BOSTON. Dec. g.-Longer study
hours and shorter vacations for
school children are urged by Pres
ident F1avels Luther OF Trinity

state teachers association he said.
"The public is an easy mark be
cause school teachers have con
vinced them that the schools are
giving all they ought In education.
Let's teach more than rs hours a

a capable manager. The Maps. In fact
are giving less satisfaction than ever be-
fore because OF the nstlessness OF their
play, for which Davis is blamed. 1t was
undoubtedly a serious mistake for Davis
to make public statement in which he
referred 70 his players as incompetent
cutters, for under such conditions ball
players are not apt to put forth their best
efforts. They may live down the criticism
of the fans. but when the man in charge
Of them takes the public into his conf
dence and puts his own players on the
pan nothing further is to be expected
from the players.
Nothing that Davis could have done so
marked his inability to run q ball team
as the interview which he gave in which
he criticised his own players. It was an
, unheard-of mistake and surely a system
Of sQnaring himself which he never
learned in the Connie Mack school.
While Rube Marquard undoubtedly has
established a wonderful record by win
ming seventeen straight games this sea-
son. the fact should not be overlooked
that McGraw deserves some credit for
this performance McGraw is nursing
MarQuard along in that he does not use
him against pitchers who stand a good
chance to beat the Giants. He has, for
instance, on several occasions ducked
most troublesome for the Giants when
he is fit, and from all accounts he is Mt
In this way Marquard's record Is not apt
to be broken and with every victory he
becomes more of an attraction, which
seems to be what McGraw has in mind,
though, OF course, he is also after the
pennant. and SO long as he can place
Marquard where he stands good chance
to win. the less will the Giants lead be
endangered.
Reports from Las Vegas are to the
enect that Jack Johnson Is not in near
as good condition as he was two years
ago at Reno. but even IL this is true
1T seems doubtful If that will change
the outcome of the battle with Flynn.
1t stands to reason, of course, that
no fighter out of condition be he who
he may. stands much chance with a
husky fellow like Flynn. who is sure
to mix 1t up in a rough manner, but
it's several weeks yet before the gong
Will ring, and the chances are that the
black champion is doing a little STALL
ing Just now to help the betting. It is
questionable If Johnson will have to
be as good as he was at Reno to beat
Flynn. for 1T is hard to figure that the
former fireman Is really in the first
division of the heavyweights his repu-
tation having largely been made by
his victory over Al Kaufman who has
since proved himself frst-class dub.
