CAMBRIDGE CHOSEN
 TO BEAT OXFORD

London, April 3-(UP)-- Cam bridge was firm favorite today to score its thirteenth victory over OK ford in their annual crew race or the Thames river tomorrow. The betting was 3-l on Cambridge. Il was 6-1 a fortnight ago.
 Except for light padding exer- cises the two crews will rest until the race, scheduled to start at 11:45 a. m. (6:45 a. m. EST). The unusually early start, due to the necessity of catching the Ebb tide, is expected to make the crowd lin- ing the banks along the 4 1-2 mile course one of the smallest in many years.
 Cambridge has won 46 races in the series, and Oxford 40, with one dead heat in 1877.

AGED AMNESIA

Edward Trenholm Believed

CHARLESTON, Oct G.-On
confidential but reliable author
itv. The News and Courier said
definitely today that Edward
Trenholm. scventy-year-old victim
of amnesia, who received nation
wide attention in the press six
weeks ago, is the son Of Mrs. Ed
ward Trenholm, ninety-nine-year-
old resident of % Savage street
Charleston'S oldest citizen.
The belief that Trenholm, who
was found wandering through the
streets of New York in mid-Au-
gust, was a son of Mrs. Trenholm,
was revealed on Mrs. Trcnholm's
birthday anniversary September 3,
Information obtained in a pri-
vate investigation for The News
and Courier, the source of which
it is not at liberty to reveal, is
that Trenholm was born in Hen
Jacksonville, n. c., August IL,
1866, son of Edward Trenholm
and Mrs. Jane WatieS Trenholm,
both of South Carolina.
Trenholm married Elizabeth
Rhett Of Charleston, in December,
1899. He was quoted as saying
that he had not been in commune
cation with his mother for many
years, and did not know her pres
ent address. Mrs. Trenholm is
hopelessly bedridden here, and
does not know of her sons con-
dition.
Trenholm for several years
was a resident of Jacksonville. So
far as was learned, he had not
been back to Charleston for many
years, though his family has been
well known here for generations,
both on his fathers and his moth
er's side. He had been working as
a bookkeeper in New York.

He was adament, refusing her
