NUMBER 32.
GFARY WINS FROM YUKON ON
ERRORS BY SCORE OF 3 TO 1
Yukon lost to Geary at Geary
last Sunday on errors. The
game was a pitcher's battle from
the start and should have been
a 0 to 0 game. The features of
the game was the base running
of Thomas, of Geary, and Rey
nols, of Yukon, and the fielding
of Tappe and the batting of
Robinson, of Yukon. Yukon
outbatted and outfielded Geary
all through the game, except in
the sixth inning when two suc-
cessive errors by the Yukon
boys gave the Geary boys the
two runs that gave them the
game.
Batteries: Yukon, Harris and
Crawley; Geary, Stanley and
Thomas.
Next Sunday Yukon will
play Geary on the home diamond,
and are going to try hard to re-
trieve their recent defeat. A
good crowd should attend and
make the boys do their best.

He was delighted when told
we have only 80 illiterates, one
hundred seventy five illiterate
voters and eighteen illiterate
chilbren between the ages of ten
and twenty one. He thought
we would have an easy job and
begged that we not cease our
efforts until success was attained.
Prof. Lieb made a short talk,
saying that El Reno would do
her part and all the teachers
signified their intention of
doing all they could to forward
the movement. At the close of
the meeting a vote of thanks
was extended Pres. Evans for
his instructive talk and for the
big bowl of punch which was en-
joyed by all present.

this is a very busy time yet I

that boys and girls are of more

week, we thought of a million,

A Fine Instutution
The Catholic University of
Oklahoma, one of Oklahoma's
finest education institutions, will
be opened up the 9th of Sept-
ember. The University buil-
ding is a five story structure, 220
by 70 feet, covering a floor space
of approximately 70,000 square
feet, fire-proof throughout with
a capacity of 400 students. It
is built in the beautiful Tudor
Gothic style and contains all
modern convienences including
the latest improved system of
vacuum steam heating, electric
lighting and natural gas. The
new building, as now completed,
is a credit to the state of Okla-
homa, to the City of Shawnee,
and to the many friends who
have generously contributed to
the cost of its erection. The
Benedictine Fathers have shown
great patience, optimism and
detremination in making this un-
dertaking possible during a
time when the outlook was often
very discouraging, and when the
state of Oklahoma was suffer-
ing marked financial stress.
The Catholic University will
be devoted to the cause of high-
er learning and empowered by
the state of Oklahoma to grant
degreest and diplomas, and any-
sending the reports in for I must
make my report to the State
Superintendent within ten days
after the election.
Most of the districts are in
good condition financially, but
there are few that will be com-
pelled to vote an excess levy.
Dr. J. Stanley Hall will be at
Edmond the week beginning
with July 19th. Dr. Hall is one
of the formost educators of
of the Nation and the students
are looking forward to a pleasent
and profitable week with him.

Nine Month's School for Yukon
At the school election last
Tuesday Yukon people voted a
nine-month's term of school for
the coming year, not a vote be-
ing against the extra two mills
levy. This will put Yukon in
the first line of schools. Be-
sides making Yukon one of the
best school towns in the state it
will be of much advantage in

Secretary Bronson of the Okla-

pleted the program for Press
Day at the Oklahoma State Fair,
October 1, and while the arrange-
ment may be altered in some
slight respects the general pro-
gram will be as the follows:

to car rides and entrance to all
the shows.

the spectacle of a bunch of hung-
ry eidtors, laying in one square
meal, will be embalmed by a
moving picture machine and the
reels shown in every moving

quite a number of us who left
other sections hurriedly from par-
ticipating but will be quite a
novelty.

theatres.
Secretary Bronson states that
if the new editors home at Medi-
cine Park is completed at that
time, the entire party will be

participate in a genuine house
warming. It is expected that

tract calls for completion by
