There are but few officers in
the affairs of the county admin
istration that woman is allow
ed 10 fill, but there is one office
she can fill as we'll if not better than
a man and that is county superin-
tendent. In many counties through
out the country no one need apply
for this office save a woman For
instance in the State of Nebraska,
out Of 1lS Superinfendents ninety
one are women. SO there is no ar
gument necessary to show why a
woman should be elected as super
intendent. Even in this new state
OF Oklahoma p out of n Superin-
tendents are women. and sentiment
is growing in their favor and no
argument why she should not, AMI
none whatever against woman
holding this responsible position.

Score Five in Second.

Good hitting and some rather slovenly
fielding by the Browns outfield allowed
the Nationals to get a bunch of runs in
the second inning. Shanks opened it with
a walk Morgan dropped a little fly in
left which neither the in or out fielders
reached, and Shanks was on third while
Ray pulled up at second. McBride's S
srounder to Miller, new third baseman,
was badly messed up. and then Williams
came through with a clean single TO right
which f. Walker allowed to get aWay
from him. the ball rolling to the fence.
That cleared the bases. johnson brought
Williams home with triple to left CEN
ter, and when Moeller drove a long fly to
Shotten ii served as a sacrifice and John

inning
The reception given johnson by the
Browns in the second half of this inning
was rather unusual. Leary started mat
tiers with hit, and. after Wares had flied
out. Agnew came along with another
drive. Mitchell followed suit. sending
Learv home, and then Shotten forced
Mitchell by the Morgan Mcbride route.
But Miller and Pratt came through with
clean hits; two runs Were over and the
bases full when f. Walker hit d .rounder
at second Nor were the Browns satisfied
with this hitting against Johnson
Clarence Wall1e;- oyened the third with a
elean-cut triple TO right center, and when
Johnson uncorked wild pitch he came
home with the Browns hnal run. There
were four other occasions later in the
game when base hit would have played
havoc with the Nationals two-run lead
In the fifth. for instance. Walker got his
second hit with two down. and stole sec

hit, but again an intield force out relieved
