Activity Shown in Yards All AlOns Maine 0ooot. .-

Portland, Me-, May 7o.---A revival of wooden shiphuilding in Maine has been brought about by the war. Many of the old shipyards along the coast from Kittery to Eastport have re- stunned a semblance of old-tims ac- tivity and some of the larger yards are utilizing every available foot of space to increase their output.
 However. the plan of Major Gen. eral George W. GQe&hals to build steel vessels in which to carry food to the allies ts strongly approved by many of the old-t1fne buildere, who had been dubious of the original pro- posal for wooden bottoms. They had expressed the belief that the off shore traffic should be handled by . vast heet of standardized iron steam CTS. which they claimed could be constructed more cheaply and more quickly than wooden craft.

BROWN. READY FOR MACK

G1m City Crack to Stack Up Against
 Tough Proposition This Eyenine-
 sMedar and Bergin in semi.Final.
 New Haven, May 2S.-The curtain Wdll be rung down upon the New HAven boxing season tonight at the Wall street ice rink when the Arena A: c. stages what is generally con- stdered about the most inviting card oG the entire season. and on which the popular Chic Brown occupies a promi- uent place with tho celebrated Frankie Mack. the Bsachmont Flash. This a6tressive pair is earded to go 12 rounds at..1ss pounds, to decision, and the, very utmost < in .saction Is looked for. Both have trained hard and both are fit.
 And if there is great deal of in- t1rest in the star bout there is just n much in the semi-final affair of IF roAnds which brings the aggressive Charles Bergen of this city into action once again with the clever, and hard hitting Dave Medar of New York. Hrgen has fought Medar upon three oacasions. and the last time making sgch . showing that he was given q draw in ten rounds. Had 1t gonesa doAen rounds that night Bergen would no doubt have won. and the bout to- night was arranged to settle all daf hts.
 Tho opener will give Joe Currie. who. looked so good beating Frank Hsipesisi a week ago. n chance to even his score with Bobby Hansen. The iattsr stopped Joe in short order the last tina they meet. but tonight 1t sis likely another story will be told. The. pair have agreed to make 120 at 3 o'clock ,and 1t looks like . whirlwind battle between them. {.
 Dave Fitzgerald will referee and Frank, Smith of The Register hold the tkaAcA, and Hugh Rorty will do tho anaqmcing. A large crowd of out of-townors. will attend. and the biz bunch of fans from New Haven will propably spell another record house.
