Would Life Be Worth Living if Your Sight Were Gone? IT IS WISE INDEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS So much depends upon one’s eyes that it is a very wise thing to known in what condition yours are in. Yours perhaps, may seem all right, and possibly they ARE all right, but if you are curious to know, you can form some idea of their real condition by going through a simple little examination that is alike interesting and instructive. Ask yourself if strong light hurts, or if your eyes water or ache or smart; look at some object quite steadily and see if it grows dim or blurred; notice if you squint or frown, or if letters run together when you read. If any of these things happen, there is trouble, and your eyes should be examined. If I find there is no trouble with your eyes, the examination will have cost you nothing, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing your eyes are right. If, however, there be any defect which needs correcting, I guarantee to fit you with glasses that will surely correct it. I also fill oculists’ prescriptions, no matter how complicated, and do all kinds of repairs on glasses and spectacles. J. W. PAYNE With J. M.

FISH-SENIORS LARGE CROWD WITNESSES PITCHERS’ BATTLET SCORE 3-3. One of the most interesting and ex citing events of the hike was the base ball game between two picked teams, one from the Freshman and Senior classes and the other from the Sopho more and Junior classes. To arouse enthusiasm in the game and also to reward the players for their efficient work, the Commandant promised to excuse the winning team from drill for a period of one month. Both of these teams were chosen with an impartial view of securing in winning team, and let it be said here that much p'paise is due “Cheesy” Miller and “Runt” Hanson for the good judgment they exercised in selecting the two teams. These teams were well matched in every respect and put up a very pretty exhibition of baseball, and it is very hard to say which of these teams would win if the tie was played off. Taking into consideration the condi tion of the weather and the slow, muddy diamond, the game was fast and snappy throughout. Over seven hundred* cadets and Bryan visitors viewed the game, and not a one of them came away dissatisfied with the way in which both teams showed their playing ability. The game opened up with Ellis in the box for the Junior and Sophomore team, and Young, a big six-foot Fish, twirling for the Fish and Seniors. Both of these men showed up exceedingly well, Ellis striking out seventeen men and Young striking out fifteen, each one allowing only one base on balls. Ellis had a better assortment of curves than did the big Fish, but Young had a hard straight ball which puzzled the Sopho more and Junior batters very much. The first inning was rather unevent ful as both teams were somewhat stiff from the morning’s drill, but in the first part of the second the Sopho mores and Juniors went “hog wild” apd ran in three scores before their opponents really knew what was hap pening. At this point of the game it looked as if a few Sophs and Juniors would have a pretty soft time of it in the military line during the month of May, but it was probably just this overconfidence which tied the game, for the Fish and Seniors tightened up and allowed no more runs during the entire game. In the fourth inning, Arnold drove a long fly to right field with a man on second base and, on Scott’s throw to second and Stangle’s error, scored the first run for the Senior and Fish team. Again in the sixth they managed to score two more runs on account of the loose playing of the Sophomores and Juniors, and tied the game. An other score was only prevented by El lis, who struck out the last two men. With the score tied in the sixth, the game began in earnest and lasted twelve innings without an additional score for either side. Both teams tightened up, and for the next six. in nings it was simply a pitchers’" battle to see which would weaken first. The hits were kept well scattred and, in fact, only two men reached second base during the rest of the game. This “nip and tuck” game continued until a little after 6 o’clock, at which time it was called on account of darkness. This game will probably be played over some time in the near future to decide which team shall have the privilege of being excused from drill.

Last Friday evening Professor S. J. Fountain entertained the members of the Atetier with a delightful dinner at his home The cadets were excused from retreat and attended the affair in “good old cits.” Several courses were served, many of the dainties be ing something of a novelty to the vet eran patrons of Sbisa. To say the least, every dish was a real treat to the cadets. Throughout the evening, many tales and joes were told to the tune of “That Reminds Me,” and the host took no un important part. Towards the end of the meal the conversation turned to architecture, and many important pointers and interesting facts about the subject were given by the host. Cigars were passed around and soon after the guests took their leave. Deep sympathy is felt by the corps for the recent death of President Pur- year’s father at his home in Orange Virginia. President Puryear went home to attend the funeral. He will make a visit to Washington and will attend the Conference for Education in the South at Louisville, Kentucky, before returning to College on the 14tli or 15th of the month.
