some quarters that Speaker Flowers
has gubernatorial ambitions, but If
their ambitions are realized it will not
be because of their legislative work.
Both are good fellows, and in the case
OF Speaker Flowers all speak OF him
with respect, but both are sufferlng
under handicap and the handicap is
the very body of which they are
part. Representative Spooner, it is
reported, still has the congressional
bee, and in the senate friends say
Senator Sageng would not be adverse
to trying for the governorship four
years hence.
The house has passed the Moeller
bill permitting boxing exhibitions and
the senate was gracious enough to al
low its advancement to the calendar.
What the finals will be, however, is
another thing. While the manly art
has been under the ban for some
years in Minnesota it is surprising the
number who hope for it's legalized
return. For two weeks now friends
of the Moeller measure have been
bearing down on house and senate
members to support the measure and
the feature of the whole thing is that
those active in the matter are not en-
tirely confined to the sporting element.
| have seen any number of so called
business men advocating it.

RAIN PREVENTS
TEAM PRACTICE
Both High School and Nor.
NAL Squads Have Hard
Games Ahead.

Rain again prevented football prac-
tice at the South Side Park yesterday
afternoon. No doubt both the Fair,
mont Normal and the High School
players welcome the rest for a few
days to recuperate after the slight in,
jurics that every team is bound to
sustain in hard game.
The High School team will need
practice for the Warrington game
Warrington defeated Washington lrv'
ing High by the score OF 90 to O.
Shinnston won from the Clarksbure
school by the score of 8 to 0. Fair
mont trimmed Shinnston to the tune
OF - to 0. Therefore on comparative
scores Z the Warrington team is II
points to the good over Shinnston
making the same team 5 points bet
ter than Fairm0nt.
But delving into comparative scores
for dope is very often wasting time
as depicted In the Washington and
Jefferson game against Geneva and
the West Virginia University against
the same team.
Wash.Jeff won from Geneva 6 to O.
West Virginia and Wash-Jeff tied TO
s, but the Mountaineers ran up 32
points on the Geneva eleven last Sat.
urday. This shows the futility OF try,
Ing to dope the results in football
encounter or scores made.
With the lineup that Sharadin puts
in the game for Fairmont there is a
likelihood that Warrington will have
to go some TO show the same class she
