Former Audrain Man.

The following, from the Missouri
School journal. refers to the work
of a young man raised at Rush
Hill, this county:
Supt. l.. b. Sipple ought to
have the support aud cooperation
of all friends Of education in Adair
county in his efforts to abolish the
divided school term. All who give
this subject serious thought must
conclude that much time is lost as
well as interest, in dividing a sew
en- or eight mouths term and per.
haps having a different teacher for
each. Every one has taught knows
that much better progress is made
during the last months Of school
than during the first. Breaking
into term always results in dis
orga nizatiOn a1d confusion.

SCORE IN NEWARK

Kruger Bowler Averages 1892

League Team.
WEST ENDS WIN ODD
FROM THE NATIONALS
Turner's Now Tied for Second
Place with Park A. A.
Averages to Date.

Rolling a 800 score, an honor which
comes to few bowlers in a lifetime
was the feat accomplished by Con
Leick, of the Gottfried Kruger Asso-
citation, in the Newark League match
between the Kruegers and the Repub-
lican Indian League last night on the
formers alleys. The performance, COM
ing in the last game, was not helped
along by any 1uky strikes. Twelve
times the ball was sent gliding down
the alleys and twelve times the pins
were swept into the pit, all as clean
as a whistle.
Leick's pinning last night was little
short of remarkable. He not only hung
up a perfect score in the final game,
but reached a mark of 256 and aver
aged 1882 for the series. The Kruegers
scored a clean sweep, rolling 1,011 in
the opening heat and 1901 in the
wind-up.
While this sensational pinning was
going on at the Kruger clubhouse an
other highly important series was be-
ing rolled at the National Turner's
quarters, West End VS.. National. 1t
was a clash between the leader and
the runner-up. The West Ends easily
put away two out of three games.
They now have a lead of four games,
the Nationals having fallen back to a
tie with the Parks, and there remains
little doubt as to where the champion
ship will go this season.
The scores of last nights games and
the records to date follow:

So Tommie Burns is still in London,
Ell? Well. o can't blame the Canuck
for reaping all the money he can ove
there. England is about the easiest
place in the world for fighters to pick
up gold. Anybody who can pull on a
pair of boxing gloves is liable to get
away with an easy living for many a
day. Arlstocracy is as foolish there as
ii is in this country. | read the other
day where it is hard to educate the
children of the rich. There is a hid
den meaning in that. 1t you study il
out you will find why it is such easy
picking for men like Burns, Frank
Craig, ''the Harlem. Coffee Cooler" and
a host of other NUTS to beguile the
English sports. The ogle-eyed monocle
chaps are fools. and there is nothing
of pounds, shillings, pence and %farthings
in sight let him stay there. He is not
regarded over here as a wonder, and
l guess England. Ireland and Wales
are welcome to him.
But when you speak OF Burns you
touch that sport that is dear to the
heart of every American-boxing. If
all the sports participated in by full
blooded Yanks none is as full of juicy
meat as the fighting game. When did
it start? Now, bach up; you need DIR.
Elliott's attention. 1t was we'll adj
vaRced in years when Old Sport came

when it originated.
We are a progressive race. n there
is no need of looking backwards.
There would be 100 many dead ones
TO dig up. Let us talk of our own
time. Boxing is an art. Fighting Is
the outcome of mani natural instinct.
A clever boxer is like a well-tuned
piano-he is entertaining when used.
Fighting is the steam engine that
GENES along and pushes things away.
Combine both and you have a valuable
piece of property.
There is one thing about lighting

go or how many old-time warriors you
can mention. Name me any of the old
fighting clan and l defy you to pick
from one of them a fakir. If you try
| and do the same thing with the boxers,
I'll take water. Many boxer are
fakirs. Fighters, real fighters, can
never fake.
The old saw that you may lead a
horse to water, but can't make it
