amined back to the var 1900: your sub,
committee was told that the school
authorities have the books still earlier
than that ...
Charges that furniture which did not
meet specifications had been accepted
is also denied In the report.
Twelve typewriter pages are devoted
to discussion of peculiar conditions
here which make for a higher expendi-
ture.
The vital question would seem to be,
the report declares, mot whether Wash
ington is spending more per capita for
education than some other cities, but
whether Washington Is giving the
schools more than tneir Just share Of
municipal revenues, and II the schools
are expensive, is the expe..se justified
by unusual local conditions and by the
educational results obtained?"
Six reasons are enumerated why
schools are expensive. These are:
Neglect in the past to furnish ade-
quate school buildings.
Dual system of white and colored
schools.
Small classes which make for higher
teaching efficiency
Fluctuation in population IN Washing
ton caused by Congress.
The Washington times., 1911-11-16
CAPT. JAMES F. OYSTER.

The fact that in Washington 10 per
cent of the pupils are In high schools.
Support of special schools for de-
fective and incoi rigibie children.
A study Of percentages OF high school
attendance In ten leading cities nearest
Washington's size discloses not only
that no city has so large n proportion
of pupils in high schools as Washing
ton, but that three cities have less than
half the per cent Of the Capital
"a noteworthy result OF searching
investigation of the schools made only
four AN half years ago, was that the
committee reported a new school law
which increased the salaries OF teachers
by $l62,000 or 141a per cent, and increased
the whole appropriation for schools for
the next year by nearly half a million,
s426, ,3l5. thus adding "a per cent on the
whole school expenditure.
THE same arguments which are now
offered against the school management
were then submitted and the same an.
swers were substantially made by the
board. with the significant result that
Congress vested the appointment Of the
School Board In the judges OF the Su-
preme Court of the District OF Colum-
Eia and largely added to expenditures
for the school purposes"

No Long Distance
 Runners For Yale Capt. Fitzpatrick Says On.j Sprinters Will Enter Inter
 collegiate Meet

New Haven, May 16-"No Vale ru1I- ners for any event beside the 100 and 220 yard dashes will be sent to the intercollegiates,' said Captain John ny Fitzpatrick, of the Eli track team, last night.
 Fitzpatrick announced the final cut of the season for the squad, retaining only nineteen athletes. Not a single distance runner is left-not even an entry for the 40 yard dash has been retained. Farrar. who won point in this event against Harvard, will run only the 220 yards in the interco1Iegi- ates. The squad left after Captain Kilpatrick's pruning follows:
 Sprinters-Reilly, Thatcher, Snyder Bleistein, Farrar.
 Pole vaulters-Gardner, wagoner Byers.
 High Jumper-Canf1e1d.
 Hammer Thrower-Childs.
 Hurdlers-Chisholm, PIatt, Larkin. Howe.
 Broad Jumpers-Holden, Green, Kil- patrick.
 Shot Putters-Messenger, Greenoug1.
 Captain Fitzpatrick said he still thought that Yale had fighting chance for the intercollegiates.

NEW YORK
 MAY SEND
 BAILEY HERE
Cy Miller, Stricken With Blood
 Poisoning, Goes to Hospital
BY WaGner.l

Manager McCann has been promised the services of Outfielder Bill Bailey, who Is now with the New York Amer jeans. The local magnate went to New York yesterday and had a talk with Owner Farrell of the Yankees. Bailey is now in Cleveland playing with the Tanks The American leaguers are badly crippled just now with Manager Chase sick and six oth- CT players injured As soon as the club gets into shape, though Farrell has promised that Bailey will be sent here. He must not be confused with Biff Bailey, who was with the Me chanics last year. Bill Bailey hit for .257 in S8 games with Lancaster in 1910, and had fielding average of .941. If he should come here it will make the local outfield one of the strongest in the league.
 Another result of Manager McCann's trip to the big city was the presence of Jimmy Hall in town today. The little shortstop has recovered from his attack of tonsilitis and is now ready to play again. Cy Miller, however. is not having such good luck He was taken to St. Vincent's hospital today suffering from blood poisoning in his leg. The limb is swathed in bandages and it will probably be two weeks before Cy is on the field again.
 Manager -McCann suspended Chalky Clunn for two weeks for failure to get into condition. The southpaw hasn't been able to show anything this year. He has gone to his home in Millville,

Jack Johnson is
 Arrested Again Champion Was Going Slowly But License Tag Was
 Wrong
(New York World,


 Smiling inwardly and outwardly, Champion Jack Johnson piloted his automobile up Broadway yesterday afternoon. He was smiling because he was going only five miles an hour, and knew that it would be merely through a desire to ''persecute'' him that he would be arrested.
 On reaching Columbus Circle he saw a mounted policeman ahead of him, Johnson smiled. He was not exceeding the speed limit He look ed around. Another bicycle cop was trailing. He smiled some more.
 Suddenly he was hailed by the man behind. The boxer looked around and grinned sarcastic grin. He was not going fast. But the police man came right along and handed Johnson a summons to appear in the West Side Court this morning.

SHEFFIELD STUDENTS SEEK
 REPRESENTATION FROM YALE

New Haven, May 16-The question of giving Sheffield Scientific School equal representation on athletic man. aserships with Yale Academic will be debated at a general University meet ing to be held tonight. The engin- eers from Shelf. have prepared amend ments to the constitution of the Uni yersity Athletic committee, calling two major managers from Sheffield.
 Heretofore the Yale College or Aca- demic students have taken to them- selves the great majority of the man. agershfps. The engineers claim that they are entitled to equal representa- ton on the basis of numbers and be- cause as many Shelf. men make the major teams as come from the Aca- demic department. The only argu- ment the college students oppose to the engineers Is that the latter's course only requires three years here while the college course is four years.

Tracy Hasn't Set
 Price Upon Hoey
Conn. League President Sore at Criticisms Heaped on
 Him

Waterbury, May 16.-So far as could be learned yesterday, no price has yet been set upon the release of John Hoey, who. by decision of the board of arbitration of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, is now the property of the New Britain club. When asked Ii he had yet determined the figure to be paid by Dan O'Neil to the Water teous and obliging gentleman from Bristol who is the nominal head of the Connecticut league, took the pub lie into his confidence to this extent:
 'I wouldn't tell you if I had"
 Tracy is evidently far from pleased heaped upon him for his part in the deal since the Hoey case came to light and with the assertion of the national board in its finding that he has failed in his duty by not deter mining price to be paid for the player It is apparent that when Tracy does name a price, if he de- cides to follow out the mandates of the higher authority, the public will not know about it, except through Secretary Farrell of the National as- sociation.
 In its ruling. the board demands that ''the Waterbury club be held to its written agreement to give Presi- dent Tracy the right to name the purchase price for Player Hoey's re- lease, and further that the players salary while under suspension by the officials of the Connecticut league must be paid. and services of Hoey awarded the New Britain club, and a copy of the proper sales agreement drawn by President, as per the writ ten agreement entered into, be for warded to this office.'

Reds Ask Waivers
 on Tommy DoWney
But St. Louis Puts in Claim For
 Bridgeport Boy

In spite of the fact that Tom Dow ney has been hitting like a f1end for Cincinnati, there are still rumors that the Reds want to get rid of him. Tommy has been playing shortstop in place of Dave Altizer and has been going fine. The Sporting News stated last week that Downey had beaten Altizer out for the position.
 Here is what the New York Globe said last night:
 "The Cincinnati club has asked for waivers on Infielder Tom Downey, a prominent citizen of Bridgeport. St. Louis has claimed Downey, and thus Bresnahan has probably blocked a move that was intended to strength en the Jersey City team, which has just been deprived of the services of Frank Manush, who goes back to New Orleans"
