Here is thing that ought to be

We know some people who allow
their barns and cutbuildings to be
covered with circus posters in return
for two or three tickets to the show.
Let's pant our outbuildings and fen

INDEPENDENT BASEBALL

The sandlot game, better known
to the Sabbath fans who patronize
the games despite the pressure of the
war. had a prosperous season. The
teams were slow in getting started
because so many OF the athletics an
swered the first call of colors, but
along in the month of June twelve
good organized teams were in the
battle for the title in this vicinity.
Like the season of 1916 the approach
of fall found four teams classed
among the best in this vicinity. and
a series for the title was played. These
teams were the Cardinal Athletic
Club OF Alexandria, Rex Athletic Club
and Athletics of Washington, and the
Alexandria Country Athletic Associa-
tion of Clarendon. Va. After a hotly
fought series the Clarendon team
were again awarded the champion
ship.
The individual WORK Of Won Her
bules, Bolen and Watt helped the
team into the title role, while Braund
and Fitzgerald, Of the Rex; Mccarthy,
of the Athletics. and Macdonald. of
the Cardinals. proved to be the best
players on the other clubs. The Wash
ington. Baltimore and Annapolis Rail-
road team. which figured in the 1915
championship, failed to meet any
local clubs

GIRLS BASKETBALL.

There was a large number of girls
basketball teams that were organized
and played throughout the entire sea-
son. The girls game has developed in
the District just as rapidly as the
boys. George Washington University
and Gallaudet Cillege represented the
colleges. while very strong teams rep
resented the following preparatory
schools: Bristol, Holton Arms. Cum
ston. Madeira. Colonial. Eastman
Friends. Sorority. Ingram and ]. o.
Wilson Normal. The George Washing
ton University team PLAYED eighteen
games, winning twelve and losing six
Seven teams of collegiate and five of
preparatory rank We're PLAYED. One
ten-day trip was taken hy the G. w.
U. girls when they went as far as Bos-
ton, Mass, to play Radcliffe College
and the Sargent School for Physical
Education at Cambridge. ON their re-
turn they played the Temple Univer-
sity girls and SwarthmOre College at
Philadelphia A wonderful record
was made by Miss Jack Smith, of the
Bristol School, in a championship
game against the Gunston School, The
Gunston team was defeated, 30 TO q,
Miss Smith scoring all the points for
Bristol. Miss Smith had twenty-five
chances for goals from the field. sue
cessfully scoring eighteen of them.
This coming season it is expected that
every college. preparatory and high
school will have representative teams.

LEAGUE BASKETBALL.

The Terminal Railroad Y. NJ. c.
4. League. consisting OF four teams.
was probably>as strong as any in
the city. 4 schedule of 81 games
was played and the Baltimore
and Ohio team went through the
entire season without defeat
having been registered against
them. Southern Railway. the run
ner-up. landed just twice as many
games as tbe Pennsylvania Rail-
road and the WashinTton Terminal
Shops teams. In playing games
with teams from other organiza-
tions the league was represented
by the following players: bailey.
Boyd and O'Connor. forwards: 4:
Spencer. center; Platz, Hutterly
and DeEnan. guards.
The Phi Mu Sigma Fraternity
League finished its second season
with even more success than in
their first year. Six chapters, or
Eanized in that many different Sun
day Schools, composed the league.
Pi Chapter only lost one game dur
ing the entire season. and that TO
Gamma Sigma in their last contest.
Gamma Sigma was a very close
ed along behind,
The Sunday school League was
divided into two sections. Senior
and Junior. composed Of four teams
in each section. Peck Chapel won
the senior section fo- the third
consecutive time. while Epiphany
won the Junior section. The laEue
on the whole was just as strong,
il not stronger, than the year pre-
ceding and had in IL many brilliant
performers. The junior section was
created so that those of less ex-
perience and younger age might
have a chance TO get into active
competition. The idea worked out
very successfully and some very
good material was developed. In
the senior league an all-star team
was selected as follows: Phelps, Mt.
Pleasant. and Scott. Peck Chapel,
forwards; BrOwnley. Peck, center:
Hills, Mt. Pleasant. and Dixon.
Peck, guards. The following were
selected from fhe junior league:
Dodge, Epiphany, and Patrick. Pet

COLLEGIATE BASEBALL.

The four colleges in this vicinity
had elaborate schedules for the past
season, but on account of the war
preparations had to curtail most OF
them. Catholic University played about
half Of its games and won tho ma
jority. Its big game Of the year, that
with Holy Gross, was won after a
hard fight in the eleventh inning by a
3-to-2 count.
Georgetown had several games
scheduled with the big five, but had to
cancel them and only played a few
games. Its big success of the year
was the defeat of its ancient rival,
Lehigh. 1t beat Lehigh after a hard
struggle in a 6-to-5 battle
Maryland State and Gallaudet had
their plans all torn to pieces and
Maryland State was defeated by Cal
laudet in its one contest, 5 to l. Gal

SCHOLASTIC FOOTBALL

To Central goes the title Of the High
School football season as IL had a
record breaking eleven. 1t went
with only nine points scored against
them Its goal line was not crossed
during the high school series.
In the Central-Business game the
largest score Of the season was hung
up and a new mark set for scholastic
football which will stand for a long
time. During the 10 minutes of play
Central scored 40 points. while its
opponents were never within the dan
ger zone. This 80 points means more
than a touchdown a minute, to come
down to actual figures, and any team
has to be on its toes all the time to
run up such high marks.
Technical had a good eleven, but It
was no match for the veteran team
from the Mt. Pleasant institution, and
even this heavy team could not cross
the Blue and White goal line in one
of the hardest contested trays Of the
series. Tech had to ttake second hon.
ors. 'as 1t lost but one game and that
to the winners.
Episcopal is the best of the local
prep schools, as it defeated Army and
Navy. who in turn beat Georgetown
Props who were defeated by Central
during the season.

INDEPENDENT FOOT
BALL.

But one, ranking teams, in indepen-
dent circles was organized last fall,
this being the champion Mohawk Ath-
letic Club eleven which again won the
title. Although there was a lack of
hrst-class local Independent teams to
face the Indians the Mohawks found
plenty Of competition in the ranks of
the ''Sammies" and blue Jackets
stationed in this vicinity, and the
fans who witnessed these games were
treated to some of the best football
in the history Of the sport.
After setting back all its opponents
the Mohawks ran into a snag when
they took on the Twelfth Coast Artil-
lery eleven, who played them a 90 tie.
This game was followed by a 90 tie
with the engineers from Washington
Barracks. but because Of a dispute
over the title the Indians and the Ar
tillery played or their game with the
Mohawks coming out on the long end
of a 10 to o count.
As the Engineers were ordered
somewhere over there. the chance Of
settling the dispute was not forth
coming. but, owing to the great rec
ord established by the Clubmen they
were granted the honoys in indepen-
dent ranks.
The 14o-pound title Is still unsettled,
as the eleven from the Westover Ath-
letic Club, Truxton Athletic Club and
the Park Club finished the season with
a three-cornered tie. Although a se-
ries was arranged to play OF this tie
II was never completed, as the first
game resulted in another draw be-
tween the Truxtons and westovers,
while bad weather interfered with the
other games.
The Washington herald., 1917-12-30
BOXING.

The poor, good-natured boxing fans
of the District were handed a quartet
of badly matched bouts during the
year. The first was staged on New
Years Day at the Ardmore arena,
when 1000 fans jouTned over the cleo
trio road to witness Andy Cortez, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, waltz fifteen rounds
with the local veteran Tommy Lowe.
On top of this farce a few weeks
later Fay Kaizer. the Cumberland
miner, forced Mike Uraine. the fight
ing policeman. to take a good beating.
This was enough for the fan for a
while, but when the winter months
dawned Sam Langford, the Boston
tar baby, was booked with Andrew
johnson, and Johnson did not help to
boost the game here in any way, as
he flopped in the first round.
The recent Kid Sheeler-Jeff Smith
affair has been quite enough for local
fandom and 1t is a sure bet that it
will take a man with iron-clad nerve
and he must be glutton for punish
ment to attempt to open the doors Of
the Ardmore arena again.
The bright light on the boxing
world of, 1917 will do doubt startle
the boxing fighting fans in a few
days when a bill will be introduced
to Congress to legalize boxing in the
District, which has a good chance OF
passing.
