SCHOOL BOARD ENTANGLE-
MFNT

1t is announced from Baton Rouge
that Governor Blanchard will likely
take action this week on the question
of removing the School Board of De-
Soto Parish in accordance with the au-
thority vested in him by the State Board
of Education at its last meeting when
this question came up before that board.
At that time the State Board directed, in
effect, that the School Board of DeSoto
Parish accept the resignation of Parish
Superintendent Goss and secure a new
superintendent, qualified to serve in the
Office according to the ruling of the
State Board. The State Board did not
think that Superintendent Goss was
qualified for the position and for that
reason called for his resignation through
the parish board. The resolution, it is
understood, also provided that in case
the board failed to get new parish SUI
perintendent, the Governor was author
lied to call for its resignation and APP
point new school board The DeSoto
board several weeks ago forwarded to
the executive office copy of resolu-
tons passed, in which it refused to take
action with reference to the parish SUI
perintendent >
Why is not Superintendent Goss quail
fled? Is it because he is not a teacher?
Are all the parish superintendent i'll the

exception of Mr. Goss, most worthy
citizen, scholar anad gentleman?

THE BROWNSVILLE INVESTIGA-
TTON

1t is simply waste of time and
money to continue the inquiry into the
Brownsville, Texas, outrage The evil
dence is conclusive that the negro troops
did shoot up the town Every effort
or attempt to whitewash the colored
troops must aggravate the situation and
make more prominent this travesty of
justice. 1t would seem that the sole aim
of some of the inquisitors on the Repub-
llcan side has been to discredit the white
citizens of that town, of whom many are
from the Northern States. 1t is the
rankest of political stupidity to intimate
that the white citizens committed this
outrage with the view of intimidating
the negro troops, but what will not men
of the Fire Alarm Foraker stripe not
do to keep in the limelight of notoriety
and win the votes of the negroes in the
Northern States?

SHREVEPORTTEAM IS ONE OF
STRONGEST IN LEAGUE.
FISHERS AGGREGATION
Promises to Meet the Fullest Anticipa-
tons of Their Friends-Some Per
sonal Mention of the Men in Their
Various Playing Positions.

The good record made by the Shreve-
port base ball team in the games on the
home grounds shows conclusively that
Shreveport has one of the strongest
resented this city. As they have played
all the teams in the league and show up
as. strong if not stronger than any of
them, makes them look like real pen
nant contenders-and it is safe bet
that they will finish one two three They
are stronger in every position than they
were last season.
At first base Fred Clarke has shown
that he is one fthe best first basemen
in the league and also good hitter
Lewee at second base outranks any
man covering this bag-his hitting and
fielding make him a very valuable man.
Carr on short ranks among the best,
his base running, timely hitting and his
ground abilities making him a
very valuable man, and he is destined to
be one of the most popular men of the
team.
King, although not a regular third
baseman, has played like veteran in
this position. His regular position is in
the outfeld He is also timely hitter
In the outfeld Shreveport shows up
very strong Warrender in right is in
a class by himself and is far above any
right fielder who has played here this
season.
Massing in centerheld although not in
his regular position, has done excellent
ly and his hard hitting makes him de-
cided favorite
Daley in left field is the most sensa-
tional fielder who has ever played in
the Southern League. His hitting and
base running are valuable features of
his worth
In Rapp and Graffius Shreveport has
two of the best catchers i'll the league.
The pitching staff this year is the
strongest in the league-Fisher, Gaskill,
Graham and Becker forming
the best staff of pitchers the team has
ever had. The prospects for this sea-
son looks very bright for the pennant
Fisher is to be congratulated on his
aggregation.
Rapp is one fthe most popular play
ers who ever donned a Pirate uniform
His consistent work has made him solid
with the fans. The popular catcher is |
throwing to all bases excellently and
has wonderful arm. He is game at all |
stages Rapp is batting at a .275 gait, |
which is excellent for catcher He is |
IF quiet retiring disposition, and |
shows remarkable hesdwork whenever
lie works. He is certainly an indspen-
sable acquisition to the Pirate catching
;taff and no doubt will be catching in |
some big league before another sea-
ion. F. G..
