Little Rock, April 24.-At the meeting of the executive board of the Arkansas State Athletic Asso- citation held at the Marion hotel last night, the board by major ity of nine votes, decided that the game which Umpire Pence forfeit ed to the State Normal team at Conway on Wednesday when the Cumberland College nine left the field, refusing to abide by one of the umpire's decisions, should stand as victory for the Normal. It was decided that the umpire acted strictly within his rights in forfeiting.
 It was also decided that the el- igibility committee should be more strict in the future in the matter of pardoning athletes convicted of professionalism, and that no athlete should under any circumstances be pardoned a second time.

 George w. Caldwell had this question put to him by a correspon- dent of The Log Cabin Demo- crat this morning. His answer while edifying was scarcely en- Tightening.
 The board of arbitration provid- ed for in the Patterson bill met yes- terday and organized. This board is to decide how much Caldwell and Drake are to receive from the state of Arkansas for their services as capitol contractors. The board is composed of Judge Jacob Trieber of the Federal court of Little Rock, Chief Justice E. A. McColloch of the supreme court, who also resides in Little Rock, and Judge Jno. H. Rogers, of the western district federal court, resident of Fort Smith.
 The board after electing Justice McCulloch chairman adjourned without taking up the details of the work before 1t.
 Whether or not Caldwell & Drake will make a legal fight against being busted from the job is mighty interesting question just now. When asked therefore, what he was going to do about the mat ter George w. Caldwell spoke exactly as follows. He is quoted verbatim that none of the fine points may escape attention:
 Crops around my neck of the woods up near Columbus, Ind, are growing fine this year. There is every prospect of big yield. The pumpkin crop is going to be extra fiue too. You didn't know that I was the champion pumpkin grower of Bartholomew county, Indiana,
