TECH MAY RACE PREPS.
Relay Teams May Clash Before Sea-

1t now looks as though the breach be-
tween Tech High and the Georgetown
Props will be healed up before long. AS
will be remembered. the Manual Train
ers refused to play foot ball against the
embryo collegians last fall. saying that
they did not like the treatment accorded
them by the latter The Props. how
ever, proved to the satisfaction of al
that they were ever courteous to theii
rivals and called to mind the fact that
both the players and coaches of the
downtown team expressed themselves
pleased at the spirit shown last June
during the base ball series.
Nothing more was done in the matter
until yesterday, when Coach Walker, OF
Tech, himself d Georgetown alumnus,
called on Coach Smith and Manager
Daley of the Props and had long TAX
with them. He said that as far as he
was concerned the two teams could be
matched and expressed the opinion that
he thought a race could be arranged
Further developments in the matter are
expected in the next few days.

create great deal of interest in this
community on account of the great rival

contending schools. 1t could come OFF
at one of the meets to be held in this
city during the next two months. and, as
dopesterS have the two tours pretty close

race would be an exciting one.

FORM CHESS CLUB.
Georgetown University Students to
Enter New Field

Georgetown is TO have a chess club.
and that in the very near future. a
number of the collegians who play the
greatest of board games have already
banded together for the purpose of eff
fecting an organization. with the object
in view of arranging matches with out
side teams. All of the big colleges of
the country are thus represented, and
there is no reason why the Blue and
Gray school could not turn out a team
of capable players.
Those who are pushing the project are
John Crosby. Russell DAILY, Frank Car
lin, Joseph McNulty and Charles OCon-
or. These five are expert nlanipulators
of cheSSmen and are chOck-fuil OF en-
thuSiasn. so that if the plan falls
through it will not be any faux of theirs.
Mr.. Crosby, the originator of the scheme,
last night announced that the forming
of the club would be attempted within
a week in order that matches might be
arranged for late in the spring.
What we want to do" said Mr.. Cros-
by lis to get more fellows interested
in the game. Playing chess is most
fascinating way TO spend an evening,
and ] am confident that once Il room
and men are provided We VIII have Il
large enrolment. Of course, to start
with. we do not expect to get more tnan
twenty names, most OF which will be
law school men. We will then proceed
Ia elect officers and provide quarters,
and when this is done tournament
will he held in order 10 get line on
he ability of the players If enough
of them show themselves clever at the
game matches will be arranged with
club teams of Washington. If our teams
are successful in these will imme-
diateIy challenge some of the large uni
verSities for games next fall, and. in the
end. may become members of the Inter
collegiate Chess Association, which holds
a big tournament every winter i'll New
York"

DARING sKIN-GRAFIING FEAT.
Sisters Bound Together Like Sianese

Helen and Minnie Brager. daughters of
Mr. = NJ Rrager. successful merchant.
The operation was performed in an eff
fort to save the life Of little Helen, who
is twelve years old Several months ago
she was struck by car and was dragged
over the rough stones of the streets. Her
chief injury consisted in the loss of con
siderable skin, which was SCraped off her
right leg. Leading physicians of that city

tiers gave m part of their skin to make
the opera ton possible.
While great care and precautlon were
resorted to- as is often the case the Oper-
alton was unsuccessful, and the skin re-
fused to grow. The family became
alarmed and. on the advice of their ply
stefan Helen was brought here and taken
30 the Union Protestant 1nfirmary about
ten days ago. when it was decided that
the only thing to do was to try "a bold
piece of skin-graftinS.
Little Minnie was sent for. She is fiji
teen years old. and was told of what she
was expected to do 70 save the life Of her
little sister. Without hesitation she
agreed.
Both girls were given an aIesthetic,
and large part of the skin of Minnie 5
