lard, who defeated Carl Morris in
- New York Wednesday night is
conceded to be a strong, courageous
mitt wielder. What he did to Luther
McCarty, then champion, in their fight
in the east is wei remembered by fans.
Willard, green as a gOurd, was being
outpOinted early in the fight when Nc
Carly stung him. That awOke the full
power OF the giant yOUngster- He cut
loose and McCarty's career was all but
finished right there. McCarty was Civ
en- a good beating
Morris is a more experienced fight
er than Willard. His physical power
was evident in his battle at St Louis
with Kingdom Belmont" whom he
cuffed into submission in three rounds,
without ever hitting clean, straight
punch
Morris can do more damage leaning
against a rival than many a man could
by hitting His courage has been
known since the memorable battle IN
New York, in which Jim Flynn, mite
of fighting inspiration, cut the big Eel
low to pieces. Morris was a sight at
the end of the 10 rounds, accounts re-
lated; but he smiled, just the same.

The Federal league, being essentially

trated. its attack on st. Louis. The
outlaws make no bones Of the fact
that they have talked contract to all
the good players ((if there are such)

Browns and Honey, Harmon, Magee

Withal president Britton Of the Car

ager Higgins here will be entirely on
the proposition of trades. BrittOn and

league meeting in New York, and it
is their earnest hope that they will
be able to barter at least six Of the
present crew of Cardinals.
A deal with New York is pending,
while a wholesale swap with Cincin-
natl also is seen in the offing. There's
a report heard that Roger Bresnahan

ing to Cincinnati in exchange for Joe
Tinker, who is sought by Evers as a
Cub shOrtstOp for next season
If Bresnahan gets control of the
Reds he may put through a deal for
some of his pet players on the Car
dinals, and there are some members
OF the local crew who would welcome
a return to Rogers school of baseball.
However, Honey has gone on record
with the statement that he will COM
nit almost anything before he accepts
a sentence to Cincinnati. A Federal
league berth would be more accept
able, the Big Train declares. But IN
til the Federal league builds a ball
park, Honey should not be so defiant.
Deal May Involve Many Cards.
The proposed deal with Cincinnati
may be a whOpper. It may involve the
transfer of Honey, Magee, Harmon,
Wingo and Cakes for Hoblitzeu,

materialize- However, it is true that
a big trade is pending, but will not
come to a head until the new manager

So schooling then came to mean
not the fitting for practical life, but
the acquisition of that which would
perhaps enable the child to live by
doing the least possible manual labor.
But the eVer-increasing need Of
money-indeed often of daily bread
brought it about that, despite an

largest to do with solving the boy

The schools.
What should the schools of the
future do for the boy to help him
cross the pitfalls between II and 10?
For an answer to that question The
Day Book went to ELLA FLAGG
YOUNG, superintendent of the pub
lie schools of Chicago and the most
famous today of American experts on
primary education.
The following statement was die
tated by Mrs. Young to the inter-
viewer of The Day Book.

When the little red, school house"
was instituted, you know, the United
States was new and what there was
of it had been built mostly with the
hands-the physical force-of our
fOrefathers.
At this time consequently, the need
of developing brain power seemed
greater than the need of developing
further physical power, and SO every
father determined that his child
should have this power that, by the
force Of his mind, he might direct the
work of the hands of others. But he
forgot that if we carried this idea to
it's logical conclusion there would be
NO hands to direct some day in the
future!
Thus children became imbUed with
the idea that, while work with the
hands was necessary, it was not al
