Gallaudet Loses to
Mt. St. JoSeph'S Outfit

Poor condition and a number of in
juries to star players is attributed Gal
laudets defeat by Mt. ST. Joseph in
to score at Baltimore yesterday.
That Gallaudet would have won had
her players been in better condition is
the opinion at Kendall Green toda.y
and the closeness of the score with
such an incapacitated team is taken as
virtual victory.
Captain Brick showed steadiness un-
DER fire at all times, getting away to
poor start, keeping the runs scattered
in four innings. Gallaudet punched
hits In the fifth and scored two runs,
tallying again in the seventh. A num-
Der OF rollers to the infeld proved easy
outs when fast running would have
turned them into hits. The score:

Bill Donovan Tells
Story on Little Sammy"

NEW ORLEANS. March 81. 49, Here
is one Of Bill Donoran's latest story
cites
"a little colored fellow. living on
tn" Mississippi river wondered how
far it was to Nov Orleans. Finally
He didn't have money and he didn't
have the nerve 10 beat his way on a
train.
"One night. however. he asked his
uncle how far it was to New orleans.
The uncle looked at the boy a mo-
ment then said:
" 'Mh,4ay. SaUrmy, It am only a
short distance 10 New Orleans. Youh
all take youh boat tonight, row all

But Sammy didn't know it, And

himself:

Ed Walsh is the best pitcher in

Of the other stars when / make this

Walsh will win more games than
any other pitcher In fact, he will
win as many games as two ordinary
pitchers. And he has been the same
for years. II Is unfair to Walsh to corr
pare him with another pitcher. Ii, is
in a class by himself.

BIRDS PECULIAR ABOUT EGGS
Can Tell At Glance n MeddIed with
and VIII Almost Invariably De-
sert Their Nests.

II you have lived in the country and
know something about chickens you
will not need to be told that q hen
turns over the eggs In her nest every
day while they are Matching. Until
this secret was discovered the incu-
bator was not a success.
BY what instinct a hen. or any 9TH
er bird. can tell whether an egg has
been turned over or not It is impos-
sible to say: but II is we'll estab-
lished that II bird finds It's nest has
been disturbed. especially II one or
more OF the eggs have been turned
over, that bird will most likely desert
the nest at once and never return to
II. II seems TO know that something
is wrong and that its plans for hatch
ing out those eggs, taught II by ma
ture. have been interfered with, and
II is useless to bother about the eggs
any more.
Whether or not II Is the sense OF
sight or OF smell that enables the
bird to recognize the fact that the
nest has been disturbed is not known.
But every time a boy NEEDLES with
the eggs In a nest no matter how care
fully he touches them. he should re-
member that he will probably be the
cause OF the mother leaving the half
Matched little ones to perish.

Duties Of County Superintendent
State Superintendent Calls Attention
to the Fact that Questions and Com
plants Should be Directed to Them
First and Come to Him on appeal.

We have a letter from the State
Supt. of Public Instruction asking
us TO call the attention of teach
ers, trustees and citizens to the fact
that their inquiries concerning the
schools and school conditions should
first be made to the County Superin-
tendent and ordinarily they should
only come to the state office on ap-
peal.
We are informed that it has be-
come the custom throughout the
state for people to write directly TO
the State Superintendent about
thousands of little things-petty de-
tails OF school government or mi
nor questions concerning the law
which the County Superintendent
could easily handle.
The State Superintendent is not
averse to helping in every way he
can-indeed he is anxious to do 40
but he should be approached in the
proper way. He has no authority to
give an opinion until both sides OF
the question are fairly stated, and
that can be done best on appeal
from the Couny Superintendent.
