THE FORUM Twenty-three THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. It was the day of the opening game of the season and 30,000 frantic base- ball bugs turned out on a chilly, damp April day to see the first game between the lllolves and the Buccaneers. These two teams were doped out by the scribes as the best bets for the championship. After a scrappy practice on the soggy Field and the customary opening day's frolics, the game began. The First five innings passed unevent- fully, each team getting a hit, and se- curing a walk. The game had settled into a pitching duel. Birdie Wheeler, however, starting the sixth for the Bucks, smashed out a clean safety. Mort lN'illiamson sacrified him to second, and Birdie flew home on a single to right by Dirk Grant. The lVolves went out in one, two, three order in their half of the sixth. The seventh and eighth inn- ings passed with no runs and a hit apiece for each team. The ninth inning started with Rip Jourdan, the Vtlolves' pitcher, blowing up and passing both Leonard and Douglas. Fisher then made a neat sacrifice. XVith men in second and third and one down, .lourdan tightened and struck Cofall and O'Neil out. -Iourdan and Forrest opened the ninth for the Vtlolves by fanning. The crowd got up then and started for the exits: but a pass to Danny Simpson and a single by Schaeffer brought them back again. A safety hy Mueller scored Simpson and sent Schaeffer to second. Then jack Xllelch, the league's leading swatsman last year, sauntered to the plate. So far, he hadn't touched the ball, but with the count three and two, after fouling six balls, hc connected with one of Babe Young's best slants and sent a slashing single to deep center, scoring Gilmore, running for Schaeffer, with the winning marker.

For -lim, a farmer friend, and I, while visit- ing the country, were attracted by two well greased poles topped with little flags. jim informed me that all one had to do in order to win applause and the prize was to bring down from its lofty perch one of the little banners. So, upon jim's invitation, I readily agreed to en- ter the lists with him, quite forgetting my mother's caution not to soil my blouse. But the upward journey was not so easy a task as I had thought it would beg and I soon found out, to my despair, that for every upward climb I made, I'd make two downward-a very discouraging thing. My opponent was gaining steadily on me. Indeed, I was only a little way up when he came down like lighting, hit- ting the ground with a heavy thud. I was very much puffed up at his sudden descent. Then, I felt myself slipping! And lo and behold, I was sitting oppo- site my adversary-on the ground! VVe then started to climb again. After a rapid succession of falls in which both of us participated, I pantingly reached the top, in the lead of jim. I opened my arms to grab the Hag, but down I came, like Mercury, hitting the ground with an awful hump! The exciting contest was finished amid the mirthful roar of the farmers. My friend was the winner, for profiting by my mistake, he did not take his arms from the pole to seize the flag. He used his mouth. A. Brown, 306. One day, mother asked my little sister what kind of a girl she would be if she were taken to my cousin's house for the day. Marjorie, quite excited, said, Oli! I'd be so ticklish!

Mrs. Stecker- Are there any corrections in that sentence? Junior- He ought to have a little i Ceyel in the 'Ihr' lear.l IN ENGLISH. I was careful to go on my right side, but a boy came toward me, running along on his left side. A LUNCH Room EATASTROPHE. Into the lunchroom, hungry, one day, Came a young lady most happy and gay, When she had reached for her noodles and pie A long arm intruded which caused her to sigh. Crash! bang! went her dishes and tray! This filled her full of grief and dismay. Ruth Richardson, 306. EGGS. One summer while visiting my aunt and uncle who lived on a farm, my aunt took my little sister to search for eggs. They procured all the eggs they could, and then my aunt chased a. hen oif her nest. My sister ran up to the nest and took the egg. As the hen had just been sitting on it, it was warm. My sister exclaimed: Oh, Is'e found a hard boiled egg! Geraldine House, 252. SPRING FLOWERS. Rain drops, rain drops, sink down deep! Waken the liowers out of their sleep, Wash their faces pretty and bright: Make them open their eyes to the light. Rain drops, ruin drops, hurry up spring!

Now, in the April sun, The country has begun To dress herself in green, And in each country lane, The willows surely mean To wear their leaves again. Marian Gray, 252. THE NIGHT BEFORE FINALS. A Parody. 'Twas the night before Finals, and all thru the home , , There was weeping and sighing--the finals had come! ' A The children weren't nestled at all in their beds, f. For visions of zeros danced in their heads: And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cop Hand settled things saying, We don't care a rap! When up o'er our heads there rose such a clutter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter! Two steps at a time I flew up the stairs, Arrived in my son's room, found tables and chairs All scattered and tumbled upon the bare floor, And my son in a tantrum behind the hall- door. And what to my wondering eyes should appear But a copy of Caesar,-that volume so dear! Then it dawned upon me-all in a Hash- My son had been saying, Oh, dash, dash, dash!! There never before was uite such a fool! I've come home to find tlint my pony's in school! Adolph Ettlinger, 351. ADVICE. Senn-xi-high! Senn-a-low! Freshies must know It's not all fun- There's work to be done. If you'd be a shark, Take your lessons to heart. Use good English at school, For that is the rule, Leave slanguage behind, For you'll soon find Classy, swell, gee-whiz Are not good biz, If you want to shine At Senn High, so fine.
