Thurlow Mock was second with a total of 320 pounds. Charles had a lit'tle bad luck; as it started to train when his turn same. He also husked in the county contest, but the report of the winner is not in yet, although he says he’s certain he didn’t come any place near the top. “Shirt Sleeves,” a domestic comedy, has been selected as the senior class play. The title is a suggestion of the plot, which is based on the old saying that is 4 three generations from “shirt sleeves” to "shirt sleeves.” The play provides parts for nine boys and nine girls. The date has not been definitely set. It was necessary to change the date previously set because of failure to secure the play first selected. The cast will be announced in the next issue. Claypool Wins Championship. While “Slim Becker, Claypool pitcher, was ably retiring Syracuse batsmen in the game beetwcn those two teams last Saturday, the game which decided the softball championship of the county, his team mates were getting their hits In groups and taking advantage of Syracuse misplays. Result: Claypool became county softball champions by defeating Syracuse 4 to 2 at Pierceton. Syracuse gave the worst exhibition at the plate I have ever seen. Although they got two runs, their six hits were distributed among 4 players, Byrket, O’Haver, Plank and Beck. When somebody did get on base, he couldn’t be brought, around. Twice*there was a man on second with no one out; then the next 3 batters popped out. Your a reporter has never seen so many pop ups in his life. Syracuse made only three outs in the whole game on ground balls. Byrket gave nine hits, seven singles, a double and a homer. Beck and Stoelting letting a pop The team’s fielding was marred ov up drop between them for a hit. As you know, Saturday’s game ended the 1939 softball season. It’s too bad that Syracuse having come so close to winning its first softball championship, let all of their fine playing go to waste. Ob, well, they can always try again. Now that softball is over, the boys are beginning basketball practice for the season’s opener, November 3rd, with Cromwell. There are 25 out for the two teams, five seniors, 5 juniors, 7 sophomores and 8 freshmen. Season tickets will be on sale soon by the players so why not buy one and give the team a little support?
