Featured on the visiting team will be the first Negro player in the county league. We haven't learned the boy's name but hear he is a left-handed pitcher. Tom Bolger cracked that this m/fr southpaw will probably h|UidcWf the Shamrock left-handed batters. Jim Larkin was quick to retort:* "If our left-handers don't hit, there wop't be "any hitting." Word comes out this week that the Woodstock Alemite will not sponsor a team this year. The Woodstock Merchants were here last Sunday for a practice While they don't show m*h class, it must be remembered that they are a new team and will have to strengthen as time goes on. It is whispered around the league that Algonquin is the team to watch this year. They are adding strength to their lineup. The Tigers of Johnsburg travel to Richmond next Sunday. Last year those two teams had some r*M battles. / Somebody sent Eddie Buss, Jr., a birthday card the other day-- Postage Due! You don't think Petie Schaefer would be up to such tricks do you?

This new Green Street Bridge is a dandy, but will never be the same for the* kids. Down through the years, some kids have dtfred to walk across the top of the old stfecture. Some cars tried to climb it, too. Took a walk rvlong tike creek one Sunday recently.' Hadn't taken such a hike in years, but found it bringing back memories. There was the tramp's jungle, for instance. That was always- a thrilling sight. Most of you know the men of the road use old ketties or tin cans to do their cooking in the Jungles, then tip them over an^ leave them for the next group. Got to thinking about a time long ago when a bunch of boys decided to go in for a swim in the creek. Swimming suits were not in style. Along came a'car load of women old enough to be their grandmothers. The car stopped and the boys submerged fast. It was very amusing for the women. But, what an experience for the boys!

Medical Ttms Antiquated, Says Northwestern Dodir The science of medicine today is struggling under the handicap of antiquated terminology, says Dr. Raymond W. McNealy, associate professor of surgery at Northwestern university. Chicago. Any of the names of our common diseases are out of date, in View of the scientific data which has*, been amassed by modern clinical and laboratory research. 'Typhoid fever, for example, is a meaniiigleps term. The word typhoid 4s derived, from a word meaning 'cloudy' or *obscure,' so typhoid fever might be assumed to apply to an individual in a cloud' or in i V 4 term cancer comes from a dnd of crab-like animal that 'grabs on." Does it not seem pathetic to b» talking about crabs .and ither silly terms which mean nothamid the complicated physicochemical reactions inherent in cellular pathology, the doctor suggested. "Our purpose is to keep students nterested more in facts than iir -epgating words, verbal abstractor which in some cases date >ack to Hippocrates.

This applies to any j leld, particularly in science, where j anguage is used. i •We must overcome these anti- ' iu^fd definition barriers, and j fr, V Wf 1M LINES Hi Pop! "Maine men seldom betray their emotions, deep as their feelings may be," remarked an old newspaper man while sipping a mint Julep in tiie lounge of the National Press clyb in Washington. "One day, a few years ago, I was headed out to sea on a sloop and passed an inbound schooner. "My captain took his pipe out of his mouth long enough to say to the young man at the schooner wheel. 'How d'ye do?' / "And the youngster responded: •Nicely,' and each boat held to its course. "After an interval the captain turned to me and observed: "She's been in southern waters. That's my son. Ain't seen him for nigh onto two yesrs'." 18 TO 1 WIN OVER WOODSTOCK TEAM BOWLING NOTES The Mixed Doubles matches at the Palace, which started April 21 and will continue through May 8, are drawing a lot of interest.
