Gilmore would have had no more
chance in getting publicity than a
snowfall in the internal regions.
But he played his cards at the
psychological moment and in "a
hours the Federal League got
about 100000 worth of advertise
ing through the signing of Joe
Tinker.
HE leader of the Feds has
worked secretly and when
man does that he has the other
fellows guessing. Included in the
other fellows" are the reporters.
Many conflicting statements are
being made regarding the out
laws however. In fact, the pro-
motors OF the organization are
giving out conflicting statements
An Indianapolis magnate saws
for example, that Tommy Leach
has been signed to manage the
Pittsburg club. Leach denies 1t.
SO does Gilmore and so does
Barbour, president of the Pitts
burg club. But while several OF
the Federal League club owners
have their signals mixed and their
wires crossed Gilmore has thus
FAR said but little and has made
good on -his statements.
HE Federal League is a long
way from winning its fight,
but so far its leader in the per
son Of Mr.. Gilmore has created a
favorable impression on the base
ball public

Sidelights on Sports
BY A, II. c. MITCHELL

n GORGE TYLER, southpaw
r of the Braves, says he pre-
fers TO stick with Stall
linss, but if he is snapped to st.
Louis he will jump to the Fed
eral League.
EVERY ball player has an aver
- sion to playing in st. Louis
because the weather is so ter
rifically hot In summer. 1t is bad
enough to have to go there as
member of visiting team for
eleven games a year, but to be
there S0-odd days in a playing
season is something the average
BAH player ducks whenever pos
sible.
1T Is the general opinion among
ball players that the reason
the St Louis clubs make such a
poor showing in the American
and National League races is be-
cause of the hot weather that
prevails there most of the sum-
mer.
Lou Criger, who PLAYED a sea-
son or two In St. Louis, used to
say: "Many's the night l have
lain awake from shutdown to sun
rise because | couldn't sleep on
account OF the extreme heat. That
sort OF thing takes all the ginger
out Of a ball player | would
rather play for $1,000 in Boston
than for five times as much in
ST. Louis"
THIS Mr. James A. Gilmore.
president OF the Federal
League, seems TO be ma ster OF
me art OF publicity He jumped
from the coal business TO become
leader of the OUTLAW" organiZa-
ton. Doubtless he realized that
his talents in the publicity line
were being wasted in the coal
business. Publicity in the coal
business Is not the right kind OF
publicity. II usually runs to ref
erences to coal barons and the
numerous advances in the price
Of the commodity.
HAT didn't suit MIR Gilmore.
Besides he said that coal
baron stuff was a Joke and that
there wasn't much money in coal.
So, although novice in the
baseball business. he took a
plunge and has succeeded In an
incredibly short space OF time in
making the entire baseball world
sit up and take notice.
OF course, Mr. Gilmore was
- greatly helped by the fact
that Il is the of season for base
hall reporters. In the summer
time, when the reporters are busy
with the real baseball doings. Mr..

quently it is believed the property is
sought for President Wilson. A move
ment on the part of a committee COM
posed of several of the colony has
been started for the purpose of infiu-
encing the president to make his sum-

No Ste. e.n.vIeve ston. for Capitol.

No Ste. eenevleve stone for Capitol
Jefferson City.-A positive stand
was taken by the capitol building
commission with reference to the use
of Ste. GenevieYe limestone in the
construction of the Missouri state
house.
LII a statement issued in reply to a
letter from K. F. Gill, the contractor,
in which he expressed surprise that
the commission takes the stand that
he is developing a quarry in Ste. GEN
eyieve county. solely on his own re-
sponsibflity and without the approval
of the board, it is emphatically and
unequivocally announced that the
commission will not accept this stone
It is not the best stone obtainablo
in Missouri, the commission says,
either in quality o. appearance, it.
never has been properly tested by use
in buildings, and the commission is
unwilling to experiment upon the
states greatest monumental building.
The use of Ste. G~enevieve stone
would not result in a saving of one
dollar to the taxpayers of the state,
but would only cheaper the cost or
the building to the contractor, the
commissioners say.
The commission reiterates its for
mer admonition to Contractor Gill
that it is important for him to obtain
the best stone for the ~statehouse
with all possible speed.
Various estimates have been made
as to what would be the saving to-
Contractor Gill if permitted to use
Ste. Genevieve stone. These run
from $135,000 to $185,000.
1t has been suggested that the con-
troversy over the stone might be set
tied by Contractor Gill quarrying the
stone from some developed quarries
of the Burlington limestone belt in
southwest Missouri.
All that the commission wants is
the best limestone that can be found
in Missouri, and it is evident that the
members have made up their minds
that the Burlington stone is the high
est and best type of limestone quar-
ried in Missouri.
They are supported in this stand
by the preponderance of testimony Of
expert biologists.
The stone will have to come from
Carthage, Phenix, Cassville or Roar
ing River, neal Cassville.

AVERAGE PAY IS
STAB PER DAY
MISSOURI TEACHERS GET ABOUT
SAME SUM AS UNsKILLEp
LABoRERs.
COUNTRY CONDITIONS ARE BAD
More Money Is Needed and Interest
Of Parents Must Be Aroused
Reasons Why Schools
Are Poor.

Jefferson City.-The average salary
Of a Missouri school teacher for the
year ending June 80, 1918, was $517.46,
or approximately SLAB a day. This is
about the daily wage paid to unskilled
foreigners hired in gangs by railroads
and other corporations to do the low
est form of manual labor. 1t is not as
much as hodcarriers get and falls
short of the amount paid to American
unskilled laborers.
The annual report of William P.
Evans, state superintendent OF public
schools, shows there are 923 teachers
in Missouri whose salaries averaged
less than 5000 for the school year end
ing June 30, 1918, and that only 429
teachers out of 1854 drew more than
$500 a year. This latter figure In
cludes the salaries of superintendent,
principals and high school teachers in
the large cities and towns Of the state.
There are 1922 teachers whose
yearly salaries were between 5000 and
1929, Ats whose salaries were be-
tween $500 and 1899, 1872 received
between $500 and $499, 1,187 rec eived
between $500 and $500, 1927 received
between $500 and $799, 754 received
between $500 and 1899, 1,473 between
$1,000 and $1,199, 1858 between $1,000
and $1,499 and 429 who received
S $500 or more.
Discussing conditions of attendance,
Supt. Evans says in his report: Poor
attendance is due to indifference on
the part of the parents, combined with
poor teaching. The county sUperin-
tendents should strive to arouse the
parents and should raise the standard
for teachers and induce more teachers
to attend summer schools. There is
a close relation between efficient
teaching and regular attendance"
Three causes are assigned by Supt.
Evans for poor rural schools: Lack of
funds for employment OF competent
teachers, lack Of expert supervision,
and defective system of school organ
ization and administration.

passage to American coastwise ships.
1t was discussed in heated debate for
two hours, when the house adjourned.
