In reference to changing the hours In
the government departments It seems to
me that 1t would be very unwise. The
reason given-that 1t would afford
other hour for recreation in the after
noon-is not very good one. for it is
usually SO warm at $3.50 pm. In the sum-
mer that no one could possibly enjoy ex-
ercise at that time. and the clerk would
be much better of at his desk, where II is
usually kept cool by the use OF electric
fans. Recreation taken under such con-
ditions would be harmful rather than
beneficial. On the other hand. a little
exercise taken in the cool part of the
morning would be enjoyable and helpful.
And again, 1t is well known that the
early part OF the night In the city Is SO
warm that no one can sleep much before
midnight. SO that we should be allowed
as much sleep in the morning, when it is
cool, as possible in order to get sufficient
rest to fit us for work. 1t should be borne
In mind that any such change would very
1t would be very difficult, IL not impos-
sible, to get servants to come to our
homes an hour earlier to prepare break
fast for us. And those OF US who board
would probably have our landlady tell us
that, owing to the earlier breakfast,
which makes additional trouble and ex-
pense. she would be compelled to raise
the price.
1t would be inadvisable to close the de-
partments at $3.50. for the people have
considerable business to transact with the
government, and 1t would be unfair to
them to shut them out SO early.
Then, too, there are a great many
clerks living a good distance out OF
Washington who would find It impossi-
BILE to get to the office by am, so that
they would be compelled to sacrifice their
homes and come into the city to live,
causing them much hardship and loss.
We would find, to our sorrow, that IL this
change Is made 1t will eventually prove a
long step toward an eight-hour day for
the governments clerical force. We
had better be content to let well enough
alone by voting against any change. If
some of the clerks want to go to see the
ball game let them get excused and
charge the time to their leave. / am sure
that soem such arrangement might be-
made. LEO EMERSON.

CANTWELL LEAVES.
Georgetown Captain Joins Cincinnati
This Afternoon.

Capt. Cantwell, or, better, ex-captain
Of the Blue and Gray base ball team,
after twirling on the heights for four
years, during which time he has had un-
qualified success in collegiate circles, bade
adieu to his teammates yesterday after
noon, and this morning left for New
York. where he reports for duty on the
Reds at the Hotel Colonial this after
noon. His final day at Georgetown was
spent quietly. the big fellow being out
In a suit practicing with the men whom
he has led to victory so often during
his four-year career.
After practice a sort Of an informal
reception was held in the gymnasium, all
the lads wishing Cantwell great success
among the big lights. Although 1t was
a great day for the elongated twirler, 1t
was nevertheless a gloomy one, as the
breaking away from college Is not the
easiest thing for man to do. Gen.
uine sorrow was shown on all sides that
the big fellow could not stay longer
and. mixed with the well-wishes was
many q word of regret
CantWell was, of course, confident that
he would be successful, and he told the
boys that he would always remember
his pleasant days at Georgetown as the
greatest of his life. He then thanked
them for their steady work this sea-
son. and, wishing them success In the
future, went his way, leaving behind
many of the youngsters hoping that some
day lot of his kind would fall to them.

INTERCLASS GAMES.
Two Scheduled to Take Place To
morrow at Georgetown.


The completing contests in the first
leg of the Georgetown Interclass League
will be played on the hilltop field tomor-
row. the juniors clashing with the fresh
men and the seniors with the sopho-
mores. One of the games will take place
In the morning, and the other in the aft
ernoon. the time for each to be appointed
at meeting Of the captains this even
ing.
In both cases 1t will be the first time
that tine contending mines have met In a
regular battle this spring. The freshies
have defeated the juniors In a practice
game, and, on form,. should win tomor-
row. The first-year men have not lost q
contest yet and are ambitious to finish
with clean slate, SO that the bunch that
trims them will have to go some. Sit
terding and Smith will compose the 1912
battery. while 1910 will send Dilkes to
the rubber and McNulty behind the plate.
The seniors and sophs seem to be more
closely matched. and hence this scrap
viii. probably be hotter than the other.
These two classes are tied for second
place in the league, each having a victory
over the juniors and having been de-
feated by the freshies. The showings in
previous games make them look pretty
evenly matched, SO that, considering all
the circumstances surrounding 1t. the
game should be the best of the year.
Both aggregations will line up the same
as in the other games, Corcoran twirling
for the cap and gown men, and Martin.
the ex-prep star, being in the box tor
the sOphs. Both of these are experienced
pitchers, fact which will lend a whole
lot of interest to the doings, as there has
been much speculation among the Blue
and Gray students Of late as to which is
the better of the two.
