teachers will report, however, but
the exact number who will be detained at home cannot be forecasted
with any degree of accuracy by the
school authorities.
Some of the teachers and pupils
are still suffering from the epidemic.

The third officer of the detachment
was Captain William F. Nierstadt of

the Ninth Depot battalion of the eigna1 corps and has been sent home to

S. 0. Hartwell, superintendent of
schools, has asked that the substi tute teachers report for duty today,
in order to take up'the work of any
of the high school or grade teachers
who may not be able to resume their
duties because of sickness or other
cause, so that no halt in the resump tion of the program is anticipated.
"We will not know how many pu pils are unable to resume their work
until the schools open," Mr. Orme
said, "but we do not expect many to
feil to show up for work today. The
same applies to the teachers,"
Commissioner Wunderlich said
that thq school work would he taken

influepsa lid went on, aid th pro gram for the year will go ahead
without any change, as the lose of
time from the influenza order was
but eight days, and that may be
made up if nothing else comes up to
interfere with the school work.

Willie Hoppe, world's champion

as Alfredo D. Oro, Joe Canoannon,
Balph Greenleaf, Frank Taberski and

Hoppe went to the table against T.

Clarkion won the bank and started
with I. The champion came back
with 2. Then Clarkson missed. He
left the balls near the end rat, which
permitted Hoppe to collect 50 points
of his remarkable, cluster without
ever ventering out on the table.
At all times the position play of
Hoppe was amazing. -He deftly overcame bad llhe gps on the cushions,
used -the masse for improving position, and altogether displayed remarkable judgment as to speed. He
