HERALD MEN BUSY .ON SPORTS RESULTS
Hundreds Of Telephone Calls Received on Saturday Afternoon

A cross section of human nature can be readily gleamed from a Sat urday afternoon spent at the tele- phones in the Herald office. The delphia- Chicago baseball game, the Yale football game, the N. B. H. S. game to say nothing of about 100 other games played around the coun- try presented problem for those who answered calls. When there is all one has to do is to pick up the receiver and announce the result, such as Dempsey in the fourth or Kaplan by decision. When hundreds of games are being played, it is nec essary to say Herald office" and ascertain which game the informal ton seeker wants. Time is the big element in telephone answering. The Herald men can't take a chance on saying Yale fl, Brown C, for they are not mind readers and have been criticized because they didn't realize that the person on the other end of the wire wanted to know the results of the Lexington high vs. Newton high game. It takes time for regulation dressing down and others are waiting for the line, so what to do? When there are hun dreds of games to select from, the telephone answered simply says Herald office" and he hears How did the game come out?' Then comes the guess work, which takes time of course. The guess is gener- ally some remote game such as West Virginia 6, American universi- ty 0. Some of the listeners get mad at that, others laugh and then ask for the game they want which is cheerfully given. Many requests such as "Fordham game, please, ' gets the score in jig time while other requests which there seems to be something secret about takes a longer time.
 Another question which annoys questioners is Whom did they play?" That's natural question on the part of the Herald information glvers for they has list in front of them, the college which gets the largest score being first. and the chance is that they are trying to go down one list of names instead of two. Some people are thankful for the information, others seem to

 Pay Raised Before Graduation

Pay Raised Before Graduation
 The third year finds the ap- prentice working all of his time in an outside shop with the exception of four hours weekly spent in the school. His pay during this period increases from 37 cents an hou. to SO cents an hour. At the end Of his three years course, he re- coiycs a diploma from the school.
 By the time he is graduated" <" says Eocnigk, the student has be- come a good general mechanic, capable of making repairs and ad- iustmcnts on engines, magnctos. starting and lighting systems and carburctors. He is able to take down, overhaul and repair all parts of any standard chassis, including tranSmissiOns. rear axle. front axle and power plants. He can bore and grind cylinders. fit pistons. adjust bearings, grind, rcscat and set valves. He also understands the various instruments he has to ap- ply to his work and numerous other things that can be only absorbed in a school"
 While systems similar to this are being operated in several other cities, the Cleveland plan is thought to be unique in the field. Other trades, such as building, foundry and pattern work, machine shop. plumbing carpentry and electrical work are taught here.

 The most pleasure is derived from giving the high school pupils the score of the high school game when the locals win. The old number 925 is busy the time of the N. B. H. S. Hartford game and the Yale-Har- yard tussle. If both New Britain and Yale win the business office catches the spirit of the occasion and reflects the joy which is given them over the telephone.
