By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, Jan. 13.-Declaring
they had cracked one of the Ma
tion's largest number pool lottery
rings, reputed to have crossed
$50, 100000 in the past eight
years, State police today held 20
men and three women under
heavy bail. @
Investigators from Attorney Gen.
eral Robert T. Bushnell's ONCE said
Federal authorities were investigat-
ing the possibility that the ring had
defrauded the Government of ST.
SOC, 900 in taxes on income.
The investigators added that they
had evidence, backed with motion
pictures taken by detectives who
shadowed the ring since last June.
These pictures. the Investigators
continued, showed small time
"bookies," as we'll as some "big
shots" blossoming out in new auto
mobiles and new tires.
The automobiles bore basic "A"
gasoline ration stickers, but, the in
vestigators added. one moving pic
ture showed a member of the ring
refilling his cars gasoline tank from
a flve-gallon tin carried in a rear
compartment.
This has led, they said, to an in
vestigation of possible black mar
ket" in gasoline.
State police made the arrests in II
simultaneous raids yesterday.

By the Associated Press

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Jan. ia def
Mite plan designed to relieve the
growing shortage of teachers in
americas grade and secondary
schools was proposed today by two
members of Northwestern Univer-
sitys school of education, Drs. Frank
S. Endicott and F. c. Rosecrance.
Pointing out that the expected
shortage at the start of the 1894
year was estimated at $4,000, Drs,
Enolcott and Rosecrance suggested: /:
State Surveys Urged.
Statewide surveys by State De-
partments of Public Instruction to
reveal the number and types of posi-
tlons likely to be open at the begin
nlng OF the 1884 year.
Registration through local schools
OF all persons not now teaching but
qualified to teach or able to qualify
with three months of full-time
training.
Special summer programs OF all
types of teacher education institu-
tions to meet the needs of persons
requiring "refresher" courses.
Teacher placement services, both
institutional and governmental, to
register and make available to en-
ploying officials on a commits
sion basis the teachers qualified for
employment.
Financial Assistance.
IT necessary provide financial as
sistance to individuals seeking
teacher training to be administered
by some such organization as the
present NYA and to employ similar
procedures Of allocating funds in
order to insure the needed supply
of teachers and the fullest utilization
of training opportunities.
The sponsors of the plan also sug-
gested that, If financial assistance
to local communities was needed to
provide teachers in shortage fields.
Federal grants be made available to
those school districts which are
unable to keep or employ teachers
because OF inadequate resources with
which to pay satisfactory salaries"

The only sports figure who OBJ

about it," reports Walsh. They
took notes on games and came up
with ideas. Cobb, particularly, would
have made a great newsparerman. :"
When press associations started
covering sports more completely I
could see the handwriting on the
