In a conference, described as one of perfect accord, the trustees yesterday advanced a long series of arguments why the rule, slashing the salaries from $10,000, plus maintenance, to $8000 should not be made applicable to present incumbents. Thomas J. Kennedy, international secretary treasurer of the United Mine Workers, and a member of the Hazleton board, and S.

Wilson Lark, of the Shamokin Hospital, were the spokesmen. The executive board will not consider the request until its regular meeting, late in octooer.

Hazleton Hospital, it is said, will increase the salary of its surgeon if the order is set aside.

Since June 1 the surgeons at Shamokin and Coaldals have not been paid, the State Department of Welfare refusing to approve requisitions submitted by the trustees for the tmnnn From January 1, when the reduction became effective, to June 1, the former salary was paid by the. boards from State funds in deflancrof the executive board's order.

HUSKY WILIMISPORT SQUAD ul 4, 3 411 lr Pi Or 5ll1r fir MmmU Pi 8 6 mm These husky gnd warriors of Williamsport High are learning new tricks this week from Coach Sol Wolf, who is pointing them for their game at Island Park with the William Penn High School team of this city. Sol is in the foreground giving them a talk before a workout. He has plenty of material and is developing a fast eleven to win laurels for the upstate high school. William Pen nboys are working hard, too, and Saturday's battle promises to be a GOLF WINNER It Mv'MJiJ IMIIIIMIMIIM HOWARD W. (SKIP) PERRY, a former city champion of several times, yesterday won the Colonial Country Club golf championship, by defeating A.

T. Attlck, 3 and 2. This title was the first won by Perry in the last ten years after setting a rapid pace in the city championship events by taking several titles in a row. Perry's putting at the right moment gave him the Colonial title yesterday after it seemed that the gallant playing of Attick was good enough to take the match to the extra holes. Perry was three up at the end of the first round.

He lost on the back nine and finally broke through his losing streak to capture the thirteenth, and to tie the last two holes of the match. Perry has been the most consistently good player at the Colonial this year but failed to come through in the various events because of a series of "breaks." By virtue of his winning the title, Perry had to relinquish his medalist prize which was won by Ralph Gerhart, who qualified second, owing to the rulings of the tourney which forbid two prizes to a player.
