Reinhart Spends Time
On Pitchers in Practice'
Injuries Affect Throwing
Ability of Flingers
,rf''lOACH Billy Reinhart, 14 var
sitv baseball players and Har
old Brumfield, manager, leave to
night at 7:15 for Seattle where the
Lemon-Yellow meets the University
of Washington Huskies in a two
game series, Friday and Saturday.
The Puget Sou^d games mark the
varsity's second conference series.
Last night’s practice consisted
mainly of trying out pitchers. Rein
hart had fiinger after flinger on the
mound, each heaving to the varsity
swingers. Bill Baker is the only
pitcher who has shown much stuff to
date. Freddy West, who Reinhart
figured quite extensively on at the
beginning of the season, is suffering
from an infected shoulder muscle.
He is making the trip and should
the shoulder respond to treatment
by that time, the little right hander
will start Saturday’s fracas.
Search for Hurler
Jerry Gunther, the latest try in
the box, will accompany the team
north. Gunther worked out last
night, but has been taking it too
■strenuously the past few days, and
is bothered with a sore elbow. Dave
Epps is also a new comer on the
mound, and according to Reinhart
last night, the big left fielder may
get a chance to perform on the hil
lock. Epps has quite an assortment
of curves, but has had little chuck
ing experience.
For southpaw hurling, Reinhart
will depend on Lefty Macdonald
and Art Schoeni. Macdonald worked
in several of the pre-conference
games, but is troubled with a lack
of control. Schoeni has done little
throwing thus far, as an injured
back has kept him from the mound.
In case West’s shoulder is not im
proved Schoeni will start the sec
ond game.
Baker to Start
Bill Baker will assume the pitch
ing burden in Friday’s game and
should make it interesting for the
northerners. Baker scored a win

Planned by Scientists
For April 30 and May 1
An excursion to Newport under
the auspices of the departments of
geology and biology for members
of the faculty and student body'
who may be interested is planned
for April 30 and May 1. A special
train will be chartered for the ex

going..
The biological phase of the ex
cursion will occupy the morning
hours of May I from 6 to 8:30 and
the geological, the rest of the day.
Outlines will be given out on the
train so that those who are going
for the educational phase will know
the purpose of the trip. Geology
students will be given outlines, and
the biology students, a biological
check list of animals which they
are expected to see some time dur
ing the excursion. Biology students
will study especially the marine
fauna on the reefs near the light
house.
The train will leave the campus
at 1 o’clock Saturday, and will
leave Newport at 5, Sunday, arriv
ing on the campus at 10 o’clock.
Round trip tickets are $4.00; any
one wishing to go will kindly notify
Dr. E. L. Packard, professor of
geology, or Dr. A. R. Moore, head
of the department of zoology.
Voters Set Record
At Polls Yesterday
WHETHER it was the heat
ed discussion Ihat this year
preceded election on account of
the proposed amendment con
cerning the Emerald editorship,
or whether it was the sudden
change from June weather to
April showers, the largest vote
recorded in Emerald files was
yesterday cast at the University
polls.
Of 3054 students enrolled, 1740
this year cast votes for the pres
idency. In 1920, 1186 were en
tered for this office, ,Carlton

tentate with a total of 1025
votes cast, a slight decline from
the 1920 record.
John MacGregor in 1922 took
office after 1241 votes had been
thrown into the box. With a
total of 1450, Randall Jones in
1924 received the title of pres
ident, and Walter Malcolm be
came head after 1536 marks had
been made on the ballot for
president in 1926. For Hugh
Biggs and his opponent, James
Johnson, 1556 votes were cast.
S. S. Smith’s New
Book on Comedy
Now Completed
Ten Chapters Devoted
To Study of Social
Idea in Comedy
“As for the English comedy, it is
furtherest from my intent to deny
it an independent life, gay, viva
cious, full of caprice, and follow
ing its own bent apart from all his
tory outside its own. But I want
here to find out how far, since 1860,
it has been like the play going on
upon the ‘Great Stage of the
World,’ as Calderon called his best
morality,” says S. Stephenson
Smith, assistant professor of Eng
lish, in his recently-completed book,
“The Social Idea in Comedy, 1860
to 1920.”
“As sixteenth century comedy
came from the tavern and the uni
versity, restoration- comedy from
the court and the boudoir, eigh
teenth century comedy from the
drawing-room and the country
house; so the Victorian comedy
emerged from the clubs, to be
promptly impounded by the ladies,
and endowed with the proprieties,
the etiquette, and the decorous ro
manticism of the tea-table. Against
this influence, slightly dampening to
the spirits of high comedy, the writ
ers were to struggle in vain, even
when they adopted French farce;
until in the late nineties Thalia
was shown into still stranger com
pany by George Bernard Shaw,”
the author explains.
One of the ten chapters is de
voted to Shaw, in which he is com
pared to Don Quixote, with Sidney
Webb for his Sancho Panza. “And
he has not slashed at the winesacks,
fought with Biscayan monks such
as Max Nordau the pessimist and

Dr. Smith to Relate
Philippine Experiences
An illustrated lecture on Spanish
influence in the Philippines will be
given by Dr. Warren D. Smith of
the geology department at 7:30 to
night in Condon hall before Sigma
Delta Pi, honorary Spanish club.
It is open to the public.
The lecture will be in the form of
a travelogue, combed from the ex
periences and observations of Dr.
Smith during 12 years of explora
tion on the islands when he pene
trated the interior of the large is
j lands from Formosa to Borneo. He
was the first white man to conduct
j a scientific expedition across the
| island of Mindanao and one of the
| first jnen to cross the island. Part
! of the way the men had to bore a
' tunnel through a jungle so dense
, that they were unable to ascertain
I the direction of the sun.
