The privilege to govern their chil>

no one an injury and may do some

To successfully govern a school,
obedience must be exacted. Some
teachers are fortunate in the manner

ars are inherently lazy, and when
teachers demand labor and studious
attention to work, these students
rebel, enlist sympathy from parents

teacher, which ends in the scholar

to Minneapolis, will be closed to-day be-
fore Hickey leaves for st. Joseph. Mr..
Hickey will go to st. Joseph tonight and
then to Chicago to close up the Omaha
franchise. Wilmot will have the park
and privileges controlled by Beall In Min
eapolis last year. Omaha is the only town
i'm the league where the association Will
be obliged to locate a new park. The
tight between the association and the West
ern League, Hickey says, will be con-
fined to Kansas City and Omaha. He says
the money is ready in Omaha and that a
park which will be practically down town
can be secured. Tebeau has the old park
in Kansas City.
Quinn and Havenor have the Milwaukee
franchise and the American League
grounds. The Columbus franchise is held
by T. c. Bryce, and he with Strobel. of
ey says, is ready to open the 40 game
schedule Of the coming season.
Before leaving for his home in st. Jo-
seph. Mo-, tonight, President Hickey made
announcement that Walter Wilmot had
been awarded the Minneapolis franchise.
He also said that unless objection was
raised he would issue a call for the new
association to be held in Kansas City on
Monday, Dec: so.

YIN. ca. FOOTBALL TEAM
ONE MAY BE ORGANIZED TO PLAY
NEXT SEASON.
Association Has a Host of Gridiron
Talent, Including Sutphen, of Yale,
and Ellis, of Amherst.

With the mercury lowering around the
zero mark it may be just a little inapropos
to talk of football for next season. but
during the past week members of the Y.
NJ. c.. A. nave freely discussed placing a
team on the gridiron next fall. There is
a host OF football material in the local Y.
M. c. A. and if a team were organized It
is quite probable that it would be one Of
the strongest in the State. The chief OBJ
stacle in organizing a team would be Sc
curing time for practice as nearly all Of
the players proposed are engaged in bus
mess and it would be nearly impossible
for them to devote much attention to prac-
tice.
Should such a team be organized it is
hoped to place Newly oval in condition
for night games. The Y. NJ. c. A. team
could secure games with part of the col
leges and with semi-professional elevens.
Some of the most prominent players con-
nected with the Y. NJ. c. A. nave dis
tinguished themselves in past years on the
gridiron and it would be but little trouble
10 get an eleven together that would be
very formidable. utphen. formerly a Yale
guard, is spoken of in connection with
one of the positions on the Y. NJ. G. A.
team. Ellis, of Amherst. would probably
be one of the tackles. Some of the other
players are Gavin. who played tackle here;

sidered.

If You Must Fight

They had been talking about fighting.
and about the danger OF striking the enemy
in the mouth with ones fist. This hand
which you see bandaged has taught me a
lesson, said one of the group. Never hit
a man in the mouth. The best you can
do is to knock out a few teeth. The chances
arc that you will not enjoy the distinction
OF knocking the adversary down. Nine
men out of ten who are struck in the
mouth suffer no serious consequences. But
the fellow who does the striking is likely
TO nave a world OF trouble. Here Is nv
case, for instance. l whipped three men. I

ton. and. after all. there seems TO be some

of this belief is probably broader than the

WATKINS SIGNS KELLUM
WELL REMEMBERED HERE FOR HIS
PITCHING IN 1900.
Brown, Claimed by Omaha. Previously
Signed an indianapolis Contract
WiImot Now a

Manager Watkins announced last evening
that he has signed w. A. Kellum as a
member of the pitching staff for Indian
in this city for his good work with the
Hoosiers in 1900. Last season Kellum
pitched for New Orleans in the Southern
League until he was taken sick and forced
to retire from the game for the remainder
of the season. He pitched eighteen games
for New Orleans and won sixteen of them.
Kellum will be welcomed back to Indian
apolis and he should repeat his former
records here.
Manager Watkins was unable to under
stand a report made yesterday in a Gin
cinnati paper that Mordecai Brown. of
Terre Haute, had signed to play with the
Omaha Western League team. Watkins
says he signed Brown to play for In
~dianapolis some time ago and has his
signed contract in his safe along with
thirteen others. Brown was probably the
best pitcher in the Three 1 League last
season and helped to win the pennant for
Terre Haute. 1t is claimed that Rourke
will pay $500 for his release. If that be
true it seems as if the. Terre Haute club
had persuaded Brown to jump his con-
tract with Indianapolis and go to Omaha
in order that the Terre Haute club would
receive something for his release. Brown
is beginning early as a contract jumper.
If he insists upon going to Omaha he will
no doubt find that his error will be a cost
~ one. For a pitcher just gaining a little
prominence to jump a contract is about
the worst thing he can do and will prove
his undoing.
John T. Brush is still unwilling to discuss
baseball. AS stated before he is evidently
awaiting the final outcome OF the injunc-
ton secured by Freedman against Spald-
ing. He would not discuss the action of
Spalding in willingly turning over the Ma
tional League ocume which he seized
in New York during the recent meeting.
Spalding was no doubt advised by his at
torneys to relinquish the documents, believ-
ing that it would be easier for him to call
another meeting of the National League
and have himself elected president by a
majority of the club owners.
President Barney Dreyfus, of the Pitts
burg club, says there is no chance for the
Spalding faction losing in the courts. All
the court can do, he says, is to order
that the election go on again. Dreyfus
declared that Mel Young was much to
blame for the mix-up, and his retirement
from League circles was sure to happen.

President Whitfield, of the Western
League gave out a statement in Kansas
City the latter part OF last week that lac
closed a deal for the lease of the Milwaukee
ball park while in the latter city. Milwau-
kee papers differ with him and say that lit
tie cTedence is given the report in that city.
He is even accused of trying 10 ascertain if
there is a possibility of a compromise with
the men who are at the head of the Amer
lean Association club in Milwaukee. The
Milwaukee Free Press says that the follow
ers OF the game in that city would not
stand for a poorer grade of ball than will
be furnished by the magnates of the Amer
lean Association, and the only way that
President Whitfield could put a club in that
city that would outdraw the higher salaried
players of the American Association would
be to have a foregone-conclusion pennant
winner, and hat the other clubs in the
Western League would not stand for.

Shortridge High School will play Craw-

team. TIL five has been organized for two
or three years, and the men have benefit
ed from playing together so long. The
game between NJ. t. II. S. and Wabash
will be a stubbornly fought contest. as
Wabash is anxious TO even the defeat by
NJ. T. H. S. on the gridiron last fall.
The Shortridge team is endeavoring to ar

also with the Danville CID High School
team. The latter five was the only one that
defeated Charlottesville High School last
year.
