lead that looks dangerous forf the other
clubs, but with a few more games to wear
off the rough edges the Unions and Tyees
will give the Tigers' tails a twist that
will make their percentage column look
sick. The Black Cats have strengthened
their team with a few ex-stars and will
be heard from before the season is over
with.
In the Junior League the Seattle and
Tigers are even, winning two games

fighting it out for third place. ; Joe Bit
ties is managing the Seattle team and
we notice that he has a winning crew.

His Christian life left its impression on
students and school attaches and even
in the town itself, where he was univer
sally loved and respected.- When he
relinquished his ' duties, at this great
school it was a source of . regret to "all
who knew him and of his great work.
