Must Teach Milking
 But They Lack Cows

PARIS, Jan. 9.-Milking cows is one of the principal courses of study in the agricultural educa- tion departments recently insti- tuted in numbers of girls high schools here. Pupils proficiency in the "art" is to be determined by examinations.
 The course presents problems which directors of the schools are having difficulties in solving Since the Board of Education has NOT provided cows, the schooling must be done by proxy. In one or two cases where public bene- factors have offered to provide the bovines, teachers are stumped by the problem of teaching few score students with only one COW at testing ground.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6-The sale or trade of some of baseball's chief luminaries in corridor con- versations" at the major league magnates' meeting here has had about the same. effect on current big league players as the sound of the ax has on a barnyard full of turkeys.
 If whispered hotel lobby discus sions between rival managers aud owners can up-root such fixtures as George Sisler, Ken Williams and Heinie Manush, what chance is there for the lesser lights That was the question--or one of them. Another was: Who's next?
 The greatest upheaval appear ed to have hit the American league with few jobs positively safe except those of the New York Yankee regulars.
 Not even heavy hitting is enough to. save man from the !, drift downriver, it was evident as Ken Williams, outfielder, was sold by the St. Louis Browns to the Boston Red Soxidespite the fact he hit 1923 last season in compari- son with his average of 1920 for his previous ten years in the ma jors, and incidentally collected 17 home runs.
 SisIer Hit .327
 George Sisler, the Browns first \ baseman and former manager. slugged .327 last season, but this was below the high standard Of .346 which he had averaged in his II previous years in the big time and he had to go. Washington got him for about $25,000, a qu1r- ter of the sum at which he was rated a few years back.
 The sale of Sisler and Williams was a part of the announced plan of Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis Browns, to completely re urranize his team this year.
 Two more of the Browns stars --Elam Van Glider, veteran pitch CT, and Harry Rice, outfielder- went to the Detroit Tigers in the trade that brought the Browns Lu Blue, first-sacker, and Heinie Manush, slugging outfielder.
 Manush undoubtedly fell vict'i' to d batting slump. In four years in the majors he averaged 'sSo'

Hilltoppers Emerge Victor ious in One of Closest
 Games of Season

The Juneau High School came through again Saturday night in the A. B. Hall when they played the Unalga team on even terms in the first three quarters and came back strong in the final period with the score tied, and chalked up eight points to theil opponents four.
 Coach Waid of the High School used nine men in the game and his opening lineup with four sec ond stringers performed nearly as creditably during the short time they were in the fray as the first team men did later. Two of the subs were yanked in the second quarter and the remaining pair at the end of the first half.
 Throughout the game the score was close. Hard fighting against the schools team in the first quarter placed the Sailors in the lead 9 to 8 at the end of that period. In the next period the Hilltoppers came back strong and after the score had wavered sev- eral times they ended the period in the lead, F to 16.
 With their full fighting strength returned at the opening of tho second half the High School fell down for few minutes until the players found themselves and i:l a spurt managed to catch the fleeing Gobs as the quarter ended with the score tied at 23 all.
 The closing canto opened like n hurricane, the Hilltoppers SCOT. ing first on a free throw. It was nip and tuck for the next few minutes until the Hilltoppers fought their way into two point lead which they increased later with another field goal, giving them the four point lead which they held until the final whistle blew.
 
 Livie was easily the individual star of the game, with seven fieid goals and three free throws to his credit for a total of seventeen points. Laymond of the Tars was next in line with five field goals and one free throw, giving him an a1nvan nOjnf tota1
