State School Notes

more state moneys 10 appor.
ton 10 the public schools this
year than last. The enumera-
ton of children will be nearly
1000 less. The per capita this
year will be about Si.37 iu-
stead Of sl.3i last year.
State superintendent Car
riugton will not be able to-
make tue superintendent of
state school moneys until
about July %, owing to the
fact that several county clerks
are derelict in making report
of school enumeration to him.
School districts may safely
count on receiving $l.37 per
capita enumeration. The
money will reach the county
treasurer early IN August.
Tho large decrease in
school population is not con.
dued ~ "A few localities. There
is "a decrease IN more than
thrcc.fourtbs Of tue counties,
mainly IN tue rural districts.
There is Il scarcity Of teach.
ers in nearly every county in
the state, due mainly u tue
low salaries paid teachers.
Nearly every kind of work
pays better than teaching aud
the best teachers are seeking
better pay. Tue uext legisla.
ture should pass Il minimum
salary law. No teacher should
be paid less than $40 IL month

should receive any Of the
public moneys unless it levied

Hammond Down and Out as
Claimant for Cham
pionship Honors.
SOME DECISIONS BUM
Local Players Give Full Credit To
Their Opponents Who
Are Fast.

Hammond was defeated by Chicago
Heights yesterday by the score of to
0 in game that it was hoped would
put them in the running for the champ
ionship of the Chicago Football League.
There is still a ghost of a show how
ever as the game may be protested.
The Chicago Heights team made its
touchdown in the first few moments OF
the first half when it's players started
some whirlwind tactics and were lucky
enough to get in some long runs that
placed them within striking distance
Of the goal.
1t was during the latter part of the
second half that Laster, one of the
Hammond players. got the ball and
made long run before he was finally
tackled and thrown on his own ten
yard line. In falling he fumbled the
ball, Farmer Smith picked it up and
ran the remaining distance for a touch.
down.
1t is claimed by the Heights team
that the whistle was blown just as
Laster fell and that the ball was dead
OF course if their contentious are right
Hammond would not be entitled to q
touchdown.
The Hammond players claim that the
ball was fumbled before the whistle
was blown and was therefore still in
play and that the touchdown should
have counted. If the referee had ruled
| thus Hammond would have tied Their
| opponents and might have kicked the
goal that would have won the game.
There was one other ruling that the
local players think was just little of
color. This happened when Halfmar
punted to Carrot who caught the bal
inside the goal line then carried it over
and was downeG in his tracks by one
4 of the Hammond. players. This should
have counted as a safety and giver
Hammond two points which would hav,
| insured a victory whether goal haC
! been kicked or not when Hammond
made its touchdown.
With these two exceptions the gam,
was a splendid one from a Hammond
Point of view and by claiming that the,
should have had a touchdown and
safety, the local players do not attemp
to discredit Chicago Heights who's
team was fast and a worthy opponent

GOtch to NrestIe in Chicago.

Plans for what is supposed to be the
best wrestling match ever seen in Chi
cago-one involving the American
championship-are rapidly being rushed
and when Frank Gotch, the champion,
and Leo Pardello, the Italian crack,
meet there should be some great sport
The management of the Brooke's
Casino club is arranging a fine list of
preliminaries to the Gotch- Pardello
match and it is likely that some of
these events will prove fully as inter-
esting as the main bout. Both men
will arrive in the city about the middle
of the week and will finish their train
ing here. They are already in good
shape, especially Pardello, who has
been working hard with a big match
like this in view.

WANT LONGER PooTsEAsoN.

The worlds championship series of
1907 viii probably be heightened to
eleven or thirteen games. according to
President Charles W. Murphy of the
Cubs. who has just returned from the
national commission meeting at Gin
cinnati. Ever since the White Sox won
last seasons championship Murphy has
been out for longer series. and he
brought the matter before the national
commission.
While no formal action has been
taken on the subject by the commits
sion" said Murphy. 7 have discussed
the matter informally with both Herr
mann and Johnson, and both are in
favor Of the longer series. Pullman IS
in Europe, and l do not know what
his views on the subject are.
