my management last fan had seven
Washington players and these three stars

pions look like minor leaguels and, mind
you, Mack's men did their best to beat
us. I don't suppose the Washington club
could buy Cobb Speaker and Walsh for

although they have made a small deposit,
are no nearer the throne than at the be-

they do not own any ball club. 1t is al

would have been greatly surprised
few years ago if anybody told him
that director of education would
point to him as an example in teach

Wednesday afternoon. however. when
Supt O. \. Morton of the Marlboro
school department in a talk to the

the teachers to use the same ideas in

the schedule for 1911 framed by President
Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg club
and President Lynch and Secretary IIeyd-
Ter of the National League. This will re-
suit from reducing of the seasons
mileage of every club in the organization.
Members of the schedule committee
Wednesday refused to make public the
total mileage saved. In the case of the
Pittsburg club the amount of mileage
saved is amazing. Last year the Pirates
Travelled 1900 miles Next season the
team, will travel only 1900 a saving of
5000 miles for one club. Figuring on a
basis of two cents a mile. the Pittsburg
club. which travels with about % players,
saves $500 or the salary of one pretty
good bah player for the season. 1t is
said that the travelling expenses of every
club in the league will be cut materially.
