of the longest hits ever made at Ma

the man who is directly behind the ath-

plan which he hopes will materially
strengthen the Bankers League and make
the games more interesting and excit-
ing. Mr.. Reeside thinks it is only fair
to let the smaller banks combine, pick
ing teams from two small institutions
which would be treated just the same as
team from one bank. In making this
change the number of employees in the
banks would be taken into consideration.
This plan would draw practically all of
the local banks into the league and would
make the baseball league Of interest to
every one in banking circles. The league
will not meet until the first week in
March.

the conditions. II. v. Shurtlief, who is
the present secretary, and who filled that
position last year. had to keep track of
more than LOO players for the season,
and, to use his own words, they hop
ped around like rabbits" until he hardly
knew where to find them. In order to
keep things straight. the secretary has
to watch the daily press reports. keep
his card index up to date, and con-
stanfly supply information for league
presidents and the officials of the com
mission. His spare time is constantly
taken up, and he should get a small sum,
not so much as salary but as re-
minder that his services are appreciated

COLLEGE TWIRLER
FOR THE PHILLIES
''TOOts' Schultz Will Join
Professional Ranks.
speaal to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Feb. 1a-'-Toots'' Schultz,
probably the greatst college pitcher who
has donned a uniform in years, has
turned professional He will be seen this
season in the uniform of the Philadel-
phia National League Club, with which
he signed several weeks ago with the
understanding that the fact of his sign
ing should be kept secret until such
time as he severed his connection with
the University of Pennsylvania, for
which he has won so many games on
the diamond.
Last year Schultz was in the engineer
ing department of the college. He ran
behind so in his studies that he could
not make up his dement's in the engi-
neering department, and applied to the
faculty to be allowed to enter the arts
department The faculty met on this
proposition to-day. and while none would
be directly quoted, it is known that all
sorts of pressure was brought upon
some of the members to allow Schultz
to remain in the university. The faculty
refused absolutely to place athletics
above scholarship.

, The Business High School basketball
five suffered severe drubbing at the
hands of the Cathedral School team yes
terday in the latter's gymnasium by

The game was uninteresting and only
featured by the playing of Crane. He
Gagged eight baskets in the first half, the
first goal being tossed by him after ten
seconds of play. Business was unable to
throw a basket from the floor during this
period
In the second half Business played
with more life and succeeded in adding
eight points to their total, Ford scoring
six of them. For the Episcopal five,
Stone was very effective in his basket

Ford for the losers played a creditable
game, while Crane and Davidson showed

WILL HELP THE STATE Confederate Re-Union at Little Rock Will Result in rIuch
 Good for Arkansas

In a recent address before the executive committee of the Con- federate Reunion, Col. B. B. Chism, former Secretary of State, urged the Committee to call to the atten- ton of the people of Arkansas, the amount of beneficial advertising that the state will receive from the Reunion to be held in Little Rock May 16, Y and IS. He also spoke of the benefits that will re- suit from having thousands of vis- itors from all parts of the state brought within its borders.
 "The people of this state should be brought to a realization of the fact that Arkansas, and not mere ly the capital city of the state, is to act as hostess to the Confederate Veterans" said Col. Chism. Bring the people from outside the state here. Show them that Arkansas has good lands, good people and good city for its capital. This Re union is worth more to the state as an advertisement than anything that ever took place within its. borders
 In connection with this idea of of advertising the states lands, all the railroads, in their Reunion folders, are offering special rates for side trips from Little Rock af- ter the Reunion is over. It is ex- pected that thousands of Reunion visitors will take advantage of the opportunity thus offered, to in- spect the opportunities offered by a great and rapidly developing state.

Interesting Sketch of Some of the Important Matters Now Be-
 fore the Lawmakers

Special to The Journal.
 Little Rock, April 19.-Undoubt- edly a great storm of protest would go up all over the state should the Legislature vote to ex- tend beyond May B, the time to which the session has already been extended. But with less than a month in which to wind up the af- fairs of state, the accumulation of business is so large that there is no chance for 1t to be finished in that time, and there is already more than chimney corner talk about the possibility of a luther exten- sion.
 Senator Friedell has introduced a bill which has aroused intense in- dignation among the educators and friends of education in the state, who are bestirring themselves to defeat 1t. The bill proposes to fix the tax levy for the next two years at 2 mills for general purposes, an advance of one-quarter mill; and at q mills for school purposes a decrease of one-half mill. The bill has been read twice and refer red to the committee on finance. If passed, this bill would reduce the apportionment to each district of the state one-siXth, or a total of $200,000 for the state, a tremendous loss for the schools of the state.
 The Senate has passed the Yum CT bill appropriating $495,000 for the support of the agricultural schools at Russellville, Jonesboro, Magnolia and Monticello, and 1t has been read twice and referred to the committee o1 education in the House. Itis meeting with some opposition because of the large amount carried, 1t being the larg- est on the budget with the excep- ton of state capitol, insane asylum and the general bill. The statement has been made on the floor that 1t was alleged when the schools were created they would soon be.practi- cally self-sustaining. Now they are being institutions of such magni- tude that they will almost equal the University. There is pending a bill levying a special tax of one quarter mill for their support, oth- erwise the money will come from the general revenue, as does the money for other schools.
 Last week witnessed the defeat

KILL DRAINAGE DISTRICT

Senator Raney has introduced and passed a bill through the sem ate abolishing Drainage District No. 1, southeast of Newark. Land- owners in the district declare that the expenses for engineers, attor- ney's fees, etc., in the creation of the district have been excessive, and for this reason asked for the district to be abolished.
 The Journal considers it very unfortunate that this state of af- fairs has arisen, as drainage is a matter of very great importance to this section of the country.
