Harry says that the big league hurl ers would do a lot better work if they were forced to pitch two games a week aud play three in the out held. In other words, instead of having a pitcher get on the hill übout once in six days and rest all of the intervening time. Tut would have him hustling tive days iu every seven. The trainer goes back to the "good old days" for his proof that pleirtly of toil agrees with a hurler. He points out numerous examples of ancient dingers who used to consider themselves cheated if they didn't pitch th-ee games a week who invariaoiv were to be found in the outfield wlie 11 not on the firing line. "(Modern pitchers are altogether too much pampered." said Harry. "They are the most luxurious class of men in the world, with only about one day's work a week and absolutely nothing to do in the afternoons when they are uot needed for niouud duty. They' get slow and "heavy as a result or" so "much idle cess and are not able to perform in their best manner when called on. The records show that most of the pitchers who have done wonderful work have been regular workers. Some of the greatest performances in history were credited to pitchers who toiled at least every other day and sometimes had to pitch every day for long stretches at a rime. | "I would not advocate that the i pitcher be used seven days a week, but if a manager should get hold of one who happens to be a good hitter, there would be no harm in his being used iu [the outfield three games a week. It wouhln't hurt his arm to make the few throws that might be required of him an<pit would improve his general condi tion. Out-fielding a# a general ruie is not particularly arduous work. Some times a right fielder wiii all lav without having the ball in his hauds. Of course, you have to have somefoody out there who can go and get them and who can throw, because there is no telling when these talents will be bal ly needed. But the actual phvsical labor is very light. "Pitchers have a great war of im agining things are the matter with them, particularly fellows who arent any too sure of their jobs. We have had some on our club who managed to stall through a whole season just by thinking up different aches and pains. Whenever their turns came 'to pitch they found that something wa« wrong and *o postponed the day when thev would have to go out there and show the manager something. If birds like '.his were not indulged but were made to go out cn i fling unless there was something realiy wrong that the trainer could locate, the cltrb would avoid spending a lot of money for maling erers."

Pa., March 16.—York's sys tem of industrial education, which is said to 'be considerably in advance of that of any other city of Pennsylvania, was studied yesterday by superintend ents of public schools of three other cities in the State: M. B. King, super intendent of Industrial Education, State Department of Public Instruction, and Dr. Harlan Updegraff, professor of Edu cational Administration. University ot Pennsylvania. The citv superintend ents were Professor F. \V. Robins, Wil liamsport; Charles S. Foos, Reading, and H. H. Baish. Altoona. The party witnessed an exhibition of ! practical dressmaking by nigh school girls, and watched the work of school boy carpenters and machinists in their specially-fitted class room, and in the industrial plants of the city, where tiiey are given their finishing courses. They took much interest in the "Truant School." a York school de parture, which endeavors, through teaching of trades, to supply the inter est some pupils Jind lacking in the or dinary educational routine. The visit was made with a view to adapting York's system to other cities in Pennsylvania.

Nary Exceeds the Queen Elisabeth, Which Led Assault on Dardanelles Newport News, Va., March 16. When the new super-dreaduaught Penn sylvania slipped from the ways into the historic waters of Hampton Roads here to-day she took her place in the iead of the navies of the world as the mightiest lighting machine a>float. In sise and gun power the Pennsyl vania is greater even than the (jueeu Elisabeth of the British navy, which led the receut torritiv assault of the allies on the forts of the Dardanelles. While tihe >Britisfh monster carries larger guns, her main battery is only two-thirds the size of that of the Penn sylvania in number and the American battleship is 3,000 tons greater in size. The main battery of the Pennsyl vania will consist of twelve 14-iuch, 43 I calibre rifles, set in four turrets, three 1 guns to a turret, the plan of big bun j arrangemeut adopted in the sister ships : which preceded her, the Nevada and i Oklahoma. Her tonnage measurement is I 31.400 agaiust 27,300 for the Nevada and Oklahoma and the (jueen Eliza beth. The latter, however, carries eight 15-inch rifles, 45 calibre, set two to a turret, while the Nevada an<l Okla homa have ten 14-inch rifles in ■ two 3-inch gun and two 2-gun turrets.) In all t'hese ships, including the Penn-! svlvanis, the turrets are all on the cen ter line to concentrate their tire on 1 either broadside. Greater Tonnage Thau British Ships Five battleships of the British navy ; yet to be launched will have less ton nape tliau the Pennsylvania, the ships of the Royal Soverign class being of 24,500 tons displacement, and none will I equal the Pennsylvania in armament. | Each is designed to carry eight 15-inch | guns. Details of four other British battle ships, already authorized, are not known here officially. Five ships of the Japanese navy, es timated for in 1914 aud known as the Fuso class, will not equal the Pennsyl vania in tonnage with their displace ment of 30,000 tons, tout will carry the same main battery of twelve 14-inch rifles. Tlwey will exceed the Pennsylva nia in speed, estimates calling for 22 j knots agaiust 2" knots for the Penn-j ; sylvania. The 1914 estimates for the German navy call for tliree ships of the Kaiser 1 Predrich 111 class, with a displacement! of 29.000 tons and carrying eight 15-! inch rifles. The British ships of the Queen Eliza beth class greatly exceed those of any 1 other navy in speed, requirements call-1 ing for 25 knots an hour while the Royal Sovereign class will make at least i 22.5 knots. Other Great U. S. Vessels Proposed ' Since the outbreak of the war de-1 tails as to foreigu naval programs have ■ been jealously guarded and it is prob-! able that Great Britain, Germany and 1 Prance have laid down many vessels of j which no report has beon made. So far as is known, however, no vessels have , been planned wftich will exceed in size j the three American ships of the Call- j fornia class, work on which has barely i started. These will J ~ve a displacement of 53,000 tons each and armament' equal to that of the Pennsylvania. I The cruising radius of the Pennsyl-! vauia will be considerably increased by j the fact that she will be equipped for i oil fuel exclusively and will have a' capacity of 2,322 ions of fuel oil. The! Queen Elizabeth has a capacity of 4,-1 000 tons of oil because of her high I speed requirements. j From her enormous main battery the J Pennsylvania will be able to hurl, with the pressure of a single tiring lever, ! <'/» tons of steel on either broadside. In addition she wiil carry a secondary battery of twenty-two 5-inch rifles for ! fefense against torpedo boats. She will be fitted also with four submerged 21- | inch torpedo tubes and her ship's com j pany will be composed of 65 officers, : $63 bluejackets and 7 4 marines. The ship measures 60S feet over all and 97 feet beam and her mean draft is 28 i feet, 10 inches, almost the limit iu size j fbr the Panaima canal and present navy dry docks. There are only few docks iu the world which can receive her and she could not enter many busy harbors erocpt under most favorable conditions of tide and wind. To Cost More Than 918,000,000 When completed the Pennsylvania will have cost the government more than $13,000,000. She will -be ready | for commission, under contract, bv Feb ruary 28, 1916, Her keel was laid Oc tober 27. 1913. The enormous size of the new ship , and the startling rapidity with which | battleship construction had developed, | even before the great war, is indicated by comparison of the Pennsylvania i with tbe British battleship Dread naught, first of the all-big gun s'hijs in any navy. The Dreadnaught was es- 1 timated for in 1907. She was designed I to displace 17,900 tons but actually! is considerably larger. In the main ' battery are ten 12-iuch guns with a broadside fire of six guns and her trial speed was 21.2 knots. The Pennsylvania will be equipped with turbine engines as is the Okla homa, the Queen Elizabeth and ail of the newest English, German and Jap anese battle craft. The Xevada will | be operated by reciprocating engines; while the California, of the 32,000 j class, will be driven by electricity. One | of the other two American battleships i of the California class will have tur- i bine engines and the other reciprocat ing in line with the Navy Department's policy of not entirely abandoning the §©u^iyi I • Superb"' 1 reciprocating type until a thoroughly satisfactory mariue turbine is found. If the experimet on the California with electric ilrive, current to be generated by steam t-urt>iues running at high speed, is successful, the engine "problem may be solved. It already has proved satisfactory in a navy collier and the experiment with the California only needs to determine whether it is equally efficient in high power plants.
