S, Army Has Polo Players for 8 New York, March 14.—8ix play- ers will represent the United States army in the polo series with British lofficers for the international mili- ¥ tary championship at Hurlingham, |\ England, in June. These who will sail the latter part. of this month are Major Louis A. Beard, Major A. H. Wilson, ptain Charles H, Ger- hardt, Captain Peter I. Rodes, First Lieutenant Eugene McGinley and First Lieutenant John A. Smith. These players have geen selected after a sicge of training that started llast summer when the most likely candidates from the military ranks were gathered at Mitchel Field, Long Island, and which ended last week with the winter campaign over the fields of I'lorida. Major Beard, who will act as captalu of the American army four, and Major A, H. Wilson are the only two players remaining from the teamn which captured the title from the British officers in the first series of matches between the military fours of the two nations at Meadow Brook in 1923. The other members of the squad are young- sters who have developed inte inter- national material during the past two years. Major Beard played No. 2 on the army teams of 1922 and 1923 which captured the national junior cham- pionship both seasons, but in the international military matches of two years ago he switched fo the position of back where he undoubt- ‘I‘Lll)' will perform when the Ameri. jean four meets the British officers. Major Wilson, the hero of the last international military meeting, also was @ member of the junior cham- plonship combinations of 1222 and 19 H iM 8 g Ll N last summer after a bri ed an excellent game at forward {during the 1923 campaign. Lieut, Smith also was a member of the squad which assembled on Long Teland last year. Gaptain Rodes sained fame in the middle west last vear when he was a member of the Fort Shéridan team which captured he. midwestern circuit champlon- hip. His game was so strong that e was raised in the handicap list ) five goals, which made him ene f the six highest rated players in 8. army. Lieut. McGinley 3 a strong game for the lighth corps area team during the 94 season and was called to the «quad when it assembled at Miami weach in January. The American team as it will take the fleld against the British will probably aggregate a handicap rat- ing of twenty-one goals, with Wilson at No. 1, McGinley at No. 2, Rodes at No. 3, and Beard at back. Beard is the highest rated member of the |squad, being handicapped at six, |while Wilson and Rodes each carries ’fl\'e goals and McGinley is rated at {three. Gerhardt, who will be used 'as a substitute forward, heing able |to perform at either No. 1 or No. |18 & three-goal player, and Swith. a substitute back, is placed at the same handicap. | Akron Times anrdhl’_ress | Announce Consolidation | Akron, Ohio, March 14-—Akron (Ohle) Times, a democratic daily | and the Akron Press, a Scripps-How ard newspaper, will be consolidated Monday, It was announced today. | M consolidation represents the pur | chase by the Scripps Publishing Co. |- of #uck interests of the Times, which | havé been owned hy W.

The publisher contends that the conditions of the challenge by W. G. Cove, which at the beginning were clear and precise, have heen changed, and in a letter to his chal- lenger he says: “It is new clear to me that you have no intention of standing by the terms of your own challenge. Ever Tlsince I acecptad it, you have been trying to wriggle away from it,”” Aft- er reviewing the dctails of the ne- gotiations he copcludes: “I really cannot allow you to waste any more 2|of my time over thisymatter.” Mr. Cove, who is ill, is expected to reply as soon as he is able. His challenge arose out of criticism by Rothermere’s Daily Mail of the Lon- don secondary schools, of which Mr. Cove, a laborite M. P., is an ardent champion. |Offer sto Pay for Proof Son-in-Law Is Bigamist New York, March 14.--Seeking to refute intimations that Morris Sel- dow or Seldowitz had a wife hefore he married Mary Woodson of Wash- ington, D.

Lonis W. Young acted as| chairman, He said that, inasmuch as I‘he Lincoln school was built in 1852 [ing that he it falled’ to conform to modern standards. Not only was the struct- ure without gymnasium or auditori- um, but thera were other conditions which he felt must be hrought to the attention of the boa “Just a dirty school,” waus the way Dr. Gertrude Kinsella characterized the bullding, but she added that it was kept as clean.aa possible, She sald the fire hazard was greaf, that the bullding was not properly heated | and that some rooms were at times without any heat at all, and the plumbing was crude, the drinking fountains poor, the ventilatfon anti- | aquated, the light inadequute 1 of rhe wrong character, and the play- ground muddy. Dr. M. L. Marsh added that a foul odor pervaded the whole buflding. P. F. King, presi- | dent of the hoard, sald that some of | these condjtion had been remediod. | Richard 1. Priechard reported on | the fire hazard, saying that there were many fire flues and few fire oxtinguishers, the heating system wasn expensive and dangerous, th electric wires were not properly pro- tected, one fire exit was barred, and coal gas fumes were noticeable, Don- ald Bartlett stressed the overcrowd- | fng and pointed to the rapid building operations in the west end, saying that in a year or two that ion | would be as badly off as the north end was a few years ago. Crowding at Junfor High Schools Superintendent of Schools Staniey H. Holmes called attention the | junior high schools. The Elihy Bur- | ritt school, he said, would have 1,400 pupils in the fall, whereas its cap- acity was 1,100, The Central Junior High school would aiso be taxed fo| capacity, while the Senior High school would reach capacity in three or four years. President King said there wus no o for the perma- of portable and | basement rooms as is now practised hy tha local school department, Lut added that this condition could not | be alleviated. until more money was produced. Ernest . Humphrey doubted the ability of the school department to obtain &0 much money from the | board of finance and taxation, had had experience with that body in the past. President King pointed out that a similar pro- gram met with the hoard’s upprov- al a few years ago. A hond issue | would be needed, he stated, but thought this would be possible. I think the city can take care of these needs if it will,” Mr. King ventured. B to nent use sehools say- Liquor Laden Schooner Taken at Atlantic City Atlantie City, N. J.
