My old friend Hull since the days
at Acworth, has spent four years in
Nebraska and Colorado, and after
coming back to Georgia was with the
Southern Express Company seven
teen years. He has been for six
years in his present position with
Foster & Son. Wilt Carpenter is also
in Gainesville, at the depot with the
Nashville, Chattanooga and StLouis
railroad. Some day when dreams
come true" I'm going to drop off at
Gainesville and see these two old

There are numerous snobs in
Washington and they made them
selves manifest recently in an effort
to change the name of a street.
Running north directly in front
of the White House is Sixteenth
street. Property owners and resi-
dents thereon have sought to dub it
The Avenue Of the Presidents"
That sounds pretty swell.
A week or two ago a bill was be-
fore the Senate providing for the
change of name. A spirited debate
was in progress when Vice President
Marshall knocked the proposition out
with a bit of ridicule. He quietly
sent to one of the Senators who was
fighting the change an amendment

That put a crimp in the whole
scheme and Sixteenth street retains
its place name and snobbery

Once or twice she has dropped in at

cynosure of all eyes, made so by the
fact that she is the only woman in

the thing that puzzles me is, that

the snow beautiful?" and he was

Washington is indeed a beautiful
city when covered with snow. There
are so many marble buildings AMI
so many lovely parks and the Presi-

that a pretty name for the Presi-

suggestive of all that is pure in our

The boys use Capitol Hill for sled
ding. My own boy, who was up here
with me last winter, caught on TO
that fun with the first snow fall and
went belly-whopper down B street
with the rest. l thought of him ev-
cry time l saw the youngsters go
scooting by and it carried me back
to the old Slider Hill at Acworth.

Grafton knows anything about old
Slider Hill?
West of Acworth, on what was
then the Hunt farm, was a ridge
that edged the bottoms of Proctor
creek. 1t was high enough to be a
small mountain and was steep as a
gothic roof We boys used to shoot
down that hill on improyised sleds
like a shot out of a gun.
The old Slider Hill is there ye1,
but the boys are gone. These Wash

their painted sleds on Capitol Hi /
than we boys had with piece of
plank at Slider Hill, and we didn t
have to wait for snow either.

The name of Miss Villa P. Wales, a
graduate of the State University at
Boulder, has been added to the teach
ers' list since our last report. Miss
Wales will take the position made va
cant by the recent resignation of Miss
Eta M. King, who will teach in the
Colorado Springs schools.
The members of the Board of Educa-
ton gave the entire forenoon on We'd
nesday to careful inspection of the
schools with the view of making
changes to relieve the over-crowded
conditions in many of the rooms. At
the Liberty building, sixty pupils were
found in one room, seventy-nine in an
other and sixty-eight in another. 1t
was decided to require all fourth grade
pupils on North Twelfth street and
eastward to attend the Washington
school and the pupils of the same grade
in the territory south of the Santa Fe
track and west of the alley between
Sixth and Seventh streets to attend the
same school. 1t was necessary to or
der one-half day sessions in the first
grade in both the Washington and Lib
erty schools.
Lotus H. Ward will spend Sunday
with his parents, Superintendent and
Mrs. Ward, while en- route to an en-
gagement in Walsenburg, Colo, with
the Meister Singers. The routing of
the company takes the boys southwark
early in the season and they will not
appear in Rocky Ford until April %,
1915. The first number of the Lyceum
Course will be given in Rocky Ford on
the evening of Oct. 20.
The enrolment for the first day of
school exceeded that of last year by
thirty-eight pupils. This number
should have the attention of another
teacher, but the number in the teach
ing force is one less than that of last
year. The record is as follows: High
school, 1870; Liberty School, 432; Wash
ington School, l4;Lafayette School, 40;
Eureka School, 20. Total 1l05.
Many of the alumni have visited the
high school during the week. 1t is en-
couraging to hear of the large number
of students who will enter institutions
of learning this fall.

BETTER BASKETBALL
SPORT IS PROMISED
DURING THE SEASON
w o k in g Agreement Be-
tween Eastern League and
New York State Organiza-
tions Will Help.

Basketball followers are assured of
better sport both in this city and State
and New York. as tho managers of the
six clubs Of the Eastern League and
the leaders of the clubs of the New
York State League have formed Ma
tional Commission. The commission
came as the direct result of the New
York state League having its players
signed by Eastern League magnates
and by the jumping of contracts. Both
leagues signed an agreement yesterday
in New York.
After short discussion 1t was de-
cdcd to play worlds series between
the winners of both leagues, provided
the managers and players feel so in
clned. The schedule will be arranged
by the two presidents. namely. william
Jacob Scheffer, Of the Eastern League.
and A. Stack, of the New York state
League. Another agreement was that
any club of either league violating any
part of the agreement would be fined
800. which will go to the league not
at fault,
There was some little discussion over
the players who have been signed by
tne LbSleFn League CluDS. New YORK
agreed to let Reading retain Boggio,
who formerly played forward posi-
tion on the Gloverville five. F'rankel,
who had been released by club from
New York and signed by Trenton, was
allowed to remain with the Bengals,
who in return turned back Clinton and
Henschel to the New York League.
Roy Steele. who jumped to the Cam
den team, was allowed to remain in the
Eastern organization. Sedran. who had
signed with Greystock and who was on
the reserve list of the Utica five. will
be allowed until September 26 by the
commission to decide with which team
he will play. Grimstead, of Utica, and
signed by Reading, will also be allowed
to decide by letter on September 26,
Sugerman, who was signed by Grey
stock, was the cause of wordy tilt.
The Cohoes decided that if Sugerman
wanted to enter the Dental School OF
the University Of Pennsylvania they
would not waive n claim, but If he did
not enter college would demand his
services.

GOLF TITLE AMONG
JUNIORS AT STAKE
AT MERTON G. CLUB
Event of Importance Today
to Usher in Week of Sport.
Strenuous Bit of Work
Was Had Last Week.

Last week was one of the most strenu-
Gus of the season from a golhng point of
view, the open championship of Philadel-
phia at the Wbitemarsh Valley Country
Club and the invitation tournament of
the Philadelphia Cricket Club at st. Mar
tins providing some splendid sport. The
open championship brought out the best
field in the history of the event, although
as usual very few amateurs competed.
The success of the tournament was un-
doubtedly due to the fact that play was
extended to 50 holes instead of &c, as in
previous years, and that the prize money
amounted to 500. Tom Mcnamara, Of
Boston, gained very popular victory
with a fine score of 302 strokes for the y
holes Not single local professional
managed TO get in the money. although
Jack Campbell, OF Old York road. led The
field a the end OF the first days play.

The qualifying round of the invitation
tournament of the Golf Association of
Philadelphia for the Junior championship
of Philadelphia will be played at the Mcr-
ion Cricket Club today. On account OF
the opening of the schools 1t has been
deemed necessary TO change the sched-
ule somewhat. II was originally in
morning. but in order to give those who
attend school an opportunity to qualify
play will continue all day. The match
play rounds will also take place in the
afternoons instead of in the mornings.
The tournament should be a highly sue
cessful one. The young players OF this
city are at last making theirf presence
felt in competitions. Clement B. Web

believe. are eligible, have already made
a name for themselves and it will cause
no surprise at all if some remarkably
good scores are turned in.
The annual tournament for the Berthel-
lyn cup, presented by Mr.. Caleb f. Fox
will be competed for at the Huntingdon
Valley Country Club this week The
qualifying round will be played tomorrow,
and the match play rounds on Wcdnes-
day. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It
is probable that many of the women who
competed in the national championship
at Nassau will be on hand, and the
for the coveted trophy should
be exceptionally keen. Tomorrow, in ad-
dition to the qualifying round. there
will be a driving competition and a put
ting and approaching competition, while
on Friday there will be n mixed four
some.
