Practically Eliminated From
Race for College Title by
29-to-18 Defeat.
ROUGH WORK MARS PLAY
BY b. C. BYRD.

After some rough, hard basket ball
and plenty of fouls, called and un-
cafied, Catholic University last night
defeated George Washington Univer-
sitK by 29 to IS. 1t was apparent
eHfy in the contest that Catholic U.
f1ae much the better drilled quint and
ought to win by a comfortable margin,
and with the exception of a period in
the second half. when the Hatchetites
braced it kept we'll ahead.
Atholic University now leads the
District Intercollegiate League, with
GaQaudet close second. The result
oeea last nights contest practically
tfupws George Washington out of the
rssoe and leaves the championship
oSen to Catholic u and the Kendall
Green quipt, with the odds favoring
tkK former to win out. Here is the
shading of the teams:

Jack Dempsey Is Here.

Police regulations of the District
prohibit sparring matches or boxing
exhibitions of any character where
spectators are charged an admission
fee. For this reason Washington's
fight fans and members of the sport
ing fraternity generally will be un-
able to see Jack Dempsey in action
with an opponent during his engage
ment at a local theater this week,
but for all that they are sure to turn
out in generous numbers to get a
good look at the husky youngster
who viii battle Jess Willard for the
heavyweight crown next July.
In his public appearances in the
capital, Dempsey will hook. jab and
swing on nothing more formidable
than Bat Nelson's boxing dummy, but
he will do some bag punching, rope
skipping and other conditioning stunts
in regulation ring attire, and this will
give the boys who hope Representa-
tive Cary's bill becomes a law the
chance to size up the scrapper who
may be the next champion of the
world

To Bid for Annual Events.

Bids for the three annual fixtures
held by clubs here will be presented
by delegates from the clubs at the
meeting. The annual tournament of
the Washington Golf and Country
Club probably will. as is the custom.
open the season this year This
tournament. according to present in
dications. will be held May 1, and 8.
In past years the Chevy Chase Club
has held its annual spring event the
reXt week. No change from the pre-
vious schedule is looked for this year.
The other tournament of major inter-
est is that of the Columbia Country
Club, usually held about the middle
of October. Dates for all these events.
as Wen as the titular tourney, will

Mike is enthusiastic over the out
look for the Washington club this
year. Cherrydale's leading citizen

history summed it all up when he
said an army travels on its stomac CHI.
Mike contends the principle applies
to a ball club in a pennant race and
is confident the eats program he has
outlined will do much toward putting
his charges in shape to open the cam
paign with a flying start.
OF the twenty-five players who are
expected to visit the training camp,

in line, but the ten yet to accept

ager Griffith has a lot of letter writ

concerned is indicated by the outing
he now is enjoying in a lodge near
Harpers Ferry. None of this num-
Der can be clased as a sure enough
holdout, unless it is Shaw, and it is
not believed he really is anxious to
give up base ball

THAT each local of the fourteen
international railway unions within
this State urge upon their member
ship a fuller appreciation of the
power of the ballot and the neces-
sary qualifications for the legal
exercise thereof; national restric-
ton of interstate traffic in child
or prison labor; promotion of in
dustrial democracy that the rail-
way men of the State become effec-
tive factors in all the educational
activities of the community in
which they reside so that an oppor-
tunity may be available to keep

generation the ideals for which or
ganized labor is striving, and for
the further purpose of promoting
the vocational education of the
children of the State so they may
be trained in some useful, self
supporting occupation; that the po-
litical policy of this organiza-
ton shall be nonpartisan and that
the officers of this League be au-
thorized to take the initiative in
bringing about an amalgamation
with the American Federation of

State Grange on all propositions of
mutual concern"
