maximum the first night and De
crease rapidly In attendance. but this
schools attendance was Just the OBJ
posite.
One reason why Altoona has such
a large attendance is because II is
in the heart of the Pennsylvania rail-
road system, which has 10000 en-
ployes at this point alone. This ere
ates a demand for intelligent me
chanics and artisans and causes a
desire To remedy the defects in edu.
cational training OF many men and
women who are compelled TO go TO
work without high school education.
But the most important reason why
this small and comparatively I'M
known city should have such large
attendance, is the generosity OF the
city government In appropriating for
the school equipment and for the sal
aries OF instructors. many OF whom
are foremen and expert workers In
the Pennsylvania railways shops.
The age OF the pupils ranges from
Ii TO Go years. The average 10 ~
years, and but 10 per cent OF the
total enrolment are foreigners, who
are enrolled In the four classes de-
voted to American citizenship.
A system Of credits is arranged in
both the day and evening classes,
whereby pupils who graduate above a
certain mark, can enter the PennsyE
vania Railroad Co.'s shops as appren-
tices and receive higher wages than
apprentices who have not been 30
proficient In school work.

DREYFUSs TELLS WHY NATIONAL LEAGUE TEAMS SLUMPED
 lAST YEAR

THAT Federal league influence had
 much to do with the pennant race last season there Is not the slightest doubt. Players who were made offers by the outlaws naturally lost inter- est in their work, with the result that they did not play up to their standard.
 The failure of the Pittsburgh Pirates to make respectable showing is di- rectly attributed to the Feds. Dreyfuss explains his teams slump thus:
 Tt wasn't the Giants which started us on the bumpers. told Fred Clarke several days before our first series with McGraw that we would never stop dropping until we reached the cellar. The Feds never let us alone minute. Our players talked. played and ate Feds"
 From Barney's logic 1t is surnised the reason for the Braves victory is that the team got such rotten start in the race that the Feds did not both CT them, and there was no use in doing this after the team got going and real- ized that 1t had a chance to win the pennant ' ..

NEVER HAD TROUBLE WITH UMPS.

A SIDE from his wonderful ability as
 a player, there is much to admire about Hans Wagner. During his en- tire career Wagner has never had a run in with an umpire. He has never criticised another player, and. in fact. he has made very few comments about anything, preferring to attend to his own business on all occasions.
 Wagner has been a credit to the game. and that is why his popularity has never been on the wane. He has been a competent and loyal athlete, and the day that he retires will be regret ted by all truc lovers of the sport That Is a lot more than can be said uf some Of the other stars who have been developed in baseball

A MONG those who joined in a
 lengthy tribute to Jerry Travers after his Baltusrol finish was Francis Ouimet, as fine a sportsman as he Is a golfer.
 T have always said,'' remarked Oui- met. as he followed Jerry the last few holes, that there was, no earthly req son in the world why Travers shouldn't be just as good medal player as he was a match player. .. The trouble. is that before Jerry had never given much thought to medal play being content to qualify and save his ener- gfes for match play ahead. But he has every qualification for" medal round wonder, medal round is nothing but match play against par. I think Jerry worked out his system exactly this way, for he fought par every hole just as if the old boy had been a live opponent who was playing with dead ly accuracy.
 "This talk of Jerry being all through" commented Ouimet. twas. of course, all bosh. I beat hin. at Fix wanok because I happened to be going.
