DE NER| SIGNS MANY
STAR CAGE PLAYERS.
Myers Has Wonderful Pair. of
Guards in McWiIIiams
and Dreyfuss
STRETCH HARVEY AT CENTER

The De Neri basketball club. of the
Eastern League, will cut large swath
in the pennant race this season, judg-
ing by the 'caliber of the players signed
by Manager Myers. The promoter of
the Musical Fund quintet has strong
combination with, which to start the
season.
He is fortified with a pair of good
center men in Dehnert and Stretch
Harvey. He will make his firsts ap-
pearance at Germantown on Tuesday
night.
For the forward positions Mama
ger Myers SAYS he will display Johnny
Beckman, Kid Dark and Norman. This
is a classy trio of goal shooters and
one that promises to give the opposing
guards all kinds of worriment.
AT the start of the season, at least,
the guards will be Ally McWilliams
and I"c. Dreyfuss. This is about as
good Dackfeld as there is In the East
orn League. Ally McWilliams is sched
uled to play at Parkesburg, and perhaps
he will later in the season. but at
present he will appear in De Neri's
line up.

Inside stuff, uncertainty and mys

School football team and judging
from the air of secrecy assumed by
Phil Lewis, the Green and White
tutor, it takes a lot of deep and
serious thought to coach losing
scholastic team.
Two minutes before the game with
Central High, the Germantown line
up was still secret. Coach Lewis
said it was uncertain-that is, the
lineup. There was no uncertainty
about the caliber of the suburbanites
as. a team--not individually The
team lost. $40. The only thing
the veil of mystery and secrecy does
is to cast a shadow. Germantown,

eleven ran all over Germantown High
yesterday on Houston Field. The Lewis
defense stood up as well as papier
mache and his revised line up was worse
off than the unrevised. Crimson and
Gold tore down the field for eight touch
downs and a safety and kicked four
goals after touchdowps, all of which
amounted to "a points.
It's scarcely necessary to add that
Germantown did not score. The Green
and White made no headway against
the OBrien line. The Lewis aggre-
cation covered ground when II had the
ball, but it went the wrong way. Cen
tral kept pushing them backward.
Harris was the individual star. The
swift O'Brien protege registered four
touchdowns and made one of them by
running back the kickoff in the third
period He dashed 20 yards for this
score. Captain Eddowes made only one
touchdown, but on line plunges he tore
the Germantown line to shreds and then
tied the shreds into knots.

THE SEATS OF THE MIGHTY

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 IN A recent illustrated supplement
 of a great newspaper is a picture . which will excite unmitigated pleasure in at least a certain type of minds
 Upon the throne in the palace of the former German emperor, pre-emi- nently "the seat of the mighty" two American doughboys are reclining. They lean against the back of the magnificent dais in an attitude of the most absolute. indifference to the tra- ditional sacredness of that symbol of power, not. indeed. as if they were born to the purple. but as if they did not "care cotton hat" for any known insignia of royalty, and would make light of the crown of Solomon, or the junction of an instant. Their legs are crossed: one of them Is smoking a cigar; upon the faces Of both there Is a naive smile, revealing far more could possibly have done their utter contempt for the trappings of king ship. To them there was no more sanctity in that gorgeous seat of the kaiser's than in a bench in park, or ar ammunition box of an artillery wagon or buckskin chair in their mothers kitchen on western prairie
