WOMAN TRUSTEE IS
TIRED OF TROUBLE
Mrs. Anstruther Davidson Leaves the
School Board After Weeks of Dis
sension Following Victory
of Radical Element

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 2S.-School af-
fairs in Hollywood have reached an
other unsettled stage through the res
ignation of Mrs. Anstruther Davidson
from the board of school trustees. Mrs.
Davidson is the woman whose cleo
ton to that position a little over a
year ago was almost unanimous in a,
total vote of about 500.
There was some feeling in the city
at that time that some radical changes
should be made in the teaching force
and policy of the grammar schools
There were two tickets in the field
representing what might be called the
conservative and the radical elements
in the city. Mrs. Davidson's name
was on both tickets, hence the almost
unanimous vote. The election hinged
on two other candidates, namely, The
odore Heinig, for the radicals, and
Graham Smith, for the conservatives
Mr.. Heinig was elected by small
majority, giving a seeming victory for
the radicals.
There was a feeling that Mrs. Da-
wilson would be the strong member
of the board and a great deal was ex-
pected to come from her election. In
response to the feeling of dissatisfac-
tiOn above referred to, the new board
dismissed over half of the teaching
force, instituted some radical changes
in the policy of the school and the
work began last year under the new
administration.
1t soon became apparent that the new
board had misinterpreted the attitude
of the people, for no sooner had they
began their adopted plan when they
discovered that even the radicals
whom they attempted to please were
very much dissatisfied with the con-
duct of affairs.
Discussions arose, criticisms came in,
meetings were held and a sentiment
was formed demanding the dismissal
of the new supervising principal, w.
f. Conover. This feeling reached it's
height just before the time for sign
ing the contract for another year.
A large mass meeting was held at
Wilcox hall, at which resolutions were
passed calling for the dismissal of the
supervising principal. Refusing to do
this, the board was asked to resign.
They stood their ground and elected
w. L. Conover for another year.
Things seemed to settle down and the
school work for another year has be-
gun.
The difficulties, however, have
seemed too great for Mrs. Davidson,
and the glory and honor have not
seemed worth the price. So she has
resigned. Who her successor is to be
has not been determined, but 1t will,
in all probability, be a man.

Among the Boxers

Big Jack Sieberg was only half ex-
ercised yesterday as Jack Geyer, who
has been his sparring partner since he
arrived in Los Angeles, was slightly
under the weather and boxed only
three rounds so Sieberg took on Kid
Harrie for two rounds and Dan Sui
livan for a session. Sieberg was ready
for more, although he had been on
the road for eight miles at Vernon IN
the morning and had performed on the
apparatus at Doyle's for three-quar-
ters of an hour before he donned the
mltts.
Sieberg is getting into fine shape for
his ten-round go with Jack Burns at
McCarey's pavilion next Tuesday even
ing, and if the indications are correct
he will give Jack Burns hard battle
when the two get into the ring to-
gether The fans are anxious to see
the heavies fight, and there should be
a great crowd at the Maud house next
week.
At Venice Jack Burns put in a busy
day training hard for the contest.
Burns took his defeat at the hands of
jim Barry philosophically, and realizes
that he has something to learn in the
ring, and If he defeats Sieberg, as he
expects, he will ask Barry for a re-
turn UldItll- DQllAS 10 pC4ll5 AOOhCu SeA
ter by his manager, Doc Gene Jeffery
and 1t is safe to say that he will enter
the ring fit to do justice to himself.
The card was filled up yesterday by
the addition Of a four-round bout, as
follows:
Jack Burns VS.. Jack sieberg ten
rounds, heaVywelghts.
Kid Cleveland VS.. Billy Cappelle, six
rounds, 120 at 3,
Charles Norvel VS.. Gene Sullivan, ten
rounds, 1873 at 3.
Hobo Dougherty VS.. Kid Rees, six
rounds, about 128 pounds.
Harold Orwig VS.. Roy Rogers, four
rounds, about 118 pounds.
This makes q most attractive card,
as the bouts take in nearly all classes
OF boxers from heavies to bantams.
Jimmy Austin will start east next
Monday and try his luck In the big
cities Of the Atlantic coast. Jimmy
has won nearly all of his fights since
he entered the ring, and the contest
with Kid Cleveland was the only one
in which Jimmy was disfigured to any
extent.
Dan Sullivan is anxious to get on
again, and as Manager McCarey thinks
the middle weight Is a conner judging
from his fight with Arthur Collins, he
will try and get some likely opponent
for Sullivan.
Harry Beal of San Bernardino has
| been in Los Angeles for two months
trying to get match. Just as soon
as things look bright for him his
would-be opponent has cold feet or
quits the town. Now Beal will take
on any boy from 140 to 150 and he will
be placed on the program for October
8 as one of the preliminaries.

On the GridirO11

Coach Sherman of the Santa Monica
high school had his squad of young
sters out for practice for the first time
yesterday afternoon, putting them
through punting and kicking practice
with view of hardening their muscles
and getting the boys into the notion
of playing football.
There are a number of last seasons
players who are expected to make good
on the school eleven, and with the new
blood from the lower classmen Santa
Monica should have a team to be
proud of.
Among the veterans who appeared
for practice are Meredith Thurston,
former fullback; William Harrison, the
fast quarter of last years team; Will
liam Haskell, who held down right
end; Frank Eager, right end, and
Robert Jackson, who did good work at
tackle.
An effort will be made to secure the
services of George Robinson, an
coach. Robinson played on the Uni
versity of Arizona team last season,
holding down a halfback position.
Rugby practice was resumed at Pra-
ger park yesterday afternoon by the
Polytechnic squad, numbering about
forty. During the stay of the circus
the mechanics practiced at Fiesta
park, but are now back at their old
headquarters. The bunch is rounding
into shape, and Coach Skinner and
Capt. Hendrickson are beginning to
size UP their future players. A prac-
tice game will be arranged in the near
future with some local aggregation.
Basketball at Poly high is a very
popular branch of sport. About twenty
five aspirants for the fast quintet are
reporting for practice every afternoon
and a lively practice is carried on. The
boys are working hard for their posi-
tions, as the team will be chosen in a
week or so. Those who are showing
up we'll in practice are Capt. Record,
last years swift center; Ross Leuin,
Fox, Phil Norton, Hubbard, Vance
Rivers, Clyde Potter, Hollywood's fast
forward and captain of last year, and
new man from Colorado Springs,
who is there at throwing goals.
4 game has been arranged with the
South Pasadena high school five on
their grounds week from Saturday.
In the County league meeting, which
will be held at Los Angeles high school
next Saturday morning, the Poly five
will be represented, and the team will
probably be represented this season In
that league. Poly not only cares to
capture a number OF trip victories, but
is also anxious Of annexing the county
championship banner to her list.

TIME average American fan believes
that boxing in England is con-
Il fined to a few big matches cabled
to the American papers, in which
American fighters are usually partici-
pants, and once in a while dub match
in the country. Boxing, little maya
zine devoted entirely to the ring game
and claiming to be the only leatlet IN
the world given up exclusively to mltt
affairs, tells a different story, and cites
dozens of battles being fought in Eng
land every week, some of them real
class. Freddie Welsh, the wonderful
little Welsh boxer sends me copy IN
which much space is devoted TO the
Jeffries-J johnson matter, and also TO
the future plans of Tommy Burns. On
one of the last sheets is found hair
mage advertisement of a book on the
art of boxing by Tommy Burns, snow
ing that the little Canuck Is taking ad-
vantage of every bit of his popularity
among the Britons.
Incidentally, we must score another
for the gentlemanly little Welsh boxer,
whose popularity in America was no
wise diminished by the fact that he
gave the greatest OF the American
boxers, Abe Attell, the battle of his
life in a local ring. Freddie quotes In
the story of his greatest fight-the At
tell match-written for Cardiff paper,
the statements of two local writers.
In another issue he sends the paper S
story of his latest victory, when he
beat down Joe Fletcher, the "9-stone,9-
pound" champion of England, at
Mountain Ash arena. Wales, Septem-
ber 6. Freddie is idolized by the press
and public of his land, and the dailies
devote entire pages to his ring work.

PUBLIC BATH TUBS ARE
DECLARED INSANITARY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Declaring
that bath tubs were insanitary in
public institutions and should be re-
placed by showers, DR.. r. w. Cor
win, superintendent of the Minnequa
hospital of Pueblo, Colo, caused a
lively tilt last night at the conference
of the American Hospital association
being held in this city.
He said that for patients with diff
ferent diseases to battle in the same
tub was unsanitary.
DR.. w. r. Ross defended the tub,
saying it was the only practical way
of bathing children, and, further, that
women would object to the showers
because they did not like to get their
hair wet when bathing.
The sentiment was about evenly di-
