THE ACORN ARBOR DAY EXERCISES. On March 7, 1907, the school celebrated Burband Day in unique fashion. At eleven o’clock the entire student body assembled in the auditorium and listened to several addresses on the value of a public playground, and facilties for outdoor sport. The Glee Club rendered a splendid program, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Altogether, the event will not be soon forgotten by those who participated in it, and it gave the playground idea a good boost forward. OAKLANDS BEST Chas.H.

THE ACORN BASEBALL. St. Mary’s, 8; Alameda, 8. Our first game was played with the St. Mary’s aggregation (the Young Phoenix). It was rather a slow game, resulting in a tie, but with all due apologies for the beginning. Despite the loose playing the game was startling at inetrvals. Gale started the twirling for Alameda and was succeeded by Murphy, who gave way to Brush. The main feature of the game was the stickwork of Gale and Kues. Cadets, 5; A. H. , 3. The second game of the season was between the first corus 2adets and Alameda, in which the latter were victorious. Gale began pitching with many wild throws, but soon settled down and the rest of the game was worthy of any spectator’s attention. St. Ignatius, 12; A. H. §., 10. When St. Ignatus came over the fellows were too confident of victory and sta rted the game in a very careless manner. Several men were tried in different positions and when their minds were settled on the game there were some star performances. Murphy, Henn, Gelderman, Kues and Johnson proved themselves very clever. St. Mary’s, 10; A. H.S., 1. Alameda went over to St. Mary’s March 14th and the trip was evidently too mueh. The team was beaten 10 to 1. Nuf ced. Homer’s Mother—What studies are you taking now, Homer, dear? TRACK. Maeaulay is the mainstay of our hopes this term. In the B. C. L. and A. A. L. we expect him to win both the 2.20 and 4.40. Never before has he shown such form. Even the newspapers are recognizing his ability and are lauding him. Besides Macaulay we have Jackson, who has been running a fast 220 and 100; and Per- kins, who is doing the 440 and 880 in good time. Sepulveda is out and in shape for the 100 and 220, and Claxton is going to do some- thing in the 880. 3esides these we have Shattuck, a good miler, and Tufts, a 880 man, Kues for the high jump, and Frick for the shot put. So far this term Frick has shunned all turning out, and it is to be hoped that he will get a hustle on and train for the B. C. L. and A. A. L.
