Grip on the Other Teams
Of League
CHICKS In TWO HOME
GAMES TOMORROW

The Tri-State teams have started
down the home stretch for the goal
that will be reached early in Septem-
Der. Positions in the standing of the
clubs have not changed much during
the past week. Altoona crept from
sixth to fifth place, and with the
strengthening of the pitchers depart
ment and the winning of four games
out of seven, shows that the Rams
are not in such terrible shape, and
If they continue to play as we'll this
week as the team did against the
lucky Reading last week, Altoona will
be a little more than in the running.
II looks as though the pretzel-
moulders have a tight grip on the
pennant, unless the other Tri-State
teams recover from the Northrop
scare and go at Reading with a de-
termination to. pull them down from
their present position. 1t can be
done.
During the last weeks work Read
ing took five out of seven games
played. Trenton won four and lost
three games during the week and
dropped a few points in its percent
age and allowed the breach between
It and Reading to widen from fifty
nine to seventy points. Johnstown
lost ground by taking but two out of
six games, dropping back some
twenty-five points in its percentage.
York came stronger, took five vic
tories and dropped two games and by
travelling as fast as the Reading Dutch

fourth place in the race during the
week. while Lancaster. tied with the

Lancaster took two out of six games

by winning four games and losing
three and increased it's chances to
get back into the running for a better
place on the championship ladder.
There are twenty men in the league
hitting at 800 OF better, and the real
leader of them all is Brent Of Will

but neither has participated in half as
many games as the Wilmington man.

DUPLICATE OF TEDDY's GUN.

In the exhibit of the A. H. Fox Gun
Company at the Eastern Handicap
shoot is an exact duplicate Of the only
shot gun Colonel Roosevelt carried on
his African hunting trip. This gun is
perhaps the finest specimen ever pro-
duced by an American maker. Among
the other interesting features of the
Fox exhibit are the new 16 and 20
gauge guns. The latter is claimed to
be the only real American model in
20-gauge. The exhibit is in charge Of

Oklahoma City, Mar. 4. - It appears
that the little red school house" in
Oklahoma will soon become an insti-
tuition of the past known only in song
and story, and in its place there is to
be built modern high school where
every country boy and girl in the state
will have the opportunity to secure
complete high school education with
out having to leave the environment
and influence of the home.
A bill appropriating two million dol
lars for the purpose Of assisting in
the construction Of rural high schools
has been passed by the house OF rep
.resentatives and will In all probability
be enacted by the senate. Other legis-
lation now pending viii make it easy
for the school districts to consolidate
and the money given by the state will
encourage the immediate formation Of
these consolidated or union rural
schools.
The money made available, if this
bill becomes a law, will be used to as
sist the consolidated districts by pay
ing one-half of the cost Of erecting the
school building, provided that the
amount does not exceed $500. The
district that participates in the bene-
fit of this fund must embrace ter
ritory of at least miles square. BY
having larger districts. able principals

ed without much additional cost to

This legislation is in line with the

question thoroughly and has improved
every opportunity to explain the adj
vantages to the members Of the legis-
lature and to urge state aid soT these

with the progress that has been made.
In an interview given out today in
regard to this innovation Mr.. Wilson

"One Of the most important educa-

state is the bill appropriating s2,-

cussed this measure with many Of the
most influential members Of both
houses and they are unit in the opin-
ion that this is one Of the crowning
efforts OF Oklahoma to place her rural
schools upon plant with the schools
Of the best cities. The tendency has
been to give too little attention to the
country schools. The state schools Of
Oklahoma have been generously pro-
vided for by former legislatures. This
step completes the system and makes
leadway from the country school
through the graded school to the high
er state institutions. No better plan
ior bridging the chasm between the
country schools and the state institu-
tions could easily have been devised. 2

When Joseph Weldon Bailey, junior
senator from Texas, rendered his resig-
nation. He gave as his reason the fail
ure Of the democratic senators to fol-
low his leadership in the contest over
the ratification Of the constitution Of
Arizona.
Senator Bailey opposed the Arizona
constitution because it contains the
initiative and referendum, and the re.
call, including judges. He expects
to be reelected.
Senator Bailey later refused to
make any statement, causing the i'm
preston that his real reason was not
made public.
Gainesville, Tex, Mar. 4.--When the
report Of the resignation Of Senator
Bailey was confirmed, his constituents
here began to pour teearams into
Washington, begging him to reconsid-
