NEW YORK MOTHER-TEAcHERS
WIN FIGHT FOR BABIES
Albany, N. Y, Jan. Mother
teachers won a victory yesterday
when Commissioner John H. Finley
Of the state department of education
decided that a teacher may not be dis
missed because she absents herself
from the public schools to bear a
child.
Mr. Finley's decision, which defn-
iteIy determines the status of mother
teachers in the state and from which
there is no appeal under existing
laws, pointed out that a law provid-
ing that woman teachers position
automatically became vacant when
she married had been declares uncon-
stitutiOnaI and that the board Of edu-
cation should have accepted the nat
ural corolary Of it's policy, voluntary
or enforced, of employing or retain
Ing married women teachers and
should have given at least as favor
able consideration to an absence for
child birth as is normally given to
absences asked for reasons Of per-
sonal convenience or minor or grave
illness, or for purpose of study and
travel of of improving health.

mixing up the different styles of de-

to produce the greatest amount OF
guessing in the mind of the bats
man, the catcher is of great help to
the man on the slab.
The temptation to which the ay-

pitchers strong card too often.

BY BILLY MURPHY.

There Is no position where you
have to use more gray matter in
baseball than behind the bat.
Brains are the chief essential
needed to make a backstop. Unless
a man can think fast and clearly
and can watch with instructive in
telligence his opponents every lit
tie movement, many of which real
~ do have "a meaning of their
own, and can anticipate any play
that IS likely to come up. he is not
q star catcher.
Once, when Johnny Killing was
talking about quitting the game for
q less strenuous life as billiard
promoter, Manager Frank Chance
then with the Chicago Cubs, told
him:
You're foolish, for you can draw
good money as long as you can
stand up behind the bat. A catcher
with brains ought to be able to play
until he is IS years Of age"
Fielder Jones. now leader of the
st. Louis Federals. but then man
ager of the Chicago White Sox, ut
+ tributed the winning Of the worlds
pennant of 1906 to Billy Suilivan's
brains. instead OF to Ed Walsh's
iron wing.
It is a position in which expert
ence counts for much.
Every week of, every season, a
brainy catcher learns something
new to add to his store of ability,
