Rubber May Be Played.
Seward turned the tables on Norfo !
Saturday afternoon , winning In nboi
the same manner as Norfolk did tl
first game. Score , 11 to 1.
It all came about in the fifth Innlr
when Ward went up in the air at
Seward landed two two-baggers ar
three singles from him , netting the :
seven runs in that one inning. Afti
that the visitors only got ono moi
score , Ward having calmed down to
hla old style of pitching. There was
bull-headed playing on thor part of the
.Norfolk team , especially In the Infield ,
Spellmnn , the now catcher , came Infer
for a bad error.
The features of the game were the
fine base running of the Seward team
and the two-bagger by Spollnmn , who
was fast , save that one time.
Owing to the fact that the two t .tuns
are about evenly matched It Is ox
lectcd the rubber will probably be
played oft In the near future to prove
whether or not Sownrd really Is the
champion amateur team of the state

Teachers Here Do Good Work.
Madison county teachers at the close
of the Institute here Friday afternoon
listened to several short addresses of
farewell by the Instructors. City Su
perintendent Hunter , who gave a lec
ture Thursday evening on the person
ality of the teachers , was listened to
with great Interest by a large number
of teachers. "The schoolroom is no
place for fatalism , " said Mr. Hunter.
"The teacher can make herself what
she wishes. The only way to get in
touch with the children Is through fair-
mindedness , enthusiasm and self con
trol. "
In his farewell to the Madison
teachers Mr. Hunter thanked them all
for the good work they have done In
the past , saying he was well pleased
with the work done by the teachers
in Norfolk schools.
Mrs. Grace Truax , one of the In
structors at the Institute , recited a
short poem , "A Large Heart Loveth a
Small Child. " Her lecture was on
the need of teachers being sympathetic
with children , saying that nine times
out of ten the child never has any
wrong motive. Mrs. Truax said In all
her experience as an Instructress she
finds that Madison teachers have done
more and better work than any she
has yet come In contact with.
County Superintendent Housel talked
briefly of the teacher's work , thanking
them for their Interest In the school's
welfare and saying he had no fear that
they would continue with their good
work.
At 8:15 : p. m. E. L. Rouse gave the
teachers a lecture on the "Rewards ol
the Teachers , " which was listened to
by a large number of the teachers
who take their examinations. After
the close of his lecture Mr. Rouse
thanked all the teachers and expressed
his wish to see them again at the next
inbtitute here.
Superintendent E. A. Murphy ol
Knox county was present at the lee
ture.
TAFT'S BOXING IS DENIED.
President Blames Physical Instructor
for Stories of Pugilistic Prowess.
Beverly , Mass. , Aug. 21. President
Taft is angry enough with his physl-
1 cal culture Instructor , Dr. Barker , to
put on the boxing gloves and hand
nlm a knockout punch on the jaw.
The boxing stories which have been
printed broadcast throughout the coun
try have caused the presidential
wrath to reach the boiling point and
Barker Is blamed for their distribu
tion.
tion.As
As a consequence , the nnti-fnt man
is doing n tremendous lot of explain
ing nnd denying , and the harder he
tries to sidestep , the more certain the
president seems to be that It is all
his fault.
"The president is not taking boxing
lessons , has never taken them down
here , and In all probability will never
take them In the rest of his life , "
declares Secretary Carpenter In reply
to the avalanche of queries he Is re
ceiving as a result of the pugilistic
gossip.
"But the papers have declared he
was almost knocked out by his In
structor , " said ono of the questioners.
"Well , I can't help what lies are
sent out frpm this town , " cried Car
penter at his wit's end. "All there Is
to these stories Is that the presi
dent Is taking morning exercises regu
larly under the guidance of a physical
Instructor. Ho exercises with weights ,
dumbbells , weighing machines and
other gymnasium apparatus. Barker
came to the white house for n couple
of months before the president Toft
Washington , nnd his duties here are
no different from what they were
there. "
"I never said that the president was
taking boxing lessons , " said Barker
today. "I never said that the presi
dent's weight was this or that. I have
never said he would make a fine prize
fighter or wrestler , with a llttlo moro
practice ; I never said any of these
things some of the papers say. It Is
a shame and no wonder the president
Is feeling sore about It. "
Leon Manvllle Reported Dead.
Spencer Advocate : It was reported

I'uesday. The particulars were not
learned at this writing. Ills wife was
operated on for appendicitis several

only a few days.

Kay met with n bad accident Saturday
