He appreciotes a good play no matter who mokes it.
He knows that the school gets the blome or the praise for his conduct. He recognizes the need for more
sportsmen and fewer "Sports."

A Victory for Team Work
Frank Akers five hit pitching was backed by the entire Bishop nine in defeating Woodberry 9-2 April 24th on Langhorne field.
The Woodberry Tigers took an early 2-0 lead after 20 innings. But the Bishops come back fighting to sew up the game with five runs in their half of the third.
Shannon Shirley started the big in- ning by gaining first by means of the error route. A single by Frank Akers and an error by Hanes put both Akers and Shirle'/ in scoring position. Infield singles by Rinker, Ogden, and Gower tied the score at two all and set the stage for Verne Dawson's three-run double.
