Furniture Sale

With all consideration for the increasing desire on the part of
the people for the conservation of the country's natural
resources we freely accord to the woodsman the right to go
into the snowcad forests of the Great Northwest and other timbered
regions and hew down the giant trees, drag them over the snow and
Ice to the mills, and finally turn them over to the makers of the
furniture that adds so much to the comfort of the human family.
No one has any quarrel with the woodchopper, no one cries
"Woodman, spare that tree" when they know good use
is to be made of the lumber. And so this annual sale of the products
who share in its immense benefits-and there are thousands
of them in and around Newark, from Dover to Barnegat

GORDON AND GRAVES WIN

\ large gallery braved the chilly

the closing matches of the twenty third
annual District of Columbia tennis cham
pionship tournament, which is being
played on the courts of the Bachelors
Club at WoodIey Park. With the excep-
ton of the women's singles. which have
been postponed until Monday afternoon.
the tourney was brought to a close when
Spencer Gordon and j. X. Graves de-
feated John Britton and Norris w Nc
Lean 40. 1913, 6-1 and O., in the final
round of the mems doubles This victory
also gives them the title as the Doyle
brothers-"Connie' and Harold Evil
not be able to defend it this year because
Of Comics absence from the city.
Britton and Mclean played the same
fiery, dashing game which has character
lied their play throughout the tourna-
ment and in the early stages of the
match they looked to be the winners
They received flying start In the open
ing set. dividing up the first four games
and then taking three straight They
lost two more and then took the last
which was very stubbornly contested.
Throughout the set some very clever len
mis- was shown and long. fast rallies
cropped out with almost every point
The second set was the best of the
three and although Gordon and Graves
finally landed it, there was lots of luck
attached to their victory. With but few
exceptions. each side won it's service and
the games alternated until the score
reached Sail, when the older pair made
a timely squirt which gave them the big
end of the score. The feature of the
match was Graves pretty playing at the
net, the big fellow putting up the best
game he has yet shown In the tOurna-
ment. being unusually speedy in his serv-
Ice and exceedingly strong in overhead
play. Many of those present thought he

did not display their best form. They
played in hard luck several times. or they
might have taken this set They showed
plenty Of pep but were cratic making
some really brilliant plays and then fol-
lowing them with others just the reverse
In the third set the youngsters seemed
to have shot their bolt. They tried hard
enough, but We're simply outclassed, their
opponents getting everything on their side

GEORGETOWN MEETS
WILLIAM AND MARY

Georgetown UNIVERSITIES varsity will
meet the William and Mary College foot
ball squad on the hilltop tomorrow after
noon. The game should be one of many
spectacular plays as the latter aggrega-
ton has been strengthened by the addi-
ton to several new members since its
81 to o defeat at the hands of Virginia
last Saturday. But nevertheless it is
very probable that the Blue and Gray
squad will carry off the victory by a
good margin. Notwithstanding this fore
cast. the struggle will undoubtedly be one
in which both teams will fight from the
start to the finish of the game.
The William and Mary squad Will ar
rive in Washington tomorrow morning
and will Immediately go out to George
town. where it's members will be the
guests Of the Blue and Gray squad.
Under good weather conditions there
should be a large crowd in attendance at
the game tomorrow, as the visiting ag-

four seven-minute quarters and will start
promptly at $3.50 o'clock.

Coming Colored Tennis Tournament
Will Be Well Attended.

The coming contest between the tennis
players of the Washington COlored y. NJ.
c. A. and the colored champions of Balti-
more. Nd, is creating quite a good deal
of interest 1t has been decided that the
tournament shall consist if six singles
and three doubles contests, one point be-
ing allowed for each contest, making it
necessary for the winning team to secure
at least five points out of a possible nine
to gain a victory. The Washington
players are hoping to take at least three
of the singles and two of the doubles,
although they realize that they have a
hard task before them and expect to
meet In the Baltimore team d foe worthy
of their steel. Some of the followers of
the Washington team are somewhat wor-
ried over the inability of two members
to appear for practice and they are afraid
that they may be caught mapping.

BY II. C. BYRD.

The various local elevens should show
better form in the games which they are
scheduled to play tomorrow. In each
of the contests the various teams should
show marked Improvement in their
style of play, both on the defensive and
offensive.
Especially on the offensive should the
local teams show up much better than
they did in their first contests. When a
foot ball team plays its first game its
offensive work is generally ragged, II
usually failing to get off its formations
effectively, and the backs do not get
their men in the interference they do
later in the season. On the defensive,
the men play better together, especially
lnemen who have to learn each other
before they can hope TO show at their
best
Georgetown should show a marked I'M
provement, especially on the offense. Al
though the Interference was well formed
in the opening game against the Seaman
Gunners the men failed to get the OPP
posing ends and secondary interference
as they should. 1t is probable. though,
that a great deal of that sort OF loose
play will be eliminated in tomOrrows
contests and it is certain that the line
will show up d whole lot better on the
offensive.
The Maryland AggieS have no game to-
morrow. but certain to show a mucn
better offense in today's game with Cell
trail than has been evidenced in either OF
the first two contests.
Gallaudet may not show quite as we'll
tomorrow as it did against Tech. because
the lineup of the team has been some
what changed and may not move as
smoothly as ii otherwise might in the
first regularly scheduled game with the
Baltimore City College.
The high school teams will also snow
much better form, the general expert
ence gained by them in their initial con-
test will have proved of great benefit
to them.
With the exception of Catholic Uni
versity. each of the local schools Will
play tomorrow, while the Maryland
Aggies play today. Georgetown VIII line

first line on the comparison OF the team

team by big margin. There is not one

, chance in hundred for the William and

number of points by which Georgetown
will win. William and Mary was barely
able to score first down against Nir-
sinia, and it is not to he supposed that
the Virginia team defense is any strong
er than IL GeorgetOwn's
Gallaudet should beat the Baltimore
City College eleven on the form shown so
far. The Kendall Greeners have a liGht

be effective against a team not too much
its superior in weight.
Western High plays the Woodberry
Forest School eleven tomorrow. The
local scholastic team should make good
showing against the Virginia aggregation
Westerns eleven will start the game
with the same lineup that which par
ticipated in the prep game.
The Western team has struck i'll luck
already in that two men who were de-
pended on to fill the regular positions on
the team have flunked. and will be lneli-
gible to play.
There is one mighty good thing about
the playing of White of Georgetown.
Although he is one of the strongest men
on the team, he says little either while
in the game or practcinE. Instead of
talking. he is there saving wood all the
time-a pleasing factor whenever found in
a foot bali player, and one that Sencr-
ally denotes the really valuable man.
Battiste the Callaudet captain, who
played left end in the first game with
Tech. has been shifted to left halfback.
He is good man both on the offensive
and defensive, although rather light.
With Reuter-. Hamilton and Van Dyne
in the hac<field, the Central High team
should make at least a good impression
against NJ. A. G.. The Central backiield
will be composed of men individually
heavier and faster than will the Aggies
1t is likely that the Farmers will be up
against a team that will be just as heavy
as themselves. even though it is High
School eleven.
The Farmers will not find it such very
easy matter winning from Central, al
though the greater age and experience OF
the college men will work greatly i'll their
favor.
About the only change that is likely TO
be made in the Georgetown lineup to-
morrow is that Magner will probably
start at right halfback and Costello will
go in at quarter.
As soon as his shoulder heals, Cam
pazZi will be given trial at quarter. and
if he shows much will be left there to
finish the season in the position.
