COLUMBUS SCHOOL IS FILLED
Total Enrolment Greater Than That
Ever Shown in the City in Former
Years and More Students are Expect
ed Later.

Mrs Mary D. Bradford, superinten~
dent Of the schools of the city, has pre-
pared a report showing the enrolment
OF the schools at the close of the first
month of school work and it proves a
very interesting statement. 1t shows
that the total enrolment of the schools
at the close Of the first month is 1856.
The boys have lost their place at the
head as the report shows that the num-
Der of girls enrolled is slightly in adj
vance of the number OF boys.
This is not true of the graded schools
where the boys are slightly in the lead
but the high school, does not seem to
offer the same attraction to the boys
that it does to the girls. The total en-
rollment of the schools is much larger
than in any previous year and it is ex-
pected that the enrolment will be even
larger later in the year. This IS es-
pecialiy true of the high school as it is
thought that many of the boys and girls
from the rural towns in the county will
enter in the school after the crops have
been harvested for the year. The adj
justment of boundary lines has been a
hard matter for the school officials to
meet, but the students are now pretty
well divided. The largest enrolment is
at the Columbus school with total of
632. The Balm school is second with
500 and the smallest enrolment is at
the Gillett school with ISL.
The report Of the superintendent
shows the following facts in regard to
school attendance.

The cherry season closes early in July.
Yesterdays shipment, which was
disposed of at pier No. 20, North riv-
er, by the Fruit Auction company,
came from the Bitter Root valley, in
western Montana, and consisted OF
1000 boxes, weighing ten pounds each.
The cherries were as large as plums
and were a deep red, the variety
known as the Bing. Bidding was live
ly and the fruit was sold to the trade
at an average price of $3.50 a box.
This is about so cents more than the
market price a month ago.
''The lateness of the crop is con-
trolled easily owing to the high alti-
tude of the Bitter Root valley. The
district has an irrigation system which
cost 100000, and which is able to
produce $4,000 worth Of cherries on
fifteen acres, while the cost of produc-
ton is less than $4,000"

Because Jimmy Doyle chose to be mar

course, Niagara University lost crack

Of the most promising inflelders who have
come to the front in recent years.
Like many other collegians whose
services have monetary value, Doyle had
played summer ball for Utica in 1907
under the name of Wilson. intending to
return to Niagara and continue his studies
for degree in dentistry. toward which
he had a two-year start. Instead he
was married in September to a young
woman from. Syracuse, his home town
He soon found that from his earnings of
S125 month for four and one-half
months season at Utica he had not saved
enough to support a family during the
long winter.
So Doyle took position as coach for
a Brooklyn foot ball eleven, and later
entered Syracuse department store until
the next summer should roll along. Now

he would resume the study Of dentistry
when his ball days are over this young
man who is the persopification of self
confidence without egotism, which all
managers like as showing a fighting spirit
replied: why. I'm going to play base
ball for fifteen years yet"
When President Murphy of the Cubs
returned from the spring training trip
with wonderful tales Of his new recruit
he was listened to with tolerance by the
scribes while he dilated on Doyle as the
necessary preface to getting some real
news, possibly. In fact, Mr.. Murphy was
so enthusiastic skeptics thought the as

For how could a youngster who had
batted only .254 in the American Asso-

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. August 5.-Gov. Dix
signed the F'rawley boxing bill on sched-
ule time, and bouts limited to ten rounds
before long will be legal in the Empire
state. Since the repeal of of the Horton
law ten years ago. under which many
notable encounters were held, promoters
of sparring matches have been forced to
resort to various subterfuges, but with
the handicap the sport retained its hold
on the affections of the public.
When the new law goes into effect there
no doubt will be a healthy increase in
the number of patrons Of the sport in
this city. Under the club membership
plan professional boxing has prospered
but of necessity the system favored the
privileged. Under the new conditions any
body may see bouts.
Sports and even promoters seem to be at
a loss as to when the Frawley law be-
comes operative. l am under the i'm pres
sion that next January is the time. How
ever. there will be no objection TO the
continuation of bouts under the present
system. Certain legal experts contend
that the newly appointed state athletic
commission will have no jurisdiction over
the clubs that hold contests for the en-
tertainment of members exclusively with
out charging admission fees at the doors,
