Central and Tech Win
In Scholastic League

The double bill in the scholastic
basketball series was played yester-
day in the Catholic University Gym
nasium in which Central defeated
Eastern. 90 to 5. and N the night cap
Tech triumphed over Western to the
tune of 2s to ls.
In the opening game Central out
played the plucky little five from
Capitol Hill. although the Light Blue
and White put up a game fight all
the way. So well did Lemon and Wood
shooters that their best was two bas-
kets from the floor during the fray.
Lemon was all over the floor and made
several difficult shots in caging the
ball counting nineteen of Centrars
twenty points.
At the end of the first half the
Mt. Pleasant quint was in the lead
by twelve points and increased this
lead in the final two quarters while
Eastern was held scoreless during the
same time.

In the final contest. which brought
Tech and Western together. better

teams. Conard and Welliver kept

that he only had two shots from the
floor. Hutchinson. who was sub

thorn in the side iof the boys from
across the creek. He was respon-
sible for almost half of Techs total
points. as he registered six baskets
from the floor.
Tech showed the best all-round
playing seen in the series to date.
Parker and GUIDE were here, there
and everywhere on the floor pre-
Western from getting shotS

his ability as a long-distance hitter.

pitcher, and fielder, but 1t is a ques-
ton whether he can hold up all the

particular. That is. il he is worked

have to use him in every game, as
much to capitalize his fame as any
thing else, and it is doubtful IL he can
live up to his reputation. He has been

his Individual record. The other
stars mentioned are workers for team
success. have shown that they hold
it above any selfish motives and as
such are worth a half-dozen players
like Ruth. So IL the figures mentioned
in the sale are anything near correct,
1t would be interesting for compari-
son TO see what value would be set

Anyway, the publicity given to the

SCHOLASTIC SPORTS
with JOHN e. GOErz.

Coach Battersby, of Business,
faculty cthletic advisor. stated last
night that the, contests will be
shifted to the end of the schedule,
which has been the direct rule since
the organization Of scholastic bas-
ket ball.
Providing a piano can be obtain
ed. there will be dancing immedi-
ately after the Business
scholastic game Tuesday. This will
be a treat for scholastic basketball
followers, for in the history of
scholastic basketball this feat has
not been accomplished.
Centrals' track men are now maxi
ing preparations for the coming
scholastic field and track meet Nav
s. Invitations have already been
sent for the affair.
Tech is scheduled to encounter the
strong Baltimore City College auint
Saturday. A good game is antici-
pated.
GUIDE Gosnell. of Tech, who has
been under the weather lately, is
rounding into keen condition, and
one says that 1t was fortunate for
the Techites that the scholastic
game with Western was Cancelled.
Woodberry Forrest and Tome Insti-
tute fives will battle In the Central
Y. M. c. A. Saturday. These quints
should furnish court followers a
keen exhibition of basketball.
McQuade and Briggs. varsity mem
bers Of the Eastern five, are In con-
dition and will probably be seen in
the Capitol Hill lineup In the
future. These boys will strengthen
the Fasteners greatly.
Tech has written to all prep schools
throughout Virginia far dates in base
ball. They have already arranged
contests with Massanuten and Ram

Coach Battersby. of Business, will
work his charges exceedingly hard

JACK JOHNSON
IN BAD AGAIN
Former Champ Is Conduct
ing Propaganda Against
u. S. in Mexico.

When Jack johnson fed the United
States and a flock OF warrants
charging him with various offences
there were some who felt the ex-
champ would eventually straighten
out his troubles with Uncle Sam and
srab some more. easy money from
fistic followers.
The ebony Mr.. Johnson, however.
seems to have nursed a crouch until
1t is certain that he has made his
last appearance in an American ring.
Just now he Is down In Mexico
trying his best to stir up q little
trouble for the United States. He Ii
appearing now and then and an
nexing some of the loose change Of
the Rio Grande greasers by toppling
set-ups who aim to be NIT fighters.
Between times he is doing his best
to stir up racial strife.
In Bad Again.
A committee from the Senate,
which Is investigating Mexican af-
fairs, has just heard from reliable
witnesses about one of his recent
scrapes.
1t seems that johnson walked into
the Sanborn restaurant in Mexico
City, respectable eating house,
and asked to be served The wait
ress. an American girl named Ting
man. refused to serve him. and her
action was approved by the San
born brothers, who are Americans.
johnson then became abusive and
announced that he would return and
rough-house the place. An hour
or two later he returned, accom-
panied by five Carranzista army Of
ncers. With them came a large
number of other Mexicans who
crowded the place. One of the Of
ficers had Walter Sanborn brought
in and then with their pistols point
ed at him the Carranzisata bunch
made Sanborn shake hands with
johnson. apologize to him, and to
cap the climaxe made him embrace
the negro in Mexican fashion.
Importing Negroes.
They made Sanborn serve everybody
in the house free of charge and they
ate and drank up about 1900 worth
of his stock.
1t was brought out by the Senate
probers that johnson is at the head of
the Jack Johnson Land Company.
which is conducting propaganda to
bring negroes from the United States
into Mexico. Here is the way he ad-
vertises:

are lynched. tortured. prosecuted and

is as good as another. and 1t is not
your color that counts but simply
you. Write for particulars to the

These same witnesses say that
Johnson is bar fly" in the Mex

Is wont to revive the story that the
Havana scrap where he turned his
toes toward the heavens was a
"frame-up." to boast that he can lick
the best in the world and that he
could wade through Jack Dempsey
like chicken dinner.
Johnson had dissipated a goodlsized
bank roll and those in the know say
that when he enters the ring these
days 1t Is more often for bean"
money than a generous purse.
