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,

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-

School Children in Debate
The subject, ; “Resolved, that the

afternoon in the grammar grade of the
Centre Hall public schools. The affirm.
ative side was taken by Agnes Geary
and Ruth Bingman, while the negative
was upheld by Paul Smith and C
Reiber. These are youngsters

Something Good for Local Sportsmen
For the benefit of sportsmen and cam-
pers, the Pennsylvania Department of
Forestry is issuing complete maps of
the Logan State Forest in Centre, Miff-
lin, and Huntingdon counties. These
public use maps are distributed free by
the Department trom its Harrisburg
office, and they may be obtained free
from District Forester T. Roy Morton,
of Petersburg,
The maps show in detail all streams,
roads, trails, fire lines, fire observation
towers, railroads, leased camp sites,
towns aud villages, and county lines,
The Reporter received one of these
maps and does not hesitate to say that
it is a really good map, showing in de-
tail all the mountains and valleys, with
all familiar points marked.
