Commends the Women.

Hill City News: Duluth Progress
sives won out in the recent school
election at that place. The issue was
whether or not to allow dancing in
the schools. By an overwhelming
vote is was decided that it is right
and proper to allow dancing in the
schools.
There was the heaviest vote ever
cast at school election in Duluth
and the issue was holly contested by
both sides. To the women Of Duluth
is given the credit of deciding in ia
vor of dancing in the schools and
their stand is to be commended as
this move will help to alleviate the
public dance hall evil in the city.

Good Argument.

Preston Times: School matters
have engrossed the attention of Du-
luth people the past few weeks al
most to the exclusion of the presi-
Dental fight. The question was
whether the different school houses
should be used as social centers
where amusements and entertain
ments, including social dances, should
be allowed. It was decided in the
affirmative by a tremendous major
ity, the women turning out in force,
nearly all favorable to the PROPOSE
ton. They argued that young peo-
pie will dance; that they crave
amusement and that they had better
get both under the supervision of
parents and teachers rather than in
questionable dance halls and other
resorts. Even those opposed to
dances must admit the force of such
an argument.

Duluth is Progressive.

Albert Lea Standard: Duluth cast
over 5000 votes at it's school election
last week, the stirring issue being
whether dancing should be allowed
by the students in the building of
the public schools. 1t carried by an
overwhelming majority, the candi-
date who most strongly favored it
receiving the biggest vote. The re-
suit is a credit to the intelligence
and spirit of beneicent progress that
characterizes the people of Duluth
and it is an example that other cities,
casting aside bigotry, may wisely fol-
low.

vided over the question whether
dancing shall be permitted in the
public school buildings of that city.
This became the issue at the recent
school election and the victory went
to the side that favored such permis-
sion. Over 5000 ballots were cast as
against 300 one year ago. The
women were very active at the polls
and it was largely through the fe-
male vote that the victory for social
sonable use of school buildings was
achieved.

A Suggestion.

Saltwater Gazette: BY a decisive
vote of the people of Duluth, the
school board will permit dancing in
the school buildings. Naturally it
will be the young people who will do
the dancing and it will probably only
be the round dances, such as the
waltz, two-step, three-step, polka,
schottische, etc. To get real dane
ing they should be taught the quad
rifles, lancers, portland fancy, mon
ey musk, etc., that their fathers and
mothers and grandparents used to
dance. Many of the young people
who attend dances have slight con-
ception of what square dance is,
but the older people know and for
a real time, that is the style to dance.

Although he was billed as a star

Fink, the Passalc whirlwind, in the

to the Skeeter a severe drubbing. The

EUery Day Nov There
Is a NeW Bengal Hero

Newark fans will watch with smoked
glasses for days ahead. It's almost
within sight now. When the Tigers
and the Pests collide for that Fourth
of July series there will be some
thing more than mere games at
stake. 1t will be a fight for posi-
tions. and Newark has the calibre
to conquer in the clash.
By the way those Birds are coming
1t begins to look as though they
have struck their stride on their
home plantation. But there are some
people who are limiting that there
Is something a wee bit phoney about
the Orioles victories at home. 1t
seems strange that the Birds would
win IS per cent. of their games at
home every season, while they hit
and field like Glass B leaguers on
the road. The old cry of a signal
tipping device down in Orioleville
has been limited at, but this theory is
discounted. There is one fact that
helps the Orioles a whole lot, how
ever, on their home lot. The ~rooters
are "on" the umpire all of the time,
and the Birds get the best of every
thing, but that all depends on the
side of the fence you see the game
from. Baltimore rooters are the
noisiest in the league.
A double, four singles, three passes,
a sacrifice fly and a stolen base
netted five runs for the Bengals in
the first inning. The Grays started
off to duplicate the trick and tai
lied three on a double, three singles
and a base on balls. The Tigers were
retired without a run in the second,
but the ZONE team corralled three
more. In the third, however, Collins
brought one in when he sent Stark
home on a nifty single. Newark
scored two more in the fourth, but
the Grays got a pair in their half.
Newark punched hits in the seventh
and eighth innings and got a run in
each session. With the score 10 to 8
against them, the clam-diggers got
two in the eighth. In the eleventh
the Bengals landed on Bailey and.
aided by McDermott's wild heave,
put across the winning runs.

prise came when it was announced
that Robert A. Gardner, the Yale
man, who recently vaulted IS feet l
inch, was not even on the list of en-
tries. Jim Rosenberger, Harry Gis-

those who will probably have to pay
their own expenses. Ray Ewry, the
wonder of four Olympic games, and
Martin Sheridan, the sensation in
Athens in 1908 and champion in Lon
don In 1910, have not entered. With
all the other stars, including Mel
Sheppard, Kramer, Bonhag, Berna,

rFrom a stan Correspondent.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June IL
Every day there Is a new hero in the
Tiger lineup, which goes to show
how versatile these Bengals are. On
Sunday it was Bell and Swacina.
Yesterday Bill Collins played the
stellar role and shared his laurels
with Lew McCarty. Wyatt Lee also
got into the limelight when called on
to check the Clam Diggers. and Wyatt
deserves. a great deal of praise, but
1t was Collins's throw to the plate
and McCarty's two extra base-hits
that did more than anything to turn
the tide in Newark's favor.
Every man in the regular lineup
fought hard for the game in spite of
the fact that they were tagged out
after a tiresome journey and were
morning after six hours of restless
slumber in a noisy Pullman car.
After getting away with eighteen
hits in the first game and disposing
of Bailey, their worst foeman on
the Providence staff. the Tigers will
be a disappointed bunch II they do
not collect enough bingles in this
series to initiate their slugging per-
centages to the stars during the re-
naming games of this series.
However, the unexpected may oc-
cur. One never can tell in baseball.
The opinion is growing stronger
daily that the Jersey City team has
shot its bolt and that Larry Schla-
fiy's men will need the services of a
parachute to save them from hitting
the bottom of the pit unless some
drastic steps are taken at once tp
strengthen the Skeeters tlinging corps.
McHale, their mainstay, has been
overworked, and Frill does not seem
to be anywhere near his proper form.
Perhaps a spring trip with h st.

due to eclipse the Skeeters In the

will be a glorious eclipse at that.
