SPORTING
BASEBALL WAR
MAY BE COMING
East and Vest Regulars Are
in the ThrOes of
Fear

The rumor that Chicago is to be invaded
by another baseball ieague-the American
ana National being already on the spot.
refuses to be silenced. The talk Of tho
American Association going to the Windy
City and the fact that the Atlantic League
is already working in the East while the
new Union League is threatening to get to
work, are disturbing TO the gentlemen who
have much money invested in the Older
league clubs and who, by the way, feel
that they own the patent rights on base
ball and can control the national game
anywhere.
In the midst Of the broi word comes
from Philadelphia that the Atlantic
League, organized by Al Lawson last
year, may quit outlawry and get in under
the national management. The Atlantic
VIII hold a meeting at the Franklin
House, Easton. Pa, on January z. and Al
Lawson, the organizer says he win attend
and help It to round out its circuit. Ac-
cording to Lawson. the Atlantic League
next year may not be an outlaw. He
says that some of the members favored
protection last year and as these mem-
bers will now be the ruling spirits in the
league, II Is likely that the organization
win come in under tho National agree
ment.
When asked what towns would be likely
to make up the Atlantic League circuit
next year, lawson said: "A compact cir
cult could be made up Of Easton, Allen
town. Pottstown. Pottsvine, Shamokin,
Tamaqua, Hazleton and York"
As to the Union League Lawson says
. pllcations are coming in fast for the two
vacant places, Richhond, Va. being esps-
cialy anxious to join. The outlaw leader
says he will visit every city that has ap-
pied, and go over every detail and then
pick out the two which appear to be the
strongest. It win be about six weeks be-
fore the next meeting OF the league will
be held.

Is MATRIMONY THE CAUSE +?
Scarcity Of Teachers Is the Complaint Made
to State Superintendent of Education Powers.
Examination Hard on Blacks.

State Superintendent of Education
Powers is receiving complaints from
county superintendent to the effect
that they are unable to secure teachers
for their schools, and asking assistance.
In Alfalfa county some twenty teachers
are needed right away, and another
county wants fifteen. The superintend-
ent of Lincoln county is short several
negro teachers and advertises in the
newspapers that he wants "twelve hon
est negro teachers. The superintend-
ent will hardly try to help that county
superintendent.
The superintendent of one county
over on the eastern border of the State
writes the State superintendent that he
has been making the examination ques-
tions SO hard that the negroes cannot
stand them, and that he is about to run
out of teachers. But inasmuch as that
is about the only way to ever secure
efficient teachers, white or black, the
questions will hardly be made any simp-
Ter or easier.

that family into the deepest grief, but

friends of the family and the young
man and caused the most intense regret
among the young men of his class at
Tulane University, where he was one of
the brightest students though the young
est member of the class of 1908.
"Young Craft died of typhoid malarial

gineering, in which course he was to
graduate, by accepting position in the
drafting department of the Southern
Pacific Railway. 1T was while concluding
this work that he became ill. Every
thing that the highest medical skill
could do was done for the young man
but without avail.
'Mr. Craft was communicate of
Trinity church and a young man of the
highest moral and intellectual character.
At his graduation he would have been
the youngest graduate from Tulane
University. His preparatory education
was received at Rugby Academy, where
he graduated with high honors and Sc
cured the scholarship at Tulane.

Where cool sea breezes course,

The loving maid will feed her beau on

A red or pink chrysanthemum is the
symbol Of love; white one signifies
truth, and yellow one despair. When
you wear a yellow one, it means that

have keen sense of humor. But you
can never be President. This is great
disappointment, but you can't have
everything.
The lucky days of the month will be
the fifth. eleventh, thirteenth, twenty
second and twenty-ffth. Any of these
is good day upon which to begin a

be the sixth, fifteenth, twentieth, twenty

up on all of these days, or the stork may
bring you pair of twins. The day TO

Hurrah, we'll all sit down to feast
Within three weeks or so;
The rich will have their turkey then,
However high they 60
But most OF US will sit around
And eat a piece OF crow.
And then December will arrive, with
Wintry winds and raw. the papers win
be busy then retrying Harry Thaw; the
boys will go to Sunday school a-fying
then. because it won't be very long un-
til they hear from Santa Claus.
