JL PAGE SIX PLATTSMOTJTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOUUNAI MONDAY, JULY 9, 1923. 2 1 V ,1 SUPERINTENDENT AND SCHOOL SYS TEM HONORED George E. De Wolf of This City, Su perintendent of Schools, Ranks High as Educator. The Plattsmouth public schools have ranked as among the best in the state and the patrons have felt in tliH last few years that they were fortunate in having at the head as ab'e an executive as George E. De "Wolf, the pro-rt superintendent and that Mr. DeWolf ia an educator of repute and high standing was shown a few weeks ago. The superintendent was among fifty prominent school men called up on by the board of education of Mt. Claire. New Jersey, a, city of 30,000 people, as a prospective candidate for the position of superintendent of the public schools of that city. Mt. Claire has a teaching force of 230 teachers and is one of the most im portant educational centers in the towns near New ork and the con sideration given the applicants for the siiperintenderey was the most rigid. In response to the reriucst of the! board of education Mr. Deuolf visit ed that city when the list had been eliminated down to six men and who wc-rrt rn'ictfwl to n"ucf nprs;nnfll an- GOLFERS ARE BUSY The call of these fine sumraer mornings find the members of the Plattsmouth Golf club out bright and early and motoring out to the course at the Luke Wiles farm. The local followers of the 'game are be coming real enthusiasts and there is nothing that pleases them better than to arise early in the morning and hasten out for a round over the links before tho breakfast hour, and this continued playing is developing some very good scores among those who wfre but a few weeks ago whol ly unacquainted with the game. The ladies, too, are becoming af fected with the golf bug and a num ber have been out practicing and lowers of the snort as their hus band3 and brothers and so far they have showed some pleasing scores for the lime that they Lave been inter ested in the game. HAS ACCOUNT OF , SUNDAY'S GAME Afton Paper Says Both Teams Played Air-Tight Ball Excepting tor Our Bobble in Ninth. The Tigers have another victory to their credit, when they won over tne fast Plattsmouth team, with a 1 to 0 score. It was one of the fastest and best games that we have played this season. ' The credit for winning the game can be given to Barney Zahller, pitch er fnr th Tiarers. for he was compel- from the interest they arc ta?ngi tn out of a bad hole on sever- they will develop into as great a fol-aj occasions. which he- did by superb pitching. But it was a ball game. Each team was playing all the time to win. The Tigers were pounding the Plattsmouth pitcher, but the ex cellent fielding saved the game for them. In the seventh inning they put McCarty, second baseman in the box, he changing places with Conner. But Plattsmouth has a real ball team. This is the second time they have been defeated this season, and they have no reason to regret this defeat, for they played a real ball game. It wasn't anybody's game un til the finish. A three base hit by T . . .'Frank Zahller, followed by a single Sentiment of Commissioners is That Dy h zahller brought in the score Mattpr -is Not For Their Judsr- in the last half of the ninth.
