VOCATIONAL NEEDS
DRAW CRITICISM
Federal Board Told District
Lacks Adequate Facilities
for Rehabilitation Work.

The Federal Government came in for
criticism last night for its hardness in
enacting beneficial legislation for the
District of Columbia and for the in
adequateness of vocational education
facilities provided here, at. a meeting
called by the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education, for the purpose of ac-
uuainting the citizens here with its
rehabilitation work and getting their
cooperation in the furtherance of it.
The gathering was held in the Y. w.
c. A Building, Seventeenth and K
streets, and was attended by many rep
resentative citizens of the District.
While expressing pleasure over steps
taken toward vocational rehabilitation,
speakers criticized the Federal Govern
ment for hardness in providing such a
program,
Says d. c. Has Jagged.
"I fear we must wait until Congress
can be convinced before washington
becomes a model in social welfare" de-
clared Walter s. Ufford, executive Sec
rotary of the Associated Charities Of
Washington. He told how Washington
has Jagged behind the States in obtain
ing workmen's compensation and other
beneficial laws.
John B. Colpoys, editor of the Trade
Unionist, who followed Mr.. Ufford on
the speakers stand declared:
1--WE have been served with lot Of
bunk by legislators coming from all
over the country telling us they are go
ing to make Washington a model city"
While praising the work of rehabili-
tation of the disabled here, Mr.. Col
poys asserted: I'VE are still left out in
en-
ton is concerned" He developed the
thought that rehabilitation would not
be necessary so often here II the proper
facilities for vocational education were
provided In the schools
Mr.. Colpoys urged q hve-day work

employment situation.
279,0OO Disabled Yearly.
Senator James j. Davis of Pennsy1-
vania, the first speaker, praised the
work of rehabilitation which he said
sis turning broken lives into useful oc-
cupation." He quoted figures showing
that 279,000 persons are disabled in
this country yearly through accidents
One out of every five so injured, he said,
needs vocational rehabilitation. FigIr-
ing that it cost on the average of $3.50
for each person rehabilitated, Senator
Davis pointed out that those rehabi1-
itated become an asset while the yearly
liability of those not rehabilitated is far
more than the actual cost of rehabfl-
itating them would be, due to the cost
to charity for their upkeep.
Repres ntative John w. Summers Of
Washington. author of the District of
Columbia rehabilitation bill, praised the
work of rehabilitation and said that the
first Is persons rehabilitated in the
District had cost on an average of only
$3.50 per person.

LOSER FAVORED AS
 HARVEY-DUNDEE MEET AGAIN T0NITE
Knockout Would Assure BritOn of Title Bout With Walker for Middleweight Crown
BY DIXON STEWART

United Press StaR Corrcspondcnt)
 New York. Feb 13.-(UP)-Len Harvey, a long, lean Briton who looks and acts (except in the ring) like anything but a fighter, will re- new his bid tonight for recognition as leading contender for Mickey Walkers 160-pound world cham pionship.
 The pale, anemlc looking English man, veteran of $50 ring bouts, is billed for F rounds with Vince Dun- dee of Baltimore.
 With Mickey Walker, reigning middleweight, in the bad graces of both the New York athletic commits sion and the National Boxing associ- ation, the cards are stacked for to- nights winner to receive recognition as world champion.
 Knockout Needed.
 It is certain that a sensational triumph for the Briton would pave the way for an international cham pionship bout with Walker. The champion and his crafty manager, Jack Kearns, realize that Walker Harvey bout would be boxing ma turap.
 However. Harvey let previous golden opportunity slip through his fingers when he lost to Dundee last month after flooring the Baltimore boy for counts of nine in the first round, and it is doubtful if he can reverse the decision tonight.
 Betting men attach considerable significance to Harvey's claim that he failed to become properly accli- $Al fpN 11{e e1y . States prior to the previous bout Briton a 6 to favorite, with a pro- bability the contenders will enter the ring at even money.
 Lost His Chance. Harvey, probably the most bally- hooed English fighter to invade America, had Q championship match in his grasp when he floored Dun- dee in the first round of their previ- ous bout. A one-round victory would have made him an overnight sen- sation and assured bout with Walker, but the Briton allowed Dun. dee to pull through the round and make a great uphill battle to take the 12-round decision. Although Harvey was the one who insisted on the 12 round route, it was Dundee who profited by the marathon distance.
 Harvey, whose unorthodox train- ing methods call for cigarettes, ale and Welsh rarebits, is the heavier puncher and boasts an excellent left hook. His defense Is weak and he has displayed little liking for body punching. Dundee is more rugged and expects to win through his body attack.
 Harvey's best chance of victory is an early knockout.

FIVE LOCAL BOYS
 ! IN GOLDEN GLOVE ' BOXING TOURNEY
Eddie Lords Franco-Amer- ican Stable Seek Simon Pure Honors in New Haven Tonight

New Haven, Feb. 13.-Eddie Dolan. Waterbury's clever little southpaw lightweight, will head the Brass City delegation of amateurs who will compete tonight in the golden glove boxing tournament which is to be staged under the auspices of the Arena A. c. In all, Eddie Lord will chaperone five simon pure punchers into the Arena will all go back to the city of brass with golden gloves to show for their prowess inside the ropes.
 In addition to Dolan, Joe Rocco. 135 pounds; Stanley Rudy, 147 pounds: Joe Lombardi, 116 pounds, and Arthur Hilton. 126 pounds, will compete under the Lord banner. Hf1ton's presence in the tourney will give the affair its second state cham pion for the little Brass City phan- tom captured the state amateur ban tamweight championship in the last tournament at the Arena.
 Since winning his title, Hilton has outgrown the bantamweight division and now he has his guns trained on the state featherweight crown. In addition to Hilton, Emery Scarra of Mount Carmel. amateur heavyweight champion of the state, is also enter ed.
 Dolan, chunky little lightweight who carts around as wicked a left hand punch as has ever been dis played in amateur rings of the state. will be starting a quest for new hon. ors In to-night's jousting. He was the sensation of the last state cham pionship tournament and many feel he would have captured the light weight title instead of Ernie Sims had he not been forced to go through two more bouts than the fighter who eventually won the title. As 1t was, he put up a terrific bat tie with Sims for the crown.
 With Sims out of competition, Dolan figures he has a clear road to the championship this year and in that opinion he has the unqualified backing of Eddie Lord, who is con- siderable of a lightweight on his own hook.

ENGLISH GOLF VETS MUST PROVE RIGHT

United Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 London, Feb 13-(UP)-Unknow youngsters may usurp veterans places on Great Britain's Ryder cup team if it will improve England's chances of success in the matches at Columbus. O., according to Fred J. c. Pigaon, manager of the 1891 British Ryder cup team.
 In an exclusive interview with the United Press, Pignon declared that England would extend itself to the limit and if humanly possible, win in the matches this summer. Must Prove Place.
 Britain must have the best team available" said Pignon. Tt may be composed of well-known players. or youngsters. Probably such players Abe Mitchell, and George Duncan will be named on the British side, but not unless they prove to be better match players during series of test matches.
 Captain Charles Whitcombe will play if physically able. He can be relied upon with the greatest con- fidence to come through under pres sure. No matter how many matches he might lost during test competi- ton, he w:ll tee off in singles and foursome match at Scioto."
 Pignon recently was elected man. fleet streets pest known figures aud has been writing about golf for 26 years. Although he never has crossed the Atlantic, Pignon knows practically. every golfer of note in the United States.
 Of Walter Hagen, he says: "HageH can lose and smile. He is one of the best losers we have ever sepn in Great Britain. To us he repre- sents a real sportsman, a master player-bdt always a real fellow you must admire and like"
 Commenting on the new bal, Pignon remarked: Tt will affect home players to a marked degree"
 Most British players have learn- ed to sweep the ball away" Pignon believes that American players have developed their own style and have found that graceful, perfectly timed and coordinated swing will bring the best results when playing with either woods or irons.
 "Old timers like Harry Vardon, James Braid, J. H. Taylor and Ted Ray probably will take a new lease on life by using the United States ball.
 All Have A Chance.
 Pignon said that ability to play the new ball will be taken into con- sideration before the final British team is named.
 ''The Professional Golfers asso- citation has named "A players as pos sible team members and asked them to hold themselves in readiness. This list can be enlarged. Any player not named wno thinks he merits consd- eration need only apply and he will be given a trial.
 ''The test competition will divulge the latest 1881 form of each player. While we do not expect our best international known players to be beaten, they may be-"

 Willie, the humming bird of the composing room, opposed Joe w.. the former star bowler of the L. r. Independents.
 Slim Slough filled up on chow mein and got too lazy to pile up his regular 1O5 average.
 The Butcher boys acted as anchor men on opposing teams. with Lester of the Beacon Falls Bucket Brigade and veterans of the alleys drown. ing the pins for the Pressmen and Hobie lending assistance to the weary Compos.
 Bruce proved that he could hold his own by knocking down the pins in similar fashion to the way he can pi type forms.
