We feel however that this twenty-fifth year has made history in more ways than one. Golf has been introduced for the Hrst time, and the records made by the football and baseball teams, although not as good as they have been, are ones that the school can Well be proud of. ln short the class of 1926 can boast not only of quantity but of quality. We hope to see next year's cla-ss eclipse the records set by thisg mention has been made of a plan for reviving hockey as a sport at Carteret, and we feel that the school should also be represented in tennis. If all these Hdreamsl' come true, the school should have a rapid rise to fame. There is no better way of drawing new material to a school than by turning out champion- ship teams in athletics. ln sports like hockey, golf, and tennis, where weight is not such an important factor Carteret could make the leading Prep School teams of the state do some stepping. We would also like to express here our appreciation to the various members of the school and faculty who have contributed to the support of the magazine during the year. We think that so far as outside contribu- tions are concerned, this year 'fThe Carteret has been more representative of the whole school than in former years. The editor no longer is forced to write the whole magazine. www' . N0 'M 'dnlgbrkqnfv If :fb F ' I x ','n7n,1 f te?ZE2 L555'5'i?2aQ . lffisiflffe 241 SIXTH FQRM 8 THE CARTERET HICRBIAN S. D. BOTZOXV 'lHermie , i'Hoiman His form was ponderous and his step 'was slate. -Longfellow Lack of space prevents us from spelling out those two middle names, however we feel sure that Herman will pardon the omission. The placid look on Herman's face is quite different when the owner of said face is about to crash out a three-bagger or to tackle an onrushing halfback. Hermie was the Captain of this year's ball team, and contributed great- ly to its efficiency. Herman, like several of his classmates, is blessed with a pleasant disposition, but when this disposition loses its rosy tint, the most discreet action is to vacate the premises as quickly as possible, for Herman handles his ponderous form rather well. RI. I. T. will be honored by his presence next year, and we trust that he will soon be a famous engineer. CNot on a trainj. THE CARTERET 9 EDWARD VVALTER HOLBROOK Holy, Wozzle Yet in besiowilzg, mzzdam, He was most princelyf' -Shakespeare Holy has several other nicknames too numerous to mention here, however the more important ones are listed. Among his many virtues is his extreme generosity, time and again has he gone out of his way to drive some less fortunate classmate to his destination. As the picture shows, UXVozzle', does not have much excess weight to burden himself with, despite this fact he made himself felt in football, and, as the author can testify, was the possessor of the hardest pair of shins in the state. Holy does not expect to attend college, but will do his loafing over an office desk.

This smooth-looking young fellow is none other than Charles Krug, the lllaplewood mad-man. They say that Charlie inilates a cruel saxophone, as a matter of fact he has already turned down two offers from Gilda Gray in order to complete his education. Charlie intends to loaf the next four years away at the University of Pennsylvania. The authorities down there don't realize what theylye let themselves in for. However we really expect Charlie to turn out all right. Wie certainly wish him luck-it doesn't cost anything.

'Aliddiefy the Lionel Strongfort of Carteret, his physical score is the envy of all the boys in the school. Eddie was the model for the famous Do you know this Carteret boy?U picture. His mind has been developed in proportion to his body, however, for it is no unusual thing for him to knock down 90's in Latin or History. It is with a feeling of deep regret that yve see him leave, for his absence will be keenly felt by the football team and the department of physical measurements. Eddie expects to take a year at Andover before entering Yale. VVe expect great things of him in football.

Wie fear that 'lhlonysu talent is not sufficiently appreciated around school, however his radio audiences and those who are lucky enough to get tickets to his various reeitals seem to have a high opinion of his voice.

THE CARTERET I5 RICHARD N ELSON PALMER Slim Bless you, there was the likely lad, Supple and straight and long of limb. -Service l'Slim is another new addition to the class, and a most Valuable one. Poughkeepsie High School was his last stopping place before entering Car- teret, and it was there, we believe, that he absorbed most of his talent for football. Nelson is the leader of a sixth form spelling reform movementg the way he spells is a totally original One, in most Cases, and rivals that of Guy Decker in the good old days. Slim', expects to enter R. P. I. next fall, and we feel sure that he will make as many friends there as he has at Carteret, despite the fact that this is his first year. We hope that Nelson will not try to spell out the names of the college when applying for admission, but will follow our example and abbreviate. I6 THE CARTERET RICHARD MYRON REINHARDT A1Kipu Thou s11y'st an zmdispzzted ihing In such I1 solemn way. -Holmes Richard is a newcomer in our midst and consequently has not had much of an opportunity to display his wares. Kip is a product of East Orange High School and is an able representative of that institution. The much discussed question of the rare case of the l'Specihc heat of the calori- meter holds no perils for brother Kip', as his Physics marks will testify. Reinhardt does not expect to en-ter college, and will probably follow the example of Mr. Holbrook, and shine his elbows on an office desk. THE.

This fiery young orator in his spare time is the athletic editor of A'The Carteret. No, Bob has no more of these pictures to give out, so don't ask him. Ross carried off the honors in last years Colgate debates, and continues to lead the field in this line with his informal orations and witticisms. He will join the Carteret forces at the University of Pennsylvania, where, we have no doubt, he will continue to make himself heard from. I8 THE CARTERET PAUL DE BLOIS SCOTT Scottie All I want is just quiet, just Io rest. -Service The seemingly honest face under this side wheel hair-comb is the property of li'l Paulie Scott. The vacant stare is due entirely to i'.Scot- tielsl' efforts to make The Carteret a bigger and better paper. Heli the Ed. you know,-the guy who Writes the stuff you read in here. In order to complete this little article, we asked Scottie', where he intended going to college. College ?,' he answered, what iss? We think he got that way from reading Nize Babyf' Seriously though, Scottie was one of the stellar performers on the football and baseball teams this year. He has given a great deal of his time to writing for The Carteret. Paul thinks that Princeton Won't be able to struggle along Without him, so he has been debating with the College Entrance Board for some time in refer- ence to this little matter. THE CARTERET I9 ROBE RT SXVAYZE XVAY Bob Hllflzere am I going? I don? quite know. Uflmt does if mutter wlzerzf people go? -llilne Bob is a rather indefinite member of the class, a sort of mystery man. He too has a generous and obliging nature and uses his Car to the advantage of all. VVe suspect that those weekly trips to Bound Brook are not made for the sole purpose of enabling Bob to milk the Cow or feed the chickens. Bob was a valuable addition to the baseball team this year, and had the unusual distinction of being a player-manager. Bob doesn't quite know what college to honor with his presence, and it. 20 THE CARTERET lass irentnrp Herman S. D. Botzow-Age 173 entered 1916, baseball 1925-26, Captain 1926.

Osborne-First Prize Carteret Short Story Contest. An elderly gentleman entered my office one day, and gave me a letter of introduction from the Librarian of Congress. He said his name was John Caseworthy, and he told me the following story: My father moved to South America when I was about five years old. He took all our furniture and household goods. In fact, he took everything we owned. This picture was among our possessions. He put all his money in a rubber plantation, and managed to make enough out of it to keep us going. But when he died, the plantation went to pot. I tried to keep it up, but failed. I gradually sold most of the fur- niture, but I kept this picture. I don't know why, but I did. When I came to New York, I brought it with me in case I should need money very badly. I dog so I'm selling it. What I get for it is going towards some new chemical scheme for the plantation. When I get all I need, I'm going back and try to make a success out of the place. Do you realize how much the picture is worth ? I asked, It's by Gilbert, and Gilbert's pictures of Washington are the most valuable there are. I didn't know exactly what it was worth, but I knew it was worth a great deal, he replied. Well, I'll have to investigate and compare it with some other pic- tures, if you don't mind. Be here the day after tomorrow at this time. Good day. When Mr. Caseworthy had gone, I took the picture of our famous President to an expert. Together we Went to the Museum of Art, where there are some of Gilbert's pictures. We compared the .signature on mine with those on the other pictures, and found them to be exactly the same. Then we went to the library Where we repeated the process of comparison. The expert announced that the picture was a perfect original and a safe buy. THE CARTERET 23 You,re lucky to-get such a good portrait so cheap, he added. I was very much pleased with myself and considered it very lucky that I should have found such a great portrait. ' At the appointed hour Caseworthy appeared, and I told him of my decision. As we sat talking over the qualities of the picture, I noticed something very queer about the nose. Mr, Washington never had a nose like that, I thought, as I moved to examine the peculiarity. As soon as I moved, the strangeness disappeared and the nose seemed perfect. Caseworthy noticed that I saw something and asked me what it was. 'The nose seemed a little queer, but I guess it was only an optical illusion, I answered. Right away he changed the subject and seemed more or less fidgety. However, I took no notice of this at the time, and began to look for my check book, which seemed to have been misplaced. Here we were interrupted by the ollice boy, who came in to deliver the morning mail. The pile was carelessly put down and it started to slide off the desk. Without looking straight at it, I caught and put it where it belonged. While doing this, I recognized the envelopes of two firms I was acquainted with. They were both art galleries. One in Chicago, and the other in San Francisco. When the boy had closed the door, I resumed the search for my check-book. I found it in a table drawer behind my desk. I wrote out the check and gave it to Mr. Caseworthy. He thanked me very much and took his leave. What a very nice old gentleman, I thought, as I turned around to look at the picture. Again the nose looked strangely out of proportion. But the instant I moved, it seemed all right once more, and I couldn't for the life of me, catch the sight again, although I thought I did once while I was moving about the room. Then I remembered how nervous Mr. Caseworthy had been after I told him about the nose. I began wondering. All at once I didn't like Mr. Caseworthy nearly as much as I had. Puzzled, I sat down to glance over the mail. Right away I noticed that the two letters I had noted before were missing. I knew that no one had been in the room except Mr. Caseworthy and myself. I knew that I hadn't touched them, and I knew that letters do not run away. But what could Mr. Caseworthy have wanted with those letters? And why those two, especially? I was quite sure one of them had a special delivery stamp on itg so it at least must have been important. I began to dislike hir. Caseworthy very much. 24 THE CARTERET I Went to the telephone and called my bank. Yes, ....,. this is the bank, ...... What do you want? ...... To cancel payment on a check? . . . . . .Certainly,. . . . . . . . To whom is it payable?. . . . . . What is that? .... . . John Caseworthy?. . - - . . All right,. . . . . . Certainly, . . . . . Good-bye I That was that. The next thing I did was to send the writer of each of the two letters a telegram, asking what they had said in their letters. I also asked them to hurry, as I was waiting for a reply. The first I re- ceived was from Chicago. It ran like this: 'fLetter was to inform you of portrait counterfeiter. Selling por- traits of Washington, supposed to be Gilbert's. Do not buy any. Signed: James R. Dyke, of the Dyke Art Galleries. A few minutes later I received another from San Francisco. It read as follows: Man by the name of Sidney Martin selling Gilbert's Washington. Fake, can tell by the nose. Don't buy. Signed: Thomas H. Pittley, of the San Francisco Art Galleries. After receiving them, I Went to my bank. I found that Caseworthy had presented my check, but had been refused payment on it. On in- quiring how he had taken the news, it seemed that he had been quite sur- prised but had gone out of the bank without saying anything. Neither Mr. Sidney Martin, James Humphrey, Cas he called him- self in Chicagoj, nor Mr. John Caseworthy has been heard of since. But I don't care. I have a perfectly good picture of Washington, even if it isn't by Gilbert. And I didn't pay a cent for it either. On writing to the librarian of Congress later, I found out that he had never heard of any such person, under any of his various names. MAKING GOOD I By Gilbert C. Fonda-2nd Prize Carteret Short Story Contest. Robert Tilford, jr., was a spoiled boy, according to the verdict of the Tilford's neighbors and Robert's teachers. He was not inherently a bad boy, but over-indulgent parents, too much money and too little religious training had, at the tender age of sixteen, combined to make Robert a selfish, inconsiderate boy. Robert Tilford, Sr., had been so engrossed with business that his son's shortcomings had not impressed him, until, one fine day, he was called on the telephone to come to Police Headquarters to give bail for Robert, who had been arrested for driving his father's car without per- mission or license, and failing to stop after running down a little child. It required all of the standing and influence of the Tilford family to keep Robert from a long jail sentence. THE CARTERET 25 Although Robert escaped punishment at the hands of the law, his father, now fully aware of Robert's Waywardness, lost no time in consulting with the Captain of a sailing vessel about signing up Robert as ordinary seaman for his return voyage. This sailing vessel was bound for several ports in South America. Robert's father expected his son to go to Buenos Aires and return, for he thought that the hardships of such a trip would knock the nonsense out of his perverse son. The day of Robert's departure came, and the poor boy left home, friends and all. He now felt sorry for all his misbehavior, but it was too late. , For many days, the vessel experienced fine weather on the long voyage to Rio de Janeiro, but the favorable weather did not last. lt was during one of the most severe storms that Robert had his first taste of hardship. Now, for the first time, he realized what a soft life he had had at home. After this experience, Robert decided to disembark at Rio de Janeiro. At last, the small vessel reached Rio de Janeiro, after a very hard and perilous voyage. Robert was glad to get off that craft, but he was never more homesick in his life. He missed his father and the others at home. There he was, down in South America, with very little money, for his father had given him only a small amount, as he thought he would remain on the schooner for the entire voyage. Robert's grief was much added to when the schooner that he had made the voyage in set sail again, leaving his friendless. Robert was now left entirely on his own resources. As he had very little money, there was but one thing for him to do, a.nd that was to work. Robert had never before had to earn a cent. Every- thing had been given to himg and, as a consequence, he did not know how hard it was to make a living. Robert's first job was in a general store on the outskirts of Rio. This work he found drudgery, and soon gave it up. After this, he drifted from one job to another, for he could not adjust him- self to the hardships every job seemed to hold. Robert came of a fine family and inherited many of their good quali- ties, but he certainly had been ruined by his lax bringing up. In spite of all this, however, Robert had inherent ability which only adversity could bring out. One day, while he was strolling aimlessly about, his eyes rested on a discarded newspaper printed in English. As he glanced over it, he saw, to his horror and amazement, that the schooner which had brought him from America had been wrecked in a bad storm, with the loss of its entire crew. This sorrow added to his homesickness and loneliness, for he pictured his father's feelings on learning of the disaster, since he might believe Robert to have been on board the vessel. 26 THE CARTERET Robert was now in a desperate situation, for, if he did not get a steady job pretty soon, he would starve. An idea suddenly came to him, as he was sitting in a small public park of Rio, which was his only refuge. He had experienced just what he needed. He had undergone so great priva- tion that his self-respect rose in rebellion, and he determined to find a way out. Suiting the action to the will, he made straight for the business center and instinctively entered a counting house which bore the name of his father's firm. He had at last overcome his scruples and decided to apply for a position in his father's house, under an assumed name. Here, Robert started work with enthusiasm that he had never before displayed. He began at the bottom of the ladder and, in a short time, was head of the department in which he had started, for he showed a natural ability in business. He was known as Bill Alban. His good work was recognized and duly rewarded. When he earned his own money, Robert was not so free to spend it. At the end of three years he had acquired a thorough understanding of the banana business, and had been gradually promoted, until he was now assistant manager, and had made a host of friends, for he had become very popular. Robert's chance to make a name for himself had come. He had con- tracted for 'a large shipment of commodities that the firm had not hereto- fore handled, and the resident member of the house had his misgivings as to the wisdom of Robert's undertaking. But, as everything in Roberts early life had seemed to go wrong, conversely all his endeavors seemed to turn out right after he had come to himself. These shipments proved very profitable, and Robert got into considerable correspondence with his father regarding them. When the last vessel had discharged its cargo in New York, Mr. Tilford, Sr., concluded that Mr. Alban was needed in the firm, believing what he had done to rejuvenate the South American house, he could do with the New York end, if he were transferred and given the management of the business. What was Robert's surprise, therefore, to receive a cable to report to the New York house at once, as he had been made a member of the firm and would be given charge of the entire management. Robert could hardly hold himself in bounds, so de- lighted was he to contemplate meeting his father under these conditions. One morning, therefore, about two weeks later, a handsome well- dressed young man appeared at the office of Tilford 85 Co., and presented his card bearing the name William Alban. This gentleman was immedi- ately shown marked deference while he waited for Mr. Tilford to dispose of a caller. He wa-s finally ushered into the presence of his father, who. at first, failed to recognize him, for he was now some four years older, had gained weight, and looked older than he was. It was not until Robert THE CARTERET 27 spoke that his father recognized him. The reunion cannot be described, for the joy of the older man was unspeakableg so much so, in fact, that tears came to his eyes. Robert's pride in having made good overwhelmed him as he stood before his father. Robert's genius for business soon made itself felt in the New York house 3 and, under the guidance of his father, the firm of Robert Tilford 85 Co., thrived as never before. Not many years after Robert's return, his father retired, giving Robert the sole management of the business. SPANISH GOLD It was a warm summer evening of the year 1797, when Capt. John Rubois stood surrounded by a group of pirates who were preparing him to walk the plank. He was returning from burying his treasure, when he was captured by a band of notorious pirates. He refused to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure, and was going to be made to walk the plank. Before they could secure his arms, he drew a small bottle from his pocket and threw it overboard. There was the report of a gun and he fell Writh- ing to the deck. As it was dark, it was impossible to recover the bottle, so its contents were never discovered by those who sought it. are 4 in in is is Charley Bryant, a young chemist of about twenty-two, came out of the clear Bermuda water and threw himself upon the warm sand. He lay there chatting with some friends of his and running his hands through the sand. He struck something hard and pulled out a small bottle. It was tightly sealed and contained some white paper. Upon seeing this, he went to his bathhouse in search of something to open it with. After work- ing with it, he dislodged the cork and produced a piece of dirty paper. As it was very old it had to be handled very carefully. There was a dim writing on it, but all he Was able to make out was the Word treasure. He dressed quickly and jumping in his car, soon reached home. He used chemical after chemical until finally the message same out. But the rest was very indistinct and all he could get out of it was about a-n island, a pit and a fire. He had tried every chemical but one, and this had to be used by dip- ping the paper into the liquid and then holding it over a flame. As he held it over the flame the following message came out: Lat. 24 16 4, Long. 122 18 24. One mile inland to edge of pit, two miles west and down twenty-five feet. The rest was torn off. Charley hgured that it must be an island about five hundred miles north of the Philippines, and although he had a very good position, he did not feel that he could afford to finance such an expedition. That evening 28 THE CARTERET he Went to call on a friend of his who had inherited a great deal of money and was always ready to enjoy some excitement. He sailed for New York, where his father, upon hearing of his plan, warned him that he was going on a wild-goose chase, but he was not to be stopped so easily. The third day after his arrival in New York, ten fellows started out on the Overland Limited bound for San Francisco. Immedi- ately after their arrival, Charley Went in search of a craft. The only one that came within his price was a three-masted schooner. One fine June morning in 1921, she sailed out of San Francisco Bay on her long voyage. The good weather lasted but for two days, and then storm after storm pushed them far from their course. Finally a water- logged and weather-beaten ship touched at the town of Aparri, which is on the extreme northern point of the Philippines. Here they inquired of an island to the north. One old man said that a ship had once been wrecked on the coast, and the crew had told of an island of fire far to the north, but besides that, he knew nothing. They all laughed at this, but Charley remembered that there was something about a fire in the instruc- tions and he thought that perhaps there was some truth in the story. When all was in readiness they set sail and were soon a good way towards their destination. On the night of August 29, the man that was stationed in the top yelled out, Light away to port. At first as they approached, it resembled the reflection of a distant fire, but as they drew nearer it took the form of a burning oil tank. When they were within a mile of the island, for there was no mainland in that latitude or longi- tude, they heard a muttering and rumbling like that of thunder. Could it be that the story of the fiery island was true? It was two o'clock when Charley decided to investigate, and if possible, learn what it was before daylight, for if there were natives on the island, they would probably see them coming, lie in ambush, and kill them all. They rowed very quietly and as soon as the boat touched the beach, they jumped ashore. They Worked their Way through trees and underbrush until, to the surprise of all, they came upon a plain which was about a mile in diameter. In the center was a huge pit about an eighth of a mile in diameter, from which shot flames and small particles of lava. As soon as they made certain that there was no danger, they returned to the ship to try and get as much sleep as possible before they commenced their Work in the morning. Early the next morning Charley went ashore with the men to com- mence the search. As the heat was so intense and as the men had so much to carry, they wore only pants and shoes. First, they went one mile inland and then two miles west. It was a terrible trip, climbing over rocks and THE CARTERET 29 mounds of lava, and chopping down the underbrush. Suddenly Charley, who was leading, burst through a th-icket and found himself on the top of a sheer precipice. It went about 600 feet to the sea. As their instructions were of no further use, they commenced to dig. They dug for two days, and then the men became so exhausted that they had to rest before they could go any further. As Charley lay in his tent that night, he turned the whole problem over in his mind. He simply had to win. The next day, as an incentive, he offered a prize consisting of one eighth of the treasure to the man that found it first. On Sunday, Charley took some lunch with him and went to explore the cliffs. They were steep and dangerous, so he decided to return to the ship, take the gig, and row to the bottom of them. At last-he beached his gig and stood looking up at the dark and threatening projections. Af- ter examining them, he slowly began his dangerous climb. At times he hung by his fingers, and at other times he had to jump for a hold above. At last he reached the object of his trip, a large smooth rock, which he had noticed while fishing the day before. By throwing a noose over a large rock, he pulled himself up to a small ledge. Then he leaned over and managed to Work the boulder loose, so that with a final shove, it fell to the sea with a tremendous splash. ln its place was an iron door secured by rusty bolts. With the use of a hatchet and some rocks, he managed to pull the door off, and there lay a pit with a ladder going down. Charley not trusting the ladder, fastened a rope to the iron door, and lowered himself down. At the bottom there was a passage-way leading to some remote re- cess. Taking a candle from his pocket, he slowly made his way forward by the use of its small light. Suddenly the narrow tunnel swung into a large cavern, which was filled with large iron-bound chests. Taking his hatchet, he drove it into the nearest one, and, as it was rotted by age, it split open and revealed that precious yellow metal that was valued so high- ly by his ancestors, Spanish Gold. ,l.i..l.- ' Traffic Cop: What's your name?

The present staff offers hearty congratula- tions and wishes the new board the best of luck. Early in June, Mr. Richardson, who spoke to the boys last year, gave an interesting discription of the coming Blairstown Conference, and urged Carteret boys to take an interest and send some delegates. Several of the boys are considering attending the convention and have written to Nlr. Richardson for particulars. This seems to be the open season for picture taking of various descrip- tions, a number of the sixth formers having had to go through the gruelling ordeal of watching the birdieu six or seven times during the past few weeks. The annual Alumni baseball will have been played when this issue appears. The way things appear at present, this affair will be one of the THE CARTERET 31 most successful in years. The Alumni dinner planned for the evening of June l7, also promises to be a great success. Carteret entered several boys both in the Princeton Interscholastic Track Meet, and the State Meet at Newark, N. J. Fred Hood came the nearest to glory by winning his heat in the century dash at Princeton. He failed to qualify in the semi-finals however. The much heralded Young American Club closed its activities for the year with a meeting on Friday evening, May 28th. The first new local chapter of the club, South Orange High School, was admitted at this meet- ing. Bill Crabb was elected president of the new chapter, and Bob Bilder, vice-president. George Miller Shelley, a graduate of Carteret Academy in 1923, has been awarded the Henry W. Scott prize in French offered annually to a Junior at Yale. He has been elected to the staff of the Yale Record and a member of the Play Craftsmen at the university. GOLF For the first time in the history of the school, so far as we know, a golf team has been organized at Carteret. The first and only match played by the team at this writing met defeat at the hand of Newark Academy, likewise a newly formed team this year. The match was a close one however and had it not been that the Nassau system of scoring was used, Carteret would have been victorious. In straight match play Car- teret had the edge 3-2. The feature match of the day was betwen John- ny Parker, Carteret's star, and Russell, number one of the Newark team. At the turn Johnny was two down, due to an unaccountable weakness in putting. At this point however, Parker started to play unbeatable golf, com- ing in in par, 35, for a 4 and 2 victory over Russell. Town halved his match with Blauvelt of Newark after running up a big lead early in the match. Pen Reed played a fine game to defeat Nevin of Newark. Horn of Carteret lost to Adams ZW-M, While Poinier, Carteret lost to Mackin- ney, Newark 3-0. The Hnal count of the match was Newark 9, Carteret 6. Plans are being made for a return match with Newark and also for a match with Cornish School. . 32 THE CARTERET Jfuuthall Gram The football team of 1925, although not as successful as the previous teams still deserves a lot of credit. With no strong squad at the beginning of the season, they ended the season minus five regulars. For next year's team, five regulars remain, with prospects of good material. We Wish Captain-elect Hood all the luck in the world for next season.

Next year's team ought to be a big success, for we lose only two regulars. The Captain-elect has not yet been picked. Game summary: Carteret ........... - . 10 Wardlaw . . .

On April 22nd, Kingsley inflicted on the local ball club its second defeat of the season, at Essex Fells. As the score indicates, the game was not close. This was due first of all to the splendid pitching of Mayes, secondly to ten Carteret errors. The Winning pitcher held the Orangeites to a lone safety, a bunt by Pen Reed in the sixth inning. Seventeen Car- teret lads went the way of the strike-out route, while only one succeeded in drawing a pass. Charley McLaughlin also pitched a good game, but was given poor support in spots. He fanned twelve and walked two. The Kingsley runs were collected largely in the first and eighth innings, when rallies netted three runs each. Other rallies that might have proved dangerous, were promptly settled by double plays, three in all. The line-up : CARTERET A. B. R. H. P. O. A. E.

Our journey to New York on the 29th of April proved disastrous. It was a very ordinary game and the brand of ball displayed by the Car- teret nine was much inferior to their usual. McLaughlin pitched well, striking out thirteen, but, again, he had indifferent support. Anderson who succeeded Bowles on the mound in the second inning fanned twelve Carteret batters.

Gn May 11th, the Academy team came out of the small end of the horn by the score indicated. The slow ball slants of Lott the Elizabeth- 38 THE CARTERET town hurler kept the locals guessing until the ninth inning. It was then that a three run rally saved us from a shut-out. A pass and four hits ac- counted for the runs. The game was full of breaks, but none of them came our way. A strong wind was blowing toward the plate, making it im- possible to throw out a man stealing second. Scott played Well for Car- teret, scoring two runs with his double in the ninth. McLaughlin fanned ten, and his opponent the same. The line-up: CARTERET A. B. R. H. P. O. A. E.

On May 5th playing on home grounds lent a helpful influence, when the Carteret nine batted out a victory over the visitors from Summit. The THE CARTERET 39 home team deserved the gameg collecting seven hits when they were needed and making no infield errors. The hitting of the Carteret lads has much improved, for only two sat down by the strike-out route. Charley Mc- Laughlin fanned eleven. The Carteret runs came four in the first inning on a pass, a sacrifice, four hits, and an error. The visitors' runs came one in the fourth and one in the sixth innings. The line-up: ORATORY A. B. R.

This is a team we ought to have beaten and but for two gifts of two runs each, we would have done so. The game was played at the Carteret Stadium on May 18th. Both teams got away early. Newark scored two runs in the first, two in the second, and three in the third. Five times 40 THE CARTERET after that, the visitors advanced a man as far as third base, but due to McLaughlin's pitching and his teammates' support, were unable to score. Carteret got a run in the first on a pass, a stolen base, and a hit. The second inning netted two runs on a base on balls, an error, a sacrifice, and a hit. Another rally in the sixth fell short by one run. As can be seen the local nine had a bad batting slump. ' The box score: CARTERET A. B. R. H. P. O. A. E.

On May 26th the Carteret team pulled together and took their last game by the above score. Morristown had a very good record, so this THE CARTERET 41 victory should help our ranking a lot. As a game, it was all that could be desiredg well played on both sides Morristown took the lead in their half of the fourth inning with four hits and two sacrifices netting them three runs. Carteret came back in our half with five, sending Hayden from the mound. Armstrong succeeded him and held the Orangeites scoreless the rest of the game, but the damage was done. The Carteret runs resulted from two hits, two passes, and an infield error. Morris- town got another run but it didn't do them any good for McLaughlin held them to one hit for the rest of the game. The two Morristown pitchers fanned eight, and donated eight bases on balls. McLaughlin struck out ten, and issued three passes. The box score: MORRISTOWN A. B. R. H. P. O. A. E.

MOVIES MARE NOSTRUM For those who study Latin-and for some who do not-we herewith give the translation of the above. OUR SEA. This unusual picture concerns the great World War. Although we do not like war, we like pictures about it and this picture is one of the best. Mare Nostrum contains all kinds of intrigue, feminine spies, and some irreproachable love-making on the part of one of these spies. Alice Terry is very charming in the part of the German spy. Through her wiles she wins the hero-played by Antonio Moreno-and gets him in- to serious trouble, though she finally turns against the Fatherland. There are heart-breaking parts in the picture so if you are susceptible to crying don't go. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE: Harold Llf0yd's new picture is as good as ever and you will get as many laughs as you ever did. It is very hard to describe the picture, but you must see it if you want to have a good time.
