RAFTING AVERAGES

MVL NEWS-Of main interest to
the Muskingum Valley league
was a recent ruling of the state
athletic department requiring
that all coaches must have at
least minor in physical educa-
ton. This ruling will mean here
in Caldwell that Marvin P. Wood
the basketball coach, must relin-
quish his duties after building
several notable floor combines.
1t is expected that football coach
Homer L. Pyle will assume this
position along with his gridiron
coaching Philo band went

A NUMBER of fishing law viola
tlons involving taking fish by
''snagging' have been reported to
the division of conservation by
game protectors. During spawp-
ing season when fish can often
be seen near the banks of streams
and lakes guarding their nests
it is temptation to some fisher
men to catch them one way or
another. State law provides that
fish may be taken only by ang-
ling in most cases.
1T is ILLEGAL to catch fish by
grabbing with the hands, snag,
ging, spearing, shooting, or with
any other device other than ang,
ling which simply means by hool
and line under the immediate
control of the fisherman excep
in case of the legal use of thu
trot line. ~
A COMMON VIOLATION in

like sure hits, all at critical
moments.
For Caldwell, Frank Boyd
started on the mound and was
tagged for five runs on five hits
before leaving the game in the
second inning. Mike Smoky
ChicWak came in to retire the
side but was forced to the side
lines in the next frame with a
sore arm after one run was in,
two on and none out. Bud Tilton
was called into the game and
would have set the side down
without further trouble except
for an error on the third out that
allowed three additional un-
earned runs.
Hoyt Carpenter, who was tag
ged with the IS defeat by the
Merchants the previous week,
went all the way for the Quak-
ers. With the exception of two
innings, the second and ninth,
when Caldwell scored all their
runs, Carpenter was never in
trouble allowing only two other
hits, triple by Lobby Mazgay
in the first and double by Stan
MaZgay in the seventh.
Quaker City drew first blood
with one run in the first and
four in the second to take a so
lead. The Merchants sent IL men
to the plate in their half Of the
second when they scored seven
markers to go ahead rs. The
Quakers came right back with
four in the third for a 81 lead
and the ball game. They added
one in the fifth and two in the
eighth to run the count to 1877
but Caldwell pushed over three
more in the last Of the ninth for
a 1910 game.
With one out in the ninth,
Lobby Mazgay blasted out his
second triple of the day scoring
a minute later when Peanut Car
penter dropped Stan Mazgay's
fly ball. George Macenko walked
and followed Stan Mazagy home
on Paul Warrens base hit for
three runs in this frame.
CaldWells big second inning
saw Taylor lead off by popping
to the pitcher. Warren was hit
by the pitcher, Ed Mazgay
grounded to short but the sec
ond baseman missed the bag al
lowing both runners to pull up
safe. Craft singled scoring War
rem, ChicWak lined a hit to right
field scoring E. Mazgay and
Craft, Davis singled Chicwak
moving to third, Stellfox fouled
to the catcher for out number
two.
Lobby Mazgay hit safely to
score ChicWak, Stan Mazgay
singled to score Davis and L.
Mazgay, Taylor up for the sec
ond time slapped out a hit bring
ing in Mazgay. Warren singled
Taylor to third but Ed Mazgay
struck out to end the inning.
Heavy stickWork for Caldwell
was done by Lobby Mazgay with
three for four including two
triples, while Stan Mazgay had
two hits one a double. Paul
Warren also hit safely twice.
For the Quakers, Groves
spanked in the fielding depart
ment, while in hitting, Miller
had "A and Morgan "a, each
driving in four runs.

THE MALAGA TEAM O,

Little Mountain League blew up
last week and disbanded and
will be replaced by Boston, a
small town about three miles
southwest of Barnesville in Som
erset township. They have as
sumed Malaga's standing in the
league and will replace this team
in all future games. Elmer Steen,
former catcher of the Somerton
entry, will be the manager Of
the Boston outfit. Art Groves,
who performed so brilliantly in
the field against Caldwell last
Sunday as shortstop, is one Of
the Malaga players who is now
affiliated with Quaker City. In
last weeks games, Malaga for
feited their game to Somcrton
by a score of 90, Barnesville de
feated Batesville 9-5, and
Woodsfield hit the victory trail
with a l4-7 win over Holloway.
This coupled with CaldWelps S
loss to Quaker City 1910 throws
four teams into tie for second
place behind undefeated Barnes

and Woodsfield battled to a 6-6
tie, the game called at ll:00

Delivery of Buses to be Made
at Opening of School Here
in September
Two Nine-Year Old Buses are
Traded i'm with Purchase of
New Equipment

Two new school buses have been
purchased by the Bluffton board of
education, to replace pair of nine
year-old vehicles, retirement of which
is provided by law.
In the purchase, the board ordered
one International and one Ford bus,
with delivery to be made before the
opening of the fall school term.
According to state law, school
buses should be replaced every eight
years, but the two vehicles now be-
ing taken off school routes have been
in use for nine school terms.
In addition to the two new buses,
the board also will operate one older
international and a Chevrolet bus.
New stop lights, of an improved type
prescribed by law, are being installed
on the older buses.

LIGHT FINGERED
THIEVES CRACK
SAFE AT COLLEGE
No Fingerprints Found When
Authorities Examine Scene
of Robbery
Loot Consists of S22 from Safe
~in Registnr's-O Office; Files
RanSacked

Light Fingered burglars who left
no fngerprints last Thursday night
broke into fireproof safe in the
Bluffton college registrars office and
made off with its cash contents
amounting to $50.
Allen county sheriff's deputies who
were here last Thursday morning to
make an investigation of the burg
larry were unable to find any finger
prints or other clues.
There was plenty of evidence that
a robbery had been committed, how
ever, for office files were scattered
over the floor, and large hole had
been chopped into the fireproof safe.
The safe is of composition ma
terial, designed particularly to pro-
tect records from fire rather than
serving as a burglar-proof deposi-
tory, college officials said.
Office of President l.. L. Ram
seyer, adjacent to the registrars Of
flee, also had been ransacked but
apparently the $40 in cash repre-
sented the only loot taken.
Entrance to the building was
gained through an unlocked front
door. First report of the burglary
was made Friday morning when a
summer school student discovered
the office door standing open.
DR.. Ramseyer had been in his of
flee until $3.50 p. m. on the preced-
ing night, and it is assumed the rob-
berry occurred sometime between then
and the following morning.

OF % Candidates Seeking City
Posts Only Three Are
Incumbents
Three Terms Expire On School
Board: All New Candi-
dates For Body

Blutfton's turnover in elective of
fee holders next January / will be
the greatest in the history of the
town, and an earlier trend which
found few municipal officers seek
ing reelection was continued during
the last week when board of educa-
ton members whose terms expire
at the end of this year declined to
be candidates.
Of % candidates seeking the IL
elective posts in the municipal gov
erning setup only three are incum-
bents; and two of the three are
candidates for the board of public
affairs, For the other nine muni-
cipal offices, Councilman Frank Todd
is the only candidate now in office.
In the board of public affairs race,
: Forrest stainnan' and Harvey Beid-
Ter are the two holdover candidates,
and should they be reelected will
servie with one new member.
New FACES
At least FIVE new councilmen will
fill the six chairs beginning next
January /, and there also will be a
new mayor, clerk and treasurer, for
none of the incumbents are candi-
dates.
In next falls board of education
election none of the members whose
terms expire are candidates for an
other term. These are Norman
Triplett and Paul DilIer, Republi-
cans, and Leland Diller, board pres
ident, Democrat.
Three new candidates have been
nominated by each party, and the in
coming members will have control
of the board since there are only
two holdovers-Levi Althaus, Dem
ocrat, and Carl ,Derringer, Republi-
can.
TURNOVER GENERAL
Richland township offices to some
extent also will be affected by turn
over, for the only incumbents in the
race again include one trustee and
one justice of the peace candidate.
Fred Badertscher is the trustee
candidate up for reelection on the
Democratic ticket, and Stanley
Vertner, Republican, is seeking an

stables is in the field; one justice Of
the peace will be new one, and at
least one or two township trustees
will be serving for the first time.

COURSES DROPPED
LAST Year TO BE
TAUGHT THIS FALL
Rluffton and Beaverdam to CO.
operate in Operating
Departments
Final Details i'm Arrangement
Are Being Worked Out
This Week

Smith-Hughes vocational agri-
culture will again be taught in Bluff
ton high school during the coming
year after having been dropped from
the curriculum for the past year. An
nouncement to this effect was made
by Supt. A. r. Murray, Tuesday.
The announcement coming inn
mediately preceding the arrangement
of pupils schedules which takes place
next week is expected to attract a
sizable number of farm boys to
take courses in the department..
While number of final details
remain to be ironed out, the situa-
tion has reached the point where
resumption Of classes in vocational
agriculture is definitely assured, the
superintendent stated.
Cooperate With Beaverdam
Present plans are to operate the
department in conjunction with
Beaverdam high school as was done
two years ago. Calvin Leimbaca,
then instructor, divided his time
equally between the two schools.
Following his resignation here in
the spring of 194S, Leimbaca taught
full time in Beaverdam last year.
However, in response to an overture
of the Bluffton board of education,
the Beaverdam board is said to be
agreeable to returning to the former
part-time arrangement which is also
reported acceptable to Leimbach.
Approval of the plan has been
granted by the state department of
education and efforts are now being
made TO reach Leimhach 10 c5tafss.
his formal acceptance of the contract.
Glass schedules for the two schools
will be made out by superintendent
Murray and Supt. Paul Stoodt OF
the Beaverdam schools.
Revive Agricultural Activities
With the vocational agriculture
department reopened in the high
school here there would be revived
student agricultural organizations
such as Future Farmers Of America
and adult agricultural instruction
programs which have been dormant
the past year.
Agriculture, together with art and
speech departments was dropped
from the high school curriculum by
action of the board of education in
the spring of 194S in a general re-
trenchment program to affect
economies in school operation. How
ever, it is pointed out that with half
of Leimbach's salary paid by the
federal government thru the state
department of education and Bluff
ton and Beaverdam dividing the cost
of the balance, expense of maintain
ing the department is comparatively
small.
