They meet the tailenders for three

The tour Of the Washington team 20
foreign parts just ended can hardly be
called a successful sally In fact, the
team went away from here on the 9th
Of September with a percentage OF .sS7.
This was not so high as IL might have
been, nevertheless Il was better than
the present s55. with which the team
has returned. The team lost about
three-foUrths Of tine games which have
been played on the trip.
With Chicago. ST. Louis. ana New
York the Nationals put up something
OF d fight. but IN Detroit. Cleveland. and
Philadelphia they got all that was com
ing 70 them and some more.
Il S. interesting 10 note just at this

cation. requesting that body 10 rescind
it's former action and reinstate Mrs. An
ma J. Cooper. as principal Of the N

the object OF the meeting, and said that
nothing should be left undone 70 attain
the desired end. He introduced the Rev,
DIR. Corrothers. who discussed school af-
fairs at length. He asserted that the
