REDUCED NUMBER OF STUDIES.
Changes Proposed in the schools OF
Chicaap.

A reduction IN the number OF studies AL

cAgo are two Of the plans Superintendent
Of Schools Ella F1agg Young is 10 inaugu-
rate In the schools of that city this year.
Announcement OF this was made in her
annual report, covering the school year in
1908 and lsla which was issued from the
printers last week.
In regard to the courses of study in the
high schools the report says: The high
school course, on account OF the large
number OF subjects that It permits a pupil
10 carry simultaneously. often tends to
develop habits Of dissipation instead OF
concentration of energy" The plan to cor.
rect this situation is to reduce the number
OF elective subjects in a course but 10 pro-
vide for the securing Of an equal number
of credits, as at present.
One cause OF the present condition II
described as the relation OF the high schoo
course 10 the requirements of admission
TO college. The first step in its correction
the report says, is the vocational two-yeaI
courses TO be installed this year. whiel
are expected in time 20 develop 10 such al
extent that the present technical higf

the two-year course who decide to contlnu,
their work.

Season of the Imperial Valley
League Closes and Ball Toss

Manager Danny Long of the San
Francisco baseball team is rapidly
rounding up his players, and by the
end of next week he expects to have
the contracts of nearly all of them in
Long yesterday received a contract
from Harry Waring. who will be one
of the new men on the local team this
year He mailed his contract from
Kansas City, where he is at the present
time, but he expects to come to the
coast soon
Waring was purchased from the
Guthrie team of the Western associa-
tion at the end of last season by
Charles Comiskey, manager of the
White Sox team. Waring comes with
a good record. He batted .297 last sea-
son, and is qualified to play either in
the outfield or behind the bat. He has
been turned over to Long by Comiskey
Fred Carman, the big busher whom
Long picked up toward the end of last
season, sent in his contract yesterday
The big fellow looks like a good one,
and with the necessary experience Long
expects him to deliver the goods.
The season of the Imperial Valley
league came to a close Sunday, SO the
Coast league players who were en-
ployed I'M the south during the winter
can be expected back here any day

catcher, wrote Long that he will be

tract, and said he would send his
papers in within a few days.

Thomas F. Ryan Wants
Distance Racing

NEW YORK, Feb. Am effort is
being made to revive long distance
horse races in this country. The prin-
cipal advocate of races that demand
speed, endurance and courage is one
of the latest patrons of the turf
Thomas Fortune Ryan. The traction
magnate has been consulting some
stewards of the Jockey club and try
ing to inject into them some of his
enthusiasm for this particular branch
of racing.
This subject of long distance races,
the four mile kind-heats, too, if
horsemen will see it that way-is a
hobby with Ryan. He has a deeply
rooted conviction that races over long
routes are the contests betting thor
oughbreds and not the present day
sprints of FIVE, six and seven furlongs.
Ryan believes that under present
conditions the struggles are so short
that an advantage gained at the start
very often decides a race. Under such
conditions the very thing sought
after by breeders. extreme speed. fire.
quently is placed at naught because
horses that possess that high quality
may be handicapped by ground lost at
the rise of the barrier.
