TWO HIGH SCHOOLS
0UTF0R new HOME
Business and Tech to File
Briefs Telling of Ur-
gent Needs.

OfficiaIs Of the business High School
Alumni Association this week will
present to the board of education a
printed brief outlining conditions at
the school necessitating a new. build
ing. it was learned last night.
The bries will set forth the need
for an entirely new institution In a
section of the city where future ex-
emphasized that the present building,
occupying the whole block bounded
by Rhode Island avenue. 9th. Sth and
streets. is greatly congested and
that there Is no space adjoining the
school where an addition to house
the overflow of students could be
erected. \
The board of education had this
matter brought to its attention by
Principal Allan Davis at the time
for school needs. 1t is known that
the school authorities have given
much thought to the congestion
problem at Business High School.
and it is understood that the plan
TO draw up formal brief for exam
ination by the board members came
in response to suggestion from
these officials.
Tech Brief Already Filled.
At the same time the board has be-
fore it a printed brief showing the
crowded conditions at Mckinley
Manual Training School. prepared by
Il special committee composed Of
alumni. members Of the faculty aua
representatives of the student body
of that school. Tech also wants
new building and appears to be as
determined to get it as does Business.
The board members. consequently.
must judge from the briefs presented
in behalf of the two schools. not the
merits of each case. since the plants
of both are recognized as sincere. but
which case is the more imperative.
1t is believed the chances of obtain

mates for one of the buildings prob
ably would be favorably received.

Secretary Weeks and Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt had a conference
at the War Department yesterday in
regard to the application Of the law

In the War Department. for in

eX-service men was exercised in all
cases where the ratings are excel

noG - cases where the rating Is
"poo3." The same practice prevails
in some of the other departments.
In the Navy Department and sew

PARDON RECORD OF
 M'RAE STILL BLANK

Little Rock, March 26.-Governor McRae is canny Scothman who is noted for his seriousness, yet his sec retary has perpetrated joke in the executive office which attracts much attention on the part of the gover- nor's more intimate friends. Since he entered upon the duties of his office on January 12, he has not granted single pardon, communication of sen- tence or remission of fine. This is in accord with one of his campaign prom ises that he proposed to go slow in extending executive clemency to per- sons convicted of violating the law. Yet his secretary has in his desk a small pigeon hole marked "Pardons" to which he proudly refers as the gov ernor's pardon record. Up to the present time the pigeon hole is ab- solutely vacant and there is little pros pect that it will ever become too small for the purpose.

BULLDOGS SUBOUE OLD STARS, g 10 1 WHITES PITCHING FACTOR Home Corners Solve Moundman for One Bingle in Opener-Final
 Game Played Today.

Bill" White, hero of no hit game
 against the naughty Ouachita Tigers
 last year, almost duplicated the feat l Friday afternoon when his sterling
 mound work let the home corners down with only one hit and brought home the 1921 Bulldogs as winners, 9 to 1. Peanut" Donnell, whose bat always did carry a mighty wallop, garnered the only safe bngle off White. At all stages, White was master of the situation.
 W. M. Headriek, .ormer coach of the Bulldogs, had charge of the home corners and managed his men to the best advantage. However, hitting of the Babe" Ruth type would have been required to offset the steady hurling by White.
 More stars joined the home coming clan this morning and the final game this afternoon promises to prove livelier than the first. Flynn Owen, who was the Hendrix pitching staff all by himself at one time, is in town. James J. Harrison, former Bulldog catcher, is another arrival The line up may be made over in carrying out the determination of the visitors to even the honors with their successors as Orange and Black athletes.
 Tom Johnson of Dardanelle, who formerly held an outfeld berth with the collegians, scored the sole mark CT chalked against Whites delivery. Johnson was granted life when New ton missed his third whiff. Estes Simmons bounced an infield roller on which Williams attempted to catch Johnson at second Mann, however, miscued and Johnson kept travelling to the third station. Bennie Mayo came up as a pinch hitter. White promptly walked Mayo, and Carl Hen derson eased the suspense by a sac rifice which brought Johnson home. This was the one tight place in which White was caught. Score:

BOXING FANS EAGER
 FOR GREATEST BOUT"
(By United Press)

New York, March 26.-The Demp- ey-Carpentier contest is going to be the greatest sporting event in his tory, Tex Rickard believes. The worlds greatest boxing promoter talks of his pet match with all the pride of a father in a prodigy son.
 t is quite apparent that he rated it as a first class attraction from the start when he was willing to put a half million dollar collar around his neck to make the match. Rickard smiles in the face of problems that would drive the ordinary man to a brain expert. He is supremely con- fident that he will make enough mon- ey off the "battle of the age" to pay him for his time and trouble
 '''I had this match in mind the night that Jack Dempsey knocked out Jess Willard in Toledo," he said today. "Tve kept my hand on the public pulse since that day and I was so sure that it would be winner that I was willing to stake a fortune on it.
 Sport followers worship idols in their own modern way. The turnstiles of the baseball parks and the track when Babe Ruth and Man O War per form indicate just as much tribute to the modern gods as the burning of incense in the olden days.
 Everyone admires the perfect man, the perfect fighter. The same thrill of combat that used to bach the am- pitheatre in Rome when the gladiators fought, fills the modern stadium for football and boxing, the modern form of showing physical superiority.
 Dempsey and Carpenter are per feet types of manhood in two widely different forms-Dempsey, the rush. ing tiger with a fierce attack; Car pentier, the crafty, wise, fast moving panther.
 "The confidence I had that meet ing between these two would be the greatest contest of history has been justified by the interest that has been shown from the time the match was made.
