P. H. S. NOTES
Commercial Pupils Get Practical Ex-
perienee

The Commercial students of the
Senior class turned out at o'clock
sharp Monday morning to begin a sew
en-hour day of Office practice. Four
teen students became the employees of
the Commercial instructor.
Instructions were given and in
short time each had assigned to him an
ordinary days work for an ordinary
stenographer. The general layout of
the work consisted of regular Office
routine: writing of business letters.
bills, filing, sending of kilograms and
telephone practice.
1t was arranged for a student to be
at the Israel Putnam school office and
through careful coaching telephone
service was carried on, giving each
student chance to transact business
through the medium of that great
time-saver. A special ATTEMPT was
made to develop clearness, definiteness
and business-like courtesy in their
dealings; points which are such yalu-
able assets in the business world and
which are so often overlooked.
The results were surprising and the
benefit derived by the individuals con-
cerned seemed to amply repay them
Tor their conscientious efforts. Most of
the students agree that it was after a
long, busy day when they were dis
missed about 400.
Qualify For Awards
during the year several students of
the typewriting course have qualified
for awards in the official tests sent
out monthly by the different typewrit-
er concerns. The following is a report
of their records. The tests are espe-
cially difficult in the fact that this
year ten words are deducted as pen-
atty for each photographed error and
limit of five errors is placed on each
contestant.
The figures are the net average
words.

Employees Recently Laid Off Return
 to Work At Shops

Eighteen employees of the car de- partment of the Cotton Belt shops will go back to work tomorrow morn ing, according to bulletin posted at the shops today. These men with 28 others were laid off two months ago. No information was obtain able as to whether there would be an increase in the working force.
 One official of this railroad said that the Cotton Belt had done the greatest business in it's history the past four or five months. This is largely due to the fact that the Cot ton Belt has been less affected by the switchmen's strike than other roads in this section of the coun- try.

White Sox Are Last
 Team Tn Big Leagues
 To Start To Train

Waco, Texas, Mar. 1.-The Chica- go White Sox began, here yesterday what will be the shortest training sea- son any big league team will enjoy. The players sailed into their work with much spirit and seemed glad to get onto the field again.
 President Comislley has been cured of long training trips, and has come to the conclusion that when players train too long and too much they in- variably grow stale by the time Aug
 ust rolls around, and have not enough stamina left for a driving finish in
 September-a belief shared by many
 star ball players, including Ty Cobb of Detroit, and Ed Rousch of Cincin-
 nati At any rate, President Conlis- key, has evidence that his belief has some merit, as since he cut out the long training jaunts to California an6 come back to his original plan o1 short training trips, he has won g couple of pennants.
 He can go back much further iI i this matter than any other club owner as in the days when he was a player
 and manager and won four pennant! | in a, row with the St. Louis Browns | a feat equalled only by Harry Wright Boston team, from 1872 to 1875 | training trips were not known then and when players reported at the city | in which they were to play they tool l a week or two of stiff practice anC 1 then jumped into the championship
 race, which was always shorter there 1 fore less enacting and wearing thai l the present long 154-game season.

IS
 SIGNED UP BY
 HARTFORD CLUB

Now that the signed contract or Pitcher George Pennington has been received by Manager Howley of Hart ford, the Senators are all puffed up with pride and are making vague remarks about the best pitching staff in the league
 The pitching staff will be construct ed around George Pennington, a hur- Ter of recognized ability, There are at least frye Class AA clubs that could use the pitcher handiIy and Manager Howley is counting upon Pe1nington to prove his mainstay. Pennington is a former high school pitcher of Brooklyn He was making good with Portland out on the Coast last season, winning nine games in which he allowed the opposition four runs, when he became i'll with stom- ach trouble. He tried to persuade the Portland club to transfer him to a team in the East as he wanted to be near home, and when his efforts were unsuccessful went home. How lev was aware of the fact that the pitcher would not go back to Port land and Immediately upon his arr1Y- al here made plans for the Hartford Club. His efforts were crowned with success.
  season and recovered from his ill., ness, he finished out the season with the Farmers of Brooklyn. Penning- ton first caused a sensation as a pitcher while the noainstay on the mound for Public School 152, which won the pennanf in the Public School League of Brooklyn several years ago. Upon being graduated he con- tinued his spectacular work with Commercial High School He pitched in the Prospect Park League with good results, and in 1914 he was taken on the spring training trip to Angus la, Ga, with the Brooklyn Superbas and given a. trial
 He was farmed out to Lawrence then in the New England League and spent 1915 and 1916 with the same club Brooklyn, because of a surplus of pitching material, eventually re- leased it's claim to the Brooklyn pro- duct. He was drafted by the St Louis Browns in 1916 and spent 1917 with Newark in the Internationa, League. In 1918 he was with Mobile of the Southern. Association and 1as year with Portland, Ore. Penning- ton is short of stature and chubby He has all the stuff on the ball thai goes to make a big league pitcher but his size seems to be against him

FEARS HE IS THROUGH
 IN BIC LEAGUE

Chicago, March IT = Word came from Los Angeles last night that Charley Herzog, second baseman of the Chicago Cubs, had postponed his operation for a rupture until he gets a thorough tryout in a game with the Los Angeles team.
 In discussing his case Herzog said: 'FThey may soon be counting me out because I have always said that when am unable to play, according to the skill I have shown in the last six or seven years I would resign rather than go along to kid myself and the public.
 eff, after an operation, I find have slowed up and cannot regain my old form I will not attempt to play, It will be necessary then for the club to find another second base man.
 Baseball has been good to me and of course. hate to get out of it; but I am not going to bunk anybody by sticking around when am through. ,

Photos Are Used to
 Catch Gamblers at
 Coast Ball Grounds

Officials and club owners of the Pacific Coast League are determined to curb betting on their ball games in their parks. They are planning a 'sRogues- Gallery" which will include the photographs of notorious gam blers who have infested the grounds in San Francisco, Oakland, Salt Lake City, Portland, Los Angeles and other cities in the circuit. These pho tographs will be posted at the en- trance of each park, so that the clubs can more easily detect the gambling pests. The big leagues should follow this excellent plan to stamp out an evil which threatens to shake the con- ddence of the public. No half way methods should be employed. Bar the gamblers, one and all, no matter what it may cost!

Maine SpOrtsmen
 EXterI1inate Moose

Maine last autumn had it's first open season on moose. in five years, and it is the opinion of Willis E. Persons, Commissioner of Fish and Game, that. another open season will just about exterminate all the moose in the Maine woods.
 Moose had so increased in some counties,'' he says i'll his report where they had not been hunted for four years that they had become quite tame and appeared often in the settlements. But they fell an easy prey to the hunters who had then located months before the seasor opened.
 "One more open season will exter- minate the moose. Our lakes ana streams when depleted can be re | stocked, but when this monarch o. , the Maine woods disappears he i: gone forever"
 Deer hunters, according to his re
 port, had a big season also. Resident of the State took out 4,313 licenses l and non-residents received. 2,557 per
 nits. These hunters bagged 5,74; | deer, 4,1S5 of which were shipped ou 1 of the State.

KILBANE READY
 TO BOX HERMAN
 JULY 4 IN WEST

New York, March r. - The last time that Johnny KiIbane, feather weight champion of the world, went out of his class he met with a knock aout at the hands of Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion. Johnny now contempIates going out of his class again to meet a title holder Now Johnny is going to tackle the titleholder in the class below him, not above him. A group of Cleveland sporting men are trying to arrange a twelve round bout to a referees de cision between KiIbane and Pete Her man, the worlds bantamweight champion.
 They plan to stage the bout at Cedar Point, Ohio, on July 4. As Her man Taylor also is trying to land the card for his club at Atlantic City the Ohio promoters by no means are cer- tain of getting KiFbane and Herman. Both title holders have shown a strong tendency to pass up decision -bouts for no decision affairs and if the Atlantic City offer approaches the Ohio bid, Taylor is likely to get the match.
 The bout probably will be a better card in the West than in the East. Most of KiFbane's bouts here have peSn O1SdppOIuL1nS. EdSLeTneIS were willing to pay to see Kilbane en- gage in bouts with youngsters who had a chance of winning the title but it is doubtful if many of the fans would betray any great anxiety to see Kilbane in the ring with Herman ! Like Johnny, Pete isn't any too biz a drawing attraction here. Herman lacks pugnacity and aggressivenesS | and does not boast of any great
 amount of skill. Both KiIbane an6 | Herman are shy of the 'tcolor" ana
 magnetism that made Terry Mo, l Govern and other boxers such splen- 1 did drawing cards
 Both KiIbane and Herman have 1 been wary about selecting their op l pCnents. Neither cares to engage il i a bout unless ''easy pickings'' ar, l promised Only on rare occasions 1 have they been drawn into real em | brogIios. Kilban'es most noticeabI | error in judgment was when he wen i out of his class to take on Leonard
 Since then Johnny has been nor

 pert, owns the Yankees, arrived here
 yesterday afternoon and brought the
 good news that he is confident that
 Home Run Baker will return to the ! Yankees. Huston refused to be interviewed on the subject, but strongly intimated 1 that he expects Baker back It is probable that the hard-hitting base man will join the team on it's return to the North, and he may participate
 in the opening game at Philadelphia on April 14.
 Baker told Huston that his first l consideration, now that Mrs. Baker is dead, is to see that his children re- ceive the proper care while he is away : playing baseball. If he can arrange
 for their care there is no doubt that ; he will again don New York spangles.

YANKS'* CLEVER 
 PITCHERS FOOL
 REDS BATSMEN

Miami Fla, March 1.-The long string of defeats which has su11ied the record of the New York Yankees in the South this spring was broken here yesterday, when the Hugmen took their bats in hand and admin istered real big league licking to the proud worlds champion Cincin- natl Reds. The final score was to 0, and the manner in which the vic tory was won made up in large meas ure for the defeats which the Tanks had previously suffered at the hands of their various opponents, including their own rockies.
 While the Yankees did very well at the bat yesterday, gathering a total of nine hits and placing some of these in timely spots, the really pleasing feature, so far as Miller Higgins was concerned, was the excellent work of his pitchers, Bob Shawkey and Jack Quinn. Not only did they hold the worlds champions scoreless through the nine-inning fray, but there was not a time in the entire game when either one was seriously threatened with being scored on-
 Shawkey, who started the game and pitched the first five innings, yielded but four hits and kept these so well scattered that he was never in difficulty He had his usual good con tro1, and, though he did not seem to be extending himself to the limit, he had something on every ball pitched. He had evidently entered the box with the intention of getting the Yankees back on the right track, and before he gave way to Quinn. he had succeeded. The Yankees by this time had scored five runs and the issue was no longer in doubt.
 Quinn who is always a good Spring time pitcher, was able to continue thu good work He went through tht four remaining innings with onl! three hits charged against him, ant issued but one pass. He was stead! at all times and the Reds were help less againt his delivery.
 On the other hand, Waiter Reuthe1 who was one of the stars of tn, worlds series last October, was hi fairly hard in the four innings h. pitched, and, to make matters wors' for him, received poor support iron Crane at short. The latter allowed four balls to trick1e through him il the course of the game, and gav Reuther and the Reds a setback the, never recovered from.
 The second inning was the fata one for the Reds. The Yankees SCOT ed four runs in this frame, with hit by Pipp, Ward and Shawkey and CT TOTS by Crane. In the fifth inning with Gerner in the box for the Reds the Tanks put over another, Bo Shawkey driving this run home wit, a sharp single.
