ball.
The season of 1915 has. on the
whole, been a successful one for
the maj jor leagues, and for the big
minors given the AA classification.
This was due to a number Of rea-
sons, among which were a fresh
impetus given the game by the dis
integration and absorption of the
Federal League, thus putting an
end to very bad situation, and
the development of extremely
close pennant races in at least four
leagues; condition that continued
right up to the last week of the
race: also a spirited contest for
batting supremacy between the
star players of both leagues.
I would also attribute much of
the financial success of the National
League to a couple of long runs of
straight wins by the New York
Giants. Especially the last one,
which was only stopped after
twenty-six straight games had
been taken. This long series was
played Oh the Polo Grounds before
some of the largest crowds in tie
history of the game, and was &C.
companied by intense enthusiasm
oD the part of the fans and a great
nervous strain on the part of the
players, because there was just a
faint chance of overtaking the
leaders. Had the Giants started
with such a run of victories two
weeks earlier, l fancy the finish
would have been even more COM
pIicated than it was. When the
Giants make large sums of money
the other clubs all share in the
prosperity and replenish the de-
pletion in the treasure boxes
caused by the apathy of the home
populace at their lowly position in
the race.
Az for the players, what kind Of
people are they? Before the days
when l first saw an aggregation of
real major leaguers, much Of my
mind was spent in pondering this
question. l have a hazy recollec.
ton that l had them classified a.

human being and had mentally sur

or. In fact, they were heroes, one
and all. A closer view, together
with an acquired knowledge of their
haunts, customs, habits and char.
= acteristics dispelled nv previous
views and convinced me that they
were just human after all. Many
of them get their first trials in the
majors when they are still in their
teens. These fellows retain for 8
time a boyish attitude and no small
capacity for pranks and jokes OF
their fellow players. Those wht
come up from the sticks" are
for time, the butt of many witt
cisms at the hands of the veteran
or more experienced players. One

CLUBS is sufficient to render these
thoroughly cosmopolitan in mus'
respects. Then, too, the ranks ol
the players show a liberal sprink

As a rule the players reflect in
their method of play the mental
attitude Of their manager. We
will take, for instance, Manager
McGraw, with whom I feel YOU
are all sufficiently acquainted to
agree that he is aggressive to
degree. Since Mr.. McGraw be-
came manager of the Giants they
have won four pennants-,hree of
these in succession-and one
worlds championship. Now let
US look at the kind of players to

Vocational Training,

Or. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, prcsi-
dent Of the University of Califor-
mia. has declared against vocation
al training in the public schools
and in favor of the "higher cdu-
cation" which has been the chief
failure of our public school sys-
tenn. II is his idea that public
education should take the form of
the highest intellectual develop-
ment. on the principle that such
development should be equally
within the reach of the rich and
poor in a democratic country.
There is no occasion to dispute
that proposition, but there is need
to combat his other statement, that
vocational training in the schools
tends to perpctuate working
class and an aristocracy. II only
the rich can get a high education
and the poor must all be taught
trades. true democracy is lost in
perpetuatiOn of caste
Even that proposition is not open
to argument If il was true state
mcnt of the effect of vocational
training, but ii is not. Notwith-
standing the addition of merhani-
cal and trades instruction to the
common school and high school
curriculum, the road TO higher Cd
uCation at public expense in the
state universities would still be as
open as II Is now.-St. Louis Star.
