MRS. PEEL TELLS OF
 BENTON TEACHERAIGE
Home for Teachers of Rural School Has Greatly Benefited the
 Entire Community.

Little Rock, Oct. 30,-Mrs. Frank w. Peel, of the Bentonville Sum-; de- livered an address before the Arkan- sas Federation of Women's clubs on "Arkansas' First Teacherage."
 Mrs. Peel, who is the only daugh- ters of H. l.. Cross, grand recorder of the A. o. IT. w., made an appeal for the election of two women on each school board, when equal suffrage Is attained, declaring that "one woman interested in school work can do the work of ten men," The School Im- provement association of the Morn ing Star district in Benton county has demonstrated this. In one, of the meetings last fall. the idea was ssus- gested that the teachers shntIf be housed on M the school grounds. Through the unEemitt ing ] forts of the ladies the, first teacherage@in the state was established there, and ,he idea llast mad < < tie disttict ;l rural community center.
 "rhere is not | disiraeses.s,l home in the district, said Mrs Peel, .anen, women and children all fosl as though they were, 3 par, of tils Hgreat work. The roads in iiilA district need ed to be kept in good condition to bring the children to and from school so every farm owner is more than glad to do his duty in road building. "People have so long been accus- toned to. think of the people who live in the country as having rural minds, that they have distinct rural per- sonality, but through the thoroughly well organized work of tho Morning Star $. I. A., one can readily see that th9 rural people are not to be con- sidered i'll class by themselves. but just another human being living closer to nature than their town friends, ss2a x, ; <. g.sssS K
 The money for the building was raised by the women in various ways, pie suppers. socials, and entertain ments. The school house was used during the summer by the twenty fthree active workers of the S. I, A. as a social and money making center. The building was started three l weeks before school began. much of the work being donated by the men of tho district. The lumber. paint. windows, doors. etc., cost $304. It Is now all paid for except $5O which will be raised by serving dinners in
 Bentonville during Fair Week. There ] is five acres of ground in the tract
 and it is being put to the best use.
 The teacherage is a cozy four-room cottage. with concrete foundation,
 front and rear '.porcifes and, pantry, The school spirit of the community has thus been raised to very high plane. ..%

that he was to get $4,000 a year, of
course, but that would have come
with his first salary check. He acted
hastily and l am sure he regrets It.
He signed contract with me, acting
as agent for Mr.. Ward, and 1t was
signed and witnessed. 1t is n legal,
binding document and will stand the
test of any court. Benny practically
admitted as much to me. Kaufr says
he Is willing to talk to Mr.. Ward,
and 1t may be that they will be
brought together soon and this whole
matter closed definitely without fur
ther trouble"
Mr.. Carroll had an itemized account
which he presented to Kauff with
the balance due him in salary for
the two-thirds Of a month. 1t read
that the league already had advanced
to Kauff $2S5, that Mr. Carroll had
advanced s76, that he had been fined
for a row at Newark $50, that the
Brookfed off1co had advanced $50, that
expressAge on Kauff's trunk had cost
1907 and that inoidentals at the
Hotel st. George, where Kaunf
stopped, amounted TO s1.4o, making
$47447 already drawn by tho player.
He had ss67.87 coming for the time
he had been playing, which would
leave the $192.20 balance that Mr..
Carroll tried to give him yesterday.
John McGraw refused to give out
statement concerning Kauff yes
terday, insisting that II was up to
the heads of the league and not him,
He did say that Kauff made II clear
to him that he was O free agent and
at liberty to sign with anybody.

White Sox in Chicago there were al
ways battles ropal and the two clubs
had war songs that rivaled the COL

MULLIN SAYS DETROIT TEAMS
SUNG THEIR WAY TO PENNANTS
Popular Pep Pitcher Tells of
Experiences With Jen-
nings's Team.
DID NOT LIKE MONTREAL

While George Mullin, veteran
pitcher, who made his name with the
Detroit Americans in their champion
ship fights. has worked only one game
at home for the Pops, he has made
himself solid with the fans by his
good work in that lone contest
George pitched against Buffalo and
defeated the Buffalo Blues In game
scored on.
1t was his SECOND victory of the
season. His previous win had teen
recorded at Baltimore over the Ter
rapins. George Is in better shape this
year than he was last season, and he
won the majority of the games he
pitched last year. 1t is his ambition
to show some of the major leaguers
that he is still far from being has
been.
For several seasons the Washing
ton Americans had been dickerlpg for
George Mullin when he was a mem
Der of the Detroit Tigers. Clark Grif-
fifth finally got George three years
ago, and 1t so happened that Mullin
got away to bad start With the
Washingtonians. Instead of holding
him Griffith decided that Mullin
should go to Montreal.
Rather than play there George de-
cided that he would quit baseball
Just about that time the Feds came
through and George signed with In
dianapolis. He was consistently good
last seasonEand proved invaluable in
emergencies.
George Is a cunning pitcher. He
says that the best dope in the world
in the pinohes is to put the ball
straight in the grooves. 'srhe other
fellow is not looking for anything
like that" said George, land you
have him completely off his balance
AS a member of the Detroit team
he had great pal in Charles Schmtdt,

NATIONAL LEAGUERS MAY SUE
FOR PEACE WHEN FEDS MEET

Kauff should be returned to the
Brooklyn club by the New York Ma
tionals. At the session were James
Gaffney, president of the Boston club;
Charles H. Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn club; William F. Baker,
president of the Philadelphia club;
Harry Hampstead, president of the
New York Giants; Barney Dreyfus,
president of the Pittsburg club; Sec
retary John A. Heydler and President
John K. Tener, Of the National
League.
Following the conference, 1t was re-
ported that President Hampstead was
in communication with President
Robert B. Ward, of the Brooklyn Fed
eral League team, over the telephone,
and 1t is believed the matter will be
settled very shortly

Instead of a war meeting at which
war measures will be adopted, the
hurriedly called conference of Federal
League officials in New York today
may develop into a conferance at
which the olive branch of peace may
wave. It was reported, in spite Of
denials, that there was to have been
a truce, and meeting at French Lick
Springs, Ind, in the near future, but
the Kauff matter has hastened affairs.
If Kauff Is returned to the Brook
feds, the Tip Tops certainly should

THREE DAYS. REST

Will Tackle st. Louis Terriers
in Double Bill To-
morrow.

A little more of the same brand of
weather that tho Pops have had dur
ing the past few days might mean
another trip to Valdosta, Ga. Then
again the rest might have just the
opposite effect. For Vim Campbell and
, Bill McKechnie. who jumped into
the game without training, it should
mean q recreation period, for the pair
were a bit stale from their strenuous
exertions.
Today and tomorrow the st. Louis
Terriers will crowd In three games
of their series. A single contest is
scheduled today, with a double bill
, tomorrow. The Federal League
crowds for the last two Sundays have
been excellent, and with a double
header az the attraction, the attend
ance should surpass all Sunday rec
ords for Newark II tho weather is at

Tho pitching problem has not been

ley did not make a great showing In
the only contest he worked here, but
he has been working his arm
out carefully every day, and he is
anxious to show the fans that he was
not right the day the Baltimore Ter
rapins did things to his delivery.
The high Federal League scores
which the funny men" try to make
so much of have not been confined to

the results of the regulars any day
will show. There is moro excuse for
such scores, however in the Federal
League than in the organized majors.
! In the regulars ranks the players
| for the most part know each other.
The pitchers and catchers know the
strong and weak points of the bat
ters and the outfielders know just
where to play for the long drives
that might go for extra-base hits if
they did not diagnose the batter cor
rectly.
Little Dope on Pitching.
When a now conner joins a team the
only way the pitcher and catcher
have of Judging his weakness is to
watch the way he swings his bat. If
they guess wrong and he clouts one
they are more careful the next time
so as not to pitch in his groove"
The talk of certain batter being
able to slough fast one and being
weak on curve does not hold good
In the majors. One pitcher might
throw his fast ball with an entirely
different motion than another and the
batter might hit it in an entirely diff
ferent way
Some twirlers throw overland and
some half side arm-hence the differ
ence. The talk one might hear about
a fellow being bad on curve balls
might be true, but such a man seldom
lasts very long in the majors unless
he is a sensational fielder and comes
through in the pinches.
The first game tomorrow will be
called at 1;45 o'clock. Today the sin
gle contest Is scheduled to begin at
