School Will Have Second
Daily Paper Published by
Any School in U. S.

The Vocational Daily is the title of a
daily newspaper to be published by the
students at the Crockett Vocational
high school. The first issue of the pa
per will be issued within the next few
days, and, according to the principal,
Prot. j. l.. Highsaw, Il will be the
second daily paper published by high
school students anywhere in the United
States.
Installation /of standard machine,
donated to the vocational school by
the lntertype company, has about been
completed and in addition to being
used for the purpose of instructing
students In linotyping, the machine
will be used for setting up the Voca-
tional Daily as well as the Craftsman,
semimonthly publication of the vo-
cational school,
Equipment of various kinds is being
installed in the new workshops at the
vocational schol and when complete
the printing shop will inventory $4,000
and will include cylinder press.
stitching machine, electrical paper cut
ting machine and linotype.
Report forms Of all kinds, stationery,
advertising matter, official publica-
tons and notices for the entire school
are printed In the schools own shop
thereby not only furnishing the pupils
in this department an opportunity for
practical experience but effects a large
saving in printing bills for the school
system.
The Vocational Daily will be issued
every school day at noon, and will be
sold to the students of the school at
| cent per copy. Among other things

IA ~ no nrtnPinal
the R. o. 7. Co a column of jokes and
the last page will contain 1.-The news
Of the, world in nutshell
The staff will be composed of stu
dents in journalism and English and,
in order to afford as large number
portunity to assist In its publication a
very novel plan has been adopted. An
editor with four assistants has been
named for each Of the five school days
and this editor and his staff will be
held responsible for the publication OF
the paper on his particular day.
This plan, 1t will be seen, places %
pupils on the editorial staff and, In ad-
dition will not require too much time
for any one student. 0Ae of the staff
members will be known as the conden-
sation editor. II will be his duty to
select from the three Memphis daily
papers the news Of the world and con-
dense il for publication on the last
page of the Vocational Daily.
Prof Highsaw expresses the belief
that the work to be done on this page
alone will afford splendid training for
the students and will give all of the
students of the school the news of the
world in such form that it can be read
quickly and easily.
Practically all classes at the Voca-
tional high school are filled to capacity
and even in the new fines of work that
have been taken up the classes have
filled rapidly and despite the fact that
there are virtually three schools--morn

Contract is Awarded for New
Garage Building Of Albert Leon

The contract has just been awarded
for the building of a new garage, fin
ishing shop and shipping place for
Albert Leon, the furniture dealer of
State and Smith streets. The new
building is to be 35x150 feet, built
absolutely fireproof and to be connect
ed with the present warehouse To-
Gated on Paterson street between
Brighton avenue and State street.
The constant growth of the Leon
furniture business has forced Mr.. Leon
to larger quarters. The garage,
which is located at the present time
adjoining the warehouse proper, will
be moved out into the new garage,
which will have room for six delivery
trucks. The new finishing shop will
be 50x30 feet mi the shipping, room
will be 30x40 feet. This will insure
easier and better handling of goods.
The new building will have every inn
provement. The original building,
which Is 75x75 feet, will be devoted
entirely to the warehousing of furni-
ture.
The growth of this business has
been phenomenal. Six years ago Mr..
Leon took the entire building on the
corner State and Smith streets, which
is now the lrgeast mercantile building
in the city. Business has grown TO
proportions that more room had
to be had for the warehousing and
shipping, with the result that this
building is now being constructed. II
Is expected that the new building will
be in operation about June 18th.

battle.
Probably it would have been a
hurlers' duel all the way if Swede
Risberg hadn't made two miscues
in about two minutes during the
fourth round. The teams were
fighting on even terms then, each
side having one run. The Browns
should have made no trouble in
that inning, but the Chicago short
stop gave them the chance.
,Tobin led off with a single and
Cicotte made Sisler foul off a cou-
pie in his attempt to bUnt. Then

In another moment Jacobson

There was a chance for a quick
play to third to nail Sisler. 1t look
ed like Risberg intended to make
it. but in his hurry he fumbled and
lost the chance for any kind of
play. Two singles followed. one
by Smith. which scored Sisler. and
one by SEVERED, which scored ia

The Browns got another run
along in the seventh, but the same
conditions would have come up if
the Sox had set them down in the
fourth as they should have done.
1t was an uphill battle from the
fourth on, with the Sox playing for
two runs instead of one. and they
never displayed sufficient punch to
get one.
Nine blows were registered off
Weilman's slants, but most of them
were wasted. The SoX seemed able
to swat when no one was on, but

CARDSLOSE OUT
IN LAST ROUND
TO CUBS, 8 TO z
Large Number of TWirIers Used In
Proportion to the Number of
Hits in Game.

Chicago. June %. - Les Mann
bounded a two base hit over third
with FIack on second and one man
out. in the last half of the ninth
inning Yesterday, and that swat
ended the third game of the Cub
Card series just as it was about to
become an overtime battle. Score,
8 to 2.
1t was a peculiar combat on ac-
count of the quantity of pitchers
used proportionate to the output
of bingles. Two of them carried
the game along to the eighth in
ming; then three more were rung
IN before it was over.
Phil Douglas apparently had the
Cards at his mercy up to the sew
enth inning, and the two early runs
which the Cubs had scored for him
locked quite sufficient, in spite OF
a little excitement in the sixth
spasm. But in the seventh the Wis
itors whaled Mr. Phil so hard they
tied the count at 2-all, and in the
eighth they threatened to score a
lot more. so Abe Lincoln Bailey
was sent to save the day. He did.
Opposed to Douglas was Bill
Bolden, a husky native OF Tennes-
see and an aIumnus of Lincoln
Memorial college, who gave the
Cubs a stiff argument and demon
stration that he has some pitching
wares worth looking over.
It was Bolden's first game above
the semi-pro class. and he might
have STAYED off the defeat in the
ninth if he had been permitted to
stick to the slab. But the 1nev1ta-
BILE tragedy appeared and three diff
ferent Cards hurled in the ninth in
ming to three different Cubs.
Flack, first up in the final round,
was given a pass by BOlden. Sher-
del then assumed the slab assign
ment, and pitched to Pick until
Charlie sacrificed MAX to second.
Sherdel then was yanked and Leon
Ames, WHO worked in both games
the day before, was sent to relieve
him.

third base and Shotten merely

ing it. as Flack crossed the pan
