A., Graham, superintendent of bubllc instruction, and .Washlno-trm Catlett, assistant superintendent, were re-elected to their respective .offices at the regular meeting of the board of education . Wednesday . afternoon. A communication from the American Missionary association; which controls Gregory institute, a lodal negro edu cational Institution, was also discussed. This dealt with the future operation of the school, and Superintendent Gra ham was instructed to negotiate with the association for the possible leasing of the Gregory plant, for use of the school in-conjunction with the public school system. - ; Eome discussion developed as to the status of the new high school building. now irt. course of construction at Thir teenth and Market streets, because of the receivership of 'the company, the Liberty Engineering company. How ever, no, action was taken, it being deemed wise and advisable to withhold action until it is determined whether or not the receivership is permanent. Major Graham, who was re-elected superintendent of public instruction, has held this- position for about 12 months. Professor, -Catlett, also "S-e-elected assistant superintendent, has been occupy fng , this office for several years. It was agreed that the consoli dation of the city and county school systems has, proved satisfactory. CAR IS RECOVERED . The automobile belonging to H. V.

Follow ing is the estimate of the Philadelphia Athletics, given by baseball writers who watched the training at- Lake. Charles, La., this spring: The pitching is better and the gen eral morale of the club is much better than a year ago, but there are signs that aggressiveness Is lacking. ! ne sirengtn or tne organization lies in its pitchers. Mack calls his "pre miers his "Big-Six," for they are six in number and each is six feet or more in height. Five of them-r-Perry, the veteran, Naylor, Rommel, Hasty and Harris, hurl from the- starboard side, while Roy Moore, who completes the sextet. Is left-handed?" Frank Brazil, a. Spangler, Pa., boy i just oia enougn. to vote, has proved the bright particular star in hitting, and appears to have won himself a per manent job at first 'base. He was the property of the Athletics last year, but was farmed out, and performed in four separate leagues before the season closed. Despite this peripatetic career his batting average for the season was .364 a mark which he gives promise of maintaining in big league company He is left-handed and fleet of foot". The remainder of the infield probably will be Dykes at -second and Duggan at third. A conetse has been on for shortstop, in which Shannon appears to lead7 with McCann a 19-year-old boy and Galloway following him slosely. In the outfield the forecast is partly cloudy with sudden ehanges. Tilly Walker in left field, Frank Walker in center and Welchin righl, seem a pos sible combination. But Paul Johnson. a Worcester. Mass., boy. who Js a hard, right-handed hitter and fast afoot, un doubtedly will be retained. Then there is Laweon Witt, whose .821 batting av erage last year is in his favor. An other candidate for the outer rim is Glenn Myatt, who operated behind the bat last season. In the catching department Perkins will be the regular, with Styles and Johnny Walker in reserve. St. Louis Browns ST. LOUIS. April 14. Lee Foni, man ager of the local American league team has not indulged in any prediction as to the outcome of the coming penant race further then to say: "My. players will go just as far as our pitchers can, and they'll be in there fighting all the way." The Browns led the American league in batting last year with an average of .308 and ranked with the leaders in runs scored. Fohl expects his pitch ers to better the standing of the team in this year's race, having finished in fourth place last season. .

When the Red Sox returned from their southern train ing trip to begin the baseball pennant face Jor 1921. this city scarcely knew its own. So many changes have taken place through trades and other causes in the team that only a few -of -the old faces will be seen. The Red Sox returned without Harry Hooper, captain and outfielder extraor dlnany, and with Hugh Duffy, who has managed other big league teams as director in place of Ed Barrows. The team is a melange that Is regarded as dependent for strength in the pennant competition on two members whose participation Is doubtful, Stuff y Mc lnnis, the first baseman who is at 6dds with the management over money and Derrill Pratt, transferred from New York, whois reported as adher ing to his Intention to quit baseball and continue as coach at the University of Michigan. President Harry Frazee. placing a valuation of $250,000 on the first string infield, comprising Mclnnis at first, Pratt at second, Scott at short and Vitt at third, lias persisted in the statement that it would be found intact when the season opened. He has in stituted court action to compel Mclnnis to play. In Shano Collins, obtained from the White Sox, Manager Duffy has an ex perienced stop-gap for Mclnnis' place at first, but at second he has been forced to call on Brady, a rookie from the- Pittsfleld .club of last year. Pi t tinger, anbthejr recruit from London, Out., is also a factor 'of second-line strength, with Ed Foster, somewhat lame, in reserve. The outfield, that was Hooper, Speaker and Lewis in other days, will be.Menoskey, Liebold and Hendryx from present indications, with variations possible through occa sional . use of other men. v Jo Rush flhSmwi !'

Since the retirement of Hans Wagner, several years ago, the Pirate management has experimented with a number of men in th j short field. . Maranville, obtained from Boston during the winter, has bern brilliantly performing according to trainingcamp reports, and the man agement expects to have -a stronger team than It has had since the pennant-winning days of 1909. George Whitted, last season's third baseman, will be stationed in right field, provided Clyde. Barnhart shows the form at third base expected- by Manager Gibson. BarnhaFt, graduating from the semi-pro ranks, went to the Southern association in 1920 -and was recalled hy-The Pirates last fall.
