Through the courtesy of the special
committee having charge of the ex-
hibit the writer was afforded an op-
portunity this morning of inspecting
the educational display to be made by
the public schools at the Fremont
County fair, to be held on the Sth, 9th
and 10th of next month. The exhibit
Is surprising in its extent and COM
prehensiveness, and, in character,w VIII
compare favorably with anything of
the kind ever shown in Colorado. All
OF the graded schools of the county
will be represented in the display in
class A, viz: The Washington, Lin
coin, Jefferson and Harrison schools
OF Canon City; the McCandless and
Emerson schools of Florence; the
Fourth street and Lincoln Park
schools in South Canon and the
schools OF Rockvale and Coal Creek;
the competitors in class B. being the
schools of Williamsburg, Chandler,
Brookside, Fruitmere. Portland and
Howard.
All the work to be shown by the
grade schools is now in the hands of
the awarding committee and is being
adjusted in the district court room
today. That a generous rivalry has
been awakened among the schools Of
the county in educational work by
the Fremont County Fair association
is evidenced by the magnificent ex-
hibit to be made here next month. In
scope and merit the display will be
a revelation and will show as nothing
else could do what is being done in
our public schools. OF the hundreds
OF pieces of work sent in by the pupils
of the various grades all are cred

in drawing, indicate genuine talent.
In addition to the display of work
made by the several schools of the
county in a collective capacity there
will be prizes for individual exhib-
its in drawing; water color work;
collection of minerals; collection Of
seeds; collection of woods from FIRE.

FORMER CANON WOMAN
SUES FOR THE MACKY ESTATE

Lunas, N. NJ, warm personal friend
of Macky. Boulder folks regarded her
as really the daughter OF Macky, for
she lived in his house from her Sth
until her 22nd year, and was INDUCED
with every luxury, including Europ-
can trips.
All of Boulder believed that the girl
would inherit the entire Macky estate
and the story that the philanthropist
and his ward had become estranged
was a distinct shock. That the
Spirits" brought about the estrange-
ment was cause for still further sur
prise. Whether the spirits or love
affair really caused the break has
been mooted question. Mrs. Oles
says the spirits caused the trouble.
Included in her grounds for claim
ing the estate, Mrs. Oles asserts that
she has proof that her father gave
Macky a trust fund of $500. which
is hers. and that valuable mining
story included in his estate also
belongs to her.

Mrs. Oles at her home in Boulder

| recovery Of the trust fund which was
given to Mr.. Macky by my father for
my use, while. as a matter Of fact.
I am seeking what I consider to be
my right to the inheritance Of the en-
tire estate"
"Often Macky told me that the will
would be made out In my favor. but
then" she broke Off. you will hear
my side Of the matter when the case
comes up in court"
o. A. johnson Of Boulder. attorney
for Mrs. Oles, says that he found ev-
idence in Albuquerque that Bradford
placed the $500 fund in the hands
of Macky for the benefit OF his dau-
ghter. He declares that Mrs. Oles
never knew Of this fund, and that she
was in ignorance OF mhat her father
had done for her when she signed
a receipt surrendering her claim on
the Macky estate. johnson also
claims to have proof Of the ownership
of mining stock by Mrs. Oles but held
by Macky.
Bradford and Macky were Close
friends. When Mrs.. Bradford died

PUBLIC SCHOOL EXHIBIT
TO BE AN ATTRACTIVE
FEATURE AT THE FAIR

later than Tuesday morning, Sept
ember 7th, to get into the competition.
The great number of pieces of work
sent has been very gratifying to the
committee and is sure to attrace much
attention from visitors at the forth
coming fair. The special exhibit OF
school work shown in the Harrison
block on Main street last year was
the subject of much complimentary
comment, and was worthy OF all the
praise bestowed upon it, but was in
every way inferior to the display to
be made at the fair next month.
The committee in charge of the ed
ucational department, the members OF
which are awarding the premiums
in the school work display at the
court house today, consists of Mrs.
Minnie Merriam, chairman, Mr.. Frank
Shultis, Mrs. Lula McKorkle, Miss
Katherine Wood, Miss Eldora Britt
and L. A. Moynihan.
The fair association set aside two
hundred dollars to be given in cash
prizes to competitors in the educa-
tional department and it is safe to
say that 1t could not possibly have
invested it to better advantage. The
Daily Record predicts that the public
school display is going to be q rev.

PEARY CLAIMS THE HONOR
Says He Is the Only White Man to
Reach the Pole.

New York, Sept 15.-Commander
Robert E. .Peary, according to the dis
patches from Battle lIarbor, Labra-
dor, has assumed a less aggressive
attitude toward his rival, DR.. Frederick
A. Cook, and with DR.. Cook beyond
the reach of wireless on the ocean,
the fame of the North Pole contro
versy must be fed by supporters Of
the two explorers rather than by the
principals themselves. DR.. Cook has
held his tongue all along, with the
assurance that he would make
good" when the time came, but until
Monday Commander Peary flashed at
intervals curt messages from Labra-
dor, questioning the achievement of
the Brooklyn explorer When inter-
viewed, however, Peary said that he
declined to enter into further debate,
until DR.. Cook has issued his full
authorized statement" At the same
time the commander emphatically re.
affirmed that 81 am the only white
man who has ever reached the North
Pole"

ure from Battle Harbor is still indefi-

GIBSON's GREAT RECORD.
Pittsburs's BacI,stop Establishes Marx
For Consecutive Games Caught.

George Gibson. the Pittsburg Pirates
premier catcher, is the best backstop
in the National league. He has been
going behind the bat day after day,
and many fans have never awakened
to the fact that his record for games
caught has reached a point where it
has placed his name among the great
est receivers that ever wore a uni
form.
Writers all over the country are Civ
ing Gibson credit for being a star, but
it has taken them long time to real
ize the fact. Had King. Bresnahan,
Meyers. Bergen or Schler made the
record that Gibson has made the pa
pers in the cities they had caught in
would have been filled with stories
about their great work. But in Pitts
burg his performance has been taken
as matter of fact.
Gibson during the last two years has
led the catchers of the two major
leagues in games caught. He was i'll in
1907 and last season worked in 14O

RUN DOWN CLUES
WITHOUT RESULT
Police Of Utica, n. Y, BatfIed
sa by Murder Case.

Utica, N. Y, Sept. 15-The police
have run down every possible clue
without result in their effort to find
the murderer of little Theresa Proco-
pio and Freddie Infusino, and they
are no nearer a solution than they
were when the crime was discovered
Monday.
Rewards aggregating 1920 have
been offered for information which
will lead to the arrest and conviction
Of the murderer and every police Off
Ger in the city is on the alert.
The attitude of little Fannie Infusi-
no, who insists tina. she does not know
the name of the man who lureG her
and the two dead children from their
homes Sunday evening. together with
the statement of Mrs. Gray, who first
discovered the crime. that the Infusi-
no child told her the name of the
man strengthens the belief that the
parents of the children know more of
the crime than they have admitted to
the police.
Before the authorities arrived, Mrs
Gray says, the child told her the name
of the man, saying that she knew him
well. 1t was an Italian name she
says, but she is unable to remember
it. A few moments later the childs
father arrived and talked excitedly
with the child in Italian and from that
time on the child has stolidly main
tanned that she does not know the
man and gives only vague descrip-
ton of him.
The parents have not given the au-
thorities the slightest assistance.

Methods of the Handlers of Bio
Baseball Teams.
CLARKE is THE GREATEST.
Leader of the Pirates Has No Apparent
Weakness as Pilot of Major League
Team-chanoe, Jennings, Mack and
McGraw Great Leaders.
By TOMMY CLARK.

by lONIN1 CLAtSh.
Now that the teams in the major
baseball leagues have struck the home
stretch and it looks at the present writ
ing as if Detroit would carry off the
American league banner for the third
time, thereby establishing a new rec
ord in the Junior organization, and as
though Pittsburg would carry off the
glory and coin in the National league,
the dyed in the wool fans are busy
discussing the merits Of the clubs, and
involved in this discussion is the very
interesting question, who is the
greatest manager in the two big cir
cuits?"
Apropos of this question it might be
interesting to briefly mention five lead
ing managers and what they have done
with their teams. For instance, take
Hugh Jennings Of the Detroit Tigers.
There is no more universal favorite in
baseball than this fellow, the leader Of
one of the most aggressive teams in
either league today. He stands out as
one of the greatest pilots that ever di-
rected the affairs of a nine Hughie is
fighter from the drop of the hat and
Is never beaten till the last man is out.
That McGraw of New York is one of
the brainiest men in baseball cannot
the game as any man living and is a
fighter from his feet up. He is keen to
grasp q situation, and none in the
business can catch the signal of dis
tress as quickly as McGraw. His only
weakness, judging by the past. is that
he has been unable to develop first
class pitcher.
Few will dispute the statement that
as leader of a team Frank Chance
of the Chicago Nationals is one of the
greatest that ever lived. His record
is too we'll known to be taken up here,
but it can be said without fear of con-
tradiction that it is due to his brilliant
work as manager that his team has
carried off the pennant honor three
times in succession and two world S
championships.
Connie Mack Of the Philadelphia
Americans is one of the shrewdest
managers in the business. He is a
student Of the game Not alone does
he study his own players, but mem
bers of the other teams as well. Dur
ing the game Mack jots down little
notes of the weakness of some batter
or perhaps misplay by his own men
that costs a run or two. In the latter
case he will call the players attention
to this and inform him how it could

AIS CAPABLE CATCHER.
games, while it is expected that he
will eclipse these performances this
season.
He recently established a worlds
record for consecutive games caught.
Gibson has eclipSed the wonderful
record made by Charley thinner, who
caught III consecutive games during
the season of 1890. Think of tia rec
ord that has stood for nineteen years!
1t is much harder thing now to
make record than ever before. The
game has changed. and the wear and
tear on a catcher is greater, especially
team he has been catching for has
been in the lead for so long. 1t was
on May 5 last that Gibson took rest
just for one day, when O'Connor re-
lieved him. He then started in to work
again. and every day he has been be-
hind the bat for the Pirates.
The only catchers who ever came
near to these two records were Flint,
who caught 100 out of 121 games while
a member Of the Chicago team in 1871;
Mcguire. now managing Cleveland,
who caught 1872 games in the season of
1896, and King of the champion Cubs,
who caught the same number as Flint
in 1908. This leaves Gibson with the
major leagues record of 40 games.
which he caught last season. The
greatest number of games ever caught
during one season was 175 by Berry
while a member of the San Francisco
team of the Pacific Coast league.

be avoided. Mack is one of the great
est developers Of youngsters that ever
lived. Nearly every season he devel-
ops one or two stars. men that were
not good enough for other teams.
Credit must be handed to Fred Lake,
manager of the Boston Americans.
This fellow took hold of what appear
ed to be the joke team of the league
and whipped it into splendid playing
machine Lake has proved what he
can do, and next season we will hear
from his great collection of youngsters.
Now we come to Fred Clarke of the
Pittsburgs, who has proved himself
one of the greatest leaders in baseball
history. His achievements for this ard
last season stand out above those OF
Chance, Jennings or McGraw, although
one would not belittle the efforts of
any of them. But they started out
with the stars of the country at first.
second and third base, made up of
men noted for their smuggling qualities
and all around ability. Clarke took
lot of men who looked no better than
a third or fourth place proposition and
developed them into great baseball
machine. He is. in the opinion of the
writer, the greatest manager in the
game today. Clarke has everything a
successful leader needs. He is de-
veloper CT youngsters, a fighter, and
no one knows more about inside than
does this same fellow. Besides being
grand leader, he is also one Of the
greatest players in the game.
Clarke has been manager Of the
Pittsburg National league team for
nine years, ard in that time the team
has never finished out Of the first divi-
sion, winning three consecutive pen
nants, finishing second three times,
third once, fourth once and last year
being tied with the New York Giants
