IGIRL ATHLETES
WITH WAR RISK
Are Putting Up Great Game
On Basketball
Floor.

1t is not generally known that
the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
anee is supporting the largest
Girls Athletic Association in the
District The young ladies dis
closed their athletic propensities
when they were entered in tho
annual field day held in the Cen
trail High School Stadium in Sep
TENDER as representatives of the
team from the Treasury Depart
ment There were some eight or
nine events listed for girls and
the young ladies from War Risk
won every event except one.
The idea was conceived at that
tune to organize an athletic as
ISOLATION. Wilson Normal, Cen
trail, Eastern High and Epiph-
any gymnasiums are being used
by the girls, having regularly or
gained classes in gymnastics and
basketball.
League Is Formed.
a basketball league OF eight teams
mas been organized and there are
ABOUT lO girls playing this great
moor game. A team to REPRESENT
the bureau has been selected from
the best in the league and games
are being arranged with the numer-
GUS girls teams in and out of the
District.
There are numbered among the War
RISK girls quite a number OF the best
athletes In the country. They can
DO about anything in athletics that
boy can do. There are any num-
Der OF eN-colleGe and ex-high school
girls employed in the bureau and
they are going into athletics with a
vengeance.
Tigers on Top.
The basket ball league was started
Two weeks ago and just at present
the Tigers are leading. but they may
not be able to hold the top Of the
ladder. as there are two or three
other teams that are liable to take
their scalps at any time. Miss Chick
ering seems to be 4 NATURAL born
athlete. She shoots field and foul
goals just like a boy and is able
to drop them in at all angles and
! from any distance.
Miss Ryan. although short OF stat
ure. is also a good shot and is fast
as lightning on the court. The girls
basketball game Is entirely different
from the boys game. as the floor is
divided into three equal parts and
the forwards. centers and guards are
not allowed to transgress on any
other part of the court except that
allotted to them. The forwards are
| the only members of the team that
are allowed to shoot for the basket.

At the present time II is taxed,
after the first five days racing. to the
tune Of 5000 a day. this sum being
alleged to be but of minor import in

through the really superior spot
which obtains at that track.
There's no going behind the returns
which show that both Pimlico and
Laurel give purses which eclipse to
a very noticeable degree TO which

course, these are made possible be-
cause of the revenue derived from the

sum as $4,000 4 day. If need be.

The recent death of Richard A.

stanchest champions of racing that

be that another legislator as wei

lie will be uncovered in the debates,
which are certain to crop up when
the 'uplifters' again attempt their
annual smashing tactics.
The annual move to put an end to

would fain have an opportunity to

SUGAR FORECAST HIGH.

The sugar season of 1920 begins
with a forecast OF production OF
about 1,10S.OO0 short tons, made by
the Bureau OF crop estimates OF the
u. S. Department OF Agriculture, or
about 1880 tons more than the av-
.erage OF the preceding six years. dur
ing which time the total of the two
crops OF beet and cane sugar has
slightly exceeded 1000 900 tons every
year except in 1914-15.
The beet-sugar forecast for this
year is higher than the record crop
of 19l5-i6 by nearly $4,000 tons and
is above the average OF the preceding
six years by about 10000 tons, but
the cane-sugar crop OF this year Is
forecast at only 159.069 tons, compar-
ed with which is the average OF about
.254,5O0 tons of the previous six years.
During many years the cane-sugar
crop OF only 1915-16 has been lower
ahd of only 1928 has been nearly
As small. The low prospects of this
years crop, at the date of July /. are
due TO wet, cool spring and to
somewhat low acreage. In recent
years cane-sugar has usually been
about one-quarter OF the total OF
cane and beet sugar produced in con
tIguous United States. but this year
the prospect is that it will be only
about one-seYenth.
The area planted to sugar beets this
year is the largest one ON record |
and, It is estimated. reaches 10000 |
acres, or 2OO.7OO acres more than last |
year and $4,000 acres more than the
largest previous area in 1917. The
