RYDER MATCHES
TO Be RENEWED

PHILADELPHIA, June A. ~
PEA President Ed Dudley said to-
day the Ryder Cup golf matches
between the United States and
Britain will be renewed this year
if at all possible despite reports to
the contrary.
However, Dudley explained that
the British Gofers Association ad-
vised it will not be able to send its
Ryder team over before late No
vember, because Of a heavy sched-
ule.
I'VE don't want to call it off it
We car possibly help It," declared
Dudley.
The British PEA accepted an in
vite last December to resume the
cup matches after a 10-year lapse
but there had been talk of passing
up the event due to rising cost Of
living, Britain's economic position.
and expense Of transatlantic travel.
A tentative date for the cup CON-
petition was set for Sept. Is at
Lorraine country club, Dayton. but
this vas ruled out after the British
disclosed their inability 10 make
the date.
THAT presents another prob
lem," Dudley said, "since it is
difficult to get a sponsor for the
matches at that time of the year
Nov.) due to the competition from
football which would draw away
much of the crowd we ordinarily
should draw in September, for
instance"
The PEA president said a late
fall date for the cup competition
would rule out the prospect Of play
in the North.
I'VE hope to hold it either on the
West Coast or down South" he
said.
Dudley explained that regardless
Of the present status Of the
matches, the American Ryder cup
team would be picked at Detroit on
June % by Craig Wood. American
Ryder Cup captain; George Seine
tier, chairman of the tournament
committee, and other members of
the committee. including Dudley.
The United States currently
holds the Ryder Cup, donated by
Samuel Ryder, British sports
man, by virture of its 1887 victory
over the British team at Southport,
England. Competition was sched-
uled for the cup in 1889 at Ponte
Verda, Fla, but play was inter-
rupted by the war.

Americans Outclassing
British Ring Magnets

LONDON, June - Up - There
was speculation in fight circles
today that American boxers have
killed the British goose Tat has
been laying golden eggs in the
ring.
Lloyd Marshall Cleveland de-
livered the coup de grace last
night by making British light
heavyweight champ Freddie Mills
look like a puppet on strings, from
the first 10 seconds, then knock
ing him out in the fifth round.
Mills was the last big drawing
card in British boxing after Joe
Baksi kayoed British heavyweight
champion Bruce Woodcock in
April.
For Promoter Jack Solomons,
Woodcock and Mills had provided
sure gate attractions when match
ed against imported American
talent.
In the past year in which they
met Gus Lesnevich, Joe Baksi, or
each other, the two Britons fought
to sellout gates, with 20 guineas
($84) charged for ringside seats.
The liberal purses for the head
liners kept up a steady parade of
fighters from across the Atlantic.
Lesnevich anne twice, ditto Baksi,
and Ike Williams once - and many
more were willing to try their
hand.
Except for Lesnevich's one lick
ing by Woodcock, the Americans
came, they conquered, they prof
tied, but in so doing they have
removed what the British willing
ly paid to sea Briton with a
chance at a world title.

Use Of Surgery Blasted
In Treating of ArihrifiS

CHICAGO. - Thousands of Amer
ica's arthritis victims are need
lessly undergoing costly, mutilating
surgery in their efforts to overcome
the painful and gripping ~afliction.
This remark was voiced recently
by DR.. E. c. Andrews, of Ottawa,
ILL.,, before the convention of the
American Society for the Study and
Control of Rheumatic Disease, a ma
tional organization of physicians
specializing in diagnosis and treat
ment of arthritis and kindred rheu-
matte conditions.
DR.. Andrews, director of the o.
tawa Arthritis sanatorium and Di-
~agnostic clinic, says that, "the ma
jority of the nations arthritis vic
Tins are unnecessarily having gall
bladders, tonsils and teeth removed
in a vain attempt to halt the de-
structive processes of the condi-
ton.
"Arthritis still is being treated as
a disease in ITSELF" DR.. Andrews
stressed. "Arthritis is not a dis
ease. 1t is the result of glandular
and dietary deficiencies and imbal-
ances in the functional systems of
the body"

Auxiliary workers perform a wide
variety of services which add to the
comfort, improve the mental attitude
and speed the recovery of the war
disabled. They assist the nursing
staff in the hospitals. Many are
assigned to the occupational therapy
departments or instruct in the ed
ucational retraining program. Others
act as escorts for the blind and
for wheel chair patients. Shopping
service, chaplaincy service, recrea-
ton activities, transportation of pa
tients and library assistance are
among the other types of service
carried out by Auxiliary volunteers.
To qualify for any type of hos
pital work, an Auxiliary member
must be a graduate of a training
and indoctrination course within the
hospital in which she serves. Train
ing schools have been conducted this
year in every part of the country
to provide additional workers to meet
the greatly increased number of dis
abled veterans needing the services
of volunteer hospital workers.

Food ~Supplants
Weapons on Ships
Holds Of Cargo Vessels Now
Packed With Products =
To Aid Germany.

BREMEN To help keep post
war Germany from starvation, ar
ancient ship has emerged from the
graveyard for ships. She is the SIS
Parkersburg Victory. She looks just
like another freighter. And she is.
She once carried cargoes of de-
s~truction against Germany. But she
has been called out of postwar re-
tirement to join a fleet of more than
100 ships now bringing food and
other products to help Germany
live.
Holds formerly loaded with tanks
or guns now are filled with food,
fertilizer or cotton under the Brit
ish-American aid program.
Docks Suffered Much.
How these cargoes arrive and are
distributed was described by James
L. Wayland, chief of the military
government eXport-import section.
Amid incredible bomb wreckage
to the rectangular-shaped harbor
the quays are lined surprisingly
with 81 shoreside cranes. Some sur
vived the war undamaged; others
have been repaired.
Tied alongside the quays are
eight American ships, facing to-
ward the harbor mouth so they IA
make a run for safety in case of
fire.
They are mostly Victory and Lib
erty ships which transported the AL
lies to triumph.
Their wartime gray coats have
yielded to new paint jobs-black
hulls, white superstructure and col
orful smokestacks.
Not Worried.
Typical among them is the Par
kersburg Victory, out of Baltimore.
Her cargo is 5000 tons of fertilizer
ammonium nitrate, the same type
of cargo that exploded in the Texas
City disaster.
The chief mate appeared unwor-
ried. But a navy fireboat, gray with
red trim, stood alongside, just in
case.
Nearby was the John Clark, I'M
loading $500 tons of flour, and the
Stella Lykes, discharging 10000
bales of cotton from New Orleans.
The food and fertilizer pass into
German control the moment the
crane deposits it from the ship. The
cargoes are forwarded to their des-
tinations by barge over the vast
canal system or by train.
Both American and German au-
thorities said there was Every little
looting'' of the food while it was en-
route. Because it travelled in bulk,
it did not lend itself to pilfering,
they said, and was without guards
except for German railway police.
