Top, Y to Is.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Annapolis. Nd, Jan. 6.-By the over
whelming score OF - TO Is. the Midship-
men defeated Catholic University Of
at basketball here to-day.
The visitors were hopelessly outclassed
from start to finish. The advantage in
point of weight favored the sailor lads
by a considerable margin, but the Wash
ingtonians put much spirit into their play.
However they were powerless to cope
with the fast attack led by the Middies,
nor did they display a degree of team
work that would stand n comparison
with that OF the local quintet.
The Middies hit It up at a lively clip
at the outset. and before the first half
was over they had rolled up a score of
IS to S. And the second half was almost
a repetition OF the first, the locals regis
tering "a points to the varsity lads :.
All Of the MiGdies aided materially in
the scoring though McReavy. who played
a star game at center. led with field
goals, while Wenzell. the captain. got S
field goals, and one from the foul line.
Mcdonnell was the star OF the Washing
ton aggregation. scoring II Of the Is points
credited to HIS team. Summary:

SEABORN NRIGHT
TO HELP WILSON
Georgia Orator Declares Dem.
ocratiC Candidate Is Man
After His Own Heart.

Seaborn Wright the famous orator
and statesman from FLOYD county, will
aggressively and actively support
Woodrow Wilson for the presidency OF
the United States
A month or so ago it was announced
that Mr. Wright would give his support
to Theodore Roosevelt, and that he pro
posed to take the stump for him and
help land Georgia under the Rough
Riders banner.
That was before the two big parties
had made their nominations, however,
and AT the time MIR. Wright was under
the impression that the Republicans
and that the Democrats would nomi-
nate Harmon or some other conserva
tive.
In those circumstances. Mr. Wright
had determined TO work for Roosevelt.
Wilson Suits Wright.
When the Democrats got together in
Baltimore and nomianted Woodrow
Wilson, they did thing that suited Mr..
Wright perfectly
The Georgia orator and prohibition
leader has found Wilson to be a man
exactly after mis- heart Mir. Wright
himself is a radical, and believes in the
things that Wilson believes in. He
shares the Wilson views on both po-
rtical and moral issues. He admires
Wilson. indeed, even more than he ad-
mires Roosevelt And, then. too by
supporting Wilson, he will preserve his
party regularity.
1t is likely that MT Wright, in the
course of the presidential campaign
win make several speeches in Georgia
for the New Jersey governor.

Thirty Miles of Pave
Ordered Untouched.

That not one foot OF the 80 miles
Of sidewalk pavement authorized by
council this year has been laid was the
startling condition barred today The
reason is that the construction depart
ment has not done the necessary grad
ing for the paving contractors to be
gin work.
The situation is made even worse by
the fact that eight miles of curbing has
been laid on the streets designated for
paving. But without the sidewalk
paving every rain washes a great part
Of the paving down.
The construction department has laid
21.2 miles Of curbing and sidewalks
But all of the sidewalk paving was
work passed up by council last year
Commenting on the condition before
the streets committee, John $. owens.
Atlanta capitalist who has = part Of
the street paving contract, said
There Is no system by which this
work is taken up. The city code spec
lies that it shall be done in the order
authorized by council This is not
done Neither contractors nor proper
" owners know when a street provided
for pavement will be paved
y offer this suggestion When a
street is started, lay the curb, grade it
and pave it before taking up another
piece Of work. The grading crews pump
from one point to another now whether
the work is finished or not
