Advice to Parents

Reports to the Department OF
Public instruction show that Ioaiy
of the larger public schools OF the
State have opened for another year
of work. In few days nearly a
half million of Virginia children will
be back at their books
These children will be given many
words of sage advice by their par
ents. Here are some suggestions
for the parents themselves which II
followed will result in better schools
See that your children attend
school regularly; for the teacher
cannot instruct them when they
are at home.
Do not criticise the teacher or
the school officials in the presence
of your children.
See that your children are
promptly supplied with necessary
books and supplies.
Visit the school early in the SEES
sion in order to be acquainted with
the teacher and for the further pur-
pose of seeing that the school house
is in proper repair and is supplied
with all things necessary to the
health and comfort of the children.
Get your neighbors to meet at
the school house on an appointed
day and organize a School Improve
ment League. There are over 500
of these leagues in the State; and
through them, the people become
interested'in building up their
schools and neighborhoods.

RICHARDS WINS
AGAIN; LONGER
RACES FRIDAY

.TTAvING failed to bust" the
II speed trust at the Atlanta Mo-
tordrome, said trust" consisting
of Wilmer Richards, aided and abet-
ted by his Iadian motorcycle No. %,
by any scheme of importing machines
or teaming up against him, the At
lanta Motordrome will try staging
longer races.
On Friday night the feature race
will h. the Cracker Sweepstakes
named r. honor of the local ball club,
The exact conditions Of this event
have not been decided upon, but the
final heat will be the longest ever run
on the local track
The idea Of lengthening out the
race is to give the endurance riders q
chance. 1t is apparent that in the
spirits only Mcneil and Graves have
a chance with Richards. Tuesday
night Mcneil lost a kerplunker out
of the hip-h flop that diasticates his
Simms magnetic and couldn't ride his
Jap, while Graves new motor devel-
oped the asthma, complicated with a
catarrhal cough, and IT wouldn't run
either. So it was all Richards, and
he romped in the Sweepstakes and
the Purse, though they managed to
keep him pocketed in both events long
enough to produce some thrllllhs
stuff.
Friday night Richards viii find that
sprinting ability is at a discount and
endurance the thing. He win ind the
Twenty Four Hour Twins, Shields
and Lockner, right up in the hunt,
along with Renel and possibly a cou-
pie of others.
The riding in the Sweepstakes finals
Tuesday night, UP to the last couple
of laps, was the most sensational that
has been seen, For lap after lap the
four riders swept around the track at
terrific speed, with hardly half-inch
separating them. One swerVe car
ried George LoC6ner up On the per
pendicular boards, where he rode for
an eighth of lap getting down again
all right and staying in the chase,
despite that terrifying experience.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 9.-Youd
4 naturally think that with all
of the battling that the merry
old lightweight class did on the Dig
holiday the air would be a bit cleared
and that most of the arguments that
made these battles possible would
be wiped off the slate. Most OF them
are, but we are Immediately present
ed with some new ones, and they
are just as biting and as full of pos
sibilities as were all the discussions
prior to the July battles. Just duck
your head into a bunch of fight fans
when they are tanning and ask the
simple question: who's left now
for While Richie to fight? ?" and you
can get about as fine an argument as
you ever expected in this life. It's
worth trying, anyway, especially if
you haven't any other use for your
time
CHICAGO fight fans never will get
- over the idea that two young
men Of this town by the lake haven't
a grand chance with the Californian
whose classic brow is now adorned
with the mythical crown. Until
PaCkey Mcfarland either or both.
there always will be arguments here
that he isn't really the greatest of
them all at 1897 is it 1874 pounds
now?-and that Chicago never was
treated fairly by the opponents for
the champ. At least that's the way
the local followers of the game, stanch
to a man to either the North Slider or
the man from Garfield Boulevard are
arguing.
RRITTON disposed Of Charley
- Whites pretensions for the time
being at least. The decision went
against White, and though 1t might
not have been a good one, as the
astute Nate Lewis says, it is a de-
cisiOn nevertheless and already is
in the record books for all time Brit
ton has a host of friends around
town who believe Re is really the
greatest of them all at 1873 pounds
and even the recollection of the shade
that Packey Mcfarland got over him
in ten rounds in New York doesn't
chill their enthusiasm. There always
is the weight alibi for them on that
affair

Four Ready to Battle Richie

simply won't have It that the coast
lad has one chance in ten of whip
ping the pride of the yards, and it
is well to be careful how far you at
tempt to carry your end of the argu-
ment, too. The question of weight
isn't a strong one to bring up with
them, either, And if you try to say
that Packey, while great at ten
rounds, doesn't fancy the marathon
route they have on the coast you
are just as apt to get into trouble.
AFTER sizing UP the situation how
q is one going to get away from

out Of the running after his wonder
ful victory over the meteoric Bud
Anderson victory so one-sided and
decisive as to leave not the slightest
doubt in anybody's mind? Cross de-
serves the highest praise for the re
markable showing he made in this
battle, coming back as he did after
a terrible slump some months ago,
curing WnlCn time IL looked as II
every man in the country who got
a chance would whip one over on
him.
nON'T forget that Freddie Welsh
- the English champion, is very
much in the running, too. Nobody
has any right to count him out of
ii simply because he is a BTiton and
comes from a country that hasn't
produced a good heavyweight since
Charley MitchelIs day. We can not
see nineteen out of twenty of the
British fighters, but here's one that

in the eleventh round he was out"
said Richie. "And he stayed -out
until after the count of ten. Rivers
did not leave the ring for six or eight

him, he was still out. He did not
