ing so that he may give full time to
the general management of the school
Teachers should be added to the corps
SO as to reduce the classes to five per
teacher and the number OF pupils in
each class TO a maximum of thirty.
The attendance in the colored
schools is good Lincoln school has
an average enrolment Of 81 pupils per
teacher, the Douglas school SO, the
iraver high school does not have 20
large an enrolment per teacher but
because OF the number of the classes
Ike teachers all have fun programs.
l am happy to be able to commend
% you favorably and in the strongest
terms the teaching corps in the
Guthrie schools. The teachers are
efficient, energetic, cooperative and
loyal in a marked degree to the high
ast interests Of the pupils who are
committed to their charge. They are
doing good work but are handicapped
for the want OF equipment. There are
40 maps, except relief maps, that are
worth mentioning in any of the
schools. Appropriate maps and charts
are an absolute necessity for efficient
instruction in both geography and
history. Boots for reference in the
high school and for supplementary
work in the grades are no less
necessity than are maps and charts
Besides the regular texts, pupils in
avery grade should read at least one
good supplementary reader each
semester. Children learn to read by
reading. Each class should, there |
fore, be provided with adequate read
ing material suitable to the age and /
interest OF the pupils. There are a !
few sets Of supplementary readers in
.he schools but not enough for all the !
schools nor for all the grades. If the
OF the finances of the board
will at all perrait it, will recommend
hat an appropriation be made of at
,ast $4,000 for the white schools and
5000 for the colored schools with }
-hch to purchase maps, books, charts
nd supplementary helps for the :
ahools. Very respectfully submitted,

outset of his career. SO was Frank
Isbell. Stuffy McInnis considered him
self a shortstop until he was given the
chance to replace Harry Davis. Schmidt
of the Braves was a pitcher. Jack
Miller OF the Cardinals second base
man, Leary Of the Browns a catcher.
All of which goes to show that many
of the first sackers are such through
choice; also. that it behooves the
youngster of today to perfect himself
in the art of playing first skillfully.
for there is no other position in the
big leagues for which there are so
many opportunities to break in.
Size up the present situation Cleve-
land is trying out two recruits
Shields, a bush Lacquer with only one
years experience. and Roy Wood, with
but few months trial. Chicago needs
an accomplished first baseman to sub
stitute for Fournier. whose fielding is
not equal to his batting ability.
Branch Hickey will try out several
youngsters in hopes that he can find
one good man for the job and allow
Leary to resume duty as catcher.
Pipp, a graduate of the international
League, will get a trial at New York,
while Washington may find itself COM
PEELED to get new man for the initial
cushion, should Gandirs health fail to
improve.
Good first basemen are just scarce
in the National. If Miller Huggins
can get the right man he will let Miller
go back to second or short. McGraw
wants a younger man to replace Fred
Merkle. Moran is seeking successor
to Luderus. Fred Clarke may have to
put Hans Wagner on first to replace
Konetchy. who has jumped. and Gin
cinnati needs man to fill Hoblitzers
shoes, Mollwitz having failed to do SO
In fact, the only first basemen in the
two big leagues who are perfectly sat
isfactory to their managers are Me-
Inns of the Athletics, Hoblitzel of the
Red Sox, Burns of the Tigers, Safer OF
the Cubs, Daubert of Brooklyn and

MOST FIRST BASEMEN START
IN AT SOME OTHER POSITION
Initial Sackers Play There Through Neces-
sity and Not by Choice-Many OPEN
ings for Them In Big Leagues.

CLEVELAND, January 9-That each
OF the three first sackers Cleveland
has started his base ball career in some
other position brings out the fact that
q large portion of the first basemen in
the country are playing the cushion
through necessity rather than by
choice. As a rule, when a young man
inaugurates his base ball career, it is
his ambition to be pitcher. shortstop
or second baseman. If he is very fast
he selects an outfield job as his by
right and but seldom does he pick
first base as his natural position.
Cleveland has three aspirants for
the initial pillow-Doc johnson, Roy
Wood and Pete Shields. Johnston
used to think he was star south
paw, Wood was an outfielder, while
Shields was a catcher until last sea-
son. Getting right down to hard facts,
most of ClevelandS first sackerS have
been made-overs. Pat Tebeau began
as third baseman, George La Chance
and Pat Crisham, as well as Ossie
Schreck and Bob Wood. were catchers.
Charley Hickman began as pitcher
and was an outfielder when bought
from Boston. George Stovall was a
pitcher until his arm went back on
him. while Claude Rossman was an
outfelder until assigned to the inf1eld
work.
Gandil of the Nationals started in the
game as an outfielder and then switch
ed TO first base.
Cleveland has had no monopoly upon
the first basemen who have been made
over Going back to the early days
of the game, it is found that Pop An
son was third baseman, while Comis-
key was pitcher when he became a
IL
Doyle were catchers, and good ones,
too. Jiggs Donahue, one of the best
fielding first basemen the game has
known, was noted as being one of the
few left-handed catchers in the bust
ness. Frank Chance is another who
doffed the protector and mask to guard
first base. Jake Stahl is another.
Jake Daubert was pitcher at the

The duckpin quint representing the
Young Mems Christian Association is
doing brilliant work in the two leagues
in which it is entered. The five is a
member of two of the strongest cir
cults in the city, yet it is holding
second place, within two games or
first, in one, and is leading the other
by a slight margin.
In the Arcade organization the Y.
NJ. c. A. is on top. The ASSOCIATION
five has been setting fast pace all
season, and seldom has it been that
another club has been returned the
victor over it. In the National Capital
body the "Y" boys are holding on like
grim death to the Palace outfit, the
latter conceded to be one of the great
est bowling. combinations ever gotten
together in this city. In the two
matches in the National Capital circuit
Friday night the Palace set District
record, winning all three of its games,
but while that was going on the Y. NJ.
c. A. players also were doing a suffi-
cient amount of accurate work to give
them three victories over the Velvet
Kind quint, which is in third position.
The Y. NJ. c. A. may not win the
championship in either of the two
leagues in which it is entered, but it
deserves credit for it's accomplishments
against some of the strongest bowling
combinations the game has ever known
here. The association five is not one
that goes out and gets star whenever
and wherever it can pick one up, but
it retains the same line-up all the time.
In the averages of the majority of
teams there are from eight to a dozen
names, but in the Y. NJ. c. A. there are
just six-Meany, Whitford, John Eiker,
Earl Eiker, Jolliffe and Farrow. None

of the District. and yet tile team as a
whole gets there" which is all that
can be desired.
That set rolled by Palace Friday
night was indeed remarkable. That a
five should set a mark of 1,757 for a
set is something hitherto unheard of
in this city, where a 1900 mark is ex-
one was in brilliant form and all regis
tered high scores. Had Lennon reach
ed such totals in his games as did his
comrades it is probable that record
be equaled in a long while. as very,
very seldom is it that four or five men
of the same team strike their best
stride the same evening.
The Masonic Duckpin League plans to
play a very long schedule. according to
the list of games announced. There are
few organizations in the District that will
be running as long as that represent
ing the different Masonic lodges. Two
games already have been played, and the
next is to take place tomorrow night.
