WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Thc out
standing result today of the annual
schedule, meeting of the American
League club owners and officials here
was the definite abandonment of the
negotiations between the New York
and Detroit clubs whereby the former
sought to secure the services of Out
fielder Neach in exchange for some in
field material desired by the Tigers.
Manager Cobb of the Detroit club,
announced the deal has fallen thru be-
cause New York declined to consider
any exchange involving Shortstop
Scott and Detroit would not give up
Neach for any other Yankee player.
The Detroit manager then WAS said
to have failed in an attempt to inter-
est President Frazee of the Boston
club, in deal for Infielder Dugan.
A long discussion of the draft ques-
tion by the magnates yesterday re-
suited in decision to postpone any de-
cision until it was determined whether
the advisory council could not annie
ably adjust differences with the five

PARCEL POST CLASS
CREATED AT SCHOOL

What is believed to be the first
parcel post class in Washington schools
has been established by the. seventh
grade at the Ammot School, 5th street
and New York avenue.
Pupils weigh and wrap parcels of
sand, figure out the postage on a big
coming map. such as is used by the
post office, and in other ways learn
the business of handling parcel post
matter.
The work is undertaken to acquaint
the pupils with the necessity of
proper wrapping and handling of this
class of mail matter. rather than
with any idea that the pupils may
qualify as post office clerks.
The Washington city post office is
much interested in this class. and is
cooperating with the efforts of the
pupils, in the hope that the work of
the class may be extended to other
classes and other schools.
City-wide establishment of such
classes, Postmaster Chance believes.
would help tremendously in Kidding
the mails of poorly wrapped and ad-
dressed packages. which must be re-
wrapped at the city post office in
many cases.
