merits Of McGraW's methods. Burns
decorated the bench last season and
watched the veterans perform. He
was expected to learn from observa-
ton. When McGraw let Josh De-.
wore go to Cincinnati there was a
large howl from the New York fans,
but, though Josh has been doing
great work for the Reds, Burns has
made the Giant admirers forget all
about him. Arthur Shafer, the Giant
third baseman, is another product of
the bench school, and Jim Thorpe is
now serving his apprenticeship as a
spectator.
1t is nearly the end of July, and the
Federal League is still in existence,
with excellent prospects of going
through the season under a full head
of steam. July is the date usually
picked for aspiring new minor
leagues to hit the rocks. The Feds
have passed that danger point with
only one change in the makeup of
the circuit, the substitution of Kan
sas City for CovingtOn. The In
dianapoTs team is making a nice bit
of change, due to the fact that the /
Fed team is leading its organization,
while the city's gang in the American
Association is hopelessly in last
place and losing every day.

ELLA FLAGG YOUNG QUITS AS
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
Ella Flagg Young has rendered to
the school board her resignation as
superintendent of the schools of Chi
cago.
She explains that she resigns in
order to bring about harmony in the
school board; and it is believed she
resigns rather than fight the men,
bers of the board who are hostile to
her and her policy.
She takes the position that at her
age, 68, she won't-ight a selfish fight
to hold her job. She doesn't say
what members are antagOnistic.
There is a protest from women and
friends Of the school from all over
town. A mass meeting will be held
to express the feelings Of those who
want her to remain at the head of
the schools.
Mayor Harrison may be asked to
appoint members of the board who
win be favorable to her and her edu-
CatiOnal policy.
Matters mentioned as possibly havE
ing something to do with her resig-
nation is the row raised by some
members over a spelling book, and
some opposition to her plan to teach
sex hygiene.
