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

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.

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
