GOVERNOR BR0UGH OFFERED
PRESIDENCY

The Commercial-Appeal Of Satur-
day says:
Governor Charles II. Brough, of
Arkansas, last night received tele-
gram rendering him the presidency
of the Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College. The governor
declared that he had not decided
whether to accept the offer or not.
The tender came while Governor
Brough was in Memphis, where he
had come to deliver the principal adj
dress to the members of the gradu-
ating class of the Vocational High
School.
Governor Brough declared that he
felt highly flattered by the offer.
but it came so unexpectedly and with
so little warning that he was unable
to determine hurriedly what course to
pursue. He is native of Mississip-
pi, and spent his early years at Clin-
ton, almost in the shadow of the State
Capitol.
1t has been known for some time
that Governor Brough's name was un-
der consideration for the place left
vacant by the recent resignation of
Prof. w. H. Smith, who brought the
Starkville institution to the forefront
among colleges of an industrial char
acter. 1t has also been known for
some time that the governor had made
at least tentative arrangements to
accept a position with the projected
Arkansas Chamber of Commerce at a
salary of $4,000 year after his ten
ure of office ends on December 81,
1920.

RAINS HAVE PREVENTED
OPENING OF CITY LEA
CUE THUS FAR.
TW ATTEMPTS
Opener Win Come Tuesday Aft
ernOOn With Double Header.
Big Crowds Expected
For Games.

Jupiter Pluvius is still batting
thousand.
The God Of Rain has lowered over
the City League on three opening
dates, playing a consistent jinx role
against the opening of the season.
Now, if it don't rain, the opening
games will be played Tuesday after
noon when a double bill will be stag
cd.
Both games will be postponed gam
es and the regularly scheduled game
for Tuesday will be set aside and
played later. This arrangement was
made so as not to work hardship
on any of the teams by games being
set too close together.
The first game Tuesday afternoon
will be called at $3.50 and it will be
between the High School and the Re-
tailers. At 5 o'clock the second game
will be called and it will be between
the Southern Shops and the Chero
Colas.
With the playing of the two post
poned games Tuesday the schedule
will be only one game behind. This
will be the game scheduled for Tues
day and it will be played off later in
the season.
Tuesday will be the first day the
stores will elose at l o'clock and, no
doubt, the games will be witnessed
by record breaking crowds.
1t will be the opening games of
the season and should be patronized
by every fan in the city.
The league is behind in funds and
everyone is asked to chip in literally
when the contribution boxes are pass
ed around Tuesday. 1t is free baseball
and the contributions are strictly
voluntary, but make your volunteer
ing just as liberal as possible.
