GEN. wAsHINGToN's ANCESTRY.
Discovered that lie Descended from
Famous English Kings.

(Caro. Tickner. in Harpers Weekly
Let no man fancy he knows
sport" said the late Moncure d. Con-
way, unless he has family-treed an
ancestor OF George Washington"
Yet, despite the many clever schol-
ars and antiquarians of America,
who have tried their hands at this
sport, 1t has remained for fellow
of the Royal Historical Society of
England, Rev. Frederick w. Ragg,
to convey to us the latest interesting
revelation regarding the ancestry OF
our first President
Barring those who champion the
truly democratic standpoint less
prevalent to-day than it was in 1920,
which sCorns to connect itself with
Ola World titles and abhors ROYALTY
there remain many liberal souls
among us who do not grudge to one
who was acknowledged first in war
and first In peace share in the hon.
age accorded the first family of Eng
land.
Edward | was himself a mighty
warrior, and first in many wars; his
prowsss was early exercised on the
Turks, during that last crusade ever
embarked Oh by England's kings and
when the throne became his own he
successfully carried out his D ,oject of
uniting England, Scotland anIWales.
lie brought the famous Scone to
Westminster Abbey, and under him
England became a mighty nation. He
was monarch wise and great, even
though he had little leaning toward
democratic government and did not
display special fondness for Magma
Charta. Edward Longshanks was not
an ancestor to be despised by his de-
scendant George, Of knightly bearing
and equally long legs.
That this direct line OF descent has
not until now been established may
seem a bit surprising in view Of the
exhaustive research that has been
devoted to the Washington ancestry.
The reason is, however, not difficult
TO understand when one reflects that
such research has been concerned ex-
clusively with the male line, while
this royal blood is introduced into
the family by Marguaret Butler, who

TRYING TO GET WISCONSIN
COAST COLLEGES WANT TO
FORM A ROWING ASSOCIATION.

CHICAGO, January lit is reported
that the Pacific coast rowing colleges
Washington, Stanford and California
want to tear Wisconsin away from its
allegiance to the east and form of the
four a western college regatta associa-
tion. Washington has gone SO far as to
send a letter to the Badgers suggesting
the scheme and asking whether 1t would
be feasible and whether the Wisconsin
men would be willing to enter into such
an agreement.
There has been serious talk about the
chances of having a Pacific coast crew
row in the intercollegiate regatta at
Poughkeepsie. and it is known that last
year one of the crews was in communi-
cation with the board Of stewards OF
the regatta in order to find out on what
terms a crew from the far west could
enter. 1t was advised then to wait until
the Pacific coast regatta was well estab-
lished and to send the winning crew
each year If the winners wanted to try
their luck here. Apparently from the
move to get Wisconsin sowing with the
three colleges further west the coast
crews have about given up their original
plan of visiting Poughkeepsie. However
that is not sure. because if Wisconsin
turns down the plan-and it is generally
thought that such will be the case-the
original scheme still holds good

NEW YORK. January 1.-THE question
o. the status of women in motoring sport

Mrs. Joan Cuneo. wife OF nAdrew y. Gu
neo, the New York banker. Mrs. Cuneo
has competed in number of events en-
both track and road, has driven in two
Glidden tours and repeatedly demon
strated her ability to handle high-power
car In competition with men.
Mrs. Cuneo has recently bought 4o-oo-
horsepower car. and has notified T. F.
Moore of her intention cf entering the
Westchester race. Mr. Moore tod her
that personally he would be glad to sae
her compete. but that he could not speak
for the committee, and there was no tell
ing how 1t will decide on the application
It is known that there will be opposition
In the committee to accepting the entry
OF a woman. but Mrs. Cuneo Is in earnest
and will not be easily rebuffed. She has
strong arguments in favor of her being
allowed to race, and the question bids fair
to be a sort of test case
Mrs. Cuneo claims right to recogni-
ton on the ground Of having been In other
races and proven her ability. She argues
that they have woman racers In Europe
and that there is no just reason why She
should not be allowed to compete here.

PCToMACS ACQUIRE CLEAR
TITLE TO SITE OF BUILDING.

After several months Of vexatious de-

bership considerably, the Potomac Boat
Club as duly notified Wednesday that
the title to the site of the new boat
house was clear of membranes. and the
Washington Title Company was prepared
to give them a good deed.
This intelligence was given out at the
meeting of the board Of governors
Wednesday night by Treasurer Warden.
who had the deal In hand. and the archi-
tects, Messrs. Mullett, who were present
at the meeting. were requested to get
out the accepted plans and specifications
at once. the hope being that work may
now start not later than February 1. SO
that the house may be in shape by May
for the reception of the oarsmen.
The design of the house is artistic and
has hitherto been fully described in The
Star, and although the house will not be
quite as large as the one formerly occu-
pied, 1t will be just as commodious. as
by Simplification of methods space will
be utilized that In the old structure went
to waste. 1t will be modern in every re-
spect and will have an assembly room
that will surpass the one in the old house
which was the largest of its kind in any
installed SO that members may utilize the
house in the winter months for dances. re-
ceptions and reading rooms, and it is on
the cards to make the club more social.
There was considerable satisfaction
evinced at the meeting over securing the
property, as in some circles the story
was being spread that the purpose of the
stockholders of the club was to deefat tho
building scheme and to allow It to run
along without home ultimately ending
in bankruptcy. President Merritt was es-
pecially glad, as it was his earnest desire
to put decided quietus on such harmful
talk.
1t now means hustle and hustle on the
part of the Potomacs, and they intend
that the fight shall begin at once for
new home and the middle states regatta.
A full meeting of the cub will take place
in February, when the details Of the cam
paign for the year will be laid down and
every individual member will be expected
to put his shoulders TO the work.

MARKED HIS HAND.
To Be Amputated Same Way as
ee-Fingered Browns Bum Mitt.

i've had many peculiar inquiries con-
cerning that missing finger on my pitch
ing hand" Mordecai Brown, the star
morning, 'but the strangest of all oc-
Cured In the south during our training
trip last spring.
Zone of the many recruits that Presi-
dent Murphy took on the trip was a
.twirler by the name Of Purdue. He was
rather an enigma to the majority of the
players, who did not know whether to
take his funny little sayings and doings
as jokes or whether Purdue really was
serious about them. ...,e,
"One day. while we were gather in
the hotel lobby discussing things in gen.

came over to me and said:

after he had examine it closely he said:
you win all your games with your hand

"'Well, / swan he replied. And how
did you lose the finger?'

RACING TO GO ON THE SAME.
ANTI-BETTING LAW WILL NOT
KILL THE SPORT.

NEW YORK, January 11.-Serious as
Gov. Hughes recommendation to the leg
,slature may appear at first glance, there
is no present feeling among horsemen
that the sport will be killed in New York
state. 1t is the general opinion that
there will be racing at the New York race
courses the coming season, Wlthout any
question. and that should the anti-book-
making bill be taken up by the legislative
BODY the recommendations of Gov. Hughes
accepted and bill passed in accordance
With those recommendations. the racing
associations will accept the situation. anu
the spoft will continue in spite OF the
changed conditions.
These changed conditions in their prac-
tical enforcement may be summarized
thus: So far as horsemen are concerned
there WILL be no diminution In the values
of stakes and possibly purses for the
coming season. The stake events are, In
effect. contracts with the horsemen, and
the $4,000 Brooklyn. Suburban and
Brighton handicaps, which the associa-
tions have carefully built up to this hand
some figure, and other rich stakes Will
be run as usual. Good horses will COM
pete for them. The authorities will be
given the same chance to enforce the pro-
visions Of the proposed bill against betting
as they now have against betting in
pool rooms, which, it may be said, also
have never been enforced.
Without question there would be de-
crease in the attendance at the race tracks
through the suppression of public wager
ing on races and the establishment OF a
strict credit system. This keeping away
from the tracks of thousands of people
also would have the inevitable effect OF
Increasing the outside betting and the
attempted establishment of hundreds OF
poolrooms to accommodate the ineradica-
BILE desire to bet.

LITTLE STORIES OF THE BASE BALL PLAYERS.

like or there would be stage villain
famine in America he couldn't help 1t,
and that was all about 1t: and while he
was putting all the melodramatic ruff
fans out of business the manager OF the
show was kept busy furnishing new
material.
Waddell was perhaps the only actor be-
fore or since who didn't suffer from
stage fright, for from his first appearance
in st. Louis until he quit the show In
Milwaukee he faced an applauding au-
dience not oAly without a quiver. but
indeed with delight that was childish
to degree.
The only time in his rather brief the
atrical career that the Rube was stunned
was one night in Chicago. when the
theater was packed to the door and at
actor the applause was something stu
pendous.
Now in this play there was a line he
had to get off just after he had hurled
the villain across the stage and had re-
covered the securities calling for about
a billion of dollars.
With all this wealth in his grasp 1t was
George Edwards business to step to the
center of the stage and yell out like
So at the proper moment Waddell strode
to the front and waving the phoney Sc
curities shouted:
'"The world is mine!"
Just then the shrill piping and alarm
ingly penetrating voice Of boy In the
gallery cried out:
Hi, dere, John D.. when did you Gil
intec town?'
This was too much for the mighty
Waddell, who Immediately broke down
ans led the audience in its shrieking
laughter.
