that since the store of Mr. Albert

MEETING OF TEACH
ERS' ASSOCIATION
AT KINGSTREE SATURDAY-.-A
LARGE ATTENDANCE AND
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN.

A meeting of the Williamsburg
County Teachers association was
held in the court room at noon Sat
urday. 1t is said to have been one OF
the largest and best meetings the
association has ever held. There were
thirty-seven principals and teachers
present, which number was greatly
augmented by the presence of trus'
tees from various schools in the
county.
The chief object of the meeting
here Saturday was to consider the
advisability of holding a Field Day
meet this year, also reorganization
of the association, which was effected
land the following officers elected:
President, j G Mccullough; vice
president, w Swittenberg; secre-
ry, Miss Agness M Erckmann.
The president appointed a stand
ing committee to prepare a pro-
gramme for each meeting. This
commi ttee is composed of Mr. 0 M
Mitchell and Misses Leila Morgan
and Sara James.
The trustees present were called
on for an expression of their opinion
regarding Field Day and whether it
should be continued as day of OBJ
servance by the county's schools.
They unanimously agreed that it was
q good thing and thought it should
be observed.
Mr. Mccullough called for express
sions of opinion regarding the fea-
lures to be incorporated into the
programme for the celebration of
the day,
In a pointed response Mr. O M
Mitchell advocated: first, reducing
the number of contestants in each
event to one from each school; Sec
ond, forbidding any school to take
any time from its regular work to
prepare for the events; third, each
school trying to have an athletic
field on which to practice. He also
advocated doing away with school
exhibits as a feature of the Field
Day programme, inasmuch as the
schools are expected to make similar
exhibits at the county fair. Mr.
Swittenberg agreed with Mr. Mitch
ell and suggested that it might be
we'll to hold Field Day exercises du-
ring fair week instead of in the
spring, as was done last year.
There was some discussion regard
ing the elimination of the exhibit
feature, bat it was finally decided by
the association to discontinue that
part of the programme.
A motion by Mr. Mitchell TO the
effect that no part of the working
time Of any school be used in pre-
pairing for any Field Day event, and
that the number of contestants IN
each event be reduced to one from
each school" was unanimously adopt
ed.
A committee will later be appoint
ed by the president of the associa-
ton to prepare a programme for
Field Day. This committee will be
composed of the president and as
many others as he wishes to assist
him in the work.
The next meeting of association
will be neld on February 26.

tically every member of their regular
teams will be on hand again. George

men in it's lineup. but Gallaudet will
be very fortunate in another season in
having back its whole squad, practi-

to be on the firing line for the Hatchet-
ties next fall.
Maryland state loses good men in
ton, Derrick and Coggins, but the
squad as whole will be stronger than
usual. Three Of the four regular mem
bers Of the backfield were freshmen
and the other was sophomore. All
five ends used during the past season
alternated with Williams at center;

teams will be back, the standard OF

Claim Placed in Court Against

NEW YORK, December l3-Last

York and got all sorts of publicity.
much of it detailing what Benjamin
intended to do to the opposing pitchers
of seven National League clubs. This
winter Benny first intended to remain
in New York, and then decided that
the quietness of Liverpool. Ohio, was
to be preferred to city life and more
publicity. So he hied himself west
ward for quiet winter.
Now it appears that Benny is not to
have the quietude and escape the pub
licity. He has been made defendant
in suit for 5000 brought by one Louis
Cohen. who was chief adviser to the
slugging outfelder in the stormy days
when he was hopping from the Brook
lyn Feds to the Giants and then back
again. Cohen deposes that he has not
been paid in full for his services"
Kaun was served with a summons to
answer in the municipal court for
$500 His attorney. John NJ. Ward, has
filed a demurrer to the summons, and
it is possible that Kauff may remain

the case, the suit undoubtedly will bob
up again as soon the Giants return
home.
Cohen alleges that he was to receive
$500 for acting as manager and press
agent for the ball player. The mana

That Fred Mitchell. now coach of the
Braves pitchinff staff. will manage the
cubs next season was practically as
sured yesterday. but the decidedly es-
sential factor of Chicago getting the
release of it's leader-to-be from Boston
still stands in the way. Charles w.
Weeghman. president of the Chicago
club. yesterday arranged terms with
Mitchell. The matter of reaching an
agreement with Percy Haughton of the
Boston club was not so easily con-
summated.
The Chicago club. having refused to
give Cy Williams, the outfielder, and a
goodly sum of money, the Boston club
changed its demands and asked for
Leslie Mann and Jim Vaughn. a first
string pitcher. At this Weeghman also
balked. \ definite decision will be
reached today. Chicago holds the up

officials do not want to stand in the
way of his advancement.

ranch. Frank Chance could have had
the place had he not insisted on get

PRODUCTIVE OF STORIES
Golf Peculiar Game in Regard to
Variety and Number Of Yarns
-t. Concerning It.

Golf is one of the most peculiar of
games in regard to the number and
varieties of stories told concerning IT.
Jock Hutchison. who is claimed by a
great many persons to be the best golf
er in the country today. had funny
experience when youngster, at the
Walton Heath Club of Scotland. The
news of the world tournament quali-
fication round had just been finished.
and Jock desired to get little practice
before the match play rounds started,
so he went to Jimmie Braid's shop.
where was stationed famous club
maker and fine player, one who had
won several minor championships
utchison. then a youth of nineteen.
rather difidently asked the clubmaker
to come out and have a game. but the
latter not bit backward. told Jock
that he was afraid he (Jock) would
not give him a game. Braid happened
TO stroll into hearing. and spoke up for
Hutchison, telling his clubmaker that
he PROBABLY would have more on his
hands than he bargained for. Hutchi-
son went out and beat his opponent
1-6
Another concerns Harry Vardon and
Braid Duncan Snd Mayo. two OF the
younger crop OF British professionals,
mad been having great success as a
foursoule combination and challenged
the world to a no ne and home match
~ seventy-two-hoIe match play. The
Old foursome had but two balls and the
players alternately struck at the ball
The twelfth hole at the first course
over which the match was played was
go yards long with very fast green
and bunker just off the edge TO the
right and one in the rear. Each time
Mayo played the hole he put his part
ner in the bunker behind the green. and
seeing the result of the shot Jimmie
Braid asked Vardou to put his ball in
the hazard to the right as the green
sloped high at the back. The result
was that VarIon and Braid won the
hole in each case, as IL was not possible
to stick the green after getting
out of the bunker at the rear.
