branch of school work that will be
necessary for the teacher to become
familiar with. Instead of learning all
these things in the school the teacher
will hereafter learn them in High

Miss Jessie Duboc was selected
from the Oskaloosa High school fac

She is assisted in the class work by
Principal Miller and City Superin'
tendent Frank w. Else. Both Mr.
Else and Mrs. Miller have had prac'

have many points of interest and in
struction to offer.
Special wirk will be taken up from
time to time. A practical phase of the
new work is the weekly visits to the
ward schools of the city. AS there
are fifteen members in the present
class they are divided into threes and
each party visits one OF the wards
They spend the entire morning in
the school listening to the recitations
and becoming familiar with the work
Later they will be permitted to con

the regular teacher. This will give
them instruction that Is of the best

The class so far displays upusua
interest and every member is thor

interest encourages the instructors
to greater effort and the first teach

will no doubt be one of unlimited
success.

PRINCETON, N. j., Dec. a.-Prince-

during the college vacation, and. ac-
cording to some who are on the inside
in such matters, the approaching crew
season will hnd races scheduled with
Yale and Pennsylvania and possibly
Cornell. Rowing is stil in its youth
at Princeton, but interest in 1t has
been at high pitch, more than 100 fresh
men reporting for their class crew last
fall, and like number responding as
candidates for the varsity crew at diff

Ing interest in the approaching spring
schedule. The triangular race with Yale
and Cornell. the first aquatic event of
the kind in Princeton for twenty-seven
years, was encouraging to the Tiger
last spring, and there is little question
about another race with Yale being
held this year.
Pennsylvania is anxious to hold the
race with Princeton on the Schuylkill,
but the local faculty is opposed to any
out-of-town trips and favors Carnegie
Lake, which has one and three-quarter

Altoona Moguls to
Keep Their Franchise

ALTOONA. Pa, Dec. a.-Despite the
dismal outlook for baseball In Altoona
next season, II can be stated that 1t is
no part of the purpose Of the present
owners of the local team to permit the
franchise to be forfeited because 1t owes
several claims. .
Arrangements are being made TO take
care of the obligations of the club, ana
then, IL It Is decided to quit the game.
the owners will be in position to sell
the franchise. They consider 1t and
the players to which they have a legal
claim worth at least enough money to
cover the entire Indebtedness of the
association, and they are business men
enough to know that 1t would be foolish
TO forfeit the franchise for the want
of a few hundred dollars. Hence the
members will liquidate any debts for
players they owe and endeavor to ne
gotiate the sale of the whole outfit
later.
A movement Is quietly on foot to form
a new organization and take over the
franchise and players here, belief being
strong that new blood would put new
life into the game In Altoona, In the
event that this turns out unsuccess-
fully, then the outsiders will be given

There are likely to be few develop

particular interest to the fans, although
the election OF Clark Griffith as q d.
rector Is expected. which means that he

Harry Rapley being Of especial interest.

The result is that the treasury Is not In

That the Nationals will play their first
championship game on April 10 now
seems assured. While the complete

of the teams on the circuit to open a

Probably Most Famous
Scout Is George HUFF.


Probably the most famous Of the
scouts Is George Hun. During his sew
sral years at Chicago he has discovered
men who have been invaluable to Frank
Chances team, and Ban johnson made
q master move for the interests of the
American League when he induced Hun
to 20 to Cleveland. The Maps have
spent probably more money than any
other club In the league in getting
scouts. but now they have ffnally iand-
ed a man who, in the opinion of many.
is without a superior in sizing up young
players.
As soon as Cleveland let go OF Bobby
Gilkes he was snapped up by McAleer.
and will scour the woods, together with
Pat Donovan, for material to fortify
the Red Sox. AS a successor to Hun,
the Chicago Cubs are trying to obtain
Billy Hamilton from the Boston Ma
tfonals.
Connie Mack has long had the SER
vices of Al Maui, the old Washington
pitcher, and Tom O'Brien, who used to
perform for Cleveland. Bobby Lowe and
Cavanaugh will once more look after
Detroits interests, while the Chicago
White Sox will rely upon Con Strouth-
ers. ~ ...- ...
Arthur Irwin, remembered as the
Washington manager in the now defunct
Union League, will continue with the
New York Yankees, although Harry
Wolverton Is likely to select one or
more, assistants for his chief scout
