 Word has just been received here to the effect that Peter HoI of the of Brooklyn, winner of the National al-around gymnastic championship at Los Angeles recently, was laboring under a big handicap when he captur- ed the title. He had been troubled with pains in the left shoulder for weeks before the contest, and a few days before the event took place he visited a doctor who informed him that a small bone in the shoulder was broken. Despite this handicap he won the parallel bars championship, an- around championship and took second place on the long horse and side horse competition.

FIRST WOMAN
 10 GET SOCCER
 OFFICE IS HERE

For the first time since soccer was instituted in this country a woman has been elected to office and in this respect Bridgeport leads the way as Miss Helen Clark, daughter of Sena- tor George B. Clark has been elected as the third vice president of the Bridgeport Public School Soccer lea que for next season. Miss Clark gain ed prominence last season by being the first woman to officiate as a ref cree in a football game and this act alone put Bridgeport on the soccer map of the country as the news spread like wildfire all over the country and even the New York papers gave the news great publicity. Now that we have started to have women soc cer legislators in this city it shows that the game is increasing in popu- larity among the. fairer sex and it will not be long before we have this sex playing the game with great reg ularity as they are doing at the pres ent time in England. Miss Clark has worked hard for the welfare of the game in this city among the schools and in addition to officiating re- fierce in 31 schoolboy league games last season she acted coach to the Barnuhl school soccer team which won the School Knockout competiti-
  Lincoln team for the league cham pionship.
 The annual general meeting of the Public School Soccer League was held on Monday evening in the rooms of the Board of Recrea ton when there was a good turn out of officials. There was great discussion over the pro- posed changes as set forth by the Pub lie School Athletic Committee but it was finally decided to abide by their decision and the eIction of officers took place and were as follows:
 President, Pierce V. Gahan; Supt., Board of Recreation; First Vice-pres- ident, G. s. Pratt principal Prevoca- tiona1 school; Second Vice-president Arthur Stead, delegate at large State association; Third Vice president Miss Helen Clark, coach of Barnum school; Secretary Treasurer, Joe Booth, national delegate State Associa- ton. Seven members were elected to serve along with the officers as the Executive Committee and these were as follows:
 Robert Rae, R. l.. Zink, J. c. Ross, D. Forrest. J. McAndrews, H. c. Went and D. Buckley. The program of games to be played next season was not discussed and as the vacation has started it will be the middle of Sep tembet be oerf @ tember before anything further can be done but it is reported that there will be sectional leagues next season and probably a grade league if the number of teams warrant it.

 writer today. Bat will leave that re- sort on Sunday morning and will go direct to Toledo where he will train in Jess Willard's camp for his bout with Billy Miske on July 3, at Ross ford, Ohio.
 Benny Valger, the New York featherweight, and Gussie Lewis of Philadelphia will meet in the prin- cipla bout of twelve rounds at the Crescent A e. in Lowell tonight This is Benny's third appearance In his two previous bouts Benny knocked out Phinney Boyle and Phil Logan, two local boys.
 Jack Doherty has just matched his crack featherweight, Billy DeFoe of Providence, who is we'll known here, with Ralph Brady of Syracuse for 12-rounder at the Portland, Me, club on July 25. This bout should draw big as both are exceedingly popular up that way.
 Clay Turner, the Indian heavy weight, and Charley Weinert of New ark will meet in an eight-rounder at the Armory A. A. in Jersey City on July A., instead of July ' as was previously agreed by the managers and matchmaker The reason is be- cause Turner has set his mind on going to Toledo to see the big fight on the Fourth. He will do no training and return on the fifth when he will start training for the Weinert en- gagement
 Johnny Rosner of New York and Patsy Johnson of Trenton will in all probability be matched for an eJght rounder at the Trenton A C. of Trenton, N. J., for July ', according to all reports. Rosner has been guar anteed $500 for his end and his man. ager is said to be on the verge of ac- cepting.
 Frank Carbone, the Italian middle weight of New York, has matched himself with Jack McCarron of AL lentown, Pa-, for a bout at the Lyric A. C. of Allentown, on July 4 Frank claims that he will receive $500 for his end, but probably half of that amount is nearer to what he will re- ceive.'
 And still there is talk of a Joe Ben jamin-Benny Leonard battle for July 4. The public will not stand for such a contest, for the very good reason that both are managed by Billy Gib- son. It is doubtful. too, if Billy would stoop so low as to doublecross an un- suspecting public with such a raw match.
 Eddie Meade is meeting with some hard luck these days. Kid Wolfe of Cleveland has run out of a match with Joe Lynch of New York, sched- uled for the American A. c. of Bal timore for the Fourth. Joe and Eddie had hopes of cleaning up financially and pugf1istically on this bout, but everything is off now. It all came through the refusal of Wolfe's mana ger to put up a weight forfeit
 Sammy Harris, who does the pro- noting at the American A. C., how ever, has not given up. On the con trary. he has made up his mind to use Lynch in Baltimore on that date and against Pete Herman if the cham pion bantamweight will consent to the match. Meade has offered to make Herman a present of 5000 if he will sign for the match.

BOY SCOUTS TO FEED BIRDS.

Twenty-eight troops Of boy scouts
were assigned In Minneapolis by L. S.
Dale. scout executive. to take care of
the bird-feeding stations in IA parks.
Feeding Of birds usually should
only be done after storms or during
severe weather." says Mr.. Dale. "The
idea is to keep the birds with us, but
not TO overfeed them. During mild
weather they are generally able to
make their own living, but this has
been an exceptional season, and the
natural food supply for birds has about
been exhausted.
There are 1.s0o boy scouts in the
city, and every one of them is inter-
ested in the protection of birds. 1t is
hoped that the scouts will open the
eyes OF the public generally to the ne
cessity of cooperation In affording this
protection to bird life in our parks"

SCOUTS
Fl
SCOUTS ARE NOT FOR SALE

Another letter received at national
headquarters suggests a criticism.
This letter states:
"There is hardly week that some
business house does not have some
plan to offer for using our organiza-
ton to sell goods"
1t is an unfortunate fact that SO
many men have failed to understand
that the ideal of service wrought into
the boy scout movement is entirely
free of the spirit of gain.
The scout good turn which takes on
so many forms and has even risen to
the high plane of national service in
the time Of war cannot be bought. 1t
is not devised to help increase the
gains Of any person or business or in
stitution. 1t is helpfulness outside Of
the field of commercialism.
1t Is true that scouts can work for
money. But 1t is equally true that
neither a scout nor a troop should be
worked for money. Let no individual
and no concern try to break down that
fine distinction.
II boy scout does any one Of the
many honorable things a boy can do
for business concerns and for others
to earn money. he does 1t as boy. not
as a boy scout.
