PUBLIC SCHOOL TO OPEN

The Newark Public School will open October g, and 1t is hoped that every pupil in the district will be ready to enroll the first morning Pupils who are not altogether ready for school should enter at the beginning so as to be graded and classified and then if they have to quit and work for a few days they can study at night, and by this means keep in line for promo tion with their classes.
 It IS the earnest desire of all the teachers and members 0 f the Board to see every child in school every day of every week during the entire term. Parents are urged to see that their children are reg ular in attendance and to notify the teacher in case the children are detained at home.
 Lets have all the large boys and girls who have been out of schooI for some time to enter now and help to make the ensuing term ot school the most successful we've ever had.
 1 The school Board, at great ex penditure of money in enlargine the building, has provided ample room for every pupil in the dis trict. A nice lot of new seats ha, been ordered and will be ready fol use when school begins. A winter; supply of fuel is now in, and witt some minor repairs and changing furniture, we will be ready fol work. J. B. STEWART, Prin.

JESSE BISHOP RECOVERING

Jesse Bishop, of Black River township, who fell or was thrown from an incoming passenger train here some time ago, was in town Saturday. MT. Bishop is yet un- able to account for how the acci- dent happened, but says he had no intention whatever of getting off the train until 1t got to the depot when he walked out upon the steps.
 He says the porter had been hurrying the passengers off the train at other stops on that night, sometimes hardly giving them time to get off before the train would start again, and 1t was for this reason that he got up and went out, so as to be ready to get off as soon as the train stopped. He is inclined to think that just as he got out to the steps, the train was given a sudden jerk or bump in slowing down, .the force of which threw him off.
 He has not fully recovered from the injuries sustained and is yet quite stiff in the spine.

the proper proportion to the whole and
In each individual case varying according

These proportions also vary according 10

Association Desires to Secure

Territory.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Invasion of major
league territory in Chicago by the peace
route following a break with the Ma
tional Association and the granting of
certain concessions by the national COM
mission is the goal toward which Amer
lean Association magnates are quietly
working with the aim of effecting an
agreement with the majors which will
allow Chicago fans to see an A. A.
team in action during and after the
season of 1912.
This movement promises to see light
in the form of demands upon the ma
tional commission to be made shortly
after September 1 this fall.
It will then be put up to the supreme
court of baseball to either see a way
clear to grant the concessions sought
or precipitate a war which would prom
ise to overshadow in magnitude the
stormy days attendant upon the rise
of the American League.
The apparent willingness to hold back,
It is argued, is only natural in the face
of present conditions, and also series
of-events which will culminate in the
A A. being forced to take some sort of
4 stand. For the first thing, 1t Is said
that three of the clubs are now con-

Ball Players Oppose
The Oversliding Rule

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-"Nix on the pro-
posed changes in the baseball rules"
is the declaration of Chicago players
following the invitation of President
Murphy, of the Cubs, to discuss the
proposition.
The players are a unit in oposing the
changes allowing the oversliding of
second and third bases in an attempted
steal and the suggested innovation of
making three balls instead of four
requisite for a pass.
Among the prominent players now in
Chicago who voice their opposition to
any change are Ed Sweeney, catcher,
New York Americans; Charley O'Leary,
of Detroit; Germany" Schaefer, Of
Washington; Frank Roth, formerly of
Cincinnati; Arthur Devlin, of the
Giants; Joe" Tinker, and king" Cole,
of the Cubs.
The players believe the ovedsliding
rule would give fleet runners like Cobb,
Bush, Collins, and Speaker an advan-
tage.
