INTER-FRAT LEAGUE
MAY Be ORGANIZED

A movement seems imminent at
George Washington University this
spring that should have a most bene-
fetal effect on the athletics of the uni
versity In general and baseball in par
tieular.
This Is the organization OF a frater-
nifty baseball league. In previous years
there have been teams organized by the
various "frats' in a more or less desul-
tory fashion which have played games
with each other, and pose. bly, with one
or two outside organizations If the
strength Of the team warranted such ac-
ton. But no concerted action. no or
ganizatiOn, or anything that resembled
a combination OF the various teams in
one body with a schedule Of games TO
be played by the various teams at Ger
tain dates, has ever approached.
This year, however IL looks very
much as though some action would be
taken IN the near future by representa-
uVes OF the various organizations, and
at least II the league is not formed there

GEORGE WASHINGTON
LOSES TO DAVIDSON
Lack of Team Work Respon-
sible for TarheeIs' Vic
tory Over Travellers.

GREENSBORO. n. c., April 1D-rhe
excellent team work and skill with the
wiIlow which George Washington dis
played in her first game with the David
son College nine was woefully lacking
yesterday, and as result the visitors
lost a long drawn out and rather unln-
teresting game by to g.
The WashIngtonians used three pitch
ers in their efforts. and this fact may in
some measure account fo- the loss of
the game. Hester. who was the first on
the slab. got himself into several bad
holes. but pulled out nicely. He was
called to the bench in the seventh ses-
sion and Shea substituted.
Neither side was able to score until
the fourth, when Davidson tailed on
two hits. fielders choice. and a long
fly. George Washington promptly re-
taliated in their half, Hester finding. one
to his liking and Immediately hoisting
It over the left field fence for a circuit
Of the bases.
In the following inning the North Car
olinlans pushed another man across the
counting pan on three singles and IN
the fatal seventh scored two more.

Black Crook Jr.

Melody, mirth, comedy and beau-
ty are the chief ingredients of the
gala offering of the "Black Crook
Extravaganza" which is registered
to make its headquarters at Grand
Opera House for one night only,
Tuesday, September 10th. Those
who are regular supporters of this
class of attractions will easily dis
cover a revelation in viewing this
latest of all shows. Not only is the
entire offering built on a founda-
ton of a two dollar production, but
in many ways it even surpasses the
magnifcence of spectacular attrac-
tions whose only fame rested in the
brilliancy of their equipment. 1t is
needless to say that something of
an unusual splendor will be offered
to corroborate the assertion made.
The various electrical effects are
absolutely original and protected
by law, the costumes are of a daz-
zling splendor and apt to create the
envy of the lady viewers, while the
scenic display is superb and elabo-
rate in every detail. Naturally the
large array of beautiful women in
their fascinating forms and bewitch-
Ing sweetness lend the touch and
charm of fairyland's brilliancy to
the whole which furnishes bewil-
dering background to the glittering
two burlettas and the excellent
vaudeville specialties which are in
terwoven in the non plus ultra Of.
fering of "The Black Crook, Jr."
Those responsible for the principal
comedy parts are the well-known
Mack and Burgess, Irish comedy
entertainers. Carleton and Nevins,
German laugh provokers; Corrine
DeForrest, the Chic Chausonnette;
Kelly and Armstrong, in animated
illustrated songs; May Butler. the
little girl with the big voice; assist
ed by a chorus of the most beauti-
full show girls.

PLENTY OF GAME.
More Quail Than at Any Time During Past
Five Years, Says Dr.. Kabfus.

"Our reports show that the game
will be more plentiful in Pennsyl-
vania this year than it has been for
many years past. So states DR..
Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the
State game commission, after COM
piling the latest reports of his dep
uties.
DR.. Kalbfus also said that there
are more quail now than there has
been at any time during the past
five years and that the quail inn
ported by the commission from the
southern states are thriving and in.
creasing rapidly.
Rabbits are SO plentiful as to be
come nuisance in many localities;
there is an abundance of pheasants
and more deer than have been
known for years. One of the rea-
sons for the abundance of game is
the protection given quail and
pheasants, especially by the people
of the rural districts, during the
winter.
DR.. Kalbfus also said that the
revised edition of the game and fish
laws of Pennsylvania would be
ready for general distribution by
Saturday.

There are large areas of land in
the eastern section of the United
States that are fit for nothing but
forestry, and the forest service at
Washington recognizing this fact,
offers its service to land owners
who desire to pl mt barren acres to
the best advantage. 1t does seem
as if there would be responses to
this offer. Not only corporations
but individuals often own acres and
miles of land that do not nay the
taxes assessed against them. but
that could be made valuable in the
future by planting them with trees.
Why not invest the money in trees,
plant them on the vacant land and
let them grow. 1t would be long
term investment, but the trees
would grow into money and plenty
of il.

THE FAMILY CURFEW.
The Best Kind Of Curiew in the Market.

The Best KIND Of Curiew in the Market.
An exchange aptly remarks: Ev-
cry family should have a curfew
which should positively ring to-
night" and every night if needed
These curfews are inexpensive and
homemade. Take piece OF thin
board two feet long and whittle one
end down to a handle; then take
the child that needs the curfew and
bend him over barrel. Now take
the piece Of siding in the hand and
use it for clapper. Put it on hot.
Divide the strokes evenly and see
that none miss. Good for a boy or
a girl up to the age of sixteen, and
applications are warranted to cure
the most pronounced case of stree,
walking that exists. The music
the curfew makes is finer than
singing. "Where is My Wandering
Boy Tonight ?"

ment is applying itself to that end.
