His statements are based on the fact that Michigan's athletic reputation has spread so far that requests are coming from all over the country from minor schools offering comfortable positions to Michigan graduates who can teach athletics along with little mite of book learning" Says Mir. Fitzpatrick: There is not . year when we do not have eight or ten more requests for teachers who can give instruction of this kind than we can supply. This is some. thing that the majority of students who are fitting themselves for teachers seem to have overlooked. and we get many letters from former students who are engaged in teaching asking us for in- formation as to how to give this sort of instruction. A Michigan man does not necessarily have to be star athlete to
 fill . position of this kind There are many advantages in being able to give athletic instruction. Among other things. . teacher cans often command S400 to $500 more year in salary" This is not the first time that Michigan's athletes have been in demand for posi- tions paying better than the average col Ieee man receives. Merely to get on the Michigan football team is worth on an average S1.00e for three months. To make the alI-vestern on .

MOONLIGHTs ARE SPEEDY.

The strong Moonlight Consolidated team took a game from the AcOrns yes terday at the Riverside park grounds and proved to the crowd of people pres ent that this team is corking good one. The Acorns had a fast team in the field, and while the score was not as close as could be wished. yet the game was a most interesting one. The Acorns were strengthened by the addi- tion of several players, but the Moon- lights had the game well in hand throughout. The Moonlights are going out after the scalps of some of the leading amateur teams in the state this year and to that end have made arrangements to play the strong Dublin team in Neriden on April 9. The line up of the NOonlights was as follows:
 Jack Spellman. C: Young CarmOdy. D: Joe BagIey. 1b; Phil Smith of An sonia. 20: Shove. 3b: McNellis. ss: l.. Henebery. If: Dick Sheehan. If: John Cunningham. cf. Manager Edward V.

crept along, apparently in defiance oH the wind, until it seemed thar he must succeed. Then there came a moment of suspense. McCann paused and drew his lantern from beneath his coat. Al he did so redoubled blast swept up tho gulch and caught him fairly. There wan a momentary struggle, then the gale whipped the outlaw into it's grasp and shriekingly threw him ten feet above the trestle. <
 AS he arose in the arms of the gale, McCann swung his red light once and then disappeared, engulfed in the storm and the swirling waters below. Owing to the fact that enginemen had been warned to always keep a sharp lookout upon approaching Dale creek trestle, Dan Mahoney. in charge of the Over land that night, caught the flash of tho red light as it was swung by the hand of the dying bandit. The next morning the searching party found the mangled remains of Red" McCann upon the rocks far down Lone Tree gulch, where the subsiding waters had left them. In a pocket of his coat was the letter from home. In the letter was the followink line:
 My Darling Son:-Although your sins have caused you to be summed by all and prescribed by the law, your heart-broken mother knows that some day you will redeem your past and your. self" E.

WRESTLING.
JENKINS AND
 THE LION
Match and Terms Agreed
 Upon-Spehato Meet Pick- eta New Local Wrest.
 Ter Issues . Challenge.

At a meeting in the New York thea ter building Saturday afternoon it was decided that Tom Jenkins is to be the first opponent of George Hacken- schmidt, the Russian Lion," Articles of agreement calling for contest, best two in three falls were signed by c. 5. Cochran, representing Hacken- schmidt and Harry Pollok for Jenkins, the style selected being catch-as-catch- can. The bout is to be held no later than May 6, and in all probability ill Madison Square Garden.
 There was little deliberation over the terms, the Hackenschpidt side yield ing many concessions. Hacken- schmidt was present and made several suggestions.
 In this bout the strangle hold is bar red, although the Russian was satisfied to have 1t go. The various promoters in town are to have an opportunity to secure the exhibition and the strug- gle is to go to the highest bidder, who must have his proposals on hand by April 15. The bids must be for warded to Cochran at the latters of- flee in the New York theater building. NO dIttuIlOu VIII Dt pdlu tO uy-Uy- night offers. Each contestant must deposit $1,OO0 in cash as a forfeit to reimburse the wrestler who is on hand prepared to carry. out his part of the agreement.
 There was a brief discussion relative to the choosing of the referee. Pollok though it would be better to name him at once, but Cochran said that he should be selected at least ten days be- fore the bout. Hackenschmidt pro- posed Hughey Leonard, as he thought he was the best man to fill the office.
 Pin falls only are to count. If either man falls out of the ring and is able to continue he must come back on the mat and resume. Only when Ole man is disabled and when he has been thrown the requisite number of times will the match be considered at an end. There will be a fifteen minute rest between each fall.
 Hackenschmidt will start training for the match about the latter part of the week. He has received an invita-. tion to visit Travers Island and do his work there. He will visit the place to-day, and if it suits him he may train there.

ally new railroad over the moun- tains, but the expense, more than $30,000,00O according to estimates, was enough to stagger even the most progressive railroad management six years ago. Both Mir Burt and his chief engineer, however, knew that Edward H. Hartman would not stop at expense provided the ultimate and com mensurate good of the property could be foretold with reasonable certainty.
 When the matter was wavering in the balance along came the awful night of December 23, when the storm giants of the Rockies seemed to have united to produce widespread and tremendous chaos. Such night the oldest moun- tain railroader had never before eXpe- rienced and for AS hours trains crept along at snail's pace, bereft of the friendly aid of the dispatcher It was when the chaos-producing revel of tho elements was at its height that the Overland limited" ran sheer to the brink of the Dale creek chasm and then stood there as if uncertain whether it were best to take the plunge of more than 1000 feet to the swollen river and the serrated rocks below
 The next day President Burt de- clared that the Dale creek trestle must go, whatever the cost, and go it did, de- pite the fact that it took more than $3,000000 of the company's surplus rev. enues to construct the new line around it. The story of that night and of the all most miraculous escape of the limited has few parallels even in the history of hazardous mountain railroading. Dale creek, usually an inoffensive streamlet, wends its way through the Lone Tree gulch, which is at the very summit of Sherman pass, more than 5000 feet above sea level. It was almost impossible to fill it, so the company constructed a wooden, and later steel, trestle, span ming its yawning depths. The trestle was within few hundred feel of the Natural Fort near the summit of the pass. This fort was well named, for it resembles the miniature crater of an eX- Anct volcano. Here and there its sides are perforated with natural portholes, and around about it is a sheer descent of anywhere between 100 and 1000 feet. We'll provisioned, within it's walls few could easily defend themselves against an army. And this is just what band of noted bandits once did in tn Natural Fort. Driven to bay by Wyoming posse, four bandits held this fort for nearly a month, until starved into sur render.
 Picturesque in its surroundings, Dale creek trestle was also in the midst of legendary lore and of early frontier his- tory. Less than half-mile west was Tie Siding, with the reputation of being the toughest town in Wyoming, which was the end of the limit as to reputation in those days. Tie Siding was just what it's name implied-the place where the ties and other railroad supplies for con- struction and renewal were dumped for use. Nesting in the side of the noun tain pass, Tie Siding was as forlorn- looking collection of board shanties as one would care to see. It had it's attrac- tions, however. for those excommuni- cated by the law and hunted by the au- thorities.
 This fact undoubtedly accounted for the presence of Red" McCann, who had

Jersey City,. April 1O.-Opportune batting, fielding misplays by Jersey City and the inability of the latter to hit Putnam and Newton were the main factors in Saturdays game with the New York Americans. Joe Yeager was ill batting mood, with two doubles and single. He played third base ln- stead of Conroy, who stopped off at Camden to see his family. Duff was in centre field, as Anderson missed the train in Washington on the way north and was left there. Chase's smooth first base play was generally admired, and the verdict regarding the Califor- nia youngster was the same as in the south, that he is player of rare promise.

urge upon the legislature the passage
Of an act providing for county school
districts of the first class. placing these
upon the same basis of administration

class. Each district is to be presided
over by a board of five directors or
trustees, who VIII have authority to
