Thousands of ed ucators from all parts of the United States are already gathered in this city and many thousands more will arrive here before next Monday to attend the Fiftieth annual convention of the Na tional Education Association, which will begin tomorrow with three ses sions of the educational council. The convention which promises to be of es pecial interest and importance, is scheduled to continue through next week, closing with a general session on Friday evening, July 12. The Auditorium Hotel and the Con gress Hotel have been selected as the headquarters of the convention and the sessions of the general convention will be held at the Auditorium Thea tre. In addition to the general sessions there will be daily sessions of nine of the principal departments, with round table conferences, addresses and dem onstrations by noted experts. Among the departments which will hold spe cial meetings are the departments of idndergarten education ; of Elemen-1 tary education, Normal Schools, busi ness education, child hygiene, science instruction, physical education, spec ial education, school patrons, rural and agricultural education. Fifty or sixty of the leading church es of the city have arranged special sermons and addresses on educational matters for Sunday and have invited the delegates to attend services. The rest of the day will probably be devot ed by most of the visiting members to sight-seeing tours through the city on their own account. The real work of the convention will begin on Monday. In the morning there will be a number of departmental meetings and in the afternoon the first general session of the convention will be called to order by President Carroll G. Pearse of the association, who will deliver his annual address after the conclusion of the customary welcom ing speeches. Immediately following the afternoon session the members from each state will convene in places assigned to them to choose their rep resentatives upon the committee which will nominate officers for the coming year. When the time comes for the elec tion of officers a stormy session is ex pected in which the "progressives" will be arrayed against the conservative or "machine faction." The progressives led by members of the Interborough Association of Women Teachers of New York, will probably open the light and will make every effort to have their candidate for the presidency, Miss Grace E. Strachan, of Brooklyn, elected. There has been considerable dissention among two factions for the last two or three years and the feeling has become so strong that in the opin ion of many members attempt of the "machine faction" to overrule the pro gressive element may lead to a split between the warring factions and a complete disruption of the association. In the course of the sessions many subjects of great educational import ance will come up for consideration and discussion. The subject of estab lishing a national university supported by the government will be discussed by four presidents of state colleges, Edmund J. James, of the University of Illinois, Charles R. Van Hise, of the University of Wisconsin; James H. Ba ker,, of 4the University of Colorado and William O. Thompson, of the Univer sity of Ohio.

RICHMOND PUT UP A MISERABLE GAME Locals Defeated Easily Yes terday Afternoon by the Hamilton Krebs. Hamilton 14; Richmond 6. The worst game ever put up by the Quaker City boys was that of yester day when they were trounced by the Hamilton K. I. O. leaguers on the local grounds by the score of 14 to 6. Ham ilton played well but the Richmond lads couldn't pull together. "Heavy" Betts, the local regular twirler was shifted to the right garden by Manager Jimmy Braxton for yester day's contest and Young Johnson was permitted to do the twirling. Hamilton secured 11 hits off Johnson while the locals got but Ive off Hombeck. Rich mond made nine errors and the visit ors made three. The large crowd which filed through the gates at the park long before the contest was called began to dwindle after the first four or five innings, as the game which the locals were put ting up was not up to the standard. The visitors made one or two runs in every inning, with the exception of the fifth and ninth. In the seventh in ning they polled six markers.

M. The crowd for the most part seemed indifferent as to the outcome, except Johnson's colored sup porters and each time a round was posted, they gleefully praised Big Ar thur's prowess. The fight went nine rounds when It was stopped by the police. The referee then awarded the fight to Johnson on a foul, Flynn having viciously butted the champion. The story of the fight by rounds follows: Round 1 "Will you shake hands, Jack," queried Flynn, as he opened the battle by rushing into a clinch. "No," retorted the black. Flynn kept in close, but Johnson easily avoided his at tempts and flung a stiff left to the ear. The champion pushed his man aeross the ring and hooked his left to the ear, and a moment later flung a hard short-arm jolt to the jaw- John son smiled constantly and fought with great care. Flynn backed the negro against the ropes and the champion re warded him with a right that cut a deep gash under his left eye. Round all Johnson's. Round 2 As Flynn rushed, Johnson simply grasped him about the shoul ders and held him at bay, all the while grinning like an ape. The champion pecked at the fireman's face with light lefts, and as they cjinched twice up percut twice heavily with rights to the jaw. The champion toyed with Flynn, twice more shooting right uppercuts to the jaw, one of which sent the fire man's head bobbing. The champion early indicated it was to be a battle of words as well as of blows, time and again exchanging his usual repartee with the spectators. Flynn's mouth bled as he took his seat, very much worsted during the three minutes of fighting in this round. Round 3 Flynn cut short a remark of Johnson by twice hooking his right to the jaw. This nettled the black and he cut loose with short-arm upper cuts to the jaw. Johnson bled slightly from the mouth as he emerged from a midring mixup, but Flynn spat blood in a stream, as the champion cut his mouth with a volley of rights and lefts. Round 4 Flynn rushed in close, and was met with the customary rain of right and left uppercuts to the -face. At that it seemed as if Johnson was holding himself in check. He shook Flynn with a few stomach taps, scarce ly trying to protect his body from Flynn's attacks. Johnson constantly shoved his stomach and invited him to blaze away, which convulsed the spec tators. Flynn elicited a great cheer w hen he rushed Johnson to the ropes and planted a solid left to the jaw. The round ended with Flynn's face covered with blood. Johnson's round. Round 5 Johnson turned his head to the spectators and hardly noticed his white antagonist. Flynn banged away at the stomach, but this time Johnson covered up and shot four lefts to the face in quick succession, vary ing it with a left uppercut to the jaw. Nominees X Ni. it Flynn at close range, sent half a dozen punches on the stomach, but Johnson only smiled and again made no appar ent attempt to protect his midsection. Johnson aroused the crowd to merri ment by releasing Flynn's hold and clapping his own gloves together like a happy schoolgirl. "I can't fight while he's holding me," shouted Flynn, pro testing to the referee. The round end ed then, with Johnson holding a run ning conversation with his wife and seconds. Round 6 Flynn butted with his head three times and complained that Johnson made it justifiable by holding him. Flynn was severely reprimanded for deliberately butting the champion. Flynn tried to find a loophole to stem the beating given him. Johnson dazed the fireman with his speed, landing left and right to the jaw. "He's holding me," was Flynn's cry. Johnson, mad dened, landed a volley of straight left and right punches to the face, fairly ON FOOL; BATTERED THE BEST OF A You don't need to go abroad to enjoy the far mous German beers you now have the opportunity to enjoy this pleasure right in your own home.

JESSHJP, Aw& bewildering Flynn. then he stopped himself, apparently- with a view to prolonging the contest. Flynn's seconds also warned him to cease butting when he sat down. Round 7 Johnson landed fully a dosen rapid-fire rights and lefts to the fireman's face, and at the same time placed himself in a position to with stand Flynn's butting tactics. "Wait a minute," cried Johnson to a spectator who had shouted for him to end it. Flynn bled profusely from the nose as Johnson beat a tatoo with his left and right to that organ. Flynn failed to land a glove on the champion, the black's defense proving impregnable. Johnson made the blood fairly spurt as he rained blow after blow on his be wildered opponent. There was not a drop of blood on Johnson as he took his seat. Round 8 Flynn tried to butt again, but was warned. The round was very much like its predecessors, with John son uppercutting and Flynn butting viciously at the same time losing a world of blood. Flynn was helpless in the champion's hands, and for the tenth time in this round was warned, the referee adding: "Once more and I'll disqualify you." Round 9 Johnson held the fireman at arm's length in an attempt to guard himself against the fireman's constant butting. Flynn finally got in close. jumped a foot in the air and landed with the top of his head against John son's jaw. Captain of Police Cowles, realizing that the referee seemed loath to end the contest on a foul, jumped into the ring and brought the battle to an end. Referee Smith thereupon gave the decision to Johnson. Johnson was given a teriffic cheer while the crowd wended its way out. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.
