STATE EMPLOYMENT
BUREAU DEFENDED
1876 Men Sent to Positions
During May Were Acceptable,
Declares Stevens
sLEwls's ATTACK DEPLoRED

The state employment. bureau is beine
handled largely through agencies tha'
are used to employment problems
rather than through some abstract and
theoretical scheme that may have de-
yeloped since the emergency has arisen
This, in brief, is the reply of the
service. and particularly of former Lieu
tenant Governor Frank b. McClain' tc
critirism voiced by Calvin Lewis, OF the
war camp community service at the
CITY Club Saturday.
r r. Stevens, assistant executive
director of the employment service
with Headquarters in the FINANCE
Ruilding. let it be known today that the
work of getting jobs for soldiers seeiheu
to be satisfactory to everyood! con
cerned, including the soldiers, ana tha'
Il was just possible that personal pl!ue
over something remote from card IN
dexes and efficiency had played part
In the present criticism.
'I have Just had telephone conver
sation with Governor McClain,' said
Mr.. Stevens. "My attention has been
called to this criticism. / had not
noticed il yesterday. l may say that
our figures for May speak for them
selves. Two thousand three hundred
and thirty three applied for positions.
Two thousand eight hundred and forty
nine men were asked for. We sent 2077
to places and of these 1876 proved ac-
ceptable.
Co. operation Given
Army officers from Colonel Wood
office have offered no criticism. We
know that with them Pennsylvania
stands ace high in the efficiency. with
which it has handled the returning
soldier movement. In this connection
it has had excellent CO. operation from
the old government bureau at Third and
Walnut streets.
''We have tried to unite the work of
the allied fraternal organizations by ap
pointing man selected by them to
work with us. He is Mr.. Samuel
Matthews, and he is working in the
pay of the state in CO. operation with
them. They have brought no complaints

by him to us. Then, in addition to the
booths of the Y. NJ. C. A., Y. NJ. II.
A., X. of c. and other employment
services represented in the City Hall
Building, we have at various times
had representatives of the Employment
Managers Association, who have
picked and hired men on the spot.
Also, through the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce, we have been
able, with the help of Colonel Hicks. to
send out appeals for jobs and sugges-
tions as to how to employ men. 1t
seems that we have co -ordinated these
various agencies in fairly effective
manner.
Among other things. Mr.. Lewis's
criticism was that ''at present the state
employment bureau is not even an ade
quate bureau of reference, much less
modern employment bureau using a
scientific system of placements.

ALBANY GIVEN
TROUNCINC HERE
TO END SEASON

Americas defeated Albany yester-
day on the Aggie diamond here by
the score of Z to 2. 1t was a case
of too much Ball, that is, mostly too
much Barney Ball, and then too
much baseball, that spelled the de-
feat of the Albany club.
Americas took the lead in the
early part of the game, and was
never in danger of losing this contest.
The first runs were scored when
Deakayn, first baseman for Amer
icus, got pretty hit over second,
and McMullen and Lane crossed the
home plate. From then on the Am
CIRCUS lads scored almost at will.
Grimes who started the game for AL
bany, was taken out in the fourth
inning and Welch who relieved him
Jared little better. Ball, pitching
for Americas, was never in danger,
and should have had shut out game,
but far an untimely error by Am
CIRCUS followed by hit by one Of the
Albany players who admitted he did
not mean to hit the ball but his foot
slipped and caused him to get the
necessary hit.
The game was a fitting close for
Americas to short season. 1t de-
monstrated that Americas has plen-
ty of material for a team next year
The team outplayed Albany in every
game, but luck was against them in
all except yesterdays. Most of the
boys playing for Americas will be
next season. If some of
the enterprising men will take the
lead next year, Americas can have
one of the best teams in the state
with as little expense as any team

left entirely to the juries there would
be vastly more opportunities for in
CAPABILITIES of justice than were the
degree of punishment left to the
discretion of the judges. The judg-
es, it was pointed out, are accustom-
ed to reviewing cases and make 1t
their business as nearly as possible
to make the punishment fit the crime,
considering intent, and other circum-
stances, at the same time comply
ing with the law. Under the pres
ent law there can be no felony case
reduced to a misdemeanor by recon-
mendation of the jury, and the re-
sulting tempering Of the Judgment
with mercy by the court; the de-
PENDANT must be convicted or fell
ony or. if it is found he is guilty
only of a misdemeanor, acquitted.
The actual wording of the act is
declared by lawyers to be made
ouate; Judge Newt Morris of the
Blue Ridge circuit pointed out facetl-
ously that under the law there was
no provision for the jury finding a
man innocent, even if the facts war
ranted, but that in all cases their
duty, as set forth, was that the jury
in their verdict in the trial of all
cases of felony = = shall prescribe
a minimum and maximum term"
This deficiency in the language of the
act. however, is not expected to
cause any trouble, as it is clearly an
in which common sense
must govern.
Judge T. E. Patterson, chairman of
he state prison commission, was one
of the advocates of the bill, which
increases the authority and therefore
the prestige of his commission.

Colonel Huston's hirelings had just

darkness began to settle rapidly over
the Polo grounds. Despite the gloomy
outlook, hopes were held out that with

Defeat Dodgers, 6-5

CHICAGO, June 20.-Two victories
in row proved too much for the
Dodgers and they lost to the Cubs here
to-day in their third meeting. The
score was 6 to 5.
For more than half the way Brook
lyn looked like the winner. They fell
upon "Schufnin" Phil Douglas and
drove him from the box in the fifth
inning. Sergeant Shcrrod Smith, how
ever, also received rough treatment
and the Cubs finally managed to put
over enough runs for the victory.
In the third, with Schmandt out,
Miller singled and went to third on
Smiths drive to right. Olson followed
with another smash into left, scoring
Miller, and Mycrs's two-base wallop to
right brought home Smith and Olson.
Chicago evened up in it's half on sim
giles by O'Farrel and Douglas and
Flack's triple to left, followed by Picks
sacrifice fly to Griffith.
With the score 5 to a against them
in the seventh, the Chicagoans staged
rally which netted them two runs.
Flack was safe on an error by Ko-
netchy and advanced on Picks single.
After Mann had forced out Pick. Mer-
kle came through with a double to left,
