Great Problem is Faced BY Girl
Workers in Cities
EXPENSES GROWING
Almost Beyond Work When She Be-
gan Taking Tan!ac, Which Soon
ReSOred Her

There is no bigger problem than
that which the woman worker has to
meet. With rent, clothing, food, fuel
all going higher and higher, her
worries are greater than ever.
Though weaker and more liable to
illness than men, these women must
be at their best, whether they are in
oiiice, store, factory or home. They
must be bright confident, ambitious
or fail.
The weak, nervous, run down wo-
man has very little chance, and this
was realized by Josephine Dougherty.
Miss Dougherty is one of the army
of women workers, competent quick
witted saleswoman in New York
department store which has $4,000
customers daily. Her home is at 436
East 13Sth st.

Mother! Your child isn't naturally

it never fails to effect good "inside"

league are looking up. a meeting

Frank Fahey. former Catholic Uni

Job with the Athletics.
The clan of Mack will be the Red

JACK CURLEY SAYS JESS
CAN WHIP FRED FULTON

Although Jack Curley. the man who
made it possible for Jess willard to
win the title from Jack Johnson. no
longer has any reason to boost the
champion, he makes no secret Of the
fact that he believes willard will
have an easy time disposing OF Fred
Fulton. Curley knows the traits OF
both men very well, and he is con-
vinced that Fulton will not be able
to maintain his morale when he en-
tcrs the ring with the champion.
Curley also ridicules the story that
Fulton has sent out broadcast to the
effect that he once knocked willard
down during an exhibition bout with
big gloves. Curley says that Willard
merely lost his balance for moment
and stumbled against the ropes, and
that he did not go down at all. In
fact, nothing was thought OF the In
cident at the time II happened, but
later Fulton's manager elaborated
upon it. and it has grown with fire.
Quent telling.
Curley is by no means fulsome In
his praise OF willard. and he does
not attempt to say that the latter is
invincible, but he is sure that Fulton
cannot take his measure.

CENTRAL COUNTING
ON REDS SCHAFER
TO LAND HONORS

Central High School is pinning its
baseball championship hopes on
Ernest schafer, known to all Central.
its as Reds" Schafer.
The Central tosser Is a port slider,
and ranks with the best .hurlers in
scholastic ranks In this section. Scha-
fer lost a hard luck game the other
day against the Army and Navy Props
when he went in with the bases load
ed and tried to stop the Prep lads.
Baker caught one on the end OF his
bat and put the Props in the lead.
That game Is about the only loss
that can be credited to Schafer in two
years. IL II can really be called a loss.
So far this season Schafer has pitch
ed really great ball for the Central
lads.
In his opening game he held the
Georgetown Props to two hits anu
famed fifteen batters. On Friday he
went In against Gallaudet College in
a practice game and held the Kendall
Greeners to a single hit In another
game Schafer shut out the Alexandria
High School lads with one hit and
famed ten.
Central certainly possesses a first
class hurler in the port-sided finger.
II he is able to make the high school
lads obey the way he has been doing
with the other schools and colleges
Central might just as well count the
title won. for Schafer is by all odds
the best Finger in scholastic ranks at
present.

For the first time in the history OF
athletics in the schools here, all hve
high schools have athletic directors
whose work is confined strictly to
athletics. Formerly the schools were
coached by many men in the diff
ferent branches.
Lines OF competition in sports have
been extended TO tennis and swim
ming In addition to football, track,
basketball, and baseball. The schools
also compete in rife shooting. The
new men who have recently come
into the high schools hate been un-
usually keen for track work and
have arranged for a number OF dual
meets this year in addition TO the
freshman, interscholastic, and cham
pionship affair.
1t is expected that freshman bas-
ketbalI will be the rule next winter.
as the little fellows provide deal
of good sport and just as good basket
ball as their older brothers.
Over at Eastern, Coach L. H. Bat
tersby has provided for an extensive
program. Eastern's new high school
will be the very last word in gym
nasium, running facilities. pool, and
the other vitality necessary things for
perfection in play and athletic &C
tivIties. The Eastern man has prac-
tically every boy in school working
out in track.
Coach William Apple, OF Tech, has
met with a generous response from
the boys at the school. Tech ap-
pears to have wakened up with
more pep than IT has had for years,
and gives promise OF making a lot
out OF the many boys at the school.
Central is calling out all the boys
available for the teams, and has al
ready won two titles this season.
With three more in prospect. the
Centralites look capable of defending
their honors under the able direction
OF c. A Aetzler in baseball, Bill
Foley in track, and Cecil Dowd in
tennis.
Western Is using every available
boy in one branch or the other in
sports. Something like I5 per cent
OF the boys in school are running
track. The remaining IS per cent
divides between tennis and swimming.
Business is unusually hard hit by
the loss Of so many boys for work.
The Business lads are leaving school
to take up positions almost every
day Coach Dorman promises TO
have as many boys in line for the
spring program as is possible, and
will probably offer the others first
class competition.

MIRACLE ON[YCAN
SAVE BALL GAMES
FOR TOMORROW

Unless a miracle happens there will
be no baseball here tomorrow. Wealth
er conditions have made outdoor work
impossible for the past few days.
Colleges and schools, eager to get
going after the holidays. have been
forced to remain idle practically the
entire week
The baseball season has been back
ward enough. Colleges have been
unable to make arrangements for out
of-town games save in one or two
instances. Catholic University was
able to stage two games and Gallau-
det two this year. State has had a
single engagement. and no less than
been cancelled.
Tomorrow Georgetown Is scheduled
to play Mt. ST. Joseph's. The team
was capitalized by Leo Hart. a former
Central High catcher. and has always
been able to give the HilltOppers a
good game. State and Gallaudet are
scheduled to meet at College Park.
Catholic University was casting
about for q game with q camp team.
Central was slated to go to Pooles-
willie, Md, to meet the Briarly Hall
team. 1t was expected that pitchers
battle between Reds" Schafer and
Lefty" Hersperger would ensue.
Eastern was down for a game with
the Bliss Electrical School for tomor-
row.
The Army and Navy Props wers
listed to play the Baltimore City
College, but yesterdays snow practi-
callyN put that game out OF prospect.
Those who expected to go to Annap-
oils to see the Navy play the Uni
versIty of Pennsylvania will prob
ably be disappointed. For baseball 1t
has been a poor week.

days opening of the campaign with
the reorganized Philadelphia Ath-

take any transforming trip with the
Dodgers or any other National League
team next spring. Though winning
seven out OF. thirteen games, and tie
ing one, Manager Barrow announces
that the trip did the team no good
and advises against another.
The Red Sox started In to wallop
