question Only one side has ever been
presented to the consuming public, ow-
ing to the fact that the mail order
publications are interested in getting
the local parcels post bill through to
build up the mail order houses, as
naturally the more the farmers order

Dear Sir: The undersigned, being
members of the Board of Education of
the City of Vinita, respectfully request
you to hold the County Teachers In
stitute this year in the Cityaof Vinita,
and as an inducement we offer the
new high school building for its use
In view of the fact that we have about
81 100000 invested in physical science
and almost that much in
our domestic science department, both
of which we understand will be used in
the work of this institute. we offer the
use of our school building and this
apparatus on the following conditions:
i. That Miss Nellie Duncan, our
teacher of domestic science, be en-
ployed as the teacher of this depart
ment in this institute, to the end that
she may see that the property is well
used and preserved. OF course, if our
demostic science department and APP
paratus are not used, we shall not re-
quire that Miss Duncan be employed
in the institute.
2. That one of the male teachers
of our high school faculty be employed
in this institute work to the end that
he may look after the property in con-
nection Herewith.
You will understand that our only
for requesting that these two
members of our present faculty be en-
ployed is that we may be sure that
our property will be taken care of and
not misused.
We further promise you our hearty
cooperation toward making this in
stitute successful, and will lend you
any assistance in our power, such as
seeing that the teachers secure rooms
and board at reasonable prices, and
further looking after their comfort and
entertainment. With kindest regards,
we remain,

Der l., The program that will extend
over the three days of racing is the

There are eleven races in addition to
the four championship events. This
exceeds the usual European champion
ship program by four races. While
the prize money in the worlds cham

at all former championship meets, in
the handicap and invitation races for

considerably larger.

from the professional scratch races.
There are three of these races on the

The sprint championships, boil ANA

French style, without n pacemaker and
without a time limit.
New Indian motors will be used in the
motor-paced championships. While the
machines will be the same as hereto
fore, tho Horsepower will be seven, in
stead of FIVE. This has been authorized
by the National Cycling Association.
This greater horsepower will make the
pace races faster, as several of the
American pace-followers last season
could ride as fast as the ~ive-horse-
power motors could go with the power
all on. These new machines. however,
will be able to give, any rider all the
pace he calls for. They will be capable
of a mile-a-minute. with the pace
maker sitting up clothed in the regula-
ton pacing costume. In a way these
new machines will favor the foreign
riders. as the rollers are only two
inches behind the res wheel. while in
Europe they are accustomed to follow
ing machines with the rollers extended
eighteen inches behind the rear wheel.

All Sports Bound for
National Club Tonight

All roads lead tonight To the Ma
tional Sporting Club. The much-talked
about contest between Knockout Brown
and Abe Attell is the magnet that will
draw them in that direction.
This should be one of the hardest
fought and anxious fights chat New
York has seen in months. BY "anx-
ious'' is meant that the wonderfully
clsVer ring general. . Abe Attell, will
have to be at his best, to have all his
speed m tap to keep off the e~Ver-rush-
ing. always tearing little blonde Dutch
man, Knockout Brown.
Flo little *. o. may, at any moment,
slip yer the punch that will NEAR
the downfall of the king Of feather
weights. and it is the honest belief of
Knockout's friends that he will win
by a knockout before the limit.
ON the other hand. the friends OF
Atttell believe that he will decisively
outpoint Brown. They cannot figure
that a fighter can ship such a clever
boxer as Attell
To offset this Browns friends claim
that no fighter in the world can give
Brown the weight and bea him, fol-
in every contest in which Brown has
had, with the exception of Wolgast, he
has had to give away weight. He met
Wolgast on equal weight terms, and
won twice, and in one of these fights
he whipped the greatest little fighter
in the world today, and a worlds cham
pion.

Too Much for
Billy Sherman

In a hard ten-round battle, lin which
both fighters hit the canvas, Billy
Lewis, the sturdy fighter of this town,
received the decision over Billy Sher-
man at Long Acre A. c.. last night.
Lewis started the milling in whirlwind
fashion and In number one dropped
sherman with a right smash to the
jaw. The battle was, however. not
over, for when the gong sounded for
round two Sherman let go a left swing
which put Lewis fiat. The remaining
rounds were of the slan-bang order,
but the clever lead established by the
local lad gave him an easy decision.
