The Unexpected Happened.

One of too most remarkable things in
connection with the death of J. Pierpont
Morgan, the king of finance and the So
called "Wizzard Of Wall Street. is that
instead of stocks on the New York ex-
change going down by leaps and bounds
as has been the case when other men
died who were Connected with the street
or largely interested in any particular
stock, the market reoounded and nearly
every stock showed an improvement
from one to two or three points, Truly
it is the unexpected that happens in
Wall street. The reason for the advance
is stated to be that somewhat protract-
ed illness of the great financier had pre-
pared the street for the worst and that
his death had been discounted.
The market has had a long period Of
depression because of his illness and
other causes, real or imaginary, and in
the natural course of the ups and downs
in quotations it was time for reaction
A great many people speculate in stocks,
use charts and other devices which they
think enable them to get on the winning
side but the man who believes he knows
anything about it even after great study,
is fooling himself and will lose his nor
ey. if he always puts it on the so-called
good things" Mr.. Morgan, who said
in his examination before the Puio Mon
ey Trust investigation Committee, that
he never sold stock short in his life,
that is to say stocks that he didn't have,
made millions in the stock exchange,
but we all can't be Morgans and it is
foolish for most of us TO try.

And tell it to the neighborhood.

ATHLETIC BOOM
in GUATEMALA
Envoy from Central America
Here to Study Train
ing Methods.

An idea of the world wide and growing
interest in athletics in general may be
sained from the following; From san
Francisco comes word that President
Cabrera has sent a special representative
to that city in the person, OF Q. T. De
Villepion, bearing the title OF Honorary
Athletic Commissioner" De Villepion Is
at present receiving the advice OF promi-
nent athletic authorities and sportsmen
of San Francisco relative to holding
monster athletic games at intervals in
the Central American republics.
1t is the intention of President Cabrera
to see that these contests are conducted
on the same lines as the world famous
Olympic games, and a stadium viii be
erected in Guatamala City as the first
step In that direction.
The scheme Of the Guatamalan Presi-
dent is In line with his modern and pro-
gressive ideas of government which he is
putting into practice. After making
changes in his own government the chief
executive conceived the idea that COM
mon athletic interests between the re-
publics Of Central America would result
in a closer bond socially and politically.
De Villepion, who Is a writer Of consid-
cradle note and a student Of political
science. was selected as the man most
fitted to make preparations and seek
advice. He intends visiting several large
cities in the United States before return
ing home, possibly coming as far as New
York. The games will be closed to Gen.
trail Americans.

GALLAUDET FIVE
DEFEATED, 1911.
George Washington Basket
ball Quint Wins Game from
Kendall Greeners.
HURLEY PLAYS WELL
Teamwork Features Largely in Con-
test, Hatehetites Showing Great
Reversal of Form.
HURLEY PLAYS WELL
BY FRANK CoLLEY.

The George Washington University
form last night when it took the fast
quint representing Gallaudet College into
camp at the National Guard gymnasium,
3S to II. While it was a reversal of form
on the part of the George Washington
lads the Kendall Greeners did not make
half the showing they have made in the
preceding games. Gallaudet's guards
could not stop the forwards Of the OPP
posing team, and the passing by Coach
Schlosser's tribe was of the best. Hur-
ley, at guard for the winners, showed
rare form in caging the ball, sending 1t
through the meshes four times. He
played a regular Hurley game.
1t seemed that luck broke the wrong
way for Gallaudet. Numerous times
Rockwell made sensational tosses for the
basket, only to have the ball roll around
the rim and come out. In this matter
the Hatchities were fortunate, Almon and
Noonan sending the ball into the basket
on several such shots as these Slow
dribbling and inability TO handle the ball
cleanly was largely responsible for the
downfall of the Kendall Green lads
At the outset it looked as though
George Washington was due for a battle,
plainly seen that the Gallaudet boys
we're unable to stop the attack Team
work for the winners brought the bali
down to within easy striking distance OF
the goal and from there either one OF
the Hatchetites' forwards sent il through
the basket Only seven points could be
rung up in the first half by Gallaudst
to the twenty-five made by the winners.
Substitutions by both teams in the Sec
ond period were plentiful and this halt
proved to be better by far than the first
chapter. Both quints played hard
basketball and had the Kendall Green
team put up the game they did in this
half the score would have been closer,
but the final decision would have been
the same-GeOrge Washington quint the
victors.
The Gallaudet boys, while beaten by a
decisive score, ] we no kick coming. The
game was run on in great shape and the
better team won.
Rockwell played a great game and it
was largely due to his individual ef-
forts that the George Washington score
was not larger. Lineup and summary:
