Is Surprise Entry
By ALAN J. GOULD

Foughkeepsie. N. Y, June 25.-LF-
Columbia is the gem of the intercol-
legiatc ocean after the toughest and
most disastrous naval battle in the
history of the Poughkeepsie regatta.
Down through four turbulent miles
last evening the sons of little old New
York rowcd to magnificent triumph
for the second time III three years,
capturing the varsity championship
of America. In their dazzling wake
we're strewn the shattered hopes Of
four OF Columbia's eight rivals. chief
among them the Golden Bears OF
California. champions OF the world

Above all the turmoil Columbia

ahead of another surprise boat, Penn

the choppy seas to beat Navy as other
craft sank.
The Middics saved fOurt., place.
Wisconsin was fifth and last.
Three Of the four crews that were
swamped met their downfall in the
last mile, as Syracuse, then Califor-
: mia, and finally Cornell yielded the
struggle and escaped from shells that
sank below the waves. Cornell did not
quit until its slim, fragile craft had
broken in two. The fourth victim was

periority Settled as Light
Nears Knockout Stage

st. Paul, June 25.-(F1-The much
mooted question of the last few weeks
as to whether Billy Light or My Sui
Ivan was the better man had been
settled today.
Sullivan was acclaimed the better
man after his sound trouncing last
night of his former stable mate over
the 10-round route.
Light teetered on the verge OF a
Knockout four times during the al
fray and only his wonderful condition
and stamina kept him on his feet
when it seemed he must 60 down.
Light took what probably was the
Stiffest lacing of his career.
Sullivan, boxing cleverly and fight
ing ccolly, jabbed Light dizzy in the
second round and hooked powerful
rights and lefts to the face and body.
In this round Sullivan raised bumps
on Billy's left check and thereafter
his thudding glove added to the i'm
jury until at the end the face OF
Light was sadly misShapen.
Light came nearest to a K. o. when
he took a count OF six in the seventh,
from q OdIIdEC OA Ielt uIIu lASAIt

perately to avoid a knockout.
Permission TO fight to . decision

mission in order to settle the local
question of supremacy In the welter-

CONFERENCE BACKS
RETIREMENT PLAN
Civil Service Employees Want
Fixed Age Limit of SO
or Ia Years.

The Joint Conference on Retirement
of Civil Service Employees will stand by
the provision in the retirement law to
the effect that after August, 1880, no
employe shall be granted more than
two 2-year extensions of service beyond
the retirement age. The executive COM
mittee of the conference decided yes
terday afternoon to oppose any move
ment to allow unlimited time extern
SionS.
According to Thomas F. Flaherty,
secretary-treasurer of the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks and
secretary of the joint conference on
retirement, the purpose and intent OF
retirement legislation is defeated unless
there is fixed age limit.
The retirement law will be in operation
10 years next August and We believe the
time will then be opportune to estab-
fish a definite age limitation" said Mr..
Flaherty. This is conditioned upon Con-
gress increasing the annuity to maxi
mum of $1,000 The majority of Civil
Service employees covered by the act
are retired at 65 years. with the privi-
lege of two extensions OF two years
each. This fixes a limitation of SO
years for those who are able to render
emclenC service. IN Cne case Vi Ile ~
year group such as department en-
ployes lin Washington, the extension
period will mean 74-vear deadline.
There has been disinclination on
the part of many aged employees to re-
tire because of the meagerness Of the
annuity. We believe the Seventy-first
Congress will correct this and conse-
quently it is logical that an age limit
be placed on service. This will work to
the benefit of the substitutes awaiting
appointment and the younger employees
who are in line for promotion. Fur
thermore, it will make for more eff
Gent public service. For these reasons
we are not in sympathy with the agita-
ton to disregard the retirement prin-
ciple to suit few individual cases OF
veteran employees who may still be eff
cient at an advanced age. Compulsory
retirement at SO or "a years. dependent
upon the group in which the employe
is working. is not a hardship for the
ma iority of employees, providing the an
nuity is increased as provided for in
the pending Dale-Lehlbach bill"
