At the Homer Garrett home
we found Mrs. Garrett sadly afflict-
ed with tumor on her neck. While
she suffers much from the affliction,
she remains hopeful for the future.
AT the B. F. Wells home we found
ben" sitting in an easy chair with
his left leg in a cast. While Ben
was cheerful to a vast degree, he
told us the doctor said it would
take from four to six weeks before
we would see him out and going
about his farm work as he had done
before his injury. 1t will be re-
membered that the injury was caus-
ed by his being kicked by a horse,
recently. At the Walter Burdine
home in Center township, we found
Walter confined to his room from

found Mr.. Ferguson in poor health,
suffering from something in the ma

BoZman home in McConnelsville, we
found Harry confined to his room
with sciatic rheumatism, otherwise
he was cheerful and anxious to dis
cuss current events. At the Boyd
Conn farm at Hackney, we found
Boyd busy with his farm work and
anxious to discuss the policies of
the New Deal. At the Charles
Stokes farm, near Centerbend, on
route II, we found Charley busy
caring for his live stock. He took
us to his fine new brooder house,
where he had something like 1000

Travis There in Pinch.

T EFTY GOMEZ whipped across the
- first pitch and Reynolds hunted
foul in his attempt at gingerness.
Red Rolfe had moved in to within
only few yards of the plate to get
it. He stayed there as Reynolds
glanced at Harris, caught a new sign
and stepped back into the batter's box.
Another try at a sacrifice was. Of
course, the logical move.
Instead Reynolds lashed out with q
full swing and the ball game was
over, ended by whistling double that
found the Yanks rocking on their
heels from the shock of such dis
regard for playing it safe.
It was a perfect ending. for
Washington. But suppose Rey-
nolds had hit to Crosetti or Lag
zeri and into q double play?
Harris thought Of that when he
changed the sign. But he called for
Reynolds to swing anyway.
And how about Cecil Travis for ex-
hibit G? In the third inning he made
a sandlot error on an easy roller by
Lefty Gomez to put the first Yank on
base. The crowd had groaned with
a roar that must have sounded, to
the kid debutting as a shortstop, like
Niagara Falls. In the fifth inning he
booted another easy roller, hit by Bill
Dickey to open the inning. It was
this error that prompted Chapman to

recovery, got Lazzeri on a sacri-
fee that advanced Dickey and Chap
man to third and second bases. Then
he whitfield frankie CroSetti. Gomez
was up again, and this time he shot
a really difficult grounder to Short
stop, and Travis, without batting an
eye. made a play that stood out. In an
artistic, If not snowy. fashion. It
takes nerve to do it,.
This could 90 on. Death stared Ed
Linke full in the face last Summer
when Jesse Hill, then with the Yanks,
drew a bead on the young hurler's
temple with a terrific line drive and
put him in the hospital.
When Linke was released he
proceeded to win eight games
in q row, and the streak was
still intact when he faced the
Yanks again today.
There also was a little matter of
courage when Capt. Budy Myer stood
up at the plate in Philadelphia last
September in the final game Of the
American League season. He had to
get hit, real, honest-to-goodness
hit, In his last trip at bat. The stake
was the American League batting
championship. and Buddy knew hit
would give him the crown by a frac-
tion of point. So he doubled.
This could 60 on all right.

Back in 1917, assisting in the

Roosevelt witnessed a Washington
victory. The President was AS

In 1888, making his debut as the
presidential first-ball pitcher,
Roosevelt again saw the Nationals
win. He also chose to attend the
only game of the 1888 world series
won by Washington from the New
York Giants.
In 1894 Roosevelt had to leave

n YEW YORK, April 15.-Just to
nj make them respect their
" elders, members of the new
freshman class in the majors
we're padded roundly in yesterdays
opening base ball games.
The young upStarts continued to get
five hits in 81 trips at bat, and .l37
doesn't constitute a new all-time major
league record for deadly hitting.
There we're 10 newcomers in the
starting line-ups, all with very i'm
pressive scrapbooks, but only one, Jim
Darn Oglesby, the Athletics new first
baseman, made anything like signifi-
cant start. He got two hits in four
times at bat against the Red SoX'S star
pitcher, Wes Ferrell.
The other outstanding feat was
performed by 21-year-old youngster
whom frankie FriSch, in desperation,
showed in to pinch hit He was Edwin
Willis Morgan, former Miami Uni-
versity athlete, and he did just about
as we'll as a man can do in one trip to
the plate He hit Lon Warneke's first
pitch for home run and drove in two
runs.
CoOney Gets Bingle.
Johnny COONEY, Brooklyn's vet-
eran rookie" who was last years
outstanding hitter in the American
Association, also managed to get hit,
With Oglesby and Cooney, the other
youngsters who we're gra duated to reg
ular positions in the majors yesterday
were Mike Kreevich, former Kansas
City star, who got one hit in five times
at bat for the White Sox; George Puc.
cinelh, last years International League
batting champion with Baltimore, who
went hitless playing right field for the
AS against the Red Sox; Buddy Has

four against the Dodgers; George Nc

of the Phillies, Oscar Eckhardt and

Hayes of the Athletics. McQuinn, up

in the eighth.
Frisch, willing to try anything near
the end of the Cubs game, sent in a
couple of new pitchers, Mike Ryba,
formerly of Columbus, and Bill MCGEE,
who pitched for Houston last year.
MCGEE gave three hits in one inning,
but Ryba held the Cubs without q hit
in his inning.

Ninth in a Row
Target for Linke

AN eight-game winning streak
by Pitcher Eddie Linke was to
be placed on the block today at
Griffith Stadium as the Nationals
we're to oppose the Yankees in the
second of their three-game series
here.
The young right-hander, whose
use of heating pads to keep the
finger of his dead" pitching arm
still is a topic of argument in the
American League, was to oppose
Red Ruff1ng or Johnny Broaca on
the slab.
Linke wound up the 1885 season
by winning his last eight games in
a row.
Tomorrow, when the Yanks and
Griffs meet in the last local game
until April Is, when the Athletics
invade following an Eastern trip
by the Washington club, Jimmy
De Shong will be given his first
chance as a starting pitcher for the
Nationals. De Shong is former
Yankee who was procured in
Winter trade, along with Jesse Hill,
for Roy johnson and Bump Hadley.

ARGENTINAT TO SEND
POLO TEAM TO U. S.
Squad Destined for 0lympics Is
Invading to Play for Cup
of the Americas.

RUENOS AIRES, April 15.-An Ar
gentine polo team will visit the
United States this year to play for the
Cup Of the Americas, the Argentine
Polo Association has announced.
The squad will play in the United
States and then proceed to Germany,
where it is scheduled to participate in
the Olympic games.
The team is composed of Andres
Gazzoti, Manuel Andrada, Henry Al
berdi, Robert and James Cavanagh,
Jack Nelson and Luis Duggan.
Twenty fresh ponies are to be sent
to the United States in June, includ-
ing the champion, Pampero.
The Argentine Republic was among
the first to accept the invitation TO
compete in the Olympic polo matches
and has already sent a string of Sc
ponies overseas.
1t was in 1882 that the Cup of the
Americas series was first played, with
the trophy being presented by Presi-
dent Augustin Justo. The United
States invaded the Argentine, winning
the award with two victories out of
three matches.
The last time an Argentine team
competed here was in 1881, when the
Santa Paula outfit won the national
