NEW YORK, Dec. H.
Why the names of baseball
heroes in the history Of the
American League in the base
ball hall Of fame?
President Ban johnson, Il
is understood, will take up the
question tomorrow in the
American League meeting.
Harry Edwards, Cleveland
newspaper man, is father of
the idea. He proposes that
the dean Of baseball writer's
in each city in the junior cir
cult vote on the most valuable
player Of each year. In this
way It is planned to perpetu-
ate the names Of star players.
The Hall of Fame monu-
ment and tablet, on which
George Sisler, Of the Browns,
earned a place last season as
the outstanding star, will be
erected in Potomac Park,
Washington, d. C.
The National League own
ers voted today to leave the
erection of a monument to the
late "Cap" Anson to President
Heydler. The site win be in
Chicago, where he starred for
years in the dim, dead past.

COMMERCIAL STARTS.

The success of the league was so
pronounced that it was only a
matter of six weeks later that an
other circuit made its initial bow.
This loop was the Commercial. To
be exact the Commercial started
on its way on the night of Novem-
ber 10, 1906.
A half a dozen local business
houses were represented in the
league. they being Julius Lans-
burg & Co., w. B. Moses & Sons,
Woodward & Lothrop. William
Hahn & Co.. Parker & Bridget and
Rich's. Like the District. this
league, too. met with success right
from the start.
BY the time the holidays were
over plans had been well laid in
various quarters for the starting of
several other leagues with the open
ing of the following season. Those
that had signified their intentions
of getting under way were the
Fraternal. Bureau and Navy Yard.
Duckpins by this time were gain
ing a strong hold all over the city.
The Palace and Subway drives were
finding 1t hard to meet the demand
of little pin bowlers for alleys. The
same held true at Sparroughs and
other establishments.

VOTING TINE DRAWS NEAR.

Have a cigar Have a drink or
have a coke are familiar hearings
around election time. The candidates
handclasps are long and hard. These
days are drawing near once more and
we wonder whether they will meet
with the success that have accompa-
MED them in former days.
These reflections were brought
about by an interview with Mr.. Web
ster our county clerk. Mr.. Webster
stated that while as yet he has not
ascertained the exact number of peo-
pie registered, there has been a con-
siderable increase owing to the en-
rollment of good many women.
Mr.. Webster said, that there was
very little difference in the register
ing of ladies from the rural districts
and those living in the towns.
We of The Oxford Eagle sincerely
hope that the ladies of Lafayette
county will use their votes to the best
advantage of this community; that

LETTER FROM COUNTY SUPER
INTENDENT.
Dear (Trustee:

Dear Trustee:
Interest in public schools seems to
be tagging. This is due to the fact
that you and others are so busy just
now trying to make a living. Just
as soon as crops arc laid by-and
that time is here-I think you and
your people should meet at your
school house, take a day off, and
clean up, and fix up the building for
next session.
In many instances the school
houses have gone down. and some
important repairs will be. necessa
before school opens. Now IS the
time to do this work, and while pa
irons are working together, they can
talk up lively interest in
school, which will mean much to your
children next session.
So / suggest that you trustees get
together and appoint a day for this
meeting, invite the teacher or teach
ers you are to have next session to
be with you; also invite your preach
er, the Supervisor of your Beat,
your Magistrate, and anv others who
will accept place on the program
for a public address. A day spent
at your social center-the school
house, will be enjoyed and will re-
suit in much profit.
Think over the above suggestions,
and any other ideas you think of in
terest to your community, and come
to Oxford next Tuesday prepared to
ask and answer questions pertaining
to the greatest institution in Missis-
Isippi-your COUNTRY SCHOOL.
Prof. W.. N. Taylor, Executive
Secretary of the State Department of
Education, will address the Trustees
Meeting at the Court House in Ok
ford, Tuesday, July 25, at ten o'clock.
Others will also make short
talks on the things you as trustees
are most interested in. Let every
trustee come Bring your patrons.
Ask your teacher to attend this meet
ing. The roll will be called
will you be on time to answer 'pre-
sent 2"

LOUISVILLE, Aug 21.-Official notice
Of a walkout of the big Four Brother
hoods of trainmen on the western dfvis-
ion of the Southern Railway Company
from Danville, Ky, to st. Louis, Mo.
was received late today by officials of
the company here following a second
strike Of firemen at 1890 o'clock this
afternoon at Princeton, Ind. Orders
were given for the annul1ment Of trains
between Louisville and st. Louis until
further notice.
'"The firemen today repudiated their
agreement they made with me at Prince
ton" said J. F. Sheridan, superintendent
of the Louisville-St. Louis division. Ihe
settlement had been made" he sald on
the condition that the guards be zoned
off and kept from the railroad yards
The claim upon which the men are pas
ing their new strike is that the equip
ment is unsafe an dthat they refuse to
work where guards are located.
The fifty firemen who quit work al

work yesterday. but suspended service
again this afternoon.
