CATHOLICS READY

Two of the fastest basketball
games ever flashed before the local
cage public will be staged tomor-
row night when the Princeton Tig-
ers hook up with Catholic Univer-
sity at Brookland and George
Washington battles the Hilltoppers
at the Coliseum.
Princeton comes here with one
Of the best records of any collegiate
Quint in the East and the Catholics
will have to- step high, wide and
handsome, if they expect to stop the
Tigers.
The George Washington George
town battle is a return game the
Hilltoppers having won the first
one by a few points. Playing on a
much larger floor, and one that
they are better acquainted with, the
Buff and Blue tossers hope to knock
off the Hilltop five. which has not
suffered a defeat this season. G. w

yet. despite his break down last
summer.
The veteran still has a lot of
smoke left in his ancient wing. A
heavy cold, which settled in his arm
in the first few days of the race
came near completing his last long
hike. He lasted long enough to
pitch a no-hit game around mid
season and then retire.
But we understand that he will
be good for twenty-five or thirty
games this season, and by being
able to get more rest he should be
good for many a winning afternoon.
He still needs thirty-three victories
to overtake Matty, and as Johnson
is only "a years old he may still
be quite a jaunt from the end of
the road.
Alexander as Old.
1t isn't generally known, but Alex
ander is only four months younger
than Johnson. The Cub star will
be "a Just a week from next Sat
urdav but he hasn't been over the
major league route as long. AL
though born only four months
apart, Johnson beat Alexander to
the Big Show by four years.
The big Kansan was an estab-
lished star before. the Nebraskan
was ever heard Of.
This start may be the barrier in
Alexander's way when it comes to
oyerhauling his main rivals. He
needs los more wins to catch Matty
and SO more to nip johnson, even
| though the latter doesn't add on
another marker.
Which you can gamble he will

skut-Outs.
As for shut-outs, Johnson has 80
Matty 50, and Alexander 81. So the
| washington impresario seems to
have this part of the industry pretty
we'll tied up. Alexander can only
overtake the Kansan by pitching
! 26 new shut-outs, and even this
number won't suffice If the blond
Shrapnel sticks in a few additional
blanketing parties of his own.

OHIO COLLEGIANS
KEEP GEORGETOWN
TOSSERS ON JUMP
Game Best Flashed by
Visiting Team in Ryan
Gym This Year.
By r. VI. HELGEsEN.

Georgetown's Hilltoppers defeated
Marietta College last night in Ryan
Gym by a 2s-to-21 score, but before
the battle was over the Blue and
Gray quint was forced to go
through the stiffest game that has
yet been flashed at the Hilton this
teason- The Ohio cOllegians I'M
ddubtedly played the best game
that has yet been flashed by any
visiting team against the Hilltop
ers this season and at times dur
ing the second half it looked as
though the local FIVE would be
forced to taste defeat for the first
time in many moons.
The Blue and Gray qUint started
OF in the lead, as usual, counting
four points by virtue Of two field
goals before the visitors got started.
However the Ohioans soon got &C
Climated and Whiting, who was the
individual star of the Marietta
quiSt, kicked in with a free toss
and shortly after dribbling half

HiIItOppers Squirt.
With the score four to three in
favor of the Hnltoppers the local
quint found themselves and as the
half time whistle sounded had rung
up fifteen points to their opponents
eight.
The westerners came out in the
second half and came within four
points of tying the score before the
Hintoppers could get started. Again
however, the local five found them
selves, goals by Florence, Flavin
and O'Connell stopped the visitors
for a while.
With ten minutes to play the
visitors again staged a rally which
came near tying the battle but fell
short by three points.
NeaIe's Men Well Coached.
Greasy" Neale brought a team
here which furnished more opposi-
ton for the HilltOppers than any
other team which has been seer
here this season. The OhiOans are

as pretty a passing game as one

BANQUET TICKETS SELL FAST,

Tickets for the Mcbride banquet,
which went on sale yesterday, are
going fast, according to those in
charge. Five bones get one, and
the supply will probably be eX-
hausted by the early part of next
week.
One Of the unusual things about
this feed is that there will be no
deadheads. Even the newspaper
guys, who haven't paid for anything
like that since they were old
enough to know better, are going to
dig down into their jeans this time.
And what's more, they are darned
glad to do it. They agree with Carl
Tinker that it's going to be worth
lot more than the price of ad-
mission.
Another meeting of the commit
tee in charge will be held tonight
at the City Club.

Peterson's u Champ, Too.

Almost as interesting as the cue
ing of the champion was the work
of Charley Peterson, termed the
worlds greatest fancy shot, at
Shcrman's for the past two days.
Trick shooting is hobby OF
Peterson's, though he can run up a
respectable total in billiards. He
is the fastest man with the cue in
existence, having officially made 100
points in u seconds, whether you
believe it or not.
Peterson has a repertoire of 5O4
trick shots and is adding to it all
the time His favorite amusement
while travelling is to grab pencil
and paper and map out new plays
with geOmetrical precision. After
he has worked them out on paper
they always pan out on the green
cloth, he declares. What he doesn't
know about angles and curves amt

he will show the same natural tai

IN THE NAME OF RELIGION!
Weird and Savage Rites induioed In by the khIysts, Sect of
 Russian Fanatics.

One of the queer religious sects of the world is the Christs or KhlySts of Russia. They hold their meetings in their churches with hundreds of men, women and children attending. After prayers and hymns that last until midnight they begin a wild dance amid sobs and groans. After this con- tinues for while they abandon their garments and put on white robes and white stockings. Candles are lighted, and a new dance begins that consists of rapidly revolving, the men to the right. the women to the left.
 Il a short time sort of madness falls upon them. They leap. scream, beat themselves and each other, in- dulge in wild laughter and cries, and then begin to tear of the garments with shouts of "It is coming, the Holy Spirit Is comingl" They begin to go about on all fours, riding on one an- others backs, rolling about on the floor, biting and scratching one an other. and at last go entirely insane and dash about until they fall ex- hausted. By dawn the church floor is covered with naked men. women and children. unconscious and blood stained.

BURIED WITH THEIR HUSBAND
Wlves Of Membsrs sf the Darau Tribe v the ceree Arc lntsrrsd With
 the Corpse.

The Barua tribe in the Congo dis trict of Africa have a number of strange and horrible customs. but of them all their burial customs are the most terrible. When . man dies . large grave Is dug. The corpse and his wives-these may be anywhere from two to twenty--are escorted to the hole with wild music and the in- terested attendance of the entire tribe. The chief wife Is thrust into the hole. and the corpse Is then lowered. The second wife follows. The dead mans relatives then proceed to break the arms and legs of the two wives so they cannot get out of the hole. The head of the corpse is placed in the lap of the head wife, and the feet in the lap of the second wife.
 The rest of the wives are then thrust Into the hole. their limbs broken. and they are forced to sit in a circle about the corpse and it's human supporters. The priest chants a few words, and everyone falls to with rude shovels, dishing earth into the hole. They nev- CT stop until the grave is full and the corpse and the living wives buried far under the earth. The howls of the wives with their broken limbs and fear of the terrible death are drowned by the banging of drums and the yells of the delighted tribe.

The Rox of It

The three children were on the street car on their way to school-a boy and two younger sisters. The sis ters disputed who was to push the button to notify the street car con- ductor to stop the car. The older sis ter won and held her finger on the button for more than block. Then her brother rose. pulled her hand away arbitrarily and pushed the but ton. The older sister stepped into the vestibule, followed by her sister, to be the first to step oif the car. As 1t stopped, the brother brushed them aside and led the way. The sisters having alighted, waited for the car to go on, but the boy rushed across the tracks, ignoring the warning changing of the bell by the motorman.
