Haines township school directors
have had plans draughted and specifi-
cations made for a new school building,
to replace the old structure that was
partly destroyed by fire of an unknown
origin early last spring. It is not gen-
erally known whether the new build-
ing will occupy the site whereon the
old structure now stande, but as the
state department of public schools
must approve all plane, the scholars
snd teachers in that district can look
for something more up-ic-date and
comfortable than what they have been
used to io the past, The town-
ship schools are the best equipped of

NOTES ON THE GAME.
Baird, an old team mater, coversd
distinguish himesef,
Horr, Btate's reverend fist base-
mar, appeared in the distavce like the
Wasnington monament!. He fielded
well but was weak with the willow.
That relay on Deitrick’s attempted
home rur, in the first inning, was well
executed. Four fielders handled the
ball in an accurate and speedy mar-
ner, retiring the runner close to the
place.
Bmith had little trouble with State's
batters and appeared to exert himself
very little in disposing of then.
Garis was spiked by Deitrick at the
plate in the first inoing, the spikes
penetrating the shoe and stocking and
inflicting sn ugly wound.
The home team le scheduled to play
at Bpriog Mills today (Thursday) ss

Centre Hall may justly feel proud of
its baseball tes, from the stand-
point of their ability ae ball players
and the clean and sportemsnlike
manner in which they conduet them-
ssives on the field. Wrangling with
the umpire on every little adverse des
cielon is a thing of the past, and this
is as it should be, But such is not the
oase, unforiu ately, as regards the more
youthfal devolees of the game who
line up on both sides of the diamond
when a game is in progress and burl
abusive remarks at umpire snd oppo:-
log players alike. This practices
should be suppressed for it Is such me-
tions that disgusts spectators who ad-
mire fair play and keeps at home the
feminine contingent to whose more
delicate nature the imprecations in-
dulged in have the most loathsome ef-
fect. No one can bring about this fm-
provement of conduct on the ball fleld
better than the howe team themselves
and they owe it to patrons of the game
to put a summary stop to the first
