zone of the really great needs in
Maine is the establishment of a first
class trade school," declared Secre-
tary CRUDE 3. Cornish of the State
Board of Charities and Corrections,
on Saturday.
Il hope that the time will soon
come when the business interests,
service clubs, women's organizations
and societies will give some attention
to the boy and girl when each must
necessarily leave the school room
and plan for life work. continued
Mr.. Cornish. Not every boy who
must earn his living is adapted to
farm work, yet that seems to be
about the only solution available at
the present time. Not every girl
who desires to earn her own living
is adapted to housework, yet that is
about the only avenue that is open
to her.
1.-The lack Of a trade school in
Maine is forcing many boys and girls
to drift along in such an unsatisfac-
tory manner that the future holds
very little promise of success for
them" he said. Mr.. Cornish pointed
out that there are many boys and
girls who are not interested in high
school studies, but are gifted along
certain lines, instruction in which is
given at trade schools. The trade
school in Maine would be a private
school for boys and girls of high
school age, but there would be OPP
portunities for poor students to pay
a large proportion of their expenses
through their work in the school.
Mr.. Cornish stated that the nearest
trade school is Wentworth Institute
in Boston, but that is a considerable
distance away for Maine boys or
girls without resources.
Establishment of such a school in
Maine would be the solution of many
of our problems" he declared, stat

u. S. WALKER CUP
TEAM IN LONDON
6By Dispatch A. 2. wire) }

LONDON, May 1.-THE American
Walker cup golf team, headed by Bob
Gardner Of Chicago disembarked from
the Aquitania this afternoon to find
England deeply concerned over the
general Industrial dispute which may
interfere with their international
match against Great Britain. No de-
cision has been made to call off the
contest, but the atmosphere of uncer-
tainty indicates that British officials
have sidetracked golf problems for the
greater task Of overcoming the obsta>
cles of the strike.
Giving up hope of reaching London
by train, the Americans boarded auto
mobiles pushing over roads which re-
called war time conditions in the trafN
fic of food trucks, lorries loaded with
minated soldiers and motorcycle dis
patch riders.
The members of the team said they
had experienced an enjoyable voyage
and were confident of retaining the
cup. They Immediately expressed THEN
Willingness to cooperate with British
golf officials in any changes which
might be necessary in the golf pro-
gram on account of the strike.

WOMEN'S DIVISION a. A. A.

NEW YORK, May 11.-A virtual end
ing of athletic competition for young
women was urged today at tho second
days session of the convention on
the Women's division of the Amateur
Athletic association. Elimination of
rules, written for men for various
sports, and the removal of the cham
pionship idea from womens colleges,
were advocated.
The speakers agreed that more at
tention should be paid to the kind of
athletic and physical training suited
to the individual than to the ruth
less physical destruction'' which was
attributed to the work OF women's
football and basketball teams.

one who was unfortunate. All of
these men were high-class sprinters.

STRIBLENC AND
BERLENBACH TO
MEET JUNE 10
(By pispatel. a. P. WIrel


NEW YORK. May 11.-Approval of
the worlds light heavyweight cham
pionship match between Paul Berlen-
bach, title holder, and Young Stribling
at the Yankee stadium June 10, was
given today by the state athletic COM
mission, despite objections by Humbert
T. Fugazy, Ebbets field promoter. For-
nal contracts for the match were
signed just a few hours before appIi-
cation for sanction was filed by Tex
Rickard.
Fugazy, who has Berienbach and
Jack clancy signed for a title match
al Ebbets field June %, protested on
the ground that the commission had
previously ruled that Delaney was the
outstanding challenger. The board,
however, ruled that Delaney forfeited
his rights as the leading challenger
by refusing to sign with Rickard after
the champion had signed q contract.
Billy Gibson, manager of Gene Tun-
ney, attempted to file a challenge in
behalf of Tunney for match with
any heavyweight in the world, Demp-
sey preferred.
Neither the challenge nor its ac-
companying check for $4,000 were ac-
cepted because Tunney is not licensed
in this state.

realize that they have dropped far

to pull themselves up the ladder at
the Douglasites' expense.
