all the board has to do is just to
speak the word or touch the button
and conditions are changed, and that
the only reason conditions are not
changed is because they will not
speak the word or touch the button.
They overlook the disadvantages un-
der which the board has to labor and
the limitation of the school laws.
They should consider the scarcity
of money, lack of salaries and total
absence of city school system or
special tax district for Pensacola.
We hear people ask why certain
conditions exist and where is the
school board and what are they do
ing?" They do not realize that the
rural districts are taking steps in
advance of the city by voting special
taxation for schools, and that as far
as the law is concerned the city
schools are the most rural of our
schools, nor that our school board is
county school board and not city
school board.
The woman member of the board
would most probably inform the pat
rons along these lines and they would
be more charitable towards the board
off education as we'll as towards the
teachers.
WOMAN MEMBERS FITNESS.
There should be woman member
of the board because the majority of
the pupils are girls. She would be
able to plan more wisely for the girls
than do the men. Their health and
their games and sports would not be
neglected.
Teachers have a great deal Of trou-
bic in adjusting the temperature and
ventilation of the school rooms to suit
both boys and girls. The woman
member could probably help over
come this difficulty, if only by having
the boys and girls wear an equa
amount of clothing, or by having tn,
boys leave their coats off, or The
girls keep theirs on.
To be successful as a member o.
the board of education one SHOULD
know the actual conditions existing
in each district of his county, and, /
possible what steps to take to i'm
prove and bring them up to the high
est standard.
To do this it is necessary to visi
the various schools of the county ant
faniliarize himself with these condi
tions by coming in contact not onl,
with the teachers, but with the pat
rons and pupils.
The men on the board are too bus.

ALLOW JOHNSON
AND WATROUS TO
PLAY WITH YALE

New Haven, March 27-BilIy= Lau-
der, crack of the Yale baseball squad,
has had assurance by the Yale base
ball George B. Case,
Dutch Carter, g.sGiP' Greenway and
Tad Jones-that fWatrous and john
son, the two remaining members of
the squad, into whose eligibility for
this year an investigation has been
made, will be allowed to play with
Yale this year.
= These men played with the New
Haven CoIonia1s last summer. The
CoIoniaIs played for gate receipts ahd
against professionals. Some of the
games were played on Sunday. Wat
rous and Johnson have assured Pro-
lessor Corwin. chairman of the ath-
1etic committee, that they did not
share in the receipts and received no
board for playing, and therefore that
they are eligible for. Captain Vaughn
team.
Professor Corwin acquiesces in the
decision of the baseball committee,
and the incident is therefore closed.
However, the committee has also de-
cided that the men who have applied
for permission to play on the Colonia1s
next summer will not be allowed to
do so. This ends the eligibility ques-
ton at Yale, for which all are duly
grateful.

JESS WILLARD
SAYS he WON'T
BATTLE AGAIN

New York, March 27-Jess Willard,
the worlds heavyweight champion,
has probably fought his last fight The
10-round bout with Moran at the Car
den on Saturday night will mark the
end of the big pugi1ist's career if he
has his own way about his future
Willard is now well equipped with this
worlds goods, and he does not relish
ious to retire and settle down to a
quiet, home life.
/ Dave Lewinsohn of Chicago, who
was the secret Fstakeh oIder for the big
bout, said before he started for the
Windy City yesterday, that Willard
told him at the time he signed articles
to fight Moran that he would not enter
into any more bouts.
+ willard is a home man. said Lew
insohn yesterday, land when went
to him. some weeks ago, representing
Tex Richard. he was not anxious to
fight Moran. He was finally persuad-
ed to do SO by his manager and my
about it. Willard is rich man. He
has 100000 right now in Chicago
banks, and has invested $25, 900 more
in a fine home in Chicago.
1.-THE champion is very fond of his
family, and his children are growing
up and he wants to be with them as
much as possible. The contract he has
with the sel1s-F1oto circus for the
coming summer means $15O,O0O in
cash to him. and when that is fulfilled
think you will hear Jess announce
that he is through with the prize
ring forever.
when Jess signed to fight Moran
he said to me, Dave, I've got all the
money need. If I live to be a ripe
old age I will never spend all the
money 7 have now. I'm tired of the
excitement of the fighting game, and
want to settle down and lead quiet
life. My ambition has been realized
and have made the fortune I. wanted
to when I first took up fighting as a
business "
Willard left here for Chicago at
$3.50 yesterday afternoon and was all
impatience to get back to his family.
He could not be reached to be asked
If he intended to retire. He will not
give up the fighting game If his man
ager, Tom Jones, has his way, for
Jones said yesterday that Willard
would be willing to give Moran a re-
turn match if he wanted it, and would
also take on any of the ambitious
heavyweights if the consideration was
satisfactory.
Chicago, his right. hand was in sp1ints
and the fracture which he got in the
second round of the fight was giving
him considerable pain. His physician
told him that lie should not use the
hand for four or five weeks. WiIlard's
engagement with the circus will begin
on April 20 and he will give an exhi-
bftion bout with Walter Monahan at
each performance.

KAUFF'S HOMER
HELPS GIANTS
TRIM DETROIT

Dallas, Tex, March 27.-The Detroit
Tigers led the American league in hit
ting last year, but in the third game
Park. here yesterday afternoon, they
hit lust one ball into the outf1eld
That was an easy fly, which Benny
Kauff caught IN back of second base.
The causes of this woeful lack OF
hitting were Fred Anderson, the spit
ball pitcher who once wore the uni
form of the Buffalo Blues in the Fed
eral league, and Poll Perritt. The
Giants beat the Tigers by to 2, but
the victory was only incidental to the
great work of the pitchers
Anderson started the game and
worked for six innings. In that time
he allowed just three hits-miserable
inf1eld taps they were, but, with the
aid of those circumstances known as
the breaks of the game, were cashed
at the plate for two runs.
Poll Perritt in the three innings he
pitched did not allow the Tigers hit.
He took the cue from Anderson and
famed Sam Crawford. All in all the
Waho barber had a tough time of life
yesterday.
There can be no doubt in the minds
of the cynical now that Benny Kauf
is a. batsman. He started the Giants
on the right path by hitting the ball
right out of the lot. 1t sailed over the
screen that rises some six feet over a
124foot fence, clearing by six feet. 1t
came in the fourth inning with Doyle
on first base.

YANKS HIT HARD \
AND WIN CONTEST
FROM NASHVILLE

Nashville, Tenn, March 27-The
superiority of a trained body of men
over an unframed force was demon
strated here yesterday, when despite
the fact they were outnumibered IA
men to IL, the Mobile Yankee regu-
lars outmaneuvered the stationary
Nashville Volunteers. and won by to
2. 1t was the first Yankee victory
over a foreign foe this spring.
The Yahks showed a~lot of preju-
dice in their hitting. While they
permitted Tom Rogers and Wells,
NashvilIe's opening and closing
pitchers to escape without a scratch,
they heaped all their punishment on
the unfortunate middle man, Bill FL

tanning of his life in the fourth inn

The Yankee pitchers were Cliff

unteers matched the ten Yankee hits
against the pitching of this pair of
rocks" but could produce no fruit
for their efforts after the first inn
ing.

John L. Sullivan was the authority for
saying that Willard did not break his
hand by striking Moran and that the
bones were broken from the force of
the blows which were warded off by
Willard. Owing to the several advan-

have knocked Moran Nout in the sec

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

19OS-Charlie Neary Knocked out
Kid Farmer in End round at NEilwau-
kee. Neary, a native Of Milwaukee OF
German descent, was a star light
weight in his paImy days, while Kid
Farmer was a good man IN all diviH-
ions.in which he fought, from feather
weight up to middleweight Neary
was born in Nehring, while Farmers
real name was Benny Feinberg. The
Kid fought Neary again a few years
later in Davenport, and was again put
to sleep by the Teuton sluEger. Far
mer fought IT'S bouts in all, and lost
a very small proportion. Frequent
fighting and hard training brought on
tuberculosis, to which he succumbed
early this year. Neary defeated Bat
thing Nelson, Kid Broad and Kid Her
man in 1908, and fought two draws
with AureIio Herrera the following
year. He was knocked out only twice,
Jack Dougherty turning the trick in
1901, and Jimmy Briggs putting him
to sleep in Los Angeles, in 1906. He
was outpointed by Packey Mcfarland
in 1907. In his last important bout,
fought in Milwaukee in 1908, Neary
got a ten-round draw with Freddie
Welsh.

READING FIVE TO
TAKE ON RIBBONS
TOMORROW NIGHT

The Reading, Pa, players, cham
pfons of the Eastern league, will
clash with the Blue Ribbon basketball
players at Colonial hall tomorrow
night. The Reading boys are un-
doubtedlyl the strongest aggregation
that has ever appeared in this city.
They know the game from every
angle as fans who saw their last
game here cantestify. Haggerty, the
giant center, is probably the greatest
individual player in the game today
In spite of his enormous size he is
fast and is able to throw goals from
any position. Haggerty put it all over
George Smith in the last game here
so it will be interesting to see what
he does to Chris Leonard. -
Meyers and Sears of the Reading
five are two veterans who also excel
in shooting. The Ribbons haven't
much hope of winning but expect to
make the game close. There will be
a preliminary starting at 7:45: The
