NICE BOOST FOR
THE NATIONALS

From letter received yesterday from
former graduate OF Georgetown. now re-
siding in Texas, to a well known citizen.
an admirer Of base ball In general. the
following IS clipped:
when the Washington club was In
Houston recently I went out to the park
to see them play, and. recalling the deep
interest you took in the welfare and ad-
vancement Of the club, I cannot resist
writing something about the present
team. simply because 1t Is so different
from the one 1 used to pay out portion
of my allowance to see play when I was
studying at dear old Georgetown.
I'm the first place I want to assure
you that down here in Texas We have
some pretty fair clubs in the alleged
minors and that / have seen contests
that have completely Shaded those l
SO called; so you want to get away from
the false idea that the Galveston, Hous-
ton. Dallas and Fort Worth teams are
of the class in which we Georgetown boys
used to place Maryland Agriculture. St
Johns College and Kendall Green.
My long college days in Washington
made me an ardent rooter for the team.
even though in those days We always
had the honor of the left of the line and
hence / went out with some hope of see
ing something better than was my wont
in the long ago. Say, | was SO taken
back when / saw them In action that l
could not believe 1t was Washington. and
had to take off my glasses to rub them
up to be sure that really the legend
Washington-was on their shirts. and,
being convinced that 1t was there. ! set
tied back, happy.
1T is a team, and II I may be per-
sonal and use his name that fellow Can
tillon has got an aggregation that will
make the rest Of the other clubs hustle
and will surely warm the hearts Of the
Washington folks. who, as / remember
so well. were the most devoted support
ers of the always-to- be-despised tailend-
ers
Texas is gone crazy over the doings
Of that big fellow Johnson-Walter. I be-
have appeared bearing his name In the
shops of Houston He reminds me OF
Eddie Bach, Georgetown's great star In
its palmy days when the Blue and Gray
was on top. Burns Is another one that
caught my eye. while Dolly Gray Is
destined to reach a spot in the heart Of
Washington fans that will not rub away
He is great and we Texans just think
he is it, with a great big it. 1t was
at the corner, and Conroy at the third
angle, and Mcbride at short-well. Char
ley Moran of sainted memory sinks into
forgetfulnesS. / am sure at last WASH
ington has a team that will reflect credit
on the National capital and will set afire
the passions of the patrons Of the game
and I will follow them in 1909 with more
enthusiasm than / have since leaving my
old home for my permanent place here
in proportion and will wipe out old Vir-

BRITISH WIN IN
CABLE CHESS MATCH

NEW YORK, March 27.-Compiete re-
versal OF form on the part OF the Amer

chess match today allowed the British
team to carry off the victory by a score
Of 5 games to 4, with one unfinished
game. which, according to the experts.
will also result in loss upon adjudica-
ton by Baron Albert de Rothschild of
Vienna, to whom the position will be
sent as referee
results Of the efforts of A. B. Hodges

added only one more victory. scored by
Frank J. Marshall, at the expense Of

edly. C. s. Howell, New York state
champion. took liberties with a drawn
position and drifted into q losing line Of
play. while H. Helms. with decisive
advantage over his opponent. entered
upon an unsound combination and lost

G. j. Schweitzer of Brooklyn and W.

both had inferior positions Friday night,
and neither Of their opponents let go

Stadelman, Philadelphia. also added
half point to the American total. S.
Mlotkowski. at the ninth board, lost
ground in his game today when he was
thought to have draw we'll in hand, and
1t was his game that was held over for
adjudication. Practically the result Of
the match stands at six to four for the
British team. inasmuch as the expert
opinion Is that the young Philadelphia

Mcmillan Memorial Assn For
merly Organized Thursday

The o. A. Mcmillan Memorial Asso
citation wal formally organized Thurs
day afternoon at a meeting held In
the Mcmillan High School. Misses
Elizabeth Gill and Maude Wallace
the orislnators Of the movement to
erect a tablet or bust in honor Of
the late superintendent Of Mexico
schools, were present and explained
In detail what their hopes were.
The primary purpose Of the organ
~izatIon is to erect, through voluntary
subscriptions, a bust Of bronze or a
tablet in honor of the late d. A. Nc
MILAN, which will be placed in the
Auditorium Of the high school bear
ing his name when that section OF
the building is completed.
These subscriptions are not to be
solicited but must come voluntarily.
A member of each class viii be ap-
pointed a subsidiary secretary to in
form the members of his class of
the movement and that should they
care to subscribe he has been ap-
pointed to receive money.
Miss Elizabeth Gill was elected
president, Miss Esther Norris secre-
tary and James Jesse treasurer. All
subscriptions that are not sent to the
class representative should be given
to Mr.. Jesse. The executive com
mittee is composed of three off
GERS of the Association and Superin'
tendent Hawthorne. The committee
to ascertain the cost Of a tablet OF
bronze bust Is Mrs. r. r. Arnold, ST.,
Miss Maude Wallace and L. NJ. White
The information committee is com
posed of the Rev. A. A. Wallace,
Miss Mamie Wright and L. M. White.
The style of memorial depends, TO
a certain extent, upon the amount
subscribed. Whether q bias relief OF
bust a be modelled from q photo
graph the committee does not know,
and shout. 1t prove they cannot, then
1t is hoped to not only erect a tablet
In honor of Prof. Mcmillan, but also
place a handsome oil painting OF
him In the building.
The matter of perpetuating the As.
ISOLATION after all the subscriptions
have been made and forming an
alumni Association for the High
School with each year celebrating by
an annual dinner was also discussed
and will later be given serious con.
sideration,
1t is hoped that all who intend sub.
scriblng will do SO Immediately so
that the memorial may be placed in
the building for commencement and
unveiled with fitting ceremonies.
