a month. I bought a paper and on the front page I found an article in which Alice Scott was mentioned as chairman of the peace commission. Heavens! Alice was always such a scrapper. I could im- agine how much peace there’d be. And down a little farther I found that Theo Boylan was a special detective and in- spector for the Washington Police De- partment and had been put in charge of ' the .murder of Henry Ford, alleged have been slain for flooding the market. Now for Ipswich and home. I didn’t have time to visit Lillian Brown but I know that she broke the typewriting rec- ord and is now private secretary to the president of the New York-California Ae- ro Bus Company My long looked for trip is now ended and I shall settle down to work with glad remembrances of my classmates of 1924.

ATHLETICS MANNING VS DANVERS AT DANVERS This was the first game of the year for Manning and the team played good ball. The feature of the game was a triple play by Danvers in the fourth inning. Smith and Fannon were on second and first base respectively, and receiving the signal that Doyle was going to bunt, they ran for the next base as soon as the ball was hit, but the attempted bunt was a fly ball to the pitcher who threw to the first base- man, getting Fannon, and then the ball was thrown to secon-d getting Smith.
