Martha Hale, fresh man at the University of California here, has taught herself not only to do with her feet practically every thing that the physically normal girl of 20 can do with her hands, includ- ling cooking. writing, sowing and dressing herself, but intends to teach others who are crippled to help them selves For this purpose. she is talk ing a special course in social ser vice.
 All her life Miss Hale's attitude has been one of optimism and self reliance. "A slender wisp of girl, she has never learned the meaning of Cant" She is an excellent stu dent, paints china, embroiders, and 'poves to swim and dance." Among her sehoolmates she has long since been accepted as ''one of the crowd"
 During the war Miss Hale visited many government hospitals where maimed soldiers were fighting their way back to an armless life.

HALF MILLION |NV0Lv vED IN
 BOSTON DEAL
Christy Mathewson Controls Substantial Interest Tn
 Boston Braves.

NEW YORK. Mar. 1-The deal by which a New York syndicate. headed by Christy Maihewscn. bought the Boston National League club from George Washington Grant, involved more than $500,OO0. it was disclosed by James MacDonough, New York banker, who, with the former Giant pitching star, and former Judge Emil Fuchs, New York, acquired all of Grants interests.
 Hods Half Interest
 MT NacDonoush said he held a half interest. He confirmed the an nouncement in Boston that Mathew son held substantial interest.
 Our prime interest," Mr. Mae Donough declared, "is to put the Braves. back on the baseball map as pennant contenders, and we are anx- ous to have Boston interests take a leading share in the clubs reorgan- ization.'
 Mir MacDonough assorted that while he had no intention of dispos- ing of his interest in the club now, he would be willing to allow Boston interests desirous of backing the Braves to come into the enterprise. It was the aim of the syndicate which had taken the team over, he said, to have Boston men in control of the board of directors.
 No Others Connected
 The banker denied emphatically that officials of the New York Giants or any other major league were con- nected with the syndicate.
 Mathcwson, he said, is now acting as treasurer as well as president of tho Braves and would have free rein. Mir. Marlborough has been an ardent fan for many years, but has had no previous official connection with organized baseball.

EVERETT HOWELL
 COMES TO FRONT
 WITH BIG FIVE
Is Captain of Roosevelt High in Seattle-Is Making
 Good All Ways.

Score 100 to in favor of Jul neau boy.
 Yes, sir; chalk it right up on the scoreboard an letter go as it stands.
 Everett Novel;, Juneau lad, son of Willis Howell, is all to the big end in basketball in Seattle.
 In a recent issue of the Seattle Post Intelligencer, right on the first page of the sporting section, is a big three-column cut and Everett Howell is half of that cut. all logged out in his basketball uniform.
 Over the cut is the caption 1.-Two factors of Roosevelt Team"
 Under the caption is the follow ing:
 "Roosevelt's basketball quintet Is making an exceptionally strong bii for the high school honors this year. Coach DVorak is shown giving a little fatherly advice to Capt Ever cit Howell of the Teddies-for the benefit of Sheldon, the Post-Inteli- gencer camera man."
 There you are, our little Juneau lad is the captain of the Roosevelt High School five, and the Roosevelt Hi is some pumpkins among the High Schools of Seattle.
 Just to show the Juneau lad is making good, the following excerpts are clipped from the Roosevelt News:
 "At the end of the game, four rabid Roosevelt rooters tore out on the floor, and began pounding Ever ett Nowell on the back, congratulate ing him on the victory. Referee Morris thought it was a rough-house, and pulled two men off Ev before he saw that 1t was Roosevelt con- graduating Roosevelt, not Queen Anne mobbng Roosevelt"
 "The flashy Ed Butler-Percy Bol- stead combination didn't work at all last Friday, due to the fine checking of Jim Hyllengren and Ev. Howell. Butler and Bolstead have worked together for three years, too. having pionship freshman and sophomore played as forwards on two cham teams in the Hilltop school"
 Next Friday Howell and Com pany will welcome the Franklin Quakers into our gym. Last time we played em. we slicked 'em up IF to 15, in overtime. It looks like an even scrap to us, with the ad- vantage on the side of Dvorak's gang who will be playing at home, before a friendly crowd
 Again that bunch mentioned above lost. Nowel's men winning by a score of 34 to IA.

THIRD GAME or SCHOOL SERIES
 PLAYED FRIDAY
Juneau Elves Journey to Douglas Tomorrow to
 Take on Island Teams.

With two games claiked up against it, Juneau High Will journey across the Channel tomorrGw night keyed up for a winning over the Douglas High School basketball team. The Hilltoppers came very near winning from the Island champions the last time the two teams clashed on the hard since the last battle with the sole aim of downing their ancient enemies tomorrow night.
 With the exception of one of the forward positions, the Scarlet jer- seyed five from the big white build unchanged from the lineup it pre- sented when the two teams met last. Janiksela is certain to start in at forward with Jimmy Barragar, the former stepping into the hole left by the departure of Scataglini re- man than "Scat" was and in the games he has been in this season has surpassed the latter's basket shooting average. He is capable of turning in a game that is on a par with any other forward on the Chan nel and if he can curb his tendency to run wild will prove to be one Of Coach Hughes most valuable play CTS Capt. George White has set his teammates an example of steadiness all season, which, if followed by them in tomorrow nights game, Is very likely to bring long-desired vie tory to the Scarlet and Black.
 The boys game will be preceded by a game between the girls teams of the two schools. The series be tween the latter stands one all Douglas winning the first on it's own floor and Juneau getting the verdict on this side of the Channel The two teams are evenly matched and the struggle between them will be almost as strong an attraction as ths boys game.
