The American league champions
are leading the procession. Last
season Jennings could not make the
tribe claw in unison for some time
after the opening and predictions
were made that the champions of
the year before had become house
hold pets.
But this was soon changed, and
the brick-haired grass puller led his
crew over the line by the width Of
one of those blonde hairs referred
to as "such fine hair"
But it's different this year. The
Tigers began snarling from the
crack of the gun and are going SO
fast they promise to open all sorts
of distance between themselves and
, No. 2 before midseason.
And just think of it! Jennings
hasn't loosed his Royal Bengal up
to date. He is holding him until the
kettles start boiling in the maple
bushes, for fear his coat will be
mussed. The question bothering the
league is, IF Detroit can remain in
front without Donovan, what's 60
ing to happen when Jennings slips
his leash?"

Have you ever seen Alta Weiss, the

playing ball. OF course, she isn't a

Miss Weiss pitches well. She has

DEGREES OLD SCHOOL MANNER
According to This Woman There Is No Occasion for Regret at
 Their Passing.

People talk about the decay of manners, but it is a good thing that some manners have decayed," said woman whose memory goes back to times that other people only read Of. Old school manners in the fam fly we can very well get on without. The manners of the old school fa- ther were those of despot, gracious and benevolent in some cases, but more commonly the reverse. The manners 6f the mother were those of an ambassadress, and the manners of the elder brother or elder sister were those of the head of depart ment of state. These were the more important offices, and below them were sub-offices, and each one was administered with degree of tyranny that was made endurable only by the fact that those who suf- fered could retaliate on members of the family one degree lower in rank. When there was no more family upon whose heads vengeance could be wrecked, the domestic regions were harassed for such opportunities for inficting suffering as they might offer. Iris distance lends enchant- ment to such manners. They would not bear close inspection"

TEACHERS MAY REFUSE
TO SIGN CONTRACTS
New Form Prepared by Board Is Re-
garded as Highly OBJ
iectionabIA.

If the board Of education Of Ogden Is
determined to make the teachers sign the
new form Of contract they have recently
adopted, it is very possible that Ogden
will have TO go in the field to secure
more than 100 teachers this summer. At
a session OF the board last night pc
titiOn signed by more than 400 teachers
who held mass meeting at the Congre-
gatiOnai church in the afternoon was
teachers object TO the new contract and
ask for weeks extension or time Tor
the signing of the contract. The latter
request was granted as all or the con-
tracts would have to have been signed
today.
That part Of the contract to which the
teachers objected was that which holds
back part Of their salary each month IN
til the end of the year. This clause or
penalty was inserted by the board on &C
count Of the fact that four or five Of the
best teachers of the school jumped their
contracts.
J. y Bishop former principal of the
South Ogden school. declined to accept
that position for next year. The matter
was referred to the teachers committee.
The matter OF securing quarters in the
city hail was referred to Superintendent
Mills. He was instructed 10 find suitable
