BEST COLORED ELEVEN.
Foot Ball Season at the Colored High
Schools a Big Success.

M Street and Armstrong high schools
met in the yearly struggle on the grid
iron at American League park No
vember II. A memorable battle took
place. resulting in a victory for Arm
strong Tech. The vanquished lost by the
score of II to o. This was the first time
defeat, and the first time in the foot ball
history of Tech that the Orange and Blue
las waved over the Crimson and Black.
Superb team work. onside-kicks, forward
passes. experienced players and general
up-to-date playing Of Armstrong against
good playing of an inexperienced team
caused the result.
A quantity of foot ball material was on
the squad at Tech. Nine players of this
years team at Tech won the school let
ter in 1908, while three only remained at
NJ Street. Mr.. Robinson. a graduate OF
Oberlin College, who has coached several
southern colleges to victory, gave Tech
his services, and, as prouphesied in early
season. turned out a winner. Mr.. Walter
Smith, NJ Streets coach, put forth the
best team possible from the scarcity OF
good material on hand.
Players of caliber sufficient to win a
place of honor on an all-scholastic team
picked from this section of the country. as
evidenced from their playing in the
games of the season, are Artie Brown,
Richard cambridge, Claude cambridge,
Beckwith. Kenny of Armstrong and
Richardson, Shippley and Mann of NJ
Street. Artie Brown. captain of Tech
team. is one of the pluckiest little players
in the game. Lawson of M Street was a
close second, and with little experience
would equal any. BeckWith and Shippley
are aggressive, strong players. Mann of
M Street made trouble for all opponents.
Richardson and Richardson cambridge
hold end positions on an honor eleven. c.
cambridge and Kenny of Tech look good
in the backfield, general briliancy mark
ing kenny's star work. Miles Of NJ
Street comes in well for first-year man.
With the exception of the positions of
this section of the country could be Sc
lected from the District teams.
No very serious accidents have hap
pened to players of the colored high
school teams. In the last ten years only
three injuries of note, broken leg. two
dislocations Of shoulders and a broken
collar bone. have taken pace. The gen.
eral physical condition of the players is
good.
Since the wrought-up public has de-
manded the adjustment Of foot ball until
the game is remodeled. it is wished that
steps be taken to provide for sports that
will take the place of foot ball as body
and character building sport. Volley
ball, basket ball. hand ball. soccer and
track and field games are good games
and should be encouraged. All that is
above-named sports are courts and fields
upon which to play them Athletic fields
for high schools should be provided.

year. Patsy Donovan came into prom

came into the National League. Al

place. he was always popular, and most
of the big cities enjoyed his company 81

Donovan. good base thief and a peachy
hitter.
Duffy's Record.
Hughey Duffy, though an active player
before Donovan broke in, outlasted Patsy
and is still able to hit as hard as any
body. He will probably send himself to
bat now and then as a pinch hitter fol-
the Sox. but will not try to play any
fielding pohition. Duffy was one of An
sons merry lads for several years pre-
vious to the Brotherhood. and then, going
to Boston, made a grand record as a
batter and one of the keenest thinkers
ever in the game.
Jim Mcclure antedates even Duffy as
an active player, having caught in the
fast company back in 1854. The deacon
has played with numerous teams since
then, giving up the mask only a year
ago, and could still go in If all the other
catching talent went to the bad. He

Stallings' Post.
Few of the eastern fans, perhaps
are aware that the dark and bur1y Stall
lings was once a catcher of renown, but
he was. He caught in California more
than twenty years ago. played in several
minor leagues and had a season in the
fast company along about 1890 Taking
to the managerial work later on. he has
been in and out of the fast company a
couple of times. but now seems destined
to stick awhile. as he has shown better
work in plotting the Highlanders thar
when he was at Detroit,
Jack O'Connor for many years was one
of the greatest of the catchers. While
his fame was not sounded so loudly as
that of Ewing. Kelly and Bennett ole
pitchers declare that he never had a SUI

catching job. and that as joller, a
CHEEKY helper of the team, he was UNI

PREPS' HARD SCHEDULE.
Georgetown Goal Tossers Hope to
Make Creditable Record.

The schedule for the Georgetown prep
basket ball team, which was announced
by Manager Wurtz yesterday, and which
includes over fifteen games. is the most
representative list that the embryo col
legians have ever attempted. Not only
does 1t contain the names of the best
club and school teams in the District,
but 1t also takes In Fredericksburg Col
lege and the Baltimore City College. both
of which quints have in past seasons
made envious records among teams of a
far superior caliber to the props. The
fact tnat the schedule calls for two trips
also distinguishes it from the lists of
other years, as the colts have never been
permitted to play basket ball on floors
outside of Washington.
AS Western High is down for three
games, one of which has already been
played. and as contests are pending with
Central and Business. the Hilltoppers
will have every chance to prove them
selves superior to the high school CUNTS
of the city, and, judging from the severe
trouncing which they administered to
Western last Friday, they stand a good
chance of making the best OF their OPP
portunities.
The performance OF the youngsters in
the four battles that they have played
show that much Improvement has been
made over the quint of year ago. Capt.
Murphy at center. Loehl and Trunbull
at the forwards and Waldron and Heis-
kell at the guards Is combination hard
to beat, and it is all the more invincible
since in the persons or Mclnerney and
Lane the team has two substitutes capa-
bic of filling any holes that may be made
in the regular lineup.
Since the defeat by Northminsters in
the opening game Of the year Coach
Joyce has worked the men hard and has
succeeded in instilling in their minds all
the principles OF team work. The pass
ing has now reached what may be called
the stage OF excellency. and the goal
shooting Is fast improving. The lads are
especially anxious to defeat their rivals
of Fredericksburg College next Wednes-
day, and Judging from their work against
the Northminsters last evening they stand
a good chance of carrying off the victory.

after.
Curiously enough the eight American
League managers are also old players
of great reputation, men who in the days
OF their glory were among the topnotch-
ers Of their time The bridge between
the bench and the field therefore is pro-
vided by this remarkable choice of lead
ers-men who have been through all the
points Of play, men who know from tho:
own experience just what g. player
should and should not do, and who are
capable of imparting this knowledge
without actually worrying over the add
ed work of their own personal records
at bat and field
It will be noticed, too. that the day of
the theoretical manageable man who
never played the game and tries to figure
out the problems simply from the view
point of an interested outsider-has also
gone. The eight men now at the helm
are ideally fitted for their present jobs,
no matter from what angle you regard
them, and Ban Johnson's circuit ought
to see some great generalship and rival
foxery during the coming season.
Eight Old Stars.
The eight men who are on deck for 1910
are Connie Mack, Patsy Donovan.
Hughey Duffy. Jim Mcclure, Hughey
Jennings. George Stallings. Jack O'Con-

are Turks, while Jennings and Stallings

the stand heavy enough to justify the
continuation of numbering operations
for a considerable time.
The fact that none of the native
trees in Hawaii furnish construction
timber has led to extensive tree plant
ing, both by the Territorial Govern
ment and by private interests. This
work has been going on for the last
thirty years and is constantly increas-
ing in extent and Importance. The
trees principally planted are several
kinds of eucalyptus, the Australian
ironwood and silk oak, and the Japa-
nese cedar Wood and timber cut from
the planted forests in Hawaii is now
being used for fence posts, railroad
ties, bridge timbers and wagon work.
Practically all the construction timber
used in Hawaii is imported from
Puget Sound and Northern California,
mainly redwood and Northwest Doug

In the reports of the Z. s. Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor it is
stated that for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1907, there was imported into
Hawaii from the mainland thirty mil
lion six hundred and three thousand
| feet, board measure, of timber boards
and planks, valued at $685. For
| the same year 17,476,000 shingles,
valued at 500 1907, and other unmanu-

Further comment on the desirability of
doing even a little towards securing a
local source of supply is unnecessary.

APPENDIX "A.n

Report of the Committee on Forests.
Honolulu, Hawaii, Nov. IA, 1908.
For a clear understanding of the
forest situation in Hawaii it is neees
sary that one be acquainted with the
conditions of topography and local eli
mate. Lying in the belt of the north
east trade winds and being mountain
Gus, it follows that the Hawaiian
Islands have a climate characterized
by contrasts. On the windward slopes
of the mountains is an area of high
precipitation; in the leeward districts
scant rainfall, even approaching arid
ity, is the rule. These facts, coupled
with the remarkable porosity of the
soil, due to its volcanic origin, have q
very direct bearing on the forest stu
alton.
There are two main classes of forest
in Hawaii. Both are of economic
| value; one because it helps to conserve
the water needed for irrigation, powe
| development and domestic supply, thu
other because it produces wood an
| timber. The forests of the former elias
are as a rule situated on the moist
windward slopes of the higher noun
tains. They are essentially "protec
ton forests in that their main valu
rests in the water that can be got fror
them. Those of the latter class, tn

Industrial Workers of the World Call
For Volunteers at Spokane,
Washington.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 16.---Ofiicials
of the Industrial Workers Of the World
directing the "free speech" movement
in Spokane, are bending every effort
to involve the government in compli-
cations with foreign nations as re-
suit of the threatened deportation Of
aliens under the immigration laws OF
the United States Vincent st. John,
counsel for the union, has instructed
the officials to insist upon the return
to Spokane of all persons cited for de-
portation, and it is given out that this
plan will be followed.
The ranks Of modern revolution
ists,' as the champions of free speech
call themselves, are sadly depleted,
following the wholesale arrests dur
ing the last ten days, and a call has
been issued for recruits. They have
also enlisted several hundred women
from various parts of the northwest
and elsewhere, who say they are
ready to go to jail to do their share
of the work, so far largely done by
men,"
The hunger strike" self-imposed
by prisoners at the city hall and the
Jail in the Franklin school has been
broken. This is a change Of tactics
by revolutionists. who believe they
have the best of the argument. Mayor
Pratt and Chief of Police Sullivan are
equally emphatic in their claims, de-
claring also that the city ordinance,
charging curbstone orators with dis
orderly conduct, will be enforced in
the future as in the past
