brought the Blue and White quint
to the fourth hole in the league
standing and left the Stenograph-
ers, battered, beaten and lonesome
alone in last place. Coach Metzler's
proteges came through to a 26-to-14
victory and were never in danger
from the first whistle. Judging the
Blue and White five on their last
two starts, it is apparent that they
have found themselves" and with
longer series to play through
would probably cause plenty OF
trouble to the other teams in the
race.
The Blue and White tossers
started off in the first period and at
the end of ten minutes had rung up
Eceeded to enlarge as the game pro-
gressed.
During the second quarter Metz
ler's boys held the Stenographers to
a single point while they were ring
ing up fiye, and at half time the
score stood IL to 5 in their favor.
Both quints scored five points in
the first ten minutes of the second
half, but Central walked away from
the Stenographers in the last quar-
teri and with Lemon, McFsdden and
Childress going at top speed II was
only a question of how big the
score would be.
Lemon, by the way, played much
the same type of game that he
flashed against Tech. which means
that he was at his best. Childress,
too, was in form. In this youngster
Metzler has a coming star of the
Dutch" Peck type, who in a couple

emit gait, will be a cage star of the

a 2o-to-I4 score.

The Red and White quint jumped
into the lead in the first quarter
from where they were never headed
game.
Western scored four field goals
and a free toss in the first ten
minutes of play against three field
goals for the Light Blue and White
team.
In the second quarter the Wes-
terners increased their lead getting
points to their opponents four.
in favor of the across-the-creek lads
and 1t looked as though they would
step out III the second half and
clinch the battle.
Eastern, however, shattered the
dope in the first quarter of the sec
ond half by outscoring the Wes-
terners by 3 points and getting
within points of the Red and
White team as the third quarter
ended. During this period -Guyon's
proteges flashed probably the clev-
crest and assuredly the fastest
passing game yet shown in the title
series.
Inc SdpllOl mn DOyS were pass
ing like a well-oiled machine and at
times their work resembled that of
a high-class college team instead of
that of mediocre scholastic quint.
The Western FIVE was completely
outclassed in this period in every
phase of the game and were stopped
dead By their speedier opponents.
1t was in this period that Capt.
Faber of the Light Blue and White
quint really came into his own and
flashed a class of playing that has
not been surpassed and probably
not equalled in the present series.
The fourth period opened with the
Fasteners still four points behind
but as the period progressed it was
evident that unless the Red and
White team came to" they would
be forced into second place in the
league race.
AS in the third period so it was
in the latter part of the battle.
The Capitol Hill lads outscored their
opponents from the first whistle and
with two minutes to play jumped
into the lead by virtue of Faber's
field goal. At this point the little
captain left the floor by reason of
four personals. Western here threw
a foul goal and the final whistle
blew as the ball was brought to
center for the toss up.

HERzOG WON'T PLAY HERE.

Buck Herzog, who was recently
released by the Cubs, will not play
with the Nationals this year, ac-
cording to President Griffith. The
veteran infileder came over from
Boston to apply for a job the early
part of the week, but Griff informed
him that there wasn't any vacancy.
HerzOg was unfortunate enough
to have been mentioned in the base
ball scandal and was turned loose
when the Cubs began to do house
cleaning. President Veeck, of the
Chicago organization, however. gave
the third-sacker a clean bill of
health. He sought to connect with
the Phillies, but found Manager
Donovan unrespOnsive.
Indications are that there is no
place for Buck in the majors and he
may be forced to exhibit his wares in
the minors.

begged for a lucid explanation and
from time to time they cleaned a little

the opportunity afforded. Year by year.
however, the parks have grown in
popularity and have attracted more
and more people. During the war;
when foreign travel was prevented
tens Of thousands of Americans who
had never thought of seeing America
first" turned their vacation journeys
parkward. The result was that the
fame of the parks spread as those who
visited them dwelt on their return
upon their wonders and slories of
scenery. Last year was the greatest
tourist season on record in the parks
This year. however, it Is expected that
the park-tourist travel will be even
greater. Preparations have been made
for the accommodation of an immense
number of travellers reaching the parks
by train and by automobile.
Thus the government investment
in park preservation has been repaid

Those who see these marvels Of geyser

how rich it is in beauty. There is
nothing to compare with this combina-

provided in the parks for those who

eral policy in this respect. and it is

The Memorial Day Address.

President Harding, in his Memorial
day address. delivered yesterday in the
Anphitheater at Arlington, gave the
lie to those who profess to believe that
the ideals which were Americas in
war have been cast aside in peace.
Looking into the faces of veterans
who knew the spirit in which our SOL
diers fought and died in France. who
carry in their hearts knowledge of
the high purpose behind that spirit.
he voiced a message to the world from
the hearts of vast ma ajority of the
American people:
Our country has never failed to
measure up to the demands presented
10 il in behalf of humanity. and il
never WILL" he said. and then: when
it ceases to meet these drafts ii Will
no longer be our country: it will be. if
that time ever comes. the wretChed
and deCaying memorial of another
civilization which has crumpled. of
another ambition for mans happiness
which has somehow gone awry."

in a speech which takes its place as

subject Of perhaps playful discourse
during Einsteins visit. there was more
real concern over prices and wages

it, if spacial relationships are different

world is going to wag along about the
