over $50 from them. A library IN a
public school is an absolute necessity and
every teacher IN the county would do well
to emulate MIR. Gordon's example. The
Amber district is to be congratulated.

Milwaukee, wis, Aug. 2s.--when
association refused to pay Catcher
Paddy Livingston the salary he de-
manded last spring. which was report
ed to be about $4OO month, 1t prac-
tically threy away all chance for the
1903 pennant, and, as result, 1t is es-
timated that 1t cost Owner w. III.
Watkins in the neighborhood of $20.-
900, due to the loss of patronage on ac-
count Of the team being so low i'm the
race. All this trouble was brought
about by the salary limit of the as
sociation. Manager Charlie Carr and
Owner Watkins tried to live up to the
limit and claimed that they could not
pay Paddy the salary demanded. but
instead had offered him less than he
received In 1908. Finally matters were
adjusted by Indianapolis selling Liv-
ingston to the Philadelphia Athletics

t proved very costly for Mr.. Watkins
When Livingston was not signed up in

the team it is safe to say that they

placed them in the front row today.
That may be one reason why some of
the association managers and owners
say there will be no salary limit in
the American association next year.
