Joke story Causes Comment.

Sporting writers all over the Western
league circuit seem to a the rumor
seriously that Pa Rourke is talking OF sell
ing the Omaha team to a Comiskey agent.
OF curse these writers don't know the
straight of the deal, which was simply
that the members of the Stove league were
kidding" a certain sporting writer who
'ate up" the dope as It was handed out.
A Sioux City writer in specializing to the
extent of nearly a column on what would
happen II Comiskey bought the Omaha
team said his holdings already were:
He owns the Chicago White Sox.
Has an interest In the Washington
team, managed by Joe Cantillon.
Is more than friendly to the Minneapo-
lis club, managed by Mike Cantillon.
Leans strongly to the Des MONIES club,
which the Cantillons are said to own, de-
spite the fact that Uncle John Higgins
runs il, or tries to.
President O'Neill OF the Western league
is Comiskey's scout and booking agent and
secretary, and the Comiskeys. Cantillons
and O'Neill are closely associated. If
PA" RouTke Jars loose to Comiskey the
old Roman will practically control the
Western, and already has two clubs In
the American league and one in the Amer
lean association.
Rather looks as II he could build up any
kind of a club he wants at Chicago II
the dope is correct.

The JOURNALS information last week
concerning the proposed summer school
for county teachers in Cumberland came
in late.
Little or no time was left to attempt
verification, even if it had been doubted.
But within a few days half dozen
people, including the informant, stated
that a mistake had been made.
Indeed, a twO-fold mistake
/, That if the enterprise proves sue
cess, the school, most likely, will not be
held i'll Cumberland. On the contrary
,, Frostburg would probably be the
location.
OF course, the JOURNAL regrets having
printed the item, and yet, under the
light of a reliable countenance, what
else could it do?
L0ter-A note from A. G. Wilson,
superintendent of county schools, con-
firms the statement that the JOURNAL
was miSintOrmed.
Mr.. Wilson says the School Board
has not agitated IA summer school in
Cumberland, nor has any such move
ment ever come before the Board.
He says "the Board last year did most
positively and willingly commit itself to
a summer school in Frostburg"
This being true and the JOURNAL S
memory not at fault the Boards con-
duct last year was and is also misunder-
stood here.
And this is the recollection that
ranked when last week 5 report came to
JOURNAL. ,..
And now if, as Mr.. Wilson indicates,
the prerogatiye of fixing the location of
the schools belongs to the teachers, the
Journal bids them go ahead, make the
school a certainty and establish it any
where, preferably a place where the
most can reach it at least expense.
Anywhere is better than nowhere.
