Annex at Livingston

The annex to the main building at Livingston is now nearing completion, acording to the report submitted by
 President Brock of that institution When this building is completed 1t will have cost the state about s40,000, which Presi- dent Brock believes will be wise ex- penditure in view of the greater oppor- tunity which will then be afforded the school of accommodating very much larger number of students than are able | to attend under present conditions. The recent legislature appropriated something over s4O,O0O for the erection of this dor
 mtory.
 | The new building at Florence has not | yet been begun. Bids are being advertised for and 1t is anticipated that the con tract for the erection of this annex will be awarded within the near future. It is
 contemplated that this building will cost | $50,o00.
 In addition to discussing the numerous building projects in contemplation at the various normal schools, the board also took up the question of securing the per
 manent services of a landscape gardener,
 with the result that Charles w. Leavitt,
 Jr., of New York was appointed to this position. MT Leavitt, 1t is understood,
 will enter upon his new duties at once, and will travel about from one institution U another to aid in beautifying the
 grounds, and to suggest improvements of
 this nature that will prove Of permanent value in promoting the success of the six normal schools.

The rumpus at the Polo grounds,
which terminated in personal en-
counter between Umpire Rigler and

Chance considers himself fortunate
in getting Maroney, the new left hand
er turned adrift by Detroit. Maroney
signed with the Tigers on condition
that ne be given his unconditional re-
lease if he wasn't retained. Jennings
found that Bill Burns would fill his
needs so he allowed Maroney to go
and Chance grabbed him up. Maroney
was signed on the strength of his
work against the Philadelphia Athlet-
les while he was under trial with the
Phillies.
Philadelphia fans took off their
hats to John McGraw because he "con-
sented" to calling off games to give
the Phillies a chance to brace, but 1t
appears McGraw was not agreeable
to the postponements and consented"
because the home club exercised it's
authority and said the grounds were
In poor condition to play on. McGraw
has begun agitation to restore to the
umpires the right to say when the
grounds are fit. In spite of all the
