Trade Education.

The report OF its Committee on Indus
trial Education shows commendable
economic insight on the part OF the Fed
Grafton OF Labor in Ne.v York City. IN
their educational progress. the intelli-
gent unions have ceased TO fight machin-
cry. TO restrict apprenticeship, or 20 de-
crease production. The federation now
advocates the Inclusion OF the general
elements OF mechanical trades in the
school curriculum, particularly IN that OF
the public high scnOol. Besides the rou-
tine knowledge OF a particular trade, the
knowledge OF the theoretical principles OF
physics and chemistry underlying all
trades Is recognized by the committee as
an invaluable addition 20 the workers
equipment This departure is quite as
much In the direction OF liberalizing the
rule-of-thumb knowledge acquired by
practice as II Is OF imparting n utilita-
Tian cast 20 popular education. The COM
mittee IS impressed with the reviving
demand for the all-round mechanic as
contrasted with the specialized trade
worker.

When seen last night Jennings seemed

series with the Athletics will probably de-

League pennant, 1 feel confident that the
outcome will be in our favor. All of the
men are in perfect condition and with a
good nights rest will have recovered from
tie fatigue caused by the long journey
from Detroit here. OF course, the Ath-

JEROME NOW AFTER
FIGHT PROMOTERS

NEW YORK, September 16-If a de-
cision of District Attorney Jerome holds
good. there will be no bout between
Stanley ketchell and the negro pugilist,
Sam Langford, at the Fairmont Athletic
Club here tomorrow night
Correspondence between Police Commits
sioner Baker and the district attorney
was made public last night In reply to
the police commissioners query whether
the police may legally stop the bout, Mr..
Jerome says:
The Fairmont Athletic Club Is a dulv
incorporated club. but when sparring ex-
hibltions are given. certain portions of the
building are reserved for members and
their guests, from which they can OBJ
serve such exhibitions. and no member
or guest of a member is admitted to such
reserved portions of the building unless
the member has previously paid to The
club fee for the privilege of such ad-
mission.
Assuming the facts to be as above set
forth. l am of the opinion that to engage
In public or private sparring exhibition
under such circumstances is a violation
of the penal law.
1T seems to me plain that the fee
charged for the privilege Of entering the
portions of the building reserved when
sparring exhibitions are given is, within
the meaning of the statute. an admission
fee.'"

Team Championship.

NEW YORK, September 16.-Yale won
the team championship of the Intercol-
legiate Golf Association for the fifth con-
secutive year over the links of the Apa-
wants Club yesterday, defeating Harvard
in the decisive match by score Of to
g. The victory for the Blue was assured
in the early hours, when every member
of the team scored a point in the singles.
With the match won there was really no
, need of playing the foursomes in the
| afternoon, but it was decided to live up
| strictly to the program. Incidentally, 1t
gave Harvard an opportunity to assuage
the sting of defeat somewhat, for the
| Crimson won all three of the four-ball
ma tches.
There were those unkind enough to de-
clare that Yale. flushed with success, felt
magnanimous and did not try any too
hard, but be that as it may, the Cam
bridge golfers played great guns at the
four-ball game and won on their merits
The feature of the singles was the i'm
pressive manner in which Harry Legg
came in with Yales first point He had
Mex. Hollins for an opponent. but the
best the latter could do was to halve one
hole Legg reached the turn in 80, where
he stood up On the tenth green he
brought off long and tricky downhill
putt for a 8, which ended matters then
and there. Leggs putting was deadly.
while Hollins showed tendency to top
his short approaches.
Several of the other matches were fair
ly close. In fact. they remained in doubt

men invariably proved the better finish
ers. In disposing Of his man B. P. Merri-
man started at great pace, and although
he grew tribe ragged coming home. the
Connecticut champion managed to get
around in ~.
Most noticeable in the afternoon was
the reversal Of form on the part of Hol-
Inns. Playing with H. c. Clark for a
partner, the Westbrook golfer went out
in a brilliant 35. His partner saved a
stroke at the sixth and also helped COM
ing home, SO that the pair got best ball

0ARSMEN BUSY
ON THE POTOMAC
Great Rivalry Between Local
Crews in Annual Regatta
Saturday.

The local crews of this city are now
putting in their best training stunts pre-
paratory to the encounters of next Sat
urday over the Potomac Park course. and
the stretch of water is thronged every att
ernoon by those ambitious to win the
beautiful prizes and bring glory to their
clubs.
The great rivalry existing between the
Potomacs and Analostans, noticed in The
Sunday Star. is increasing with every
hour. and the partisans of each or
ganization are exploiting the doings OF
their crews with the greatest enthusiasm
These two local organizations meet in the
first rowing event of the day, and 1t goes
without saying that the members of each
organization will be on hand early, as
the hour of starting will be. to root and
yell for their favorites. 1t is the junior
eight -oared event, and it will be strug-
gle between the training stunts of Coaches
Ten Eyck and Pat Dempsey, and both OF
these noted opponents of the art OF sweep
rowing are bending every endeavor to
bring victory to their side of the fence.
Last night a representative OF The Star
went out on the course to watch the do
ings as they appeared to his nautical eyes
and found things moving along in most
lively manner. The Analostans came
down the course early and close up on
the stern of their shell was Coach Ter
Eyck in the training boat giving the men
all sorts of advice, and paying especial
attention to the faults of Green at six
West at three. Daniels at two and Mid
dleton at bow seat, four entirely new and
green men at the game of rowing. AS q
