team closed its season last Friday
night with a defeat of the Baltimore
High School team in that city. The
Washington boys were at sea during
the first half due to nervousness and
being in a strange hall, but after a
strong talking to by Mr. David Hous-
ton, the NJ Street High School faculty
representative in charge, came back
hard in the second half and trimmed
the Baltimoreans bv the score of 10
to 10. Captain Jones, of NJ Street,
played star game. Johnson, of the
Monumental City quint, played well
for the home boys. Under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Calls, Mr.. Thomas and
Mr.. Giles the game has taken a de-
cided boost this winter.
M Street Highs team has had one
of the best seasons since the cham
pionship team of 'o7-'o8. The team
lost one game to Howard Academv
early in the season, but this game was
forfeited by the Academy, due to play
ing an ineligible player. Ali other
games were taken over by the NJ

ATHLETIC NOTES.

The first cross country run for col
ored scholastic athletes to be held
under the auspices of the Inter-Scho-
iastic Athletic Association, will take

there leave for the start of the race
of three miles to finish at Armstrong.
The event will be open to students

and it is undoubtedly the best high
school team in the East. Jones, cap
tain of the quint, is a hard, skillful
player, and it is largely due to his eff
forts at guard that the team did so
well. His rough tactics at the begin
ming of the season caused the team a
victory by his absence when the How
ard Academy game was played, and
his team lost by one point, but his
self control and sportsmanship has
greatly improved, which helps the
prospects of the team next year.
Hayes and Mutt will be lost at gradua-
ton, and their places will be hard to
fill. Both were good players and good
sportsmen Moody at times was a
bright star, and will be a big support
next season. Shipley has not done so
we'll as in other seasons, due to lack
of practice time, but should prove
good college material, as this is his
last at the high school game. Greene
and Hughes developed this season
and are expected to be regulars next
season.
The school team has done remarka-
bly, we'll when all is told, and their
good sportsmanship reflected much
credit upon the institution.

The sixth annual track and field
games of the Inter Scholastic Athletic
Association is scheduled to take place
on the 27th of May in this city. This
meet is the largest of the few meets
held anywhere for colored athletes,
ar has been annually held on the
campus of Howard University on
Decoration Day since 1906, but owing
to the goth falling on Tuesday, it was
thought wise for the benefit of visit
ing athletes to hold the meet on the
Saturday preceding. Not only does
the lnter-Scholasti Athletic Associa-
ton provide for scholastic competi-
ton, but open events are featured for
the reason that no other meet in this
section provides for competition
among colored athletes.
The very successful indoor meet
held at Convention Hall this Winter
has provoked a wider interest in the
track and field sports, which will
doubtless mean a greater outdoor
meet. Upon request of the board of
directors of the Public Schools Athletic
League, four elementary school races
are included in the program of events
That these events will be hotly con-
tested 1t is safe to assume. So MANY
superior runners were disqualified at
the indoor meet due to technical vio-
lations of the rules, which were strict
ly enforced, that when these unfortu-
nate athletes compete again with the
-
in store
Scholastic athletes IN nearby States
are making preparations to enter the
events. An interesting feature of the
meet this Winter was the precision
with which entries came in and were
closed. The association intends in
the future at all times to close entry
lists at stated times, and to start
events when scheduled.
The events planned for the 27th
are as follows:

They Tarred School Teacher.

LINCOLN CENTER, Kan, Nov. 20.-
How the Sandy Bend star party" met
at the mill of E. J. Clark. one OF the
wealthiest citizens of the community,
and arranged the details of the plot
to tar Miss Mary Chamberlain, was
told on the witness stand by Chester
Anderson, one OF the "party" at the
beginning of the trial today.
The three men on trial, Anderson
testified, are not members of the band
who actually "spread the tar" as
they came to the rendezvous on foot
and were unable to keep up with the
others, who rode motor cycles.
County Attorney McCsnless made
the opening statement for the prosecu.
tion, narr ating the history of the case.
''They held up the buggy at the
point of pistols" McCanless declared.
"They took the young woman from the
buggy and threw her on the ground.
They tore off her clothes, while one
poured rubber tar on her naked body.
All of the men wore Masks"

Tariff Board Deadlocked.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The tariff
board, it is said, will recommend
specific duties on wool and cotton.
The bills prepared by the present ways
and means committee provided ad
valorem duties. Chairman Under
wood denounced specific duties as un-
duly favorable to protected interests.
The tariff board ia deadlocked in
the last days of it's consider alton of
the wool and wooden schedule, over the
margin between the duties on raw and
manufactured wool. The Underwood
bill provided tor ON ad valorem duty
of 20 per cent on raw wool. Mr.. Taft
vetoed the Underwood bill; because,
he said, he did not know whether the
duties were low or high.
"What duty Mr.. Taft will advise is
the question:" said Representatives
Brantley OF the ways and means COM
mittee today. "ae must drop below
44.3l, the Payne-Aldrich duty"

opposed To Free Sugar.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Beet sugar
m manufacturers, who have been meeting
in Chicago for the last few days,
closed their session today, after form.
ulating plans to oppose the pro-
paganda in the interests of free sugar,
said to be carried on by the cane
sugar manufacturers and the New
York importing interests.
The beet sugar men claim they pro-
duce annually 100000 tons of sugar
and draw raw material from 16 states,
extending from Ohio to California,
and pay the American farmer $40, ,000,'
600 annually therefor.
They contend that by putting raw
sugar on the free list the domestic in
dustry would be destroyed and com.
petition eliminated, and therefore the
importers and refiners would have a
complete monopoly.

Slow Work Getting Jury.

Los ANGELES, Nov. 18.-The sixth
court week of the Mcnamara trial
closed today with five sworn jurors
and one Professionally accepted. The
prediction of Attorney Clarence s.
Darrow, chief of counsel for J ames b.
Mcnamara, that Jan. l. 1912, would
see q jury to try his client for the al
legged murder of Charles j. Haggerty,
one of 81 victims of the Los Angeles
Times explosion aud fire year ago,
seemed to be optimistic, in view of the
feet that IA jurors finally will be
sworn, two acting as supply jurors in
case membe of the original panel
should become incapacitated. Never.
theless, it is hoped that the early
weeks in anuary will see q complete
