PRACTICAL TRAINING FOR GIRLS
AND BOYS.
By Calvin Dill Wilson.

Almost any occupation can be
made the means of such training.
Inc girl may be given a flower bed
or hot be0, the product of which she
may sell to her family or to others.
Something Of the homework and of
sewing should be given her to do.
She may have a bit of the garden
patch to cultivate or oversee, with
the product as her own. Making of
special kinds of rolls or of candies
for which she may find sale among
neighbors open a field for her. A
typewriter, on which she can COPY
papers at home for acquaintances
who wish such work done, may be
the means of getting a start in prac-
teal work.
The boy may in many instances
get the right to sell daily or weekly
newspapers in his community or
neighborhood. A box of tools is a
valuable part of the training of boys;
they should be encouraged to learn
to make things, to keep up certain
kinds of repairs about the house
and place. The boy should have
something at least to do with the
SdIueHlHS lOT the nome, be IN charge
of it or have his share of the work.
He should have charge of the horse
and COW, OF tho buggy or carriage and
harness where these are part of
the household possessions, and learn
to care for these in the best way.
Where possible, the boys and girls
should have an earned allowance,
however small, that they may have
definite rewards to work for, and
learn the value of money.-Mother'
Magazine.

I have thought much, myself, about
the begging of rural communities for

Shocked they are, at Farmer Corn

never be able to attend. Failing
however to elevate him to the high

the argument that these co1lege-bred

The movement for good roads in
Florida is spreading rapidly and if
the enthusiasm can be kept up it is
likely this state will be covered with
a nerwo rk of good roads within few
years and the people will then be
wondering how the state managed to
exist for so many years without good
roads.
The warm weather of the pa few
days. has given some of the winter
visitors the fever to return to the
north, and a few have started back,
but the majority of the people will
remain until after the first of next
month to aend the aviation exhibition
here. Indications are the exhibitions
to be given by McCurdy will be the
most interesting in the way of at
fractions offered in Daytona for many
months, and the majority of the peo-
pie will not pass up this opportunity
to see the sights. There will be many
people from various parts OF the state
here for the aviation events.

BIG TRADE CAUSES
TROUBLE IN BOSTON
Vice President Page, of Doves
Protests Deal and Sues.

Boston, June 11-Vice President Page,
OF the Boston National League baseball
club, is very much incensed at the latest
trade" put through by President Rus
sell, whereby four of the best men on
the Boston clubs payroll were swapped
for an equal number of Cubs. Mr.. Page
is of the opinion that the Boston club
got the worst of the deal, and there are
few fans in this city who do not agree
with him. He did not know of the deal
until long after 1t was cOnsummated
When Mr.. Page received tine sad It'd
inss he sent a telegram to President
Russell protesting the deal on the
grounds that according to the bylaws
OF the club, no such step can be taken
without a vote of the executive COM
mittee, after which, in case there is a
tie, the directors must pass on the ques-
ton. Mr.. Page claims the deal was
illegal for this reason. He also wired
President Murphy, of the Cubs, to this
effect and then telegraphed President
Lynch, of the National League, pro-
testing the game itself on the ground
that Graham was the property Of the
Boston club because the deal was not
legally put through. He also announced
that his attorneys were preparing an
other law suit against President Rus
sell, alleging that the club was being
badly miSmanaged

Have Stood the Test
Only Sepenty-nine Recruits Kept Out of Nearly
Four Hundred Roped in Last FALL

youngsters, but of that large number
only a few are now in the National
League.
The percentage Of drafted players kept
is very small only Is, including some
doubtful quantities, being carried at the
present time. The American league
players who were drafted last fall are
Blanding, of the Maps; George and Halli-
nan, OF st. Louis; Bodie and Choinard,
of Chicago; Riggert, Killalay, and Nu-
namaker, a Boston, and Williams, of
New York.
Nineteen players taken back on options
were kept, eleven in the American and
eight in the National. Consequently
forty-four players who were purchased
prior to the draft have managed to stick
in fast company for the first six weeks
of the campaign.
A fairly good team could be formed Of
youngsters in either OF the two leagues.
For instance, the American lineup would
be as follows:
Land Fisher, Smith, Rlair, Ainsmith.
and Nunamaker, catchers; Gregg.
Knapp, West. Kater. Lively. LATTE, and
Covington, pitchers; Gainor, first base;
Cunningham, second base; Olson or
Yerkes, shortstop: Elliott, third base;
fielders
1t would be rather difficult to form a
team OF National League recruits, as the
maj ority OF those retained are pitchers
The best aggregation, however, would
he: Keefe. Toney. Steele, Alexander,
pitchers; Hartley. catcher; Hunter, first
base; Esmoad, second base; Jimmy
Doyle. shortstop; Ingcrton, third base;
Kaiser, Good, and Carey, outfielders.
The Washington herald., 1911-06-12

OF the 3s6 minor league players who
were purchased, drafted and taken back
under optional agreements by the sixteen
big league teams last fall. only seventy
nine have stood the acid test and Of this
number fully a dozen or more will prob
ably find their way back into the minors
before another month is past.
Last fall was a record breaker when
1t came to. frantic efforts on the part of
spots in their line-ups. A small army of
players was purchased, while an unusual
ly large number was drafted later on.
In addition. there were several players
out under optional agreements who were
recalled.
Cleveland has retained more youngsters
than any other club in either OF the
major circuits. Cleveland. however, was
wedding out a lot OF veterans and natur-
ally cast its net for more youngsters than
any Of its rivals. Consequently. thirty
five players were taken from the minors
