Especial Correspondence
There seems to have grown up in the
public mind a good deal of confusion
as to the different Lever bills" now
pending in congress For number of
years in each session of congress one
or more bills providing for vocational
education in some form have been in.
troduced by congressman Or senators.
| The whole proposition seems to have
been put into best form up TO that
time in the bill introduced in the sen
ate by Senator Dolliver of Iowa, whose
untimely death was a severe blow to
the measure.
Early in the present session of con
gress Senator Carroll S. Page of Yer
mont, taking the Dolliver bill as
basis. prepared a bill and introduced it
in the senate. which has since been
known as senate bill No 8, or the
Page bill" This bill went to the com
mittee on agriculture and forestry, of
which Senator Page is a member, and
after many hearings. some of which
the writer attended. the bill was
amended in the committee and report
ed to the senate with the committees
approval. This is "a bill to cooperate
with the states in encouraging instruc-
ton in agriculture. the trades and in
dustries and home economics in sec
ondary schools; in maintaining instruc-
ton in these vocational subjects in
state normal schools; in maintaining
extension departments in state colleges

NATIONALS AT HOME.
First Exhibition Game Starts To.
morrow With GEORGETOWN.

Manager Griffith and his squad of
Washington players are due home this
evening, and tomorrow open the exhibit
ton season with the Georgetown team,
the game starting at $3.50. The Nationals
will all hike to the park tomorrow morn
ing for their regular morning workout,
and then back again in the afternoon
for the regular game. Joe Engel is card
ed to pitch for the professionals while
Dave White will serve them up for the
collegians. The work of Engel will be
watched very closely by the local "fans, -
as many believe he has a most promising
future. The other added attractions are

third and Moeller in the outfield, to say

The Blue and Gray boys believe they
can put up a stiff argument against the
Nationals, and should this prove true the
game itself will be well worth taking a
peek at.
The ground this morning was in a very
soft condition, but Supt. O'Day told
Star reporter that the sun was work
ing finely on the grounds, and If it
continued shining both the in and out
fields would be in fairly good shape by to-
morrow afternoon.

NATIONAL s. c. OFFERS
$4,000 FOR FIGHT
Matt Wells and Packey Nc
FarIand May Clash in Lo-
Cal Boxing Club.

NEW YORK, March o6-The National
Sporting Club Yesterday made offer of
$4,000 for a ten-round bout between Matt
Wells, the lightweight champion of Eng
, Land, and Packey Mcfarland of Chicago.
No date was named by the club, this
fea ture being left to the boxers. \ def
mite answer is expected within a few
days.
The purse is the largest offered for
lightweights in New York in years, but
there is little doubt of Mcfarland and
Wells drawing such gate. Knockout
Brown and Ad Wolgast excelled that
figure at the National Sporting Club "a
year ago. and this bout will class ahead
OF the Brown-Wolgast affair. Wells and
Mcfarland rank alone as lightweight
boxers. and a contest between this pair
should prove the greatest exhibition of
scientific boxing seen in New York in a
decade.
When Wells was in America several
months ago he was matched with Nc
arland. but the bout fell through when
the Madison Square 4. {. lost its Ii
cense to hold shows at Madison Square
Garden. The English champion has de-
ciared that he is anxious for a bout with
the clever Chicagoan, and Packey has
been quoted saying that he would
be pleased to match his skill against
the English champion. The weight ques-
ton should not cause any trouble, as both
men scale at the same figure, 135 pounds.
Both have shown that they can make
133 pounds in the Afternoon, but their
regular boxing weight is between 1876
and 1873 pounds.
Mcfarland has not fought i'm New
York except at the Fairmont A. G.. and
is now under contract with Billy Gibson
for two more bouts at the Bronx club
house.
