At $3.50 p. m. yesterday Gene Nc
Cam was see nto smile. 1t was the
first time druing the afternoon that
he let his face slip.
Chief Snyder was pretty bad. The
old boy only threw four Ponies out
at first, assisted in a double play and
caught two other players asleep off
Crooks station.
There was a slight n1ixup in the
second when Harry Mason hunted
with Page and Swander on the sacks.
Snyder got the ball and turned to
get Page at third. Ruell bad run up
to field the bunt and didn't get back
to third in time to cover the bag.
Snyder was sore and showed it in his
attitude but he quickly got over it
and after forcing in a run by passing
Guest he retired the Ponies without
further scoring. In commenting on
the matter last night Manager Nc
Cam said, when a man pitches such
good ball as Snyder did he can dance
a jig on the diamond for all I care.
A player who is trying hard to win
is apt to get excited if something
goes wrong.
Skipper E1ey was there. He chip
ped in with two singles and a sacri-
flee.
Rocky Stone caught a, good game.
The boosted base running of the Pom
les didn't materialize because Snyder
held all runners close to first. Genest
the speediest of the visitors, tried %
get a lead off first in TIME fifth but
after two narrow escapes from be-
ing snuffed out on Snyder's quick
toss, he Rugged the base.
Max Blumberg wore his face in
sling last night. The. wei known
plunger put a five spot on Springfield
because Greenwich was going to pitch.
He's a nawful headache as a pitch
err" declared Max when interviewed
after the game.
Benny Kauff couldn't connect He
hit the ball hard on his last three
but couldn't drop one in
safe territory.
Foot Ruell found his batting eve.
The steady going third sacker touch
ed Greenwich for one and also shook
Bannister down for single.
In passing out the salve don't over
look Bob Stowe. The youngster drew
onep ass and also swiped Bannister
for two Dagger in the seventh.
Manager Mccain couldn't get Bill
Kerr for the rest Of the season be-
cause Kerr was unable to leave his
job at the Graphophone plant. The To-
cal boss is now trying to get sea-
soned backstop to help Rocky Stone.
He was after Jack Kleinow, the vet
eran who was released by the Boston
Red Sox, but received wire from
Kleinow last night saying that he
had signed with the Philadelphia Ma
tionals. Mccain says he will try to
land another backstop before the week
is over.
Barbour played a fine game for the
Ponies. This boy always tends to |
business and is never mixed up in the |
rough stuff. He is big favorite with |
Bridgeport fans, even If his single |
n the seventh nearly spilled the |
prunes.

Snobberv in our Schools.

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University, in his an
nual report, attacks educational snob-
berry. He says that in American
schools and colleges there has devel-
oped a demand for teachers who have
q Phi. d. tackled to their names, and
/ that this has caused what he terms a
deplorabIe form of educational snob-
berry.
This fact" he says, has given to
the degree Of doctor of philosophy d
comm ercial value which it ought not
have and it has sent to Columbia Uni
versity and to all American universe
ties no incOnsiderable mum Der of stud
ents whose aim is not graduate work
or training in the methods of research
but simply the acquisition of higher
degree. Like the candidate for admis-
sion to the bar of England, who must
eat so many dinners at one of the de-
signated inns of the court, the candi-
dates for the degree of doctor of phil
osophy, who approaches his work from
this very practical point of view, re-
CARDS himself as entitled to receive
the degree when he has been in resi-
dence so many terms, or has attended
so many courses, or has gained given
mum Der of points, or has paid desig-
mated minimum fee.
LAS a matter of fact" he added,
few persons are less we'll equipped to
make good secondary school and col
Iege teachers than the most recent
possessors of the degree of doctor of
philosophy. If they have been serious
students. as must be assumed then
their training and intellectual interests
for some years preceding the obtaining
of the degree have not been of the
kind that relate themselves directly to
the work Of instruction in school or
college. The man who has recently
acquired the degree of doctor of phil
osophy may be an admirable person
to teach at once in secondary school
or college, but under present condi-
tions the chances are that he is not
such person The first step, then, il
to correct the erroneous opinion which
leads those charged with the duty of
making appointments in secondary
schools and colleges to regard the pos
session by applicants of Phi D. de-
gree as an essential prerequisite to Sc
curing an appointment."-Ne York

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

James r. Smith was killed yesterday af-
ternoon in an automobile accident The
accident happened when Mr.. Smith turn
ed suddenly to avoid a pedestrian, who
had stepped directly in front of the ma
chine. The automobile crashed into a
telegraph pole and Mr.. Smith was instant
~ killed. Mr. Smith had a reputation
as very careful driver and witnesses
say he was driving very slowly at the
time of the accident.
One hears much all over the country
noWaaays about reckless driving. There
are two sides to every question What

from morning paper, suggests the fol-
lowing hints for pedestrians
In crossing a street, ALWAYS look straight
ahead, up at the sky or down at your feet
puI never by any means chance to the
II you are trundling a baby carriage
always select very crowded CROSSING to
cross upon. Stand moment or two lipon
the crossing, as if celebrating whether
to embark or not,while all the drivers
ana chaufteurS are watching you anxious
~, and then, with the utmost delibera-
uon you are capable of, and the most
nonehalant indifference to your surround
ings, make the passage.
II you meet an acquaintance in the mid
die of the road by all means stop right
there and have quiet little friendly chat
with him or her Under no circumstances
bother to step up on the sidewalk
Il you step out OF a trolley car never
look about you, but assuming that the
street must, of course be perfectly clear
ed in honor of your arrival start at once
to the sidewalk.
When waiting for a trolley car, it is al
ways preferable to stand squarely in the
middle OF the road You might miss it
If you waited on the sidewalk.
II you are small boy, whenever you
see an automobile coming, run across the
road in front of 1t to see lust how close
you can come to being run over, without
quite doing it. If you fiscalculate by any
chance you viii have a fine revenge on
the automobilist, as your parents can col
lect damages from him and he may even
be held for manslaughter.
Whoever and whatever you are, regard
all automobilists and drivers as your nat
ural enemies, and in far as you can
without too much peril to your own skin,
get in their way and hamper and annoy
them.
/ have entitled these few suggestions
hints" for pedestrians. 1 see my folly.
A word to the wise is sufficient; a hint
to most pedestrians is superfluous.

Helping Along the poets.

Poetry, the cinderella of the arts, =
is to be rescued from her ancestral
attic and given chance to break into
high society just like her sisters music,
painting, and sculpture.
..Cinderella'' was the term used by
Miss Harriet Monroe, chaperon of the
new debutante, when she told of the
success Of her plans for the establish
ment in Chicago of a magazine devot-
ed solely to poetry, subsidized and sup
ported as are the art institute and the
grand opera
Miss Monroe already has 80 pledges
of $3.50 each, to be paid in five annual
installments, toward the support of the
new magazine. With 70 more she will
begin the publication of the magazine.
Young and unknown poets will have
the same chance for a hearing that
young and unknown artists get now in
the annual exhibitions at the art in
stitute.-Chicago dispatch to the New

Sees British Suffrage victory

woman suffrage is sure to win in
England, not at this time, but ulti-
mately,'' said Sydney Salamon of Lon
don, formerly of Washington and New
York, at the Raleigh. 1.-THE belliger-
ent attitude of the suffragists has not
helped their cause any with the pres
ent government, but the statements
made by American women in New
York that Lloyd George is a trickster
and not in sympathy with them. are
absurd and might hurt their cam
paign. Lloyd George, among his
friends, is known to look with favor
on woman suffrage, but he does not
think the time opportune for grant
ing it.
There are more important matters
to solve just now than that of giving
the right to vote to women Any one
who knows England and the English
people, is sensible of the superior
qualifications of English women for
voting. They know politics and po-
liticaI conditions better, perhaps, than
the women of other nations know
them in their countries Many times
have been surprised at the skill and
intelligence with which women discuss
political questions, not only pertaining
to England, but to Russia and other
countries. So, with the knowledge
that the women are qualified to vote,
there can be no reason for denying
