The Hershey Press 1921-05-05

              An interesting meeting of the baseball
committee, appointed by Manager Snavely
of the Men's Club, was held on Thursday
evening at the club. This committee was
created to devise means of assuring base-ball
in Hershey and its members are :
S. D. Clark, C. F. Zeigler, John Snavely,
Warren Albert , James Murray, John Sol-lenberger,
E. M. Hershey, Dr. M. L.
Hershey and E. W. Schwenk.
The first question discussed was the
organization of a 'first team.' The fiel d
was carefully gone over, available players
considered, equipment inventoried and
plans for the arrangement of a schedule
presented. Manager Snavely, of the
Men's Club, presented the resignation of
Morris Hinkle who was acting manager of
¦the team. The vacancy was filled by the
appointment of "Warren Albert to the post
and of John Mclnerney as assistant.
The committee unanimously decided to
procure new uniforms and new shoes and
instructed the new manager to proceed
immediately to the task of building a
team. In this connection a radical de-parture
from the policy of former years
will be followed out, in that all local
players will be given every possible op-portunity
of landing a berth on the team.
The plan is to avoid using ball players who
think only in terms of money and are
constantly wondering how much they 're
"going to get out of it." This team is
going to be a home town team in so far as
is possible. It may be necessary to use a
few strange players who may come here
for a summer's employment but this will
be the only exception. Therefore all
fellows who would like to represent the
home town on the diamond this year are
encouraged and urged to come out. Every
man who reports to Manager Alberts will
have an equal chance and the jobs will be
handed out to the best men.
Plans to instill a greater interest in
baseball and to arouse the Community to
a new degree of enthusiasm, were lengthily
discussed, resulting in the decision to
organize a Twilight League to be com-posed
of four teams. Four managers will
be appointed , who will submit at a meet-ing
of the committee, the names of the
players to compose their respective teams.
These lists will then be carefully gone
over and the players redistributed and
assigned to certain teams so that there may
be greater equality in the respective play-ing
power of the teams. This idea makes
for fairness and justness to all concerned
and is fundamental to the success of the
league.
Numerous ideas and suggestions were
voiced which will be definitely worked out
at the next meeting of the committee.
They are too indefinite to permit of dis-cussion
in this issue of the Press but they
contain ample promise of restoring base-ball
with a bang, of reviving interest to
a hitherto unknown degree and of putting
a genuine pep into the season now at hand.
Watch closely in next issue of 'The
Press' for the report of the next meeting
of the baseball committee. Plans will
rapidly develop and be put into active
operation. In the meantime become
interested in the subject. Talk it over
with everybody you meet and be ready to
fall in line when the right moment arrives.
Let us assemble in solid community front-not
one open file—and be prepared to
"go over the top" when the "zero hour "
arrives. Remain on the alert for forth-coming
announcements and let the slogan
be, 'Baseball for Hcrshcy^scason 1921. '
Twilight League
Will be Started
With Four Teams

LODGING FACILITIES FOR BRETH-REN
CONFERENCE
The time for the Annual Conference of
the Church of the Brethren , to be held in
Hershey this year, is drawing near and the
Lodging Committee wishes to appeal to
the people of Hershey, Palmyra and sur-rounding
country to throw open their
homes and to welcome the Brethren and
friends.
The Lodging Committee will soon have
rer resentatives canvass the entire district
with the view of ascertaining how many
visitors may be accommodated with lodg-ing.
In this connection the committee
desires to recommend that charges for
lodging be uniform as possible and suggest
a rate of fifty cents per head or one dollar
per bed. All persons who respond to this
appeal of the committee are requested to
cooperate with the committee to the ex-tent
that they wait for assignments from
the committee. By following this plan
duplications with the resultant confusion
and inconvenience will be avoided for
everybody concerned.
They also desire to request that no one
shall burden themselves with the expense
of purchasing additional beds or bedding
for the occasion, but shall offer instead
only such accommodations as are regularly
at their disposal for the entertainrnent of
guests.
The Church of the Brethren is deeply
grateful for the kindness accorded them
during previous conventions and desire
to again take the opportunity of expressing
their most sincere appreciation to the good
citizens of this section.
Anyone desiring information on thit
question may secure same by communica-ing
with A. G. Longenecker , Secretary of
Lodging Committee, 509 East Main street ,
Palmyra.
"THE COUNTRY COUSIN"
Miss Grace Sage, of New York City, a
reader of plays, appeared in Hershey or
Tuesday evening under the auspices cf
the Educational Committee of the locai
Y. W. C. A. She interpreted "The Coun-try
Cousin ," a comedy in three acts,
written and arranged by Booth Tarking-ton
and Julian Street.
It was one o( the most pleasing enter-tainments
ever presented to a Hershey
audience and it is to be very much re-gretted
that but a small audience was in
attendance. Miss Sage 's reading was
thoroughly delightful , her characters were
vividl y portrayed and her work as a whole
stamped her as an artist of genuine merit.
Miss Sage unquestionably ranks among
the best in this fascinating profession.
To listen to her realistic interpretations is
a rare privilege and a pleasure that shall
not soon be forgotten.
It is sincerely hoped Miss Sage may re-turn
to Hershey some time again. The
entertainment she afford s is of the most
enjoyable and finest type , the sort of
entertainment that is upliftin g and leads
to nobler planes of thought and life . The
Educational Committee is indeed to be
congratulated upon bringing to Hershey
MIbb Grace Sage.

BUCK JONES COMING IN PLAY
"TWO MOONS"
Buck Jones, the daring William Fox
Cowboy star , is coming to Hershey and
will be the attraction at the Park Theatre
on Tuesday, May 17, in his latest picture ,
"Two Moons. " This picture is declared
to be the most entrancing in which this
rapidly rising young Western Star has yet
appeared. Adapted from Robert Willes
Ritchie 's well known talc of the Wyoming
cattle country and the feud between the
cattlemen and the sheep herders, this
photoplay is said to give this handsome
actor and daredevil his greatest oppor-tunity
to win new friends.
Jones enacts the role of Original Bill
Blunt , a cattleman , who complicates the
bitter hatred between the cowmen and
the sheep herders by falling in love with
the wild and tempestuous daughter of a
slain sheepman. There are said to be
some brand-new thrills in the picture.
One of the moments of white hot interest
is when Original , with a mocking smile ,
dares the girl to shoot him.
A "Toonciville Trolley " Comedy, "The
Skipper 's Narrow Escape," a roaring
picture in two reels will be shown in con-nection
with "Two Moons. " If you
haven 't seen any of these newest comedies
you 've missed a regular trait.. The
"Toonervillc Trolley " series is the funniest
conception of the n\ovio world In years.
You simply must see this comedy to
realize its mirth provoking qualities.
This picture will be shown under the
auspices of the Baseball Committee and is
for the purpose of creating funds to equip
a HciHhoy first (cam. Of course, we ail
want baseball and besides wc all want to
see this great picture. Therefore when
some one asks us to purchase a ticket—m
only 315 cents—wc each will dig clown li
our "Joan s" and gladly help a good cause
along.
MISS ORAL THOMPSON HONOR
GUEST
Friday evening April 29, the gymnasium
of the Hershey Schcol was the scene of a
very happy affair in which Miss Oral
Thompson, teacher in the seventh grade
was the guest of honor. The affair was in
the nature of a birthday surprise and fare-well
party and proved most delightful in
every respect.
Games and dancing were enjoyed
throughout the evening, at the conclusion
of which , a curtain was drawn aside and
there stood a table bountifully laden with
many good things, from nature's vast
storehouse, most deliciously prepared .
Covers were placed for forty-nine. The
table was enriched in its fascination by the
use of pretty May flowers and a large
birthday cake whose icined surface re-flected
the flickering glow of many candles.
Guests present at this delightful affair
were : Miss Thompson, Prof, and Mrs.
A. M. Hinkel , Miss Davis, Miss Der-sheimer,
Mr. Shirk, Mildred M. Miller ,
Eva Tinney, Edna Leese, Catherine Miller,
Pansy Reilly, Sara Foltz, Ethel Miller,

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEETING
The Alumni Association of the Hershey
High School will hold a meeting on Tues-day
evening, May 10, at 7:30 o'clock , in
the High School auditorium. Officers for
the ensuing year will be elected and plans
for the annual banquet discussed. Each
member of the Association is urged to
make it a definite point to attend this
meeting. There was no banquet nor
election of officers last year due to the
fact that members did not show sufficient
interest to attend the meetings which were
called. A recurrence of these circum-stances
is certainly not desired this year.
It all depends however , on how many
members will attend this meeting. It is
hoped all who can arrange to do so will
come to the High School on May 10 and
help to revive interest in the activities of
the Alumni Association.

MARY

Valley College under the auspices of the
Faithfu l Workers Class of the First United
Brethren Church.
Tickets arc now on sale by members of

which will be very much enjoyed
and a capacity house is anticipated. You
will do well to secure your tickets early.

Bible Class Rally
Friday Evening
Largely Attended
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, on Fri-day
evening was filled to capacity, it being
the occasion of t he Bible Class Rally,
sponsored by Holy Trinity Bible School.
Bible classes, in body, were present from
th e First United Brethren Church, Derry
Presbyterian Church and frpm the Zion
Lutheran Church , of Hummelstown. M.
LeRoy Wuchter, who "will in June assume,
the pastoral duties of Holy Trinity, was
present and presided over the meeting.
The lecturer of the evening was the Rev.
D. Burt Smith, D. D., of Philadelphia, who
is secretary of the Parish and Church
Schools of the United Lutheran Church
and is also a member of the Editorial Staff
of The Lutheran. His subject was "A
Present View of Christian Education,"
and a more able discourse or impressive
lecture has never been heard here. Dr.
Smith is an eloquent orator who possesses
a splendid personality, who was thorough-ly
acquainted with his subject and who
speaks with an open earnestness and sin-cerity
of purpose.
It was probably a new subject to most
of his hearers or was probably presented in
a new sort of way. At any rate it may
safel y be said few who heard this interest-ing
discourse were previously aware of the
dire emergency, the serious crisis the
Church is facing today, and the all im-portant
need for immediately instituting
steps to provide adequate means for
Christian education.
By citing facts, most alarming of which
was the declaration that today in the
United States, 27,000,000 girls and boys
under the age of twenty-five are receiving
absolutely -no-Gtfristian training, by aptly
using forceful illustrations and by his sin-cere
straightforward method of talking he
drove home many vital truths concerning
the crying need for a solution of this great
problem.
The lecture was thoroughly enjoyable,
interesting and profitable. It left, un-questionably,
a profound effect upon the
entire audience which should prove es-pecially
in the lives of those connected
with the church a force and an incentive
to truer effort and a more faithful attend-ance
in the duties attached thereto.
Other numbers which were a part of the
program and which contributed towards
making the evening so delightful and
profitable were : a beautiful selection, well
rendered by Holy Trinity Choir ; several
selections by the orchestra, a reading by
Miss Kathryn Shire, of Lancaster ; and two
selections by a male quartette.
A prayer was said by Rev. H. S. Games,
pastor of the Zion Lutheran Church , Hum-melstown,
and the Benediction pronounced
by Rev. R. R. Butterwick , pastor of the
First United Brethren Church, Hershey.
SURPRISE "KITCHEN SHOWER'

was very delightfully surprised on Monday
evening when a number of friends held
for her a miscellaneous "kitchen shower."
The scene of the occasion was the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Stover, 108 Areba Ave,
The time was 8:00 o'clock. The newly-weds
were sitting quietly in an atmosphere
of domestic peace and happiness when
there was a sudden clanging oi the door
bell. 'Monty ' the 'benedict ,' announced
'frien ds to see Mrs. Stover,' who un-knowingly
and innocent of any foreboding
as to the mission of these friends, grace-fully
walked to the door . Arriving there
she was greeted with a sudden clamor of
voices, shouts of laughter and a shower of
packages. She was nonplused momen-tarily
by the suddenness and unexpected-ness
of this all but , recovering her poise,
she bid these friends enter.
Many gifts of beauty and practicable-ncss
were bestowed upon her and after
voicin g her heart y appreciation of these
gifts a round of merriment was opened.
Taffy- pulling and various other 'stunts'
were enjoyed and at a proper hour delicious
refreshments, likewise contributed by
these good friends , were served.
Partici pating in this delightfu l affair
were : Alva Bomgardncr, Daisy Brcsslcr,
Goldie Habccker , Elizabeth Ream, Ethel
Davis, Mabel Llnglo, Elizabeth Copen-havcr
