New Constitution Needed.

There is no mistaking the unani-
nifty of the sentiment that predomi-
mates among the members of the coun-
ty superintendents of schools conven-
ton in session last week.
The school men and women want a
new constitution for Missouri, and
they will stand as a body in favor Of
such a proposition. The restrictive
features of the present constitution,
they agree, is against adequate devel-
opment of the public school system,
especially the rural schools.

An examination of the new Frisco

The voting trust, which the pub
lie service commission said was I'M

plan with increased powers and the

According to figures from national

Missouri produced about SO per cent
of the lead output of the central
states. The Joplin region produced
16 per cent of the lead and 76 per cent
of the zinc of the central states in

Frank Moran's hackers to take up a

two heavyweights in the near future.
II was announced to-day that the pa
pers will be signed before the close

Billy" Gibson has offered Moran
Sl7,5O0 to fight Dillon, the battle to
take place in the Manhattan Opera
House. Johnny Weismantle. another
promoter, has secured an option OF
several baseball fields and is anxious
TO stage the fight outdoors.
The best part of tbc training work
this time Will be the fact that Moran
will be paid for it. Two moving pic
ture concerns have offered Frank
Sl,25O a week to pose for a fiVe-reel
movie which should take about four
weeks to complete. That will give
Frank about $4,000, in addition TO the
royalties. The movie will be built
around his training work, so that he
will be able TO be film actor while he
is getting into shape for Dillon.

WELEYSX ! g X;QoRNER

Baseball fans are not little con-
cerned about the Pennsylvania State
Baseball League. To date, Manager
George Cockill appears to be the only
manager who is showing any activity
in signing players. There is also a
general belief that York, Altoona and
Allentown will not have grounds ready
by May 10.
Thus far the League has met all eX-
penses and has not renigged on one
proposition. The promoters have been
slow in showing their hands, but 1t is
explained that just now certain feat
ures of the new proposition must re-
main a secret With a few days over
three weeks remaining to get teams
and grounds into shape, IL is not de-
MED that considerable activity must
be shown in order to start on sched-
ule time.
Organized baseball is the only
game that will succeed. 1t will be
known Wednesday regarding sprotec-
ton for the Pennsylvania State League.
If the application made last Friday
is received favorably, it is the belief
the Atlantic League Will have little
chance to get regular players. The
latter having been holding off for pro-
lection.
All records are being broken for in
terest in shooting contests in Harris
burg and vicinity II is estimated that
no less than 10, 900 targets and shells
were used in practice matches on
Saturday. The Pennsylvania Railroad
shooters will be out every Saturday.
Members of the Harrisburg Sports
mems Association will hold weekly
shoots and will coach the members of
the Tech High and Harrisburg Aca-
denny teams. On June 24-25 an Inter
State Registered shoot will be held at
Second and Division streets, and ii is
expected that many shooters, now
beginners will be lined up.

and that he gave his best efforts un-
der conditions offered him. Battling
Morgan has a reputation at Baltimore
and in other cities. Local fans know
this, and that is why they criticized
his work here. 1t is understood he
will be given another chance TO prove
his worth.
The meeting of the CovaIeskl boys
yesterday was the first time In many

brother in a pitchers box. 1t was back

pitching for Cincinnati, opposed his
brother, Frank Foreman of Baltimore.
In that case one was a right handler
and the other southpaw. The
Covalesllies have never been members
of opposing teams until this season.
1t is understood that the next show
of the Keystone Sporting Club booked
for April 25 will be held at later
date. Manager "Billy" Mehring is
anxious to have frankie Mcclure on
the bill and is negotiating for a fast
boy. He also promises something out
of the ordinary in a series of prelimi-
nary bouts. The first date mentioned
interferes with arrangements for

reason the show may come later.
