young Everett was sort Of born into
that trade in the days of general me-
chanics, when machinist could do
practically anything and did not spe-

When he was scarcely sixteen Ever

and started in with steel scrub

While he was thus training his body

Congress by writing speeches on
many and varied subjects for those

Everett Kent'S father had JOB

Russian army, died yesterday at the
Emergency Hospital in Washington,
where he was taken four weeks ago
Funeral services will be held tomor-

Col. Grinioff had 4 remarkable and
picturesque career. He was a mem
Der of the old Russian aristocracy
and under the czarist government
was an officer of the Royal Guards
and commandant of the arsenal at

he machine by powerful, relentless
talonS OF steel. It was only the
miraculously prompt action OF 4 vet
eran fellow workman in stopping the
machinery that prevented the loss Of
kcnts right arm. Since that day Mr.
Kent has spared himself no time or
"fort in his zeal TO throw every pos
Sibie safeguard around the worker in
industry.
Soon after that. partly as a result
or hls campaigning. the department
Of labor and industry was clothed
with authority to make inspection of
all these exposed places of danger
and a little later they were all closed
up throughout the state. He has
taken very active part in all such
Legislation; and with an Industrial
insurance, or workmen's compensa-
ton bill before the committee of
which he is 4 member. he has insist cd
upon provisions that will require the
utmost SAFETY and prevention OF ac-
cldentS in industrial plants He has
argued that prevention of accidents
through adequate safeguards is q
much more important matter than
payment to the workman after he is
manned or to his family after he is
killed
His experience as n machinist has
been useful 10 him many a time when

one day. while touring Monroe
county on an unfrequented road, he
stopped to help a fellow who had
experienced engine trouble in a most
inopportune place and when he was
in desperate haste to get to the next
city on an important business en-
Sagemcnt. Mr.. Kent tinkered with
the engine for about fifteen minutes,
adjusted the carburetor, and soon
had the engine singing prettily.
When the grateful motorist sought
to express his appreciation and ask
ed Kent for his card, he exclaimed.
why, you're not that young lawyer
who is running for Congress are
you?" Right then and there Kent
made a powerful political friend who
helped largely to swing the county
| for him. And that little incident was
repeated more than 4 dozen times
with interesting variations during
his campaign.
There are several big railroad
shops in his district which has had
Republican tendency for the last
decade. Kent went in among the me-
chanics and machinists, speaking
their own language. He showed them
that he knew the conditions under

1t was decided that the contest
would take place in the New York
district on a course to be announced
later.
The steel shaft was recommended
for approval by the implement and
ball committee of the association
after exhaustive tests. In giving it's
opinion, the implement and ball com
mittee stated the steel shaft, as at
present manufactured, does not afford
any playing advantage over the
wooden shaft. 1t was pointed out
that the use of steel for shafts would
tend to conserve the supply OF hick-
Dry now used for wooden shafts. The
executive committee, in approving
the steel shafts, reserved the right to
alter or amend it's ruling in event
any departure is made in the manu-
facture from those submitted for
tests.
Carnelius s. Lee, secretary of the
association, announced that the ball
tests are still being conducted under
the auspices of the implement and
ball committee, a report on the find
ings to be placed before the execu-
the Morris County Golf Club.
Members of the executive committee
are of the opinion that the ball ulti-
mateIy recommended for adoption will
be lighter and larger than that now in
use.
The ball will be more agreeable for
play, according to their expectations, but
will not in any way detract from the
science of the game.
Twelve different sizes and weights of
balls are under test, 1t was announced.
There is no intention that the "fioater'
type of ball will be recommended for
adoption.
The report of the test committee will
come up for final approval in the spring
of 1926. The decision to change the
size and weight of the ball, it was said,
came as the result of requests from
many devotees of the sport the country
over.
Lee said that there would be no
change in the dates of the open cham
pionship, which is scheduled to be held
June and 6 at Oakland Hills. Detroit

Pampas" in the ring. Somehow, this
seemed to have amused F1rpo. II Is a
well known fact that boxers FREE
quently talk to one another while In
the ring. And some of the remarks
they hurl at each other during the
progress of a bout are very often
anything but complimentary.
One day Firpo gave me a Spanish
sentence which, translated into Eng
fish, reads. II am going to send you
to the hospital" For hours Firpo re-
peated this sentence until he thor
ouehly mastered it.
why do you want to learn that
particularly" i asked him. Firpo
smiled, then replied: MANY boxers
talk to me when VIC are In the ring; !
don't know what they are talking
about, of course, but i was thinking
that the next time a boxer talks to
me while we are in the ring, / am
just going to repeat that sentence.
I think that will stop all further con-
versation during the bout.
Firpo lis the only famous boxer who

affairs. He has been criticised time
and again because he didn't take a
manager. Business men of repute
have approached him and offered to
look after his affairs. pointing out to
him the enormous amount OF money
they could earn for him.
TO all these offers Firpo's reply in
vRriably has been no.
Why There are several reasons
First. Firpo has really never placed
his entire confidence in any one. He
remembers the days, not so far on,
when he was no one In particular and
the many times so-called friends have
taken advantage of him. Ftrpo OBJ
tainei his business knowledge tramp
ing throughout South America, when
he sold drugs and boxing gloves,
rushing from one country to another
making living in exchange rates.
His suspicion of managers was deep
rooted long before he came to Amer
lea. besides, he otok particular pride
In his business ability, which was
second only to that OF his great
strength.
Would-be managers became enthu-
siastic when they explained to Firpo
the vast fortunes they had made for

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., April H.
Representatives of students from
twenty southern colleges today urged

ton in unorganized summer base ball
by student players.
The action was taken at the clos
ing session of the annual conference

Students. which has been in session

for three days.
The resolution recommends that
college players be allowed to play
summer unorganized base ball with
out limit as to number of days and
be allowed to receive pay commen-
surate with their services" 1t was
adopted as a result of reports that
the southern intercollegiate confer
ence officials are. contemplating ruI-
ing ineligible players who partici-
pated in any form of summer base
ball.
Prof. w. s. Bernard of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, who adj

while Dean of Students C1oyd of the
North Carolina State College told
them he Endorsed the summer base
ball resolution, and also that he saw
no harm in alumni helping students,
