Mrs. DeForest is quite as interest

difficult science of civil engineering.
She was the first and only woman to

honors were heaped upon her until she
stood before the world as its foremost

remarkable example of woman g intel

She was the first woman ever elected

she further distinguishes herself by
being the first woman to engage in wire

Second. A special survey for the

RELOCATED TO
MINOR LEAGUES
Many Prominent Ball Players
Will Be Dropped From
Major League Clubs

Almost score of ball players who
have held prominent positions on
teams in the major leagues will be
relocated to the ranks Of the minor
league this season, and among them
win be several players who have been
members of worlds championship and
league pennant winning teams. veter-
ans of the game who are known to
every baseball fan in the country

back TO the minor league ranks con-
tains several names which are known
wherever the great national pastime
is played, including such former stars

Socks" Seybold, Dummy" Taylor.

which have won the title of worlds

the list is Joe McGinnity. the famous

ance won fame toi him throughout the

Dummy" Taylor. another member
Of the Giants who figured in the win
ming of the 1905 pcnnant, has also been
turned adrift by McGaw, and has been
signed by Buffalo. of the Eastern
League. The dropping of Taylor is
probably the hardest official order that
McGraw has ever been compelled O
issue There was a feeling between
TAYLOR and the chief Of the Giants
which was more than ordinary friend

humor and his love for fun, coupled
with his inhrmitv, Taylor endeared
himself to McGraw, and il is likely that
II McGraw had reen I'm a position "a

other hand Taylor thinks there is nc
man like McGraw. and his forced re-
tirement from the Giants will be the
bitterest moment of his life. Taylor
has felt for two years that McGraw
did more for him than his services
really warranted. and when the man.
afVr offered to caise the deaf mute:
salary he declined. He is the first
ball player on record who ever re.
fused an increase in salary.
