It's just as necessary for q
ball team to train in the South
as It is for frock coats to have
tails. The northern climate is
too sudden and besides the cal
endar moves more swiftly down
there.
Yep, time flies where it's al
ways sunshine and moonshine.
The former helps the days to
glide and the latter speeds the
nights.
The southern acoustics and
cooking give athletes mental
poise and acute indigestion.
When the head and the stom-

they know they've soon got to
start earning their own bis

then second, next high. Most

Trouble with southern train

Through subterranean channels
there also comes the information
that James D. Preston, superintond.
ent Of the United States Senate

Preston has been more or less

Opposing them viii be the Palace
Laundry team, ambitious to make
a creditable showing against the
team that bears the formidable
reputation greatest Of all time
This is the golden year Of basket
ball history and the Celtics are
supreme.
Few games win be played in
Washington tomorrow night. The
reason is well expressed by Ernest
Humphrey, manager Of the Inn
nlacUlate Conception Quint. He
said this morning: "Put q piece
in the paper, will yuh, that the
Immaculate Conceptions and Do
minican Lyceums have cancelled
their game for tomorrow night.
All the gang are going to see the
CeItics.'
Ernest barely missed booking his
team for the preliminary at the big
basketball show.
I'VE didn't care so much about
playing the game as we did about
getting in free to see the Celtics, u
he piped. "a player can learn
more watching them than he can
by playing a whole season."
But the East High school and
Anacostia Eagle teams, who will
clash In the preliminary, regard II
differently, although being perfect

ruled the rOOst in scholastic bas-
ketball. Two seasons have the
AnacOstla Eagles lOrded it over
the 145-pOund independents. The
Eagles have won sixteen cOnsecu-
tive victories and haven't been
beaten this season. Eastern won
the scholastic title series without
meeting defeat. They're two
crack young basketball teams.
So great are their opponents that
the Palace Laundry players have
been barely mentioned in discus
sions over the Coliseum event. The
Laundrymen have been working as
siduously with the determination tc
prevent humiliation.
They need not fear this, II re
ports Of the Celtic exhibitions are
true. The champions fancy per,
formances after games are safely
in the bag are said to be revela
tions of basketball genius and they
seldom seek to run up big scores
on weak opponents.

Ouin1et Works Hard
To Bring Down
Cost OF Golf

One of the most earnest
workers for cheaper golf is
Francis Ouimet. The former
amateur and open champion
argues that the future success
of the game depends upon the
development Of young players,
but that many youths cannot
afford to take up the sport at
existing high prices.
Ouimet points out that golf
in Scotland can be played by
almost every one for q small
cash outlay. He points out
that the Scots feature their
courses and are content with
modest club houses. The Amer
ican custom requires elaborate
club houses, with q resultant
increase in membership dues
and general expense.

light and power failure Wednes-
day night. Through a misunder-
standing of the operating depart
ment the new line from Kent
which was built for just such an
emergency was never o. X d. for
service and the repair men not
knowing that the new line was
ready for service did not put it
in but repaired the break in the
old which caused the long delay
in the service. The proper steps
have been taken to prevent this
from occurring again on the main

Wilson was wrong to refuse to con- sider any alteration in plan to which there was opposition, certainly President Coolidge would be wrong to present any obstacle in the way of the adoption of a broad plan for tax reduction, merely because the sug- gested change came from members of the other party. If he is as small as that he is not the man his admirers credit him with being. Get the tax reduction by changing the plan if necessary-but get it. No man ever lived whose work could not be im- proved upon after hearing the criti- cisms of others. Even Secretary Mel lon, wise as he is, may not have con- ceived the perfect plan. May there be TO politics in the carrying through of a tax reduction plan that will meet the approval of the vast majority of the people of the country whose opin- ion, in the long run, is the best opin- ion obtainable.
