HOLDS NAVY FACES
PERSONNEL CUTS
Admiral Shoemaker Reports
$50 Basis Hard to Main
! tain With Present Funds.

Inadequate funds continue to make
st more and more difficult to main
tain the personnel on a 5-5-3 efficiency
basis, according to the annual report
Of Rear Admiral W. r. Shoemaker,
chief of the Bureau of Navigation OF
the Navy Department. The uurca~,
9le says, is greatly concerned with the
future size of this appropriation in
relation to providing for new con-
struction and he expresses the hope
that with the completion of the new
nirplane carriers and the moderniza-
ton of the old battleships that at
least 5000 additional men will be pro-
yided for.
The function of maintaining the
personnel on the 5-5-3 basis is difficult
enough to perform in it's procure
ment, training and distribution phases
for any given number of men, but
when complicated with the inadequacy
of funds for pay, it results in a diff
cult situation.
In the operation Of the fleet, Ad-
miral Shoemaker says, efforts have
been made to consider the recreation
and liberty Of the men, to get away
from the drab routine. 1t is trying
to maintain a healthy schedule of
cruising" that the vessels viii not just
go from home port to target grounds
and back again.
Lack of funds during the year made
# necessary to reduce the enlisted
personnel by suspending first enlist
fnents. he says, and calls attention to
an existing shortage of slightly more
than 1000 petty officers.
The need of providing storage space
for the thousands of log books from
ships of the Navy is pointed to in
the report, and while the admiral says
that those not frequently consulted
may be provided for in the proposed
Archives Building. nevertheless
storage place for several hundred of
these books regularly consulted should
be provided in the Navy Building.

Bath Fans Expect
Great Things of
FavOrite at Maine

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Bath, April 1.-George Cahilf, Jr.,
former Morse high track captain,
and now Junior at the University
of Maine is expected to make a great
bid for track honors at the inter-
collegiates this Spring. The Bath
boy did not meet with any too much
success his first two years at Orono,
but according to all the latest re-
ports the present year is going to
be a big one for him.
His first Bid for prominence came
at the opening and dedication of the
new gymnasium at Orono, when he
broke the 44o yard record for the
college in the fast time Of so 2-5
seconds. Though the gigantic gym
nasium has nearly a perfect track
and the same time was made by AL
Ian Helffrich the day before, still the
Bath flyer is expected to clip off
precious fifths of seconds from even
that time and it would not be sur
prising to see him go under the so
mark at the Maine Intercollegiate
While at Morse Cahill covered the
distance in 81 2-5 but that was his
best effort. He is returning to the
University earlier than the other
students to get little work done
which is necessary to put him back
on the eligible list as he lacks a
point or so.

RICHARD PLANS
SERIES BIG BOUTS
IN n. Y. AND JERSEY

New York, April 1.-(AP)-Tex
Richard drew back the curtain from a
good share Of his prospective 1926
heavyweight drama today. In series
Of important announcements he dis
closed an elaborate program bearing
all the earrarks of starriI., heavy
weight championship tilt between
Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney on
August IL or September 3.
The promoter revealed that he had
closed negotiations for a 1926 lease
on the Yankee Stadium, which he
plans to open with a return light
heavyweight title match between Paul
Berlenbach and Jack Delaney on or
about June 10. simultaneously, he
said he also would operate his Jersey
City arena, Boyles' Thirty Acres, be-
ginning about May IS.
Both big arenas, Richard said, would
be ready for at least lone big shot"
While he refused to say so fatty. he
| launched into a discussion of dates
and possibilities which left his hearers
convinced that he figures on staging
Dempseys return to the ring with
Tunney as his opponent. Tunney al
ready is under contract to Richard for
this season and it is understood the
promoter has an agreement with
Dempsey which will materialize into
formal contract after August 9. when
| the champions contract with his erst-
while manager, Jack Kearns. expires.
Richard pointed out that with
Boyle's Thirty Acres at his disposal
he will be able to shift a Tunney-
] Dempsey match TO Jersey if present
7 objections to it here by the New York
state athletic commission are not re-
moved.
These objections hinge around the
commissions insistence that Harry
Wills, negro challenger, be given first
call on title match. They may be
| removed, however. it was indicated to-
Cay, by the commission deciding that
wills already has violated the rules
by entering into his agreement with
Dempsey and Floyd FitZsimmons,
Michigan City, Ind, promoter, at a
time when Dempsey was on this
states ineligible list. When II placed
it's ban on the champion the commits
sion issued a strict injunction against
dealings with him by promoters or
managers holding licenses in this
state.
Wills, however, in Richards opinion
is not yet out of the heavyweight pic
ture altogether, although the negroes
chances of meeting Dempsey have di-
unfinished. If Dempsey match is
found impossible otherwise, Richard
indicated he would be willing to stage
an elimination test between Wills and
Tunney, the winner to face the cham
pion.

Salmon Fishing
Means Little to
Bangor Fishermen

Bangor, Me-, April 1.-(AP)-The
salmon season in the Penobscot
opens today but 1t doesn't mean
much to anxious fishermen. There
Is hardly enough open water in the
Bangor pool to allow a catch and the
river is SO choked with ice that 1t is
doubtful if many fish have come up
fer. the sea.
The Penobscot, one Of the last re-
MT lining Ravens Of the salmon. once
,teemed with it. Back in the carry
part OF the nineteenth century, an
New England rivers were filled with
it but, gradually, the increasing pol
luton of the waters as commerce
advanced and left only Maine
streams. Finally the Kennebec. An
droscoggin, st. Croix and the Penoo-
scot were the principal places OF re-
fuge Of the fish returning a7uually
to their spawning beds.
Now the Penobscot and st. Croix
e;one remain, and, of the two, the
former is known internationally for
the size Of it's fish. The first fish OF
the season usually commands So
pound, and is much sought. AS the
catch improves. the price drops off
until the June flood runs when quo
tations frequently range as low as IS
cents.
