Back in 1928 after Bryn Mawr

fight to best the series with those

trounced the Bryn Mawrites for th e

Brynwood Manor Pool

Temporarily Closed

The project of the Brynwood Manor

Swimming Pool. Montgomery Avenue,

Narherth, h as b ee n abandoned by the

Bryn Mawr Trus t Company, agent for

the owners of the property. This de

cision was cOlllmunicated to Burgess

Henry A. Frye by a representative of

the Trust Company.

A spe ci al mee ti ng o f the Narberth

Board of Health was held las t Thurs

day evening , July 10, at which t ime a

rcport from a bacterio logist showed

that the water in the poo l d id n ot mee t

the standards s ~ for tl l' hy ' th e Ameri

can Health Associatipn.

Thereupon the Board of II eal th st ip

ulated that f u ~ t h e r use of the pool

would depend on meeting certain re

quiremen ts. These were the installa

tion of a bath house with showcrs and

toilet faci l it ies , jl rovisions for the puri

fication of t h water and the construc

tion of a boa rd walk around t he e dg e

of the pool.

"The, cost of such improvements

could no t he justi fied ' by the Bryn

Mawr Trust Company ' and in addition

the horough refused , t o grant a build

ing permit 'for a' bathhouse.'

Suggestions from borough residents

to the Burgess that t he b orou gh t ak e

over and operate th e pool met, with

the same arguments; too great an

operating cost and the fact that thepool would still constitute' a nui§ance

to the neighhors.

Dogs again figured prominently in

the police report fo r June presented

a t Narber th Borough Council on Mon

day night. One complaint wa s mad e

about dogs i n genera l a t a certain ad

dress wit hout a ny el ab or ati on a s to

their offenses. Another complaint was

lodged against a particular dog, who,

it seems, barks all night, and furthermisbehaves by chasing passe rsby .

A great diversity of complain ts were

received by the police. Boys w er e r e

por ted b reaking into the Tennis Club

and des troy ing prope rty; a summons

was s er ve d on a res iden t for keeping

chickens and dogs in his garage; a

dead was not s tated) were s to len f rom

a car p arked i n t he b us in es s d is tr ic t;

a typewriter was stolen from a parked

car on Merion Avenue.

Gunplay also f igured in the month 's

report. "O n June 28," the report runs,

"a t 11 :42 t he A rdmore police station

received a call that there was a man

at th e Narberth Fire House who had

been shot in the foot." The managerof a cha in store was merely exterminat

in g rats wit h the assis tance of a .22

rifle. One of his shots went through

a door an d hit a boy named O 'Kee fe .

Th e manager a nd two clerks were ar

rested but later d ischarged, mak ing

settlement with t he i nj ur ed b oy 's par

Boys with ai r r if le s, a c it izen re

ported, were amusing themselves

shooting at the street l ight s on Shi rl ey

Road. How good their aim was the

report does no t sta te, but t he a ir rifles

are now at the Ardmore police station.

hold in his own person such sentiments

one borough resident overdid ,the mat

was r epor ted on Williams Avenue by

the Lower Merion force.

A matron on Wynnedale Road re

ported that her front door had been

I in the league.

I In view of the recent conullendable

Igame which these boys pu t up on the

IFo urt h o f July when they forced the

boroughites into a deadlock for the

Ichampionship of the first half, there

! \vas expected a c lo se r game than was

I exhihited at that field on Sat ur da y.

The npset in this contest was not be

cause of Narberth's victory over the

foemen, for those mona rchs of t he d ia

mond arc n ev er d own until the final

out h as b een registered , but it was asurprise to see the Davismen run away

. ~ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ~ l I w i t h t he t it le w it h such ease.I \Valter Masters was elected to serve

in the hox and perhaps ''Vatter was

! joyful in receiving the nomination, for

ithe col lege star was out to vindicate

Ihimself against the Berwyn club, who

pnmmeled him at will in the previous

gamc of the Fo urth of Ju ly classic,

when they pecked at him f or e leven

hits. \Valter was mor e o f what Connie

1\1 ack may expec t of him next yea r in

brushing aside Berwyn in this con

quest . f or the University of Pennsyl

vania grenadier of speed held the rival

nine in the palm of his hand, deal ing

them th e smal les t n umhe r o f hits he

has c ve r allowe d whi le in Narherth

uniform.The Doyle hoys were unahle to solve

has cabalistic offerings, for dur ing the

first three innings the)' could not score

a hit or a run, and in the fourth Doyle

and Trost gathered one hit apiece, but

which bingles proved unprolific due to

\Valter's close-fisted contributions.

Again in the s ix th Shank tabbed a sin

fo r t he third foreign hit, but t he punch

was s ti ll possessed hy a ghost ly le th

argy a nd again t hey f ai led to score.

Finally, in t he e ighth s tanza, Berwyn

achieved t he ir g re at es t a tt ai nmen t o f

this game, and possibly o f t he y ea r,

when they averted a shut-out setback

by sending in two runs off as many

licks.Narherth, in their turn at bat in nine

innings, assemhled no less than thir

teen hits to keep up to the present

standards of hitting. Only f our men

were left on t he b ag s at the end of

'I the con te st , whi ch fea t relates a storv

of its own in delineat ing the exploit s, .. . 1 that le ad to this top-heavy victory.

I There have heen many reputahle

Ipitchers to face the Narberth Club this

y ea r who at one time or another have

I t ha n t ha t, h av e been extreme favorites
