FOOT BALL AS CRIME-KILLER.
Judge, Formerly Known as Willie,
Formed Character on Gridiron.

The things l learned on the foot ball
field are the ones that fitted me for
life. The fact that l went to college
for two reasons. to soak up knowledge
and to learn foot ball, was the greatest
point in my preparatory life"
That's the way Willie Heston, former
quarterback at Michigan University,
and twice selected on the mythical all
American eleven. has the thing sized
up. Willie is a police court justice now
in Detroit, and he isn't known as Willie
any more He's Police Justice William
NJ. Heston and he puts it over.
One of the ambitions of Judge Hes
toms life was to rid himself of the name
Willie In school and afterward he did
his best to shake it, but to no avail.
Finally, he got himself elected judge
and they had to quit calling him Willie.
Heston declared that if every youth
were given the chance he had to learn
foot ball--to get the spirit OF fair com
petition in sports drilled into MS sys-
tem-there would be little need for
police courts.
IT know what it has taught me-" he
said. IT believe it would do as much
for any other man. When / see poor,
weak, spineless unfortunates come be-
fore me for one crime or another, the
wish that he could have seen service
under Yost or Keene Fitzpatrick hits
me right between the eyes. If he could
have had that training he wouldn't be
living the wrong kind of life"

Secretary Abe Langley has issued the Off
cial count of the number of clubs entered

the American Bowling Congress. which
opens here March 5. The figures show
that us five-man teams will compete this
year. the list falling behind Toledo's rec
ord by IL teams. but showing a heavier
entry from outside cities, a new record
being established in that respect. Grard
Rapids entered 156 tives, Chicago running
a good second with 124 quintets the
greatest list that ever entered a bowling
meet from any town except the one hold
iEg tha meet. Detroit also showed wei
with rs teams. Other leading entries ars
Milwaukee, 80; Cleveland. so; Toledo,

Acosta from Cuba. Manager Griffith has
not heard from the latter. who is re-
ported to be fighting with the rebels in
ruba under the command of his IA
ther. Col. Ealdomero- Acosta, but Griff
SAYS he expects the chunky little out
fielder to be on hand.
The fact that the advance squad.
which includes the pitchers and catch
ers. and which is scheduled to leave
Washington February 2S,- will take
train departing at 3 pm, whereas the
second consignment will pull out at Z
o'clock in the evening. is accounted for
by the fact that the first batch will
travel via the S,eaboard Air Line, while
the others will make the trip over the
Southern railway, it being Manager
Grifith's policy to divide the business
he gives the va rious railroads wherever
this is possible.
There will be no change in the color
ing or design of the uniforms worn by
the Nationals this year, those used last
season having proved satisfactory from
every point of view. The new suits for
the men have not been ordered as yet.
but Griff today said he would attend to
this detail within Il few days. The or
der for the habilimentS for the local
players will be filled, as usual, by the
Spalding Company. under the direction
of Manager Charlie King.

circuit again are pulling their annual
stunt of crediting Clark Griffith with the
prediction that the Washington team
will win the pennart this year. AS \
matter of fact, Griffith has not COM
mitted himself in this regard, and did
not last year. although he generally
was reported as making ante-season pen
nant claims for his outfit.
Il am not predicting n pennant for
Washington this year." Griff said today.
Base ball is entirely too uncertain a
proposition for a man in it to thrive as
a prognosticator. ] have said the Wash
ington team will give a good account of
itself. and that we expected to get off
to a flying start. but I haven't claimed
the flag. All I've got to say about the
pennant race is this: Any club that ticks
my team this year will know 1T has
been in a battle. We expect to be IN
the hunt all the way
