somewhere in the neighborhood OF a
million dollars, are going to he distributed.
Keener still is the feeling upon the matter
which has been displayed by certain
survivors Of the disaster. One heard
yesterday the opinion expressed in many

of claimants. and the hope that claims
would be thoroughly sifted.
One survivor who had already collected

a CONSPICUOUS ENGLlsHMAN

In the political arena, Ireland and
Scotland long ago achieved tormost
places. 1t has been reserved for our
time to see a Welshman win his way
to the front rank. Mr.. David Lloyd
George is the man. He is not yet
prime minister. He may never be-
come prime minister; but he is chan
cellor of the exchequer, and If any
thing happened to Mr.. Asquith, he
would run Sir Edward Grey hard
race for the premiership.
No two men are more unlike. Eir
Edward Grey is an aristocrat from
Northumberland, cool, dispass1onate,
| in temperament a whig, by conviction
| a radical, and much more OF a country
gentleman that either. He is above
all things a man apart, reserved; free
both from the defects and from the
qualities of ordinary humanity. Lloyd
George is just the opposite. He is

humor and glowing enthusiasm, hail

Costello for Captain.

There is only one candidate for captain
of Georgetowns 1913 football eleven. He
IS Harry Costello. the wonderful little
quarterback, who has made gridiron his
tory at the Hilltop during the past three
years and when the time comes for the
election of a leader Costello should be
the unanimous choice for the pilot Of
Georgetown's eleven next fall.
Costello came unheralded to George
town three years ago. He had played on
a high school team in Meriden. Conn.
where Jack Barry. of the Athletics, first
got his baseball start, but was not re-
garded in his home town as much of a
star.
Congressman Thomas F. Reilly, of Mer-
iden, persuaded Costello to cast his lot
with Georgetown, and Harry had to fight
his way TO the front. During the early
part of the 1911 season Costello played
on the second team at the Hilltop, which
was coached by Charlie Cox, the former
Georgetown star. As the days passed
Harry began to show his class, and two
weeks before the Virginia game he was
claimed by the varsity. 1t will be re-

INTER COUNCIL
LEAGUE FORMED
Knights of Columbus Bowlers to
Roll for District Cham
pionship.

Many bowlers of the city will be inter-
ested to know of the formation of an
inter-council duckpin league under the
name of the knights Of Columbus Bowl
ing Association. The five councils of
the knights of Columbus OF the District
OF Columbia, viz: Washington, Keane.
Potomac, Spal6ng, and Carroll, will be
represented in this league. and the team
representing each council will be chosen
from the best material in its league, so
strong teams are assured. Washington
Council, however, has no league. but it
has many good bowers on its roster.
and the team representing it will at all
times have to be considered.
1t is believed that a keen, but pleasant,
rivalry will be created between the cOun-
ellis, and the attendance and enthusiasm
at the games should be great. All games
will be rolled at the Potomac Alleys,
Thirty-second and NJ Streets Northwest,
on Monday nights. but one team will
necessarily lie idle each week because
of an odd number of teams. A schedule
of games will he ready for distribution
in the near future.
The officers OF the new organization
are F. N. Mclaughlin. president Gar
Told; Joseph ]. Kennedy, vice president
CKeane); William +. Columbus, secretary
PotomaCp. and James J. ConrOy. treas
UTer Washington.
George A. Daddy will captain the Car
roll team; James J. ConrOy will do like
wise for Washington; William S. Nc
earthly will undertake the same task for
Spalding, and keane and Potomac cOun-
ellis will appoint leaders soon.
The opening night of the league saw
all teams but Washington in action. on
which occasion Carroll took all three
games from Keane, and Spalding treated
Potomac likewise. The defeated teams
claimed not to have struck their stride.
hence surprises may spring up in the
next sets. Come down and whoop It up
for the prides OF your council, fellow
bowlers
