]RA5kE7BALL

The Gallaudet Reserves would make a
| fine match for the Y. NJ. C. A. Rovers.
| as both have a good team to practice
with.
Chris Mulladay is some worker. He
has already gotten three teams to enter
the Class B League, and some warm
games are expected.
What has become of the National
Guard League? 1t was a warm aggre-
cation last year. and was expected to
show results this season.
Shorty Hughes Is considered the best
basketball referee in the District. The
players seldom register a kick against
his decisions, and he always gives them
the way he sees them.
That Georgetown University quint will
make the followers open their eyes
before long when they get a little team
work down. They have some Of the best
players in the District with them.
Hall has returned to the Y. M. C.. A.,
and is putting up a fine game at for
ward for the Rovers. He has a good
eye for the basket, and is clever re-
ceiving passes.
The Foundry boys are getting in prac-
tice by playing with independent teams
around the District Gore. who played
guard last season, played center on the
Orioles Saturday night against the Rov-
ers. of the Y. NJ. c. A. He put up a
good game.
Catholic University basketball quint
will put up a great fight for the Dis
trict honorS this year. They have OBJ
tanned Mr.. Weber, of Villanova, for
coach, and he has turned out a cracker
jack team, as shown by it's victory over
Gallaudet Saturday afternoon.
All the Ingram quint needs is little
teamwork. and they will make the lead
ers of the league hustle to hold their
position. Coach Haas has some mighty
fine players on his team. Conover is a
good forward, and Country" Morris is
one Of the best guards in the District.
Thornton has been playing the best
game Of any of the Washington City
League players. He is one who can
shoot the ball from any position. No
matter il his back Is away from the
basket he will try for goal. He holds
the record for the highest number of
baskets in a league game. This record
was made Saturday night against the
Ingram Memorial quint.
Walk and Hoppe. the Y. NJ. c. A.
guards, gave a good exhibition Of passing
in the Ingram game Saturday night.
Walk, who is left-handed, has all the
forwards guessing as to where he is
going to pass the ball. while Hoppe has
that careless sort of way about him
that leads the forward to rush him.
but when they reach him the ball is not
to be found.

BY "LEN', COLLINS.

The individual plan of membership,
which in all probability will be adopted
at the next convention of the American
| Bowling Congress at st. Louis. seems to
met with the approval of local bowlers.
| and II would not be surprising to see the
Capital City delegates vote solidly for it
/ There are many good points to the
scheme, chief among which are the in
| creased revenue which the congress will
derive from a plan of this kind, and, Sec
ondly. bowler can become full-fledged
member without having to be affiliated
with any team.
Right here in Washington several cases
have come up where a bowler would only
have been too glad to enter the two-men
| and individual events. but was barred.
| owing to the fact that he failed to COM
ply with the rule which required him to
be a member Of an organized team which
was a member Of the city association.
Should the individual plan Of member
ship go through. II means that the Secre-
tary of the American Bowling Congress
will be expected to devote his entire
time to the duties of the Office. mas
much as it Is with view of placing the
secretary's salary at $500 annually that
part of the increased revenue will be
used.
Starting to-day, The Washington Her.
aid will publish each Monday Q complete
record Of the high sets rolled by the
tenpins and duckpins. The records for
last week show that the jolly Fat Men
turned in the best scores, with a set to-
tai Of 2,S14 pins. closely followed by the
CarrolP Institute aggregation, who piled
up 2,791. At the small pins the Palace
quint- got in an excellent set at the ex-
pense Of the Washington Stars. posting
them an average of H1. Strange as it
may seem. the second best set of the
week was rolled by the Washington Stars
against the Palace when it posted its
big total.
While the individual scores in tenpins
were not very exciting, nevertheless,
some fair averages were bowled. Horn

Lynchburg, Va, Jan. &-The appear
ances now are that the Virginia League
is in better shape to disband than At
any time since its reorganization in the
winter of 1905. and. unless the owners
some kind of q compromise, Virginia will
not have organized baseball this year.
The whole trouble has been brought
about by the refusal Of Norfolk to agree
to anything but an eight-team circuit.
II Danville and Roanoke are to be re-
tained. Last year the owners of the
Norfolk franchise began an agitation
against these two upstate clubs. claim
ing the travelling expenses to make the

turn. and In October. when the circuit
was reorganized with the old teams that
finished the season. Norfolk withdrew.
Ten days ago conference was held
in Norfolk looking to an adjustment. and
1t was agreed to recommend that Ports
mouth and Newport News be included
in the league, as an olive leaf to Nor
folk. Now, President Williams claims
these clubs have not abided by the agree
ment made then. and refuses to call .

taken the matter in hand and has asked

HELP FOR HONDURAS
UNITED STATES MAY ACT As A
PRoTEcToaATE.
COLLECT CUSTOMS RECEIPTS
In This Way Pay HonGuran Debts
Which Are Now Not Less Than
s1os.s47,2 ss.

New York-lt is said here in re-
liable quarters that the negotiations
by the commissioner appointed by
The Hcnduran government and New
York bankers for refundils the Hon
duran Indebtedness are still pending,
negotiations is loan to be secured
by the customs receipts OF Honduras
which are to be collected under =
treaty to be arranged with the Unit
ed States government.
The details of the plan have not
been given out. They would seem to
contemplate the appointment of an
American customs officers to Sc that
the customs receipts are collected
and dispensed in accordandce with
the proposed treaty. No confirmation
can be obtained, however. of reports
that this will amount to an Amer
lean prOtectOrate. although it is as
interpreted in some quarters.
The refurding of the Hcnduran ex.
ternal debt has been under discussion
for the last year or more. This was
originally contracted about forty
years ago and consists OF four loans
made between 1867 and 1870. The
principal amounts to c5.39S,570.
Payment of interest began to fall
off soon after the debts were incurred
and interest payments stopped entire
ly after 1872. The aggregate of un-
paid interest up to July. 1909, was
estimated at GI7,O71.940. This made
a total Indebtedness for principal and
unpaid interest of G22,470.5lO, or
about $l09.6i7 .2SS.
1t is the REIMBURSEMENT or refunding
of this Indebtedness which has Occu.
pied the attention of the Washington
authorities and financial interests
here for the last year or more. The
Indebtedness had been held in Lon.
don and was looked after by COM
mittee of bondholders in connection
with a committee OF the British bond
holders.
This council first put forward the
refunding project in August. 1909.
Their circular invited bOndholGers
to deposit their bonds with the com
ell against the issue of negotiable de
posit receipts with authority to de-
liver the deposit certificate to the
London banking house of J. S. Nor
gan & oC against the cash payment
of SIS for each G1O0 OF existing
bonds.
The state department at Washing
ton has explained that its interest in
the matter was due to the unsettled
and chaotic condition of HOnduran
finances and the desirability of hav-
ing these placed on stable basis &c
promote more stable conditions in
the country itself.
