 During the past year the number of truancy cases, increased to 28. Tn addition, in 27 cases, parents called on the probation officer for help because, they claimed, they could not make theYr children obey"
 "The total number of visits made by the probation officer was 1882, including 35l prior to hearings. Call at the office, exclusive of those made by probationers, numbered $i,b28."
 Many of these problems were settled by Q talk with the probation officer or 0 reference to Q social agency. The fact that so many people come in to talk things over indicates 0 confidence in the juv- chile court.

 The statement of William M. Harris of the Lincoln Honuso Is as follows:
 "As I have frequently said we Would teel Rrehtiy nuepteu Jo this organization if we received nothing more than the consulta- ton which pr. Leonard gives our workers in connection with their cases. Over 0 period of time this service not only gives our work CTS Q better understanding of their families but enables them to approach these problems from a point of view Of 0 psychiatric so- cial worker.
 It seems to me that this society ia doing c splendid piece of work through It's common objective which Is to give clinic service, field psychiatfy and psychological treatment to children Up to is years of age. Through this service Lincoln House as well as many other organizations of tho city are benefited. It Is my opinion that this work is deserving of the sup- port of a contributing public"

 My dear Mir. Mayor:--
 ]. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your telegram of January 18th concerning WPA appropriations. am definitely in favor of on ap- propriation adequate to meet the maximum number of WPA em- ployes contemplated by the Pres- ident In fixing his budget require- ments. am also convinced that there arc thousands of so-called administrators of WPA who are drawing salaries far in excess of what relief jobs should pay and that very great many of them ought to be off the rolls so that tho money could 90 to those poor distressed people who are out of work and who need employment. I believe that political consider ations have moved the appoint- ment of Q very great many, and that there are unemployables on the rolls who ought not to be there. All of these factors are recognized and well known. but the extent Is not realized; hence an investigation Is called for, and at Its conclusion, we will know exactly how much of an appro- priation should Do required. Meanwhile l am in favor of doing anything and everything neees- safy to meet the maximum needs pending the outcome of my sug- gested investigation.

With Blakeney collecting 5000,

$40; Perce Wolfe took fourth money

been there ever since.
Indeed, but for less than a small

most Of his eating and sleeping at
College Park ever since he saw the
light of day more than 40 years ago.
His long record as a two-sports coach

Tough Middle in Wild

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Seasoned campatgners, the sea-
soning in this instance q direct re-
suit Of being well peppered by many
lads In their division, will occupy
the feature role tonight at Turner's
Arena as Jimmy Jones, Baltimore
middleweight, feuds with Tony
Cisco, a hairy Norristown, Pa,
specimen, In what looms as the
most attractive of three eight
FOUNDERS.
Cisco, who at some stage of his
career must have covered himself
with glue and rolled on a barber
shop floor, has little regard for fls-
tic etiquette His punches land
from the ankles up, and since Jones
also knows how to handle himself
In a brawl the engagement should
be interesting.
Jones, who shortened 1t from
Nedomatsky, is best remembered
here for registering a refreshing
knockout over George Abrams, who
hadn't experienced that novelty be-
fore, while Cisco, who altered it
from Ciaccio, dropped disputed de-
cisions to Abrams and Steve
Mamakos.
A scrap with Mamakos is the OBJ
jective Of the beetle -browed Jones,
who hardly relished the severe shell
lacking dealt his brother, Ivan Nedo-
matsky, by Steve here last summer.
Jimmy wants revenge and, of course,
any coin he can obtain through full
fillment Of that synthetic grudge
motive.
Cisco has been winning regularly
since coming under the manage
ment Of the popular Chris Dundee,
losing only two bouts in nine starts.
He fires leather steadily and is
crowd pleaser. Promoter Joe Turner
hopes Tony has crowd to please.

Dube of Boston and Buddy Thomas,
local middleweight, will face Vince

Bio y. C.. Budn1inton Surprise

For the second successive year
New Yorkers dominated the District
open badminton tournament which
ended at Kensington yesterday, but
Baltimore produced two representa-
tives it can be proud of and the
local association can take a bow
for playing host to another banner
event.
Most Of yesterdays thrills were
provided by Gilmore Abbott Behr
and Frank Roberts Of Baltimore.
Mrs. Behr, fresh from a semi-final
conquest Of Wanda Bergman, fourth
misunderstanding player, proved
her victory Of Saturday night wasn't
a fluke by following with q 11-8,
Ill, 12-9 triumph over Helen
Gibson, New Yorker, ranked nth,
for the womens title.
Mrs. Behr, Maryland State cham
pion, is certain to see her own
national ranking of No. 8 advanced
as result.
Roberts, playing with Bill Pinker-
ton Of Toronto, had the satisfaction
of beating the national champion,
Walt Kramer, in doubles. The
Maryland mems champion, Roberts
collaborated to whip Kramer and
Joel Baker of Washington, Ills.
15-6, 15-9.
AS expected, Kramer trounced
Ken Quigley Of Cleveland for the
mems singles title, 15-9, 15-7, and
the women's doubles champions
Mrs. Bergman and Miss Gibson

the Terrapin atmosphere at the age
of 4, when his folks moved to Col
lege Park. He attended the State
agricultural college, then known as
M. A. c., from the fall of 1908 to
the spring of 1914 and during that
period won the unbelievable number
of 16 letters. AS he had entered the
preparatory and subfreshman class,
he was eligible for six years of COM
petition.
Even If he hadn't produced some
corking teams as a coach and even
had he not started Hack Wilson on
the road to the batting champion
ship of the National League, he still
would deserve a place in Maryland S
hall Of fame by virtue OF his own
athletic abilities for Shipley was all
State quarterback in 1912. all-State
fullback in 1918 and only recently
was chosen as Maryland's all-time
third baseman. They must have
considered Ship" a pretty good
leader, too, even in his younger days,
for he was captain of three teams
football, basket ball and baseball
during the 1912 school year.
Shipley's time away from Mary
land was nine-year period after
1914. He started his coaching
career at Perkiomen School in
Pennsylvania, but went to Marshall
College in 1916. He entered the
service during the war and upon
receiving his discharge served as
coach at the University Of Delaware
from 1919 until 1923.
Ever baseball enthusiast, Ship
managed the Martinsburg team of
the Blue Ridge League in 1923,
leading it to a pennant. 1t was
there he converted Hack Wilson
from catcher into the hard-hit-
ting outfielder he became with the
Chicago Cubs.
Team of 1881 His Best.
He also won the Southern Con-
ference championship in 1886, the
Terps beating Duke in the decisive
game.
Currently enjoying as successful
a court season as any coach in
the District, Shipley has maintained
winning average of better than
IS per cent. His best-known team
was, of course, the one of 1881
which won the Southern Confer
ence championship when the con-
ference consisted of % colleges. His
most famous product also played on
that team, Bozey Berger winning
all-American selection as a guard
in 1881 and 1882.
He is q strong advocate of the
zone defense, which, he says, Is ex-
pedient for either a fast or slow
team. In all probability he has per-
fected it to as high a degree of ef-
fectiveness as any coach who uses it.
