GEORGE WASHINGTON
TO PLAY BASEBALL

George Washington University is
forming an interdepartmentaI base
ball league. 1t is expected that each
branch of the university win or
ganize a team within the next two
weeks.
The revival of interest in baseball
at the institution may mean the re-
storation of the university's regular
team next year. 1t is hardly prob
able that intercollegiate base ball
will be authorized by university
officials this season.
The following managers of de-
partmental teams have been ap-
pointed: Columbian College, D. NJ.
Stephens; Medical School, George
Nordlinger; Dental College. r. w.
Mccullough, and Engineering Col
lege. 4. G. Karger. Jacob LenovitZ.
chairman of the student council
committee on athletics, made the
appointments.
A schedule of games will be pre-
pared within a week or two.

Fishing ii
BY Dick Peed

With the opening of the season, The
Washington Herald will offer col
umn devoted exclusively to fishing
1t viii be furnished every Saturday
and perhaps oftener, for any and all
readers, but will be especially Tor
anglers. or those interested in ang-
ling
To our way of thinking there Is
vast difference between an angler ana
fisherman. namely: A fisherman Is
one who fishes solely for the purpose
of getting fish-Setting them in most
any manner that evades loss of life
and escapes the law-with hook ana
line, net or seine or dynamite.
An angler Is one who goes fishing
for the love of the sport, to com
mune with nature" to fill his lungs
with ozone, to hear the hum of the
reel or the swish" of the fly rod,
and not merely to make a big catch.
To all these devotees we will dedr-
cate the column in an effort to make
some pleasant reading as well as to
give information that will be helpful
in pursuit of a pleasant outing that
will be remembered and retold, be-
sides aiding in various ways in catch
ing the big ones" as well as the lit
tie ones.
To do this we will in each issue
give the condition of the water
not in the language of the water
department officials which read
condition at influent gate 101.64o.
at effluent 6O.s02. but in plain old
English, like, clear. milky, cloudy
or muddy in order that the reader
may know whether to go. or stay at
home without consulting key to
the report and solving an algebraic
problem before he can find out whe-
ther or no the water is fishable for
mind.
Tides will be reported and the
best news obtainable as to what
fish are biting, where they are
most likely to be found, what bait
has been most successful and any
thing else we have in mind to help
to success. To do this we must
have the cooperation of the sports
men and ask them to send in re-
ports of their efforts in the pursuit
of the finny tribe.
To be useful these reports should
be truthful. A catch of ten perch
should not have a cipher added and
make it read 100; likewise a two-
bass catch should not get similar
treatment and read twenty, only to
deceive fellow anglers and send
them on a wild goose chase instead
of a pleasant and successful fish,
ing trip. Now, remember fellows,
you will be talking without your
foot on the rail" and there will be

Action Leaves Only Senate Rat
ification Necessary to Make
Greatest Revenue Measure
Ready for Wilson's Pen.
SOUTHERN SOLONS FIGHT
CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT
Declare Clause Invalid but Ef-
fort Defeated; Kitchin Pro-
tests WiIson-McAdoo Insist
enCe on Bills Reduction.

Washington, Feb. S-The house
early tonight adopted the conference
report Of the $4,000, 100000 revenue
bill.
The vote 30 to III with 12 voting
present.
The house action today leaves only
the senate ratification of the confer
ence report before the biggest rev.
enue bill in history" is ready for the
presidents signaure.
| The only fight on the conference
report was one by Mississippi con-
| men on the child labor amendment
which taxes profits from the products
| of child labor. The fight was lost
on motion to recommit the bill by
| Representative Nenable of Mississippi.
| Venable and Humphreys of Missis-
| sippi declared the child labor amend
| ment was unconstitutional and an un-
warranted assumption of state police
| power by the federal government. On
the final role call, four Mississippi
congressman voted against the bill.
"CHAMBER Or HORRORS"
Representative Moore of Pennsyl-
vania, Republican member of the ways
and means committee called the mea-
sure financial chamber of horrors,
but voted for it. The speech of
| Chairman Kitchin, chairman of the
house ways and means committee, in
opening up the debate, was largely q
| protest against the recommendations
| of former Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and president Wilson that the
bill should be reduced from $S,000,-
100000 to s6,000,000,000.
Kitchin made assertions that there
was propaganda to defeat the bill so
| that the present law would remain in
force. The house conferees. he said,
agreed to drop many of the house
provisions they wished to stand by.
| because they feared their insistence
might aid this propaganda"

HUN REDS DALKED
Only in Berlin Did Spartacans
Score in Much Advertised
Blow at Ebert Regime.

London. Feb. s-The Spartacan
coup which was to have taken place
Thursday, simultaneously In Berlin
and Weimar, materialized only In the
former city and then on minor
scale. according to reports received
here tonight. A Berlin dispatch re-
ceived by the Daily Mail today says
the soldiers council had occupied the
war office. The soldiers council has
been cooperating with THE Spartacan
in various parts of Germany particu-
larly In the region of Berlin and Well
mar, and 1t is accepted that the Spar
tacans were behind the reported par
tial success OF the soldiers In the capi-
tai and Kiel where the Spartacans
fought for control of the city Thurs
day and Friday. They were finally
suppressed with the aid of the garri-
son. which remained loyal to the
government. Nine persons were killed
and ~ wounded.
