FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1936 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE English Classes Answer Letters Each week many letters are received from people who want to know what kind of school we have here. These letters come from all over the world. Only re- cently a lad of Esslinger, Germany, wrote, asking if he might enter this school of Mr. Henry Ford's of which he had heard so much. The letter was writ- ten in German. At another time, the writer was an Irish lad, and then a hoy of Ecuador. Inquiries have even been received from far-away China, Japan, and the Philippines. Most of these letters are from boys and young men who have heard of the Trade School and would like to enroll. Many want to know how much it will cost them and are amazed to learn that the students receive a cash scholarship. Answers are written by members of the A-Class as part of their work in English. Approximately seventy-five an- swers are sent out each week. Typing is under the direction of William Boghiam, W-E-l, James Murphy supervising. FIELD-DAY AWARDS ON DISPLAY The Bob-Lo excursion awards are now on display in the library. There are 56 nedals, 24 gold baseballs, and 10 tro- phies . The shop instructors' baseball team, Led by Nick Credit, is rapidly rounding Lnto shape. The class instructors, oached by Ray Shillum swear revenge for the defeat handed them by the shop last fear. This is just one of the many Events of the day. The program is nearing completion. Lf you have any suggestions see the committee. (DRAFTSMEN D(R®P D NOTIAL [BATTLE T® F®(RD$®[N Showing lack of competitive'playing experience, the Craftsman varsity base- ball team dropped the initial game of its 1936 schedule to Fordson Saturday, April 25, at Fordson Field, score, 6-2. The Craftsman scored early when William Sonnenberg's timely single sent two runners scampering across the plate. Fordson tied it up in the last of the second with a lusty triple, followed by Frank Mugerdichian's error, which al- lowed four bases. Charles Epps, starting Craftsman port-sider, fanned eight and allowed two hits and two runs during the four innings that he worked) however, he tired fast and his successor, Harry Monks, was less successful. Fordson put the game on ice in the fourth and fifth innings by scoring twice in each frame. Twelve Craftsman batters went the strike-out route and the final totals, when the game was called at the end of the seventh, stood: Craftsman, two runs, five hits, and three errors; Fordson, six runs, six hits, and one error. (HUGH LIGHTS ®F THE GAME Superb pitching by Norman Tomlin featured the C-Class Bengals 1-0 victory over the A-Class Microbes. In two games only one hit has been collected off the offerings of Pirate pitchers. Anthony Chatzka's hitting has been a large factor in his team's winning games. Norman Stryzewski is the only play- er in the M-Section with a perfect bat- ting record of 1.000. The Pirate roster is the largest in the W-Section. They carry seven out- fielders, seven infielders, three pitch- ers, and one catcher. Frank Mugerdichian and Harold Hoff- man are the leading hitters in the sen- ior division of the M-Section.
