BASEBALL FEVER" is
RAGING-JOHANN MGR.
Some so Fans Held Enthusiastic
Meeting Monday Evening.

An enthusiastic baseball meet
ing was held in the council
chambers Monday evening, the
meeting having been attended by
some so local fans.
After a great deal of discus
sion those present elected John
Johann as manager for the
team, Vern Dye assistant mama
ger, j. V. Nash, treasurer.
Members of the finance conf
mite are: Floyd Baker, Frank
Albers, A. T. Gardner. Enter
tainment committee: j. V.
Nash, r. II. Kendall, J E. Rich
ards.
The first move of the organi-
zation will be to buy new suits
for the team which they plan on
purchasing through an advertis-
ing scheme. Business men are
going to lie asked to buy the
suits, and those purchasing a
suit will be entitled to place an
advertisement on the back of the
shirt, suitable to their business.
A committee is also going be-
fore the city council and ask
them TO donate a weeks work on
the ground, similar to an action
taken by the council last year.
1t is said with another weeks
work the grounds can be placed
in perfect condition. The ball
grounds is the property of the
city and therefore it is presumed
that they will order this work
done.
According to press reports
from the outside a league is al
ready in the making, with
Grangeville taking the initiative
which is to include the towns of
Nezperce. Winchester, Craig
mont and the city of Grange
vile. Suppose Cottonwood viii
have TO "barnstorm" it, be that
as it may Cottonwood will have
a team, and as to games little
concern is given to that subject
at this time.
The hearty support of the pub
lie in general is asked for by the
boys, who say they will give tn,
best there is in them.
Cottonwood. as in years gon'
by is for a "home team" first
last and all the time.

SCHOOL BOARD MET
TUESDAY EVENING
Many Important Matters Dis.
cussed by Its Members

Members of the board OF
school trustees, of Independent
District No. 8, Cottonwood, met
in regular session in the Cotton
wood State Bank, Monday even
ing and besides allowing the reg.
ular bills which had accumulated
since their last meeting other
important matters were taken up
and discussed, among them be-
ing, placing the Cottonwood
high school on an accredited
basis and the employment OF
teachers for the coming school
year.
No definite action was taken
on either subject.
In order to place the Cotton
wood high school on a credit
basis all teachers must be college
graduates and at least one more
teacher added to the pay roll.
The advantage of being a Gre
dited high school, chiefly among
them is, when pupils graduate
from the local school they are
entitled to enter colleges and uni
versities without taking an en-
trance examination.
The question of employing
teachers was discussed for some
time but no action taken. The
board has a large number of ap-
plications on file from teachers
who wish to teach here the COM
ing years.
At the next meeting of the
board, which, no doubt will be
held within a short time the
teachers for the coming school
year will be selected.
All members of the board with
the exception of Mr.. Belknap
were present. William Simon
was selected clerk until such a
time when Mr.. Belknap will be
able to resume that position.
