VOL. XCYV. Snow and Freezing Weather. The first ten days of April witnessed an assortment of weather that ranged all the way from mid-summer to mid- winter variety, For instance, from the ard to the 6th there was a season of hot weather, with mercury soaring to 81 degrees. As a result fruit trees broke forth in full blossom, and out-door labor was being done in shirt sleeves. On Sanday last there came along a full sized snow storm, and the day throughout was an unpleasant one. Mercury con- tinued to go down the tube farther and farther until on Sunday night it reached 21 degrees—I11 below the freezing line. Just what effect this might have had on the cherry, peach, plum and apples remains to be seen, but it is a pretty safe guess that there'll be no abundance of fruit this year, FIN J Sold New Cars. Decker Brothers, Spring Mills, have recently sold new automobiles to the following : William Henninger, of Spring Mills; John Klifiefelter, of Millheim ; Samuel Stitzer, of Spring Mills, and Robert Bierly, of Rebers. burg.

First Game of the Season Results in Slugging the Feature. The only baseball team Centre Hall will have for 1921 is the one composed of the local High school students, and juaging by their work in the first game, which was played on Friday afternoon on the school ground here, it will prove a good team, and one hard to beat, at least by any High school in the county, The Boalsburg boys were the first op ponents and they went down to defeat by the score of 16 to 11. Good solid pounding of the ball is what won for the home team. The fourteen hits amassed by the locals included two two- baggers, four three-baggers and a home run. The extra base hits were as clean as a hound’s tooth and were driven with a force which would have done credit to much more experienced ball players, Harold Keller led his team with two three-baggers and a single, His last drive was the longest of the game, carry- ing farther” that Newton Crawford's home run. William Sweetwood came along with two timely three-baggers. William is the *'big boy’ of the team : plays a nice game at first base, and can hit, Boalsburg opened up with a determi- nation to win. After Newton Crawford hit the first batter in the game, Fisher brought him “home” with a three-base drive. Stover followed with a hit of like dimensions, and the count wa 2 to o. This proved to be Boalsburg's best and heaviest stickwork until the lucky seven- th. No more extra base hits were gath- ered off Newton, and only two more runs were made by Boalsburg until inning, when the home r only erratic work of the A few costly errors and seventh did thei game, cession of singles soon counted seven rune, and made it appear that Boalsburg might still win out. However, it prov- d to be the last of their good work, for they went out in rapid order in the last two innings, Centre Hall forged ahead in their turn at bat. Ed.
