PATRONS LEAGUES FOR
PROF. MORTON N FIGHT
Al Three Of The Organizations Give
The Superintendent IMAM
lnous Endorsements.
LADIES ACT WITHOUT NOISE
Resolutions Had Been Adopted BY
Each Body Before Anything Was
known Of Plsns-Powerful Support
for Incumbent in His Contest for
disappointment.

Unanimous endorsements for reap
po!ntment have been given Superin-
tendent of Schools w. c. Morton Dy
the Central. North End and East End
Patrons Leagues. These organiza-
tions, which are composed OF parents
of public school pupils and headed by
representative ladies' OF the city. have
taken an active interest In the school
work, and endorsements from them
will be powerful supports for Super
irtenden. Morton's claim that his
work as superintendent has met with
the approval of the patrons.
The ladies' went about the matter
of taking a hand in the fight over
the superintendency so quietly that
nothing was known about their plans
until all three of the bodies had act
ed. Each of the leagues adopted n
formal resolution. setting forth their
approval OF his Conduct in Office and
of the manner in which he has built
up the school system. and endorsing
him for reappointment.
Although the local board of school
trustees has endorsed Prof. James +.
Allen. of Eikins. WI Va. for appoint
ment as superintendent. Superinsend-
ent Morton will go before the State
Board of Education as. an applicant
for reaprointment and with strong
support He contends that the fact
that FIVE of the seven trustees who
declined to endorse him have been
members of the board for less than
nine months, practically utilities the
weight of the boards support
il Is believed that the endorsement
Of the patrons leagues Is the most
desirable support Professor Morton
could have. unless that OF the trus-
tees be excepted.

Lane, new pitcher who was in the
box for North End. was very erratic.
He had speed to burn. but as he could
not control the ball and allowed i've
hits In the first session, he was taken
out and Reynolds substituted Rey-
nolds pitched a. fine uphill game. al
lowing his opponents bat seven hits,
striking out nine and giving two bases
on halls.
Stcre. who was on the firing line
for the collegians, was very effective
allowing but six hits, which were
punched. however. in the third inning.
and Melted the locals their only three
runs of their score.
The features of the game were the
batting OF Nexsen, the pitching OF
Reynolds, the nice work of Bryan on
the bases at short and ut the lat for
North End. and the pitching CT Stone.
the throwing to second OF Keenan,, and
the allaround playing Of Bell on first
base for the collegians.
