dent of the United States as paymast er
| of the National Guard of the District of
Columbia, has perfected the reorganiZa-
| ton of AlmaS Temple Patrol The first
meeting and drill of the year was held
| at patrol headquarters, 1924 H street
northwest, Thursday evening. when
| Capt. Wilson outlined his plans. Poten-
tate Estes is on record as saying that, in
his opinion. there is no greater influence
| for good in the Mystic Shrine than the
| patrol, and that it is his intention to be
as close to the members of the patrol s
possible. With that end in view the po-
| tentate has invited Capt. Wilson and his
| drill team to Dartake of dinner at the
Commercial Club following the meeting
and drill Thursday evening of this week.
| The statement is made that there are
| some activities of the Shrine. in the near
| future in which the patrol is to play an
| important part.
| Potentate Estes has visited Lu Lu
Temple of Philadelphia and Acca Tenn
pie of Richmond recently. and has two

James H. Richards. jr.. is chairman, to
arrange for theater party for the
purpose of raising funds to enter the
entire twenty teams in the A. c. B. A.
tournament which is to be held in
Washington in April.
| The proprietor of the alleys where
the league games are rolled has ar
! ranged a large blackboard on which
the standing Of the several teams is
displayed. Any one interested in the
; position of any team may call at the
alleys and see at a glance just what
| the situation is.
several changes in the relative posi-
tons of the teams have occurred since
the last publication of standings
Lafayette, the winner of the pennant
last year, has been passed by Columbia
and Washington-Centen which are
now in first and second positions, re-
spectively. Sansbury is fourth. George
| Z. whiting fifth, National sixth. Osiris
seventh. Acacia eighth, Federal ninth.
and Mount Pleasant tenth. The other
ten teams rank. as follows: St Johns.
Lebanon, Naval. King Solomon East
Dawson. King David and Anacostia.
Many Of the teams are divided by such
small margins that their standing is con-
| stantly changing. Very likely some such
! changes will occur before the publication
of this list, but in the main it will be
| correct.
