East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-03-15

There Is decided resentment over
the action Of the school board in Sc.
lecting a new city school superintend-
ent without giving notice such action
was intended and It Is being freely
suggested on all sides that before clos
ing any contract with a new man the
board should consider the matter
more fully with a view to securing the
very best man available. 1t is sug-
gested that applications should be Sc
cured from a wide field and the sal
airy raised so as to be on a par with
the salaries paid by other eastern
Oregon towns Of Pendleton's class, In
this way 1t is believed a man can be
secured who win give the schools
prestige and redeem the present un-
favorable situation.
Hampton Eliminated.
Since the action OF the board re-
moving Prof Hampton was taken he
is considered as eliminated from the
contest and no effort is being made
with view to having him retained.
Mr. Hampton himself takes the view
he is entirely out Of the race.
To sound sentiment as to what peo'
pie think Of the boards action the
East Oregonian questioned a number
Of prominent local people today.

and some favorable TO him. With a

NEW YORK, March 2.-After fve
days Of training. Jess Willard. the heavy
weight champion Of the world. has dis
covered that he is not getting rid of his
surplus avoirdupois as rapidly as he ex-
pected. In fact, willard weighs just
about as much as he did when he first
came to town. - q,
The champion and his manager Tom
Jones, realized yesterday that the course
of training that Willard has been fol-
lowing was not strenuous enough. In
tho morning Willard extended the dis
tance of his road work. and ran around
Central Park until he had covered about
eight miles.
In the afternoon, when he went to the
Pioneer A. c., in Forty-fourth street.
for his gymnasium work, Jones decided
that the champions road work had been
SO hard that he would have to cut short

Then the title holder was so tired that
he gladly hurried to his room to be

Jess willard went In for a little real
ism yesterday at the Pioneer Sporting
Club. Just as he was finishing the sec
ond round with Walter Monahan. the
champion measured his sparring part
ner with the left and suddenly whipped
over a right cross. Monahan dropped
so naturally that It seemed as though
the fall hardly could have been re-
| hearsed.
