One thing about the American league:
It may not have set the world on fire
with brilliant politics at the meeting in
New York, but the league itself is har-
monious as far as the naked eye can
detect and there is the promise Of a race
next year as thrilling as that Of last
year. What trades and dickers were
made were absolutely on the level and
surfing the patrons Of the league a pen
nant scramble that will be entirely on
its merits and not due to any Juggling
II there were any Juggling II would
be to decrease the strength OF the De-
trOit team. for a surfeit OF champion
ships is going to hurt that city as a
drawing attraction. and II would be the
ordinary theatrical policy to prevent
such a catastrophe, but you will notice
nothing Of the sort was done. Let the
magnates fight all they want to. but as
long as they conduct the playing part
Of the league In such basebsily man
ner, the organization will flourish.
Don't worry about those Jeffries-Cor-
bett practice bouts. They will be good

The astonishing argument has been
advanced that Hamilton Fish, captain
Of the harvard football team, was not
elected first marshal because the stud
entS were so very angry over his men
losing the game with Yale, whereby
they lost a lot Of money. You'd think
Fish wanted his team to lose. TO listen

There is one thing that would make
a s-y hit just at the present time, and
would be as shrewd political move
as the National League politicians
could make, and that would be for the
Philadelphia club to swing around sud
denly to the Heydler side. II would
make an immense hit with the public
and would tend to wipe away much Of
the odium which has attached to that
club since the report got abroad that
Horace Fogel was really representing
Charles w. Murphy and Charles p.
Taft. Fogel's stand yesterday was ali
10 the effect that he was a Murphy
man, first, last. and all the time. but
if he were to swing over TO Heydler 1t
would tend to cleverly conceal the true
ownership Of the club and restore con-
fidence among the Philadelphia fans.

waiting the crop oi corn.
At harvest time let the corn

t. IA, Wy two disinter-
ested partit ,ho must certify

,datures. Forward this certi-
ncate to me, together with a

turned. Several months ago, on
account of illness, she was
obliged to giye up her position
in the school and 60 home, eX-
pecting to be able to come back
in a short while. However, she
did not return until this week.
Monday morning she appeared
once more at the school ready
to resume her old duties, and
was welcomed with the greatest
delight, not only by her little
pupils of the second and third
grades, but also by the older
ones, the other teachers and her
many friends in town.
Miss Erckmann, the primary
teacher, was summoned home
last Friday because of the ex-
treme illness of a near relative.
Clara Montgomery, of the tenth
grade. was called upon to ill
Miss Erckmann's place for the
remainder of the day and for the
first time attempted to teach
the little folks their A B C's.
Clara, it seemed, had no easy
time and was very glad to be
relieved of that task on Mon
day. The first grade is probably
the hardest one in school to
teach, especially wnen the
teacher is an inexperienced
tenth grader.

should guess the answer cor

is the largest port in the world?"
The answer, 1.-The mouth" was
thought OF and said first by Ro-

she and a few of her friends had
