OUACHITA COACH
 OFFERS APOLOGY ADMITS CONDUCT UNFAIR Requests Hendrix to Permit Apology to Diamond Men for "Nagging"
 In Mondays Game.

Coach Morley Jennings, member of the Ouachita College faculty and 1 athletic director at that institution for the past several years, today re- quested of Hendrix College permis- sion to apologize to individual mem bers of the Hendrix team toward whom he maintained unfair and un- sportsmanlike conduct in yesterdays game. At Hendrix it was said that the conduct of Coach Jennings was under serious investigation and wit nesses had been called to appear be- fore the college faculty to detail ac- tually what did occur during the progress of yesterdays game. Jen- nlngs made his representations to Hendrix College officials early this morning Official action by the heads of the college will depend upon the nature of the reparation which he shall make for his alleged unfair conduct.
 Jennings occupied the side lines when the Tigers were at bat, and his efforts, spectators said, were directed chiefly at breaking the nerve of Smoky" Dunn, the Hendrix pitching star, who stayed the full nine innings in the face of Jennings alleged nag ging" and the work of the Ouachita batsmen. Hendrix students today freely declared that Jennings re- marks were of most profane nature although spectators, including a large number of ladies and girls, were in the nearby stands. Dunn did not no tice the Ouachita coach, and it was the proud boast of the Hendrix clan today that their favorite stood up un- der what Jennings himself is said tc have admitted to have been unfair and unsportsmanlike conduct.
 Hendrix officials regard the alleged episode in serious light. Extreme care has always been observed at the college to keep athletics on a plans of fairness and sportsmanship. IL was said that the conduct which Jen- nings is alleged to have contributed to the game constituted the first in cident on the Hendrix campus al which the most critical spectators ' could take exception.
 It was not known at the college this

Dunn and his teammates it was said took the "nagging' as thorough sports and fought the game out to the bitter end.
 Sport followers look upon the incl dent yesterday as one of the worst to occur in Arkansas sport annals As a member of the Ouachita faculty a professional baseball player and a veteran coach, some surprise is ex- pressed that Jennings should bt charged with the offenses which 1t is said are being piled against him.

''To be sure she does" answered the
innkeeper. I'm yonder wood she has her
home'
Then I will call on her." said Puss.
"for tbs many months since l have seen
the dear old lady" And after that he
set out, and by and by he came to a
nice little cottage, and the first person
he saw was Mother Goose's Gander stand
ing outside. And when he saw Puss, he
tapped his wings and made a great
noise, and this, of course, brought
Mother Goose herself to the door.
Little mice and ginger snaps" ex-
claimed the old lady, IF this isn't my
little friend Puss in Boots!'' And she
picked him up and gave him a big hug,
and this made Puss feel so happy that
he began to purr just the way he used
to do when he was a little kitten and
had never worn red-topped boots, nor
travelled through Mother Goose and
Fairy Land.
And what is my little pussy cat do
ing?" asked the old lady, as she sat
down on the bench outside her cottage.
"Oh, I'm seeking my fortune" replied
Puss Junior.
And then Mother Goose laughed, for
she knew that any one who was search
ing for a fortune would never find It,
You must work, little cat" she said.

You remember in the last story that
Puss Junior fell asleep in "Cuddle Inn,"
and now I'll tell you what happened
when he woke up.
What will you have for breakfast,
Sir Cat?" asked the innkeeper, who was
great fat goose. And after Puss
looked over the bill Of fare, he ordered
a nice meal, and when that was I'm
ished he wiped his whiskers on the snow
white napkin.
Are you in search of any one?" asked
the innkeeper, who seemed very much
interested in his pussy cat guest.
Does Old Mother Goose live near
here?" asked Puss, lifting his hat with

Fortunes are never found. but they are
often NADER Which is very true, when
you come to think of it,
Well, after Puss had spent nearly the
whole day with dear Mother Goose, he
set out once more on his journey, and
by and by he met a pretty maid, who
dropped him a curtsey.
Where are you going, my pretty
maid ?" asked Puss, with bow. "rm
seeking my fortune, Sir Cat" she re-
piled.
"Oh, don't do that" said Puss. "Only
a few hours ago Mother Goose told me
one must work to get fortune" And
just then a big wagon drove up with
yellow wheels.
Jump in" said the driver, 'and
will take you to the city" So Puss and
the pretty maid seated themselves on the
front seat with the kind driver and away
went, and in the next story you shall
hear what happened after that.-Copy-
