by McGraw in 1914 a different story
might have been written about the

should friendship figure in baseball?
McGraw had a chance to grab Ed.

Red Ames was traded by McGraw to

fiivvered badly.
Heinie Groh was not considered OF

VOTE TO ADD SIX ROOMS TO NORMAL
 TRAINING SCHOOL
This Will Relieve Conges- tion Among Pupils and Give Student Teachers
 More Scope.

At a meeting last night of the spe- cial committee of the board of educa- ton appointed to arrange for a new school in the West End it was voted to delay the construction of the school for the present and to add six rooms on the Clinton avenue side of the City Normal school. This school has spa cious yards and entrances facing both Clinton and Colorado avenues. Chair man John J. CuIlinan yesterday after noon proposed the addition to the Clinton avenue school as a, means of relieving the congestion in both the Normal and Prospect street school. Besides MT. Cullinan the committee consists of John A. Hurley, William R. Webster, Jr., and Dr. George W. Osborn, Architect Asheirn explained how the addition might be made to the school by taking away the terrace on the Clinton avenue side. It was after getting the grade from the city engineer. The additional rooms will accommodate 126 pupils.
 The committee has found difficulty in getting sites for the new school. Property in Clinton avenue directly opposite the Normal school has been considered but the owner, Edgar Bas- sick, does not desire to sell. Another site on the northeast corner of State street and Hancock avenue. also has been considered. Other sites fronting State street extension were discussed last night but no action was taken in the matter. An increase at the Bryant school from 12 to 16 rooms was dis cussed but no action was taken on that proposition although the mem bers of the committee agreed that the increased room is needed.
 The increased teaching facilities at the Normal school will give the Nor mai school student-teachers more scope for practical work. Part of the course is the experience gained Tn teaching work in the various rooms.
