THE MERCHANTS close out

charge of the reservations, and

since present holders of seats
have been advised to get their
orders in first.
DONATIONS ARE being made
in special container at Ralston' S

band for the Cleveland trip, Sept.
IL. No solicitations are being
made, the idea simply started at
the drug store with all contribu-
tions purely voluntary. Approx
mately 5000 will be needed with
about $50 collected to date.
1T is REPORTED that an ath-
letic control board has been or
ganized at Caldwell to pass on

NEW UNIFORMS have been pur-
chased for CaldWell's Redskins at
a cost of $3.50 and have already
been displayed in downtown
stores. Since the Booster club car
nival was practically rained out,
a white elephant sale is being
sponsored to help finance the
uniforms. The sale will be held
on the athletic field on WedneS-
das pit. 7, at 7:30 p. M, with
the 9otball teams presenting an
intra-squad game. The band will
also present their routine for
the Cleveland show at this time.
So far, an announcer has not yet
been secured for Caldwell's home
games to replace John Hazard,
who has held down this job in
past years.
CALDWELL'S TRUMPET section
was pictured in the program at
the Browns game in Toledo,
along with George Red Bird and
baton-twirler Victor Faber. The
accompanying article stated:
'"rhe 36-piece Caldwell high
school marching band directed by
Marvin Wood is rated one of the
finest in the land. The state
championship aggregation has
won wide acclaim and was the
hit of all bands who appeared in
Cleveland's municipal stadium
last year"
THE TOLEDO TIMES following
the game stated: When the Hor-
nets and Browns left the field at
halftime, the famed little Cald-
well high school band brought
here especially from Caldwell
for the game, took over. 1t took
the little music-makers only mo-
ments to take the crowd by
storm. Famed for their perform
anceS with the Browns in Cleve-
lands municipal stadium, the
visitors put on a swing and
marching show to top anything of
the sort ever seen here. And be-
fore they were finished they ac-
companied Victor Faber in the
national baton twirling cham
pion'S knockout act which also
had the fans on the edges of
their seats"
STAN MAZGAY, who was called
up suddenly to join the Glovers-
vile, N. Y. team in the Canadian
American league, connected for
six hits in his first Is times at
bat. Included in the hits were
two triples. STAINS old friend,
Jimmy Cullinane, is manager of
the team.
