SCHOOL-MARM TO - COACH HER PUPILS | By The AP Featire Service | NEW YORK, Aug. 10—-Miss Til- lian Spaulding is going back to Three Rivers, Mich., and say to her seventh grade boys: “This is the way that Gomez holds the ball to throw his fast one.” And when the youngsters have caught on, she’s going to say: “And this is the way he holds it to throw his curve.” Miss Spaulding knows. She came all the way to New York to find out. She gave one of | Columbia University’s deans the | surprise of his life when she ap- | plied for admission to the summer school class of advanced baseball coaching at Teacher's College, Co- lumbia. Columbia authorities wondered why a middle-aged school-marm would want to take a course of 15 lectures by major league players |and managers, designed for high | school baseball eoaches. | Knew What She Wanted They tried to discourage her But Miss Lillian Spaulding wouldn't be discouraged. And she wouldn't change her mind. She | knew, did Miss Lillian Spaulding, | that back home in Three Rivers the kids were crazy about base- ball. They asked for bat and ball as soon as the frost was out of the ground. | “Once a week we have a regular coach but on all other days we teachers have to supervise the ball games during play periods,” she explained. “And T've always want- ed to be able to tell the boys in my seventh grade just how to correct their diamond faults. “Baseball is a major interest in} our boys' lives and I'd be missing a great educational opportunity if 1 were not interested in holding their interest In it,” she said. “When I finish I'm going back and get my boys in the playing field and I'm going to say to them: “This is the way Joe Gordon plays his second base position.” Miss Spaulding says: “I don’t know why I can't teach 'em.” "SORRY" LUBBOCK, - Tex:, Aug. 10. — A young man from ‘Pexas Tech has discovered that the days when a sheepskin was the open sesame to employment are gone forever. He received this reply to his application for a high school teaching position: “Dear Sir: We see by your tran- seript that you are weak in math and so are we. We are sorry.” - YEAH FIDDLETOWN.
