ssBiff'' seemed to have undergone
q change OF mind after talking TO
his wife who was with him. He
changed the subject to his wife q

Mrs. Schaller beamed when the

preached late in the season BY

CHARLIE BAUM
AND TURNER
MATCHED

Jack Turner, the Washington
Barracks middleweight, and Charlie
Baum, OF Baltimore, are to take
up their ring feud again, clashine
in a ten-round bout at Washington
Barracks. February Is, which
means that every ringworn in the
Capital will be battling to set into
the gymnasium to see this min.
Turner and Baum met at Kenil-
worth last summer. It was q
rough contest az Tar AZ it went.
Finally the sheriff had to hop in
and halt proceedings. Each boxer
claimed to have been fouled and
after the mill was halted, they
rot together in corner. Oh,
those boys meant to fight, that's
all.
Early this winter Joe Bashara,
the Norfolk middleweight, climbed
all over Baum at Fort Myer. He
failed to stop him, but he sure
did wallop him. Then Bashara
came back with a shade over
Turner on New Year night in the
same ring.
Now Turner and Baum have been
matched to determine which will
get a second crack at Bashara
The Norfolk battler II nursing a
wounded hand right now, but

SCHOONER GLADSTONE
 SLUlCED OFF BEACH

Sluicing a schooner into the sea was the scene enacted last evening at low tide when, under the super vision of Chief Martin Lanning of the city's utility department, 300 feet of hose was strung out down onto the beach and with about 90 pound pressure, the sand and gravel about the hull of the schooner Glad stone, was swept away in a -short time, enabling the vessel, at high tide, to shake the dust of the beach from her heels.
 The vessel has been undergoing re pairs on the beach for number oi days past The repairs being com pleted, efforts to run the boat off al high tide proved .unavailing under her own power, until the above as sistance was rendered.

CAPTA|NMADE
NO EFFORT TO
SAVE SAILORS
Japanese Crew Sank as
Homeric Stood Near

NEW YORK April 2S.-The captain
of the White Star liner Homeric al
lowed the Japanese sailors belonging
to the crew of the Japanese freighter
Raifuku Maru to drown without MAX
ing a gesture to save them, passengers
on the Homeric charged as the liner
made port here. The liner stood by
while the freighter sank, and Captain
John Roberts gave no orders to lower
lifeboats to go to the struggling sail
ors' aid.
Failure to try to cast OFF the life
RATS attached to the Homeric by
ropes, so that the waves would carry
them to the Japanese sailors strug-
Cling in the mountainous seas, was the
main contention of Captain Roberts
critics.
Amos R. E. Pinchot, brother of Gov
ernor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, was
one of the group of passengers who
said they saw Japanese sailors strug-
Cling in the water after the Raifuku
Maru had disappeared.
"The captains statement" he said,
was extremely inaccurate when he
said there was no life in water
after the freighter capsized.
II personally saw several men be-
ing carried toward the Homeric."
Liston L. Lewis, New York attor-
ney, one of the passengers, said: 81
was not impressed that the Homeric
upheld the traditions of English sail
ors. l saw several men struggling in
the water after the Japanese ship cap
Sized"
