MANAGER SUGGESTS
SCHOOLS OF BASEBALL
(By Associated Press)

BOSTON, Jan. 21-Schools of base
ball to solve the problems of obtaining
new players in the major and minor
leagues were suggested by Manager
Fred Mitchell of the Boston Nationals,
who predicted that such training
schools would be established at all
baseball parks within a few years.
1T will take time, patience and plen-
ty of careful teaching to develop the
players. but it will pay in the long
rum" Mitchell said. Keep them for
five years if necessary, and if you get
a couple of Maranvilles Hornsbys or
Hollochers out of the lot you are way
ahead
Buying and selling of big league
players is pretty nearly thing of the

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.--In a prepared

People Confused.
AT present people are confused by
the reports made by these committees
and refused to build. Some say they
intend to wait until the cost of mate
rial is reduced. Instead of decreasing
the price of material will increase.
1T is contended by some that in the
readjustment labor should participate
by offering it's services at a lower
wage in order to bring about produc-
tion-that labor should suffer with all
lines of business. Labor has suffered
and is suffering now because wages
have not kept pace with the increased
cost of living.

"A full honest days work should be
furnished by labor. We all know there
have been abuses on the part of trades
men, manufacturers and financial peo-
pie who have taken advantage of con-
ditions. The building trades have
thrashed out this subject and agreed
that any workman who does not do a

ciplined by his organization"

And worst of all according to Collector of the Port John o. Davis, just back from a trip to the Orient, as to be in barber chair on board said ship. with a shaky barber yielding the razor.
 The earthkuake shook the Ranking from stem to stern, and the barber bolted, locking Davis in the shop.
 Davis said the earthquake dccured in the region of the Lomocks Island, close to the point where the Chinese steamer Kong Moh was wrecked re- gently, with 1,200 Chinese passengers lost. and that the vibrations had giv- en rise to the belief aboard that the Ranking was meeting a like fate.
 That Ranking passed through the wreck zone three days ofter the vessel had gone down, and Davis said bodies were still to be seen floating around on the oceans bosom.
 Davis related a tale of heroism in connection with the rescue of 200 sur vivors by Captain Evans, of the Brit ish ship Carlisle, which put out to the wreck scene from Hong Kong, Evans, Davis said, found the Chinese refus- ing to leave the fragment of their boat protruding above the water and save themselves. With seas too heavy for navigation by small boats. Evans swan from shore with a line and eff fccter the rescue, being compelled to throw the majority of the panicky passengers into the water
 Evans was forced to jump in the ocean a second time to disentangle a hawser which had caught in the pro peIler of launch.
