TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The work of the Caddo Parish Teachers
Association was brought to a close Sat-
urday when the city and country teach
ers met in joint session at the Central
high school and enjoyed a social COM
mingling as we'll as an excellent literary
program. At II o'clock the Central high
school was open to receive the guests
who were arriving by train and private
conveyances, and the faculte! of the
city schools were present to welcome
them.
Before the opening of the literary pro-
gram an invitation was extended by
Prof. Byrd to repair to the industrial
building, where luncheon would be serv-
ed. The long tables used by the boys in
their daily work were spread with snowy
dan,ask and delicious menu. Flowers
were not lacking to add beauty and fra
GRANGE to the repast. Vases of daisies
with sprays Of ferns, roses and gerani-
ums all gathered from the school gar
den at the Central high school gave the
necessary finishing touch to the hospit-
able board Grace was said by DR..
Boggs and then for an hour the hum of
conversation and click of the knife and
fork held sway
At o'clock all REARED to the central
school building where the program as
was carried out In the abb
sence Of Judge Pugh, who had been in
vited to make the opening address but
was unavoidably detained in New Or
leans, Superintendent Moncure spoke,

school work as mapped out and the re-
of attendance The remain
der OF the program was as follows:
Fundamentals-Miss Stewart.
The Barefoot Boy-A1iss Phillips.
Jean Mitchells School-Miss Harris
The Science of Study--Prof. Byrd.
The great treat of the program was
an address by Senator T. C. Barrett. He
spoke of the greatness of the South, the
Importance Our growing city, the re-
'ponsibility of the teacher. While ai-
hitting that the teachers as a class are
not paid enough, he gave no solution to
he problem, How shall they be paid
nore?' Mr.. Barrel does not know

EAT UP VIRGINIANS
A. & NJ. Defeats Wash
ington and Lee rs to 8
The Cadets Kept Trying to Help The
Visitors Until Finally An I'm
tried Pitcher Was Used
Against virqinians.

With a ball game ending with
score Of &c to there is a job ahead
of the newspaper writer who sets
down to pencil at it. There is like
wise more than enough for the reader.
This was the score in the game yes
terday which the A. and M. College
team won from the team of the Wash
ington and Lee University, which
came all the way from Virginia to get
an unmerciful drubbing. 1t was a
smuggling match in which the A. and
MS were the sluggers, the visitors
not being in it even as town ball
players.
Seeing that they had their men
down the A. and NJ boys did not want
to stamp on them, SO after two in
nings Laval. who was pitching was
withdrawn from the box and Heath
put in. The score grew so large for
A. and M. that the boys took any old
chance and went Sc far in the ninth
inning as to put Temple in the box,
Temple being an unknown quality as
pitcher and this being his first APP
pearance. Yet even then the Vlr-
ginians failed to score.
The Washington and Lee men came
to Raleigh with a big reputation as
ball players, but in these diggings it
has swrunk and fallen to zero. The
men saw It themselves and one of
them towards the shank of the game
with a mounful face and tears in his
voice looked over at the bleachers and
said: Look at those girls wearing
our colors. If | were them | would
take them off At the first of the
game they were optimistic even with
the score against them, saying: ooh,
We'll catch up but their spirits
shrank as the A. and M. score grew
and finally they were joyous in their
misery, declining to be skeletons at
the ~ and M. feast.
a. and M. put UP good game of
ball. The visitors were held down to
four hits against nineteen for the A.
and NJ. The cadets made doubles and
three baggers and home runs They
swatted the ball, they walked, and
they ran with the daring that comes
from certain victory. 1t was a happy
time for them, but the Virginians had
dark brown feeling. Never have
we been in a game like this" the men
would mutter as one, two, three, their
men fell by the waysde, while the A..
and M. score grew by skies and sevenA
in the innings as they came and went
In the first inning A. and M. scored
four runs, the Virginans nothing.
Bowen for A. and M. led off, the bat
ted ball bounding over the pitcher and
to second who overthrow first, Bowen
going to second. Asbury sent little
bunt to third and beat it to first.
Hadley hit in centre, the ball kept on
going while Bowen and Asbury scored.
Knox famed and esthridge planted
a three Dagger in right gully while
| Hadley scored. Laval hit infield to-
wards left field and in a tumble be-
tween the third baseman and short
made first while third failed to catch
Eskridge, who scored. Drake singled
| in right and Harris walked. With the
bases full baltimore famed and when
Bowen batted Harris was caught at
second. In it's half Washington and
Lee failed, LeGore dying, third to
first, Alexander to first and Bagley
