Y. M. c. A. Management Did
Not Look at Contract for
Game with Navy Quint.
College Teams Going Well.

Unfortunately for the Y. N. c. A. play
ers and for the record of the basketball
team that the game with the Annapolis
Midshipmen had to be balled up in the
way that it was. Due only to the neg
lectfulness Of the management Is the only
reason that the ''Y'' players did not ap-
pear for their game last Saturday at
Annapolis.
Instead OF going to Annapolis the '"Y''
players took a trip to Lynchburg, Va,
and met defeat at the hands OF the local
Y. NJ. c. A. quint OF that town. While
1t was not a defeat to be sad or down.
cast about. 1t was a defeat just the same,
and would IL not have been better to
have been defeated by the Navy instead
of the Lynchburg team?
4 game had been arranged with the
Navy for January ., and one with the
LynchburE team for the same date. In
applying for a game with the Navy the
management OF the "Y' team asked for
the 18TH but when he received contract
for a game with the Middies he did not
take the trouble TO look at the date Of
the game. and therefore the ''Y'' players
have only their manager to blame for
not playing the Naval Academy team IN
stead Of the virginia auint.
A chance to play the Navy comes but
once in a lifetime to an association team,
and the ''Y'' players are today kicking
themselves for not looking into the mat
ter when they received a contract calling
for the game.
The George Washington basketball
team, while they can't boast of such good
players. have the old fight in them, and
that accounts for the great showing
they have been making this season

sleeping space in the halls of the hotels
and boarding houses. and many went
to a camp settlement about a mile
north of the Beach.

WAR ON WASH RAG
Dangers to Health Pointed Out by Off.
Gals In Campaign Against

War has been declared on the wash

cording to an official announcement made
yesterday. Oficials of the service point
out the success of the campaign against
the common towel, and state that a
similar fat awaits the "wash-reg." In
empha sizing the danger Of the wash
rag" to health, the announcement reads:
Hotels and public hostelries have re-
cognized the danger for some time and
have supplied their guests with steriliz-
ed wash cloths in individual sealed pack
cts. The damp. sour smelling wash
rag still exists. however. in many private
bathroom. Imperfectly washed out after
use, frequently not wrung out at all. it
is hung over rack or radiator near an
open window. there to collect dust and
dirt.
Frequently the same wash-rag Is used
by the entire family. thus affording an
easy transference of mouth secretions: In
many households each individual has
his wash-cloth and towel, but these hang
so close to each other that there is
ready exchange of. bacteria.
Each individual should have his own
wash-cloth. 1t should be thoroughly
washed with hot water after use. It
should then be wrung as near dry as pos
sible, and If possible hung In the sun
to dry 1t should not come in contact
with other wash-cloths.

These two actions go hand in hand in

from the service
The charges were: First, of falling. on

The prosecution alleged that. after
Brown had seen the schooner fired on by
a German submarine and sunk. he did
not hasten TO the spot to engage the sub
marine, but went for a short distance at
slow speed and then, without waiting to
pick up the crew or the schooner. hur-
ried toward land and informed the signal

$4,000 Hangs on Dying Mans
Smile In Contest on Will
Sister of Lawyer Who Died at Mount Washington Md De-
clares Facial Expression Was Not Suf-
Gent Approval of Document.

New York, Aug. 2.-When Thomas
Meagher Durkin. New York lawyer
smiled, just before he died at Mount
Washington. Nd. where he was visit
ing his wife's relatives, on March %.
1912, he expressed his approval Of the
will which bequeathed about $4,000 to
his wife, Mrs. Mary F. Durkin. who is
now a resident of Mount Washington.
Surrogate Cohalan has so decided.
but the lawyers sister. Mrs. Mary
Town, Of Little Falls, n. Y, who re-
ceived only $1,000 under the will. has
started a suit in the Supreme Court to
set aside the decree of Surrogate Co.
halan in admitting the instrument to
probate. Mrs. Town asserts that the
will was improperly executed.
The case is now on file with Su-
preme Court Justice Weeks. who is
considering demurrer entered by
Herbert McKennis, attorney for Mrs.
Durkin, who declares that Mrs. Town
has no cause of action because of the
repeal of a section Of the code upon
which she depends as a basis for the
action.
Written from Torn Will.
The record of the case shows that
Mr.. Durkin was suffering from
Brights disease when he visited his
wife's family and was suddenly taken
i'll. He called in a friend, DR.. Charles
Beetem. and told the physician that he
wished to have his wife named as exec
utrix in a last will
Following instructions Of the lawyer,
Dr. Beetem found torn will. made out
in 1909, in a satchel This former will
had been .orn in two. accidentally. by
the lawyer in tearing up some miscel-
laneous papers, and the Instruments
provisions were similar to those of the
new will. except that Mrs. Durkin was
named as executrix in the later docu-
ment.
The physician then followed the torn
will in drawing up the later one. He
called two neighbors as witnesses. and
standing beside the sinking lawyers
bed. said:
He is not strong enough to write his
