In a game which was full of first
class basketball Eastern wore down
the Central five to % to II score
yesterday. The final brought out
some excellent work on the part Of
the Fasteners. who came through
in fine style.

Baltimore winner was declared last
night when Baltimore City won
over Loyola by Is to II.
1t will be remembered that these
two schools were entered in the

The Baltimore affair is a city con-

Titular Series
Plans Discussed
BY Senior Elves

Representatives of the 1875 to 14O-
pound court teams got together at
a meeting held last night in the
Sports Department of the Washing
ton Herald and talked over the
proposition of a series to determine
the champion outfit OF that divi-
sion.
The matter was discussed from
every angle, but no definite action
was taken because Of the limited
attendance. The Western A. c.,
Georgetown Juniors and other fast
teams failed to have representa-
tiVeS present.
It was decided to hold another
meeting, Tuesday night, at the
same place. Teams that are not
represented at this meeting will be
considered as not caring to enter
the series.
Those present last night were:
Charles Zirkle, Anacostia Eagles;
Guy Perkins, Lexington A. c.; c.: r..
Deoby, Congress Heights A. c.;
Eddie" Pitts, Roamer A. c.; Wesley

LEOPOLD AUER'S BOOK.

To music lovers in general, and par
ticularly to those for whom the vio-
lin holds an especial enchantment, one
of the important books of the year will
be the volume of "reminiscences by Leo
pold Auer. which he has published
with the title of MY Long Life in
Music"
The book is more than mere vol
ume of memories. 1t is the express
sion of the intimate personality of one
of the greatest masters the violin has
ever known. a musician whose public
life as violinist, conductor and teacher,
have extended actively over almost
three-quarters of century.
Many delighted stories are told of
Auer's famous pupils who are among
the greatest violinists of the present
time. Jascha Heifetz is made the
subject of many pages of interesting
"reminiscences. An amusing account is
given of the time when Professor
Auer taught both the famous Jascha
and his father. who was also violin
list, and the subterfuges that were en-
ployed to have them both received in
the Conservatory of Petrograd at the
same time. Toscha Seidel is another
