This association waa one of the most active In all the shipyards In Its brief career. Formerly, only a few weeks sro, It took the lead at once In boxing and other exhibitions held at Shibe Park for the benefit of our soldiers and sailors. Sonio of the best boys In the fighting came donated their services to make these affaire.' successful. Following; some trouble at the yard last week, growing out of the employ ment or nine nrofesslonal baseball players, there came some criticism of the athletic association and Us purpose!. Although the crltlc3 woro but few, heads of the association decided to disband and put the matter up to the member ship. It Is said there will be no re organization this season, but a new association will probably be formed next spring when baseball again makes Hi' appearance. There is no sign.of any feeling In the shipyard over the course matters havo recently taken. Harmony seems to be the watchword with everybody there as one of tho important essentials of Bhlp production.

Martin, said to havo been one of Charlie Schwab's right-hand men at the Sparrows Folnt shlpynrd, has gone to the Chester shipyard as general works manager. Martin takes the place of Glenn II. Trout, who has been promoted trr assist ant to General Manager I T. Knlskcrn. Trout was formely with the Harrlman railroad Interests In the West and went to the shipyard only last January. Ho has been rapidly promoted In return for his all-around usefulness. Ho Is a little fellow In stature, hut big and strong with the men throughout the yard. Ills successor is Just getting acquainted with the organization. Martin brought an assistant with him. This was creating a new Job. The new works manager is a veteran shipbuilder. There have been other Important changes In tho Chester plant. General Storekeeper Stevens has been appointed assistant to J. B. Johnson and "Rail road" Jackson has been moved up Into Stevens's old place. M. H. Spauldlng, In charge, of ynrd maintenance for sonio time, sprung a surprise on his friends. While engaged standardizing tools at the shipyard he met with some obstacles which caused him to resign. He was sent right back to the same plant by the Emergency Fleet Corporation as resident engineer over all engineers there. He Is a mining engineer by profession. His place In tho maintenance department Is being filled temporarily by M. B. White, master mechanic, H. T. Wels, superintendent of the machine shop, says he has resigned, but no official announcement has been made.' THE FAE.MPTION BUREAU at the Ches ter yard Is buiv sb can be with tha men nlllnarout and nllnir their questionnaires as fast as thev can with the aid of a special corps of helpers. TWO EX-FIRE CHIEFS of the Chester shipyard department were called, but only one. responded at tha Media Courthouse es. terday. Both were to have been put on trial upon Indictments for alleffed larceny, hut one, named McKenna, was not there. A bench warrant was Issued for his arrest. Fred C. Mumford, who has charse of both police and tire departments at the ahlparl. wishes the court business was all over, for It has taken a lot of his time already. His assistant. Maher. Is holding down his Job for the tlmo being, HOO 1SLNI OIRI.S will soon appear In unforms If they can have their wh, and they don't see why they tan't choose their own rags. Ther ar only about 1200 of them at this ard and most of them think uniforms more buslness.like. As there was some objection in their ranks, hoveer. they put the question to a ote and those In favor gained a sweeping victory. The mi nority may still hne their own way about It, though. If they can stand the great majority going around In nattv uniforms and receiving heaps of attention every where, all right. With the question de. elded, the girls will go ahead with their plwns and In a week or two some of them may make thtlr first appearance In their new shipard B'arb, whatever It may be. Probably the color will ho blun. but there are not a few who favor khaki, like the soldiers nxar, or the next thins to It.

"So, really, there's very llttlo to grumble about, Is there?" smiled Per kins. "For your Information, Croflon has had not less than $25,000 worth of questionable business declined, and Carta has had about the same. Makes your $7000 look small, doesn't It7" IIo put his arm through tho agent's and continued, "I don't blame you for getting vexed. I should probably do tho same. But Just remember, old fellow, that tho company wants all the busi ness it can get and would take nil It could nnd should, In tho Interest of tho ngent, tho company and tho prospect. its to our interest to no it, so ou may pany and tins mado many since then Yerkcs De sure mat wo would never hurt our- nas been with tho russy.s.

I did, but It's Just unset me for tho time being to havo n prospect I had worked on for a month turned down so quickly by the company." "Quito natural, too, Perkins said heartily, "but It's all right now, so we will forget It." I was telling Francis about it this evening. He was mighty Interested. "Mr. Perkins must be an excellent manager, for ho ccrtnlnly put that agent In the right frame of mind to strive for business, "He ought to have given him the dickens," I said hotly, "that guy al ways keeps upsetting us. "Wrong nguln, Peter," .laughed Fran cis, "A sales manager knows that the only way to get salesmen to produce Is to Interest them In their proposition and keep them contented. Mr. Perkins could havo curtly told the man that the case was closed and that he'd better go after more business, but If he had, the agent would have been sulky on the Job and In consequence done poorly; but j It Is, he'll work hard because he feels he's apprcclatod." 1 guess old Perkins knows what he's about all right, all right.

The "silk umbrella" contest has cer tainly got our agents going. One guy got as mad as a benr with a sore head because a case of his got turned down. He'd got a twenty thousand dollar policy all signed and everything O. K but after the doctoi had given the ap plicant "tho onco over" and reported that he was on the blink In some way or other, the company declined the risk. "It's robbery," fumed the agent. "Hero I work my blooming head off with a prospect that Perkins Perkins, mind you gave me, and then when I land him, they go and turn him down for some little two by four Inch weakness. "If It had been Crofton or Garta, you can bet your eye teeth It would have been accepted. Itank favoritism, that's what It Is. I've had enough of It and tnko It f loin mo I'm going with a com pany that can treat Its agents white."

"Why why, because you " Ho halted lamely. "You fellows never did llko me and you'd hato to have me win the contest not that I care a darn for an umbrella I can buy ono any time I want one." ' I expected to hear Perkins give him hell, but to my surprise, he said as quiet as you please: "I'm really sorry you think that and I know jou must really think it or you wouldn't say so. If It's true, vve'ie Just a bunch of crooks; if It's not ttue, jou'll be glad to know It, won't i jou?" "I suppose so." ; "Well, how many cases have jou had , lurneu uowu in ine last year, ami tor how much?" "I can tell you, all right," he came back quickly, as he opened a little note book. "Let's see with this $20,000. It totals to to $38,000. Think of It!" Here ho began to get excited, $38,000 worth of business chucked away." "Hold on a minute," said Perkins quietly. ''How much of that was there any question about? Some of It. of course, was from people who had been rejected by other companies. How much was there any real doubt about?" "Well, there was that Pillsburv case. and " I "Back Water, old chap, Just total tho amount, will you?" After some more palavering, he totaled up the amount of doubtful business, nnd said sulkily, "Twenty-seven thousand." "Of which," smiled Perkins, "this one policy was for $20,000.
