MARINE CORPS
PAY SLASHED
Enlisted Men and Band Music
ians Lose S28.2l by De-
cision of Comptroller.

Enlisted men of the marine corps
stationed in Washington and in
cluding the Marine Band will be cut
$28.2l on their pay check at the end
of this month on account OF a rul-
ing by the Comptroller Of the Treas
ury cutting their allowance for com
mutation of rations from $l.59 day
to 68 cents a day.
APPEAL IS DENIED.
The ruling was made by the Comp
troller some time ago and was ap-
pealed, but the Comptroller, In re-
viewing his previous decision. held
that the marine corps men were only
entitled to the rations OF the navy.
The fnal decision was made on jan
uary 20, too late TO deduct the money
from the pay Of the men stationed here
on the mid month pay, so the deduc-
ton for the entire month Will be
made at the end of this month.
The decision affects about 400 men
stationed at headquarters. the per-
sonnel OF the Marine Band, and others
stationed in Washington. In all, be-
tween 500 and 600 men, many of them
with families. who arc paid through
marine corps headquarters here. Will
be affected.
The case came up to the comp
trolIer in the case of Walter F.
Smith. second leader of the Marine
Band. and the decision rendered BY
the Treasury official affects every
enlisted man.
ARMY ALLOWS Sl.ss.
Enlisted men Of the army arc al
lowed $3.50 a day for rations when
not attached to their regiment or
arc on q detail away from their
company. During tho war the Ma
rine Corps was fused with the army
and drew the same rations or allow
ances as the army men did. Now
that the war has ended. the Marine
Corps men will only be allowed the
rations or allowances Of the navy.
In his decision. tho Comptroller
contends:
ANY army or navy regulation
which prescrfbes tho rate for COM
mutation of rations in a sum mater
tally greater than the cost price OF
the ration in cases Of enlisted men on
duty at a place where they can pur-
chase subsistence at cost price TO the

struggle with the Aloysius Big Five
for the District independent basket
ball title. flatly turned down a chal-
lenge from manager Joe kearney, OF
the Knickerbocker Club, following
lost nights victory over Aloysius by

The Knick manager asked for a
game and was refused by Schaffer

content to take on the Aloysius In
the present series.
In Congress Heights last night the
Yankees and Aloysius players hooked
up in a first class contest. The home
players got into the lead early in the
game and were never headed.
The visitors who grabbed of the
long end of 36 to FL contest showed
the effects of play of the night be-
fore and were forced frequently to
kill the ball in the second half in
the effort to keep the Aloysius
youngsters from scoring.
Heddens, Sauber and Anterior
played consistently well for the
winners. MaNaney and Costello did
exceptionally good work for Aloysius.

COX WELLF|TTED
FOR PIN PRESIDENT
Helped Organize Local Body in
1910-HeId Leadership
Five Years.

BY way of introducing Mr.. George
T. Cox, president of the Washington
City Duckpin Association to the
newer element of bowlers which has
come into the game during and since
the war, IL Is recalled that Cox Is
probably the best fitted man in the
District to head the organization. he
formation on February IS. 1910.
Cox was the first president During
the lapse of eleven years, he has been
succeeded by such men as Pop" Hal
ley: John r. Meany Harry krauss and
Tommy George. Others.~ too. have
held the exalted office of president,
with just as much credit to them
selves and beneft TO the organize
ton as those mentioned.
ORGANIZED ELEVEN YEARS AGO.
Eleven years ago Cox associated
himself with the leading figures in
Washington pin circles to organize
the association. Working with him
in the infant organization were the
aforementioned Meany and Krauss,
as well as T. A Harlow, James p.
McCurdy. T. G. HeImerichs. ii. w.
Armiger. William Boyd, Frank How
ard, Z. Krieger and n. Hurley. OF
these names Arminger and Boyd
| might be mentioned as still being
two of the hardest working men in
| the Capital in behalf OF the duckpin
game.
| In anticipation OF making the 1921
city tournament equally as success
| full as some of the many notable sue
| cesses which have marked tourna-
ments of former years, President Cox
has already taken up the reigns OF
dictatorship. He has appointed sew.
| eral Of his most necessary commit
tees, and expects himself to head the
all-important schedule committee.
PRIZES TO BE MANY.
Cox has already approached some
OF the city's leading merchants on tho
matter of prizes. which assures the
competitors that besides the money
awards which the sepaIs.te classes
merchandise prizes awarded to the
| duckpin bowlers who assert theii
agility with the little pins.
| He was not only the first presiden,
Of the Washington City Duckpir
Association. but he succeeded himself
the following four years. He was the
| first life member to be elected. This
distinction. by the way. was also
accorded Tommy George, the retiring
president this season. For many sea
sons Cox held the post OF secretary
his work Ira that capacity having
never been equalled by any succeed
ing secretary, unless 1t was by OLD
Reliable "Mose" Goldberg.

SOCCER WILL BOOM
0VERAT ACADEMY
Midshipmen will Resume Inter-
collegiate Game in Fall With
a Schedule.

ANNAPOLIS, March 1o.-Not only
will the regular football schedule at
the Naval Academy be OF unusual in
terest next fall. but intercollegiate
soccer will be resumed and more than
the usual attention given to the plebe,
or freshmen team. The game against
Princeton on October Is will be the
big attraction, and other opponents
on the home grounds will be North
Carolina State, Western Reserve,
Bethany, Bucknell and West Virginia
Wesleyan.
As 1t is proposed to put into effect
eligibility rules and not to allow hrst-
year students on the team. the fourth
class team will be much above its
usual strength. and experience will b.
afforded the players by securing .
good schedule of games.
Several games of soccer with out
side teams were played two years ago,
the season beginning just after that
Of the regular game. 1t was found
that weather conditions were unfav-
orable at that period. and only intra-
mural games were played this season.
Now it Is proposed to resume out
side competitions, ana to schedule
games for Wednesdays during Octc-
Der and November, and also on the
Saturdays when the regular team is
playing away from Annapolis or has
