Reds Beat N. Y. Yankees,
Ito /; Ruth Does Nothing

MIAMI, Fla, March 16.-The Gin
cinnati Reds started the present sea-
son where they left off last fall, and
defeated the New York Americans
2 to 1 at Tatum park, Monday after
noon.
Jimmy Ring and Aldofo Luque had
the American leaguers guessing esd
would have got by with a shut-out
save for bobble by Crane. The Reds,
however, could do nothing with Mays,
the big right handler letting the
champs down with one hit in the inn
ings he pitched. Thormahlen was eff
fective, but wild. and the champs
took advantage Of all opportunities.
More than 1000 Miamians turned
out for the game and were betting 1
to that Ruth would knock the ball
over the right field fence. Up to
date, this feat has never been &C
complished at Tatum Park In d regu-
lation game. The best the mighty
Babe could do was to scratch a single
IN his second trip to the plate.
The second game of the series will
be played Tuesday afternoon, with
Salee and Eller in the box for the
Reds. Shawkey and Mobridge will
divide the hurting for the Yankees.

BASEBALL HANGING
FIRE HERE AS WORK
GOES ON ELSEWHERE

While Richmond is still hanging
fire on the matter of finances, other
cities in Indiana. Michigan and Ohio
are planning for the opening Of league
baseball seasons.
President Dickerson. Of the Central
league, has been in several cities
where the Central desires to place
franchises. and 1t is probable that the
circuit will be completed this week.
At the same time, Louis Heilbroner,
Of FIT Wayne, and Joe Carr. Of Column
bus. O., are scouting through Indiana
and Ohio. trying to straighten out the
proposed Indiana-Ohio league. q
Both Bidding for Richmond
n Both circuits are counting largely
~ Richmond to fill and the heads of
both leagues are anxious that Rich
mond fans get in their circuit.
They believe that Richmond is
live baseball town, and one that will
support league baseball. If properly
presented. The Booster button cam
paign, which was started last week,
has been far from successful so far,
and unless the buttons are sold, Rich
mond will be without baseball next
season, except for the factory leagues.
The amount to be raised by the
Booster campaign does not include the
funds necessary for financing the club
entirely, but men at the head of the
baseball proposition have agreed to
raise the remainder of the amount
needed above the money obtained
from the button campaign, provided
10000 buttons are sold at 81 each.
VIII Have Athletic Field
With this amount, Richmond will
not only have place for league base
ball this season. but will have an out
coor athetfcl field that may be used
for all outdoor sports in the future.
The Richmond Exhibition park Is
an asset to the community, and Is
needed here, but It will be necessary
for every lover OF baseball and other
outdoor sports to boost the button
campaign, to insure the park from
being torn down and converted into
a pasture or building lots.
The baseball buttons will be ready
for delivery this week. Twenty-Five
sales agencies have been listed, and IS
more are needed. Unless the buttons
are sold, Richmond will lose its base
ball park. and not only it's chance for
baseball this season, but for all time.

Wabash Withdrawal
Harris |. T.. A. l. Body

The withdrawal of Wabash from the
Indiana College Athletic league an
nounced Monday probably means the
of the end for this organi
cation. DePauw withdrew last year
and Hanover and Wabash this year
This leaves Earlham. Butler, Rose

Franklin will probably follow Wabash

two.

mot play the required number Of I. C.

who are able to go ahead by hard
work and honest effort. Then by be-
ing promoted by subject rather than
by grade 1t is possible for an apt
pupil to make three years work in

There Is no such thing as skipping
a grade and those who think thus are
only deceived by ignorance or wilful
misunderstanding. Because one boy
outruns another in foot race is not
saying that the boy who wins the
race skipped a part Of the distance.

1t is in the Junior high school or
in the six year H. S., if you please.
that the boy really comes into his
own. 1t is there that he is able to
find out what he can do best. It is
there that he comes in contact with
different teachers and different per-
sonalities and where for the first time
he has choice of subjects. Not all
choice to be sure but up until this
grade there has never been any choice.
Again. it has been the experience of
all school men who have collected
data on the subject, that the Junior
high school Is a great stimulus to the
boy or girl for staying in school.

DESPITE PROTESTS,
JUNIOR H. s. GOOD,
TEACHERS CLAIM
BY a Wayne County School Expert

Notwithstanding the fact that there
have been junior high schools in the
state for several years there are still
many who do not know the purpose
nor the plan OF this orga nization. Then
there are some who cons cientiously
believe that the best way Of doing
things anyway is the plan that was
used when they were in school or per,
haps when they taught school. There
Is not a single business of any I'M
portance that is carried on in the way
in which it was done 20 years ago. so
why believe that the schools should
do this?
The smallest class OF people we
have in the world is the class that Is
always found arrayed against reform
and progress. This class is always
found sitting on the tail of progress
and is only pulled along by the great
er efforts put forth by the reformers
in any line of work.
So it is with the school. There are
many people honest in their belief,
and who really believe that promo
tons in school work should follow the
old plan, where John was promoted
to grade seven if he got to page 200
in his arithmetic and if he only got to
page 1919 he was retained IN the Slxtn
grade for fear he would miss some
thing before going to the seventh.
Would Promote by Ranks
Then these same people admit that
all pupils start out in school with diff.
ferent degrees of ability and still &C
cording to their argument they must
all be promoted grade by grade. This
argument carried to the extreme
would mean that all normal pupils
would graduate in the same number
Of years. There would be no more
reason in that than to suppose that
half dozen race horses starting even
would come under the wire at the
same instant at the finish of the race
| The Junior high school is the logical
place for the pupil who is ahead in
his work to branch out and be pro-
NOTED by subject rather than by
grade. II pupil fails in seventh year
English but passes in arithmetic, he
should 60 to the next grade in arith
metic but be retained in English.
Rather than doing an injustice, it Is
Just the beginning of justice for those
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-03-16

of following his more capable class
mate to the ninth year. "
The student who was promoted to
the seventh grade Is regularly pro-
NOTED to the eighth grade the next
year, etc.
You and I who went to school under
the old plan studied practically the
same books in the sixth, seventh, and
eighth grades, SO why become alarmed
II some pupils are able to complete
these books sooner than others. We
have practically. the same subject
matter and in some subjects the iden-
teal books, in the seventh grade that
we have in the eighth grade. Hence
1t follows that 1t is possible for some
pupils to make three grades in two
years and not skip subject
So after all is said and done, n IS
generally agreed that while this may
not be the best way II is in advance
Of the old school organization, and
to say otherwise would be about as
laudable as the Irishman who hit his
thumb a hard blow with the hammer
and tried to stop the pain by saying
it did not hurt. Reforms will go on
as they have continued to go on. and
the thing for US to do is to get out
of the way and bid God speed to every
thing that will help.

BIG PRICES PAID
FOR U. s. STATIONS

Thoroughbreds of high class have
always brought big prices. During the
last twenty-five years horses of top
grade have brought from $4,000 to
100000. Turfmen and breeders in all
sections of the world have been willing
to pay fortunes for horse, no matter
where he was bred-in America, Eng
land, France, South America or
Australia-proyided he had the right
blood lines. Tracery, bred in America
by an English sire, Rock Sand, and out
Of Topiary, daughter of a French
mare, now leads the list in the matter
Of prices paid for stations. Prince
Palatine, his rival on the English turf,
follows with 100000. Previous to this
sale Prince Palatine was sold for $685.
000 Rock Sand was sold twice, bring
ing $4,000 in his first purchase.
Cyllene also proved a profitable in
vestment. Hamburg, the great Amer
lean racer, was sold three times and
brought prices each time. st. Blaise,
sold to settle the estate of the late
August Belmont, father Of Major
Angus, Belmont, was the first horse
In America to bring 100000. Some
