Racing Pigeons
Garner Prizes

The most important event in rae
ing pigeon circles in the District this
year was the formation of the Con-
course Association, in which the FIVE
clubs of the National Capital par
ticipated. They were Washington,
Aero, District Of Columbia, Capital
City and Capital Heights,
The washington District Club won
the average speeds in both the young
and old bird races in the South, West
and Combine events, To John Hol-
mead went the henors fer the local
hyefs in the Chattanooga Combine
race, in which birds from this city,
Baltimore, Cleveland and Pittsburgh
completed. when his pigeon captured
third place. John Wolf, another To-
cal fancier. carried off special hon-
ors when his entry won Combine
race from Evergreen, Ala, dis
lance of $50 miles,
1t was the most disastrous year in
the history of pigeon racing in the
National Capital over the Western
course. In some of the shorter races
the birds had a hard time returning
to their lofts. but better weather was
encountered in the longer races and
they were more successful.
The competition the past year,
though, was the best ever and the
fanciers are looking forward to even
better dying next year.

One of my friends, the coach of a
big Pennsylvania university, is one
of the best in this line. He is an
invaluable aid to his scouts, and after
looking a boy over he always knows
just what bait to use. ! was amused
to learn. after knowing him for
years. that he is an expert trout

choose.

three occasions. Tho last instance inv

Half a dozen times I thought / had
him landed, as did three or four
other scouts, but he finally signed up
at the big Pennsylvania school--an-

That was last year. A few days ago
] asked the coach how he finally
nailed this lad. He told me an inter-
esting story.
After considerable jockeying the
coach got the boy on the campus as
SCnOOI was opening out, running true
to form, he stalled on matrieulating.
In order to impress the lad and to in
crease his sense of obligation, the
coach took him to tailor to be
measured for uniform. This was
not necessary, as they had plenty of
uniforms, but 1T was part of the busi-
ness of weaving, the web.
Two days later the coach got an
underground tip that the boy was
I l.. Il
college. The coach had one last card
to play. Being good observer of
human frailties. he Mad noted that the
boy was eaten by vanity, that he had
a primitive fondness for gaudy
clothes. He hot-footed it down to the
tailor shop.

he said.
The tailor told him it would take a

known or Imaginable device of trick
tailoring. The cloth was woven with

The boy was just packing to jump
the school when the suits We're de-
livered. 1t worked The boy unpack ed

midget division the Southend Midgets
overcame the Meridians in the final
series.
Two leagues not under the control
of the Washington Base Ball and
Amateur Athletic Association were in
the field, The Independent League,
composed of several of the strongest

through a season highly successful
from a competitive standpoint, with
the Shamrocks of Southeast Washing
ton and the Dominican Lyceums OF
the Southwest section, half-season Sc
rles victors, meeting in a. post-season
set of games. The Shamrocks grabbed
the honors,
The Benning- Prince Georges
League, organized after the base ball
seasoa was we'll under way, included
number of mines in the suburbs OF
Washington. Several changes in it's
roster occurred. but it enjoyed a good
season, with the Benning club finish-
ing at the top of the lot
Palace Laundry Five Best.
There was considerable activity in
independent basket ball circles dur
ing the first part of the year. Aloysius
Club again had a sturdy team on the
floor, but 1t was unable to stave off
the newly organized Palace Laundry
quint in the struggle for city ,laurels

former Yankees, several years the

Few Play on Sundays.
In one respect genuine gain has
been made in the fight against pre-
fessionalisn. This appears in the
virtual elimination of Sunday play
ing by college players. Until two or
three years ago the best of collegians
used to pick up considerable side
money by playing under an assume ed
name in hot intersectional or inter-
city contests. They used to get from
s75 to $3.50 a game and there was a
brisk demand for their services, par
tieularly in Ohio, where professions

eral scandals came out of this, and
then the method was TO pass the hat
in the crowd with a request for small
contributions, to pay the boys eX-
penses." The hat would be handed
to the captain, in the presence OF the
crowd, for the division of the money,
presumably a few dollars for ear
fare But the fact was that under
the band of the hat there would al
ways be a few high caliber bills and
it was by no means Just d few dol

The national rule reYoking the
amateur standing of any boy who
had played in game where admis-
SIGN was charged or where collec-
ton was taken, together with some
ugly scandals, finally put an end to
this. Eut it was not only this Wig

Sandlot affairs finally became so
unsatisfactory that several keeniy in

most of the teams of Washington and
petitioned. the National Base Ball
Federation for a charter. 1t, was
granted early this year and plans
were formulated for an extensive
season.
Two leagues of unlimited class
mines were formed, one called the
Potomac League and the other the
Washington Maryland League. The
latter circuit included several mines
located in that part of Maryland
adjacent to the District. Teams
classed as senior, junior and midget

Soccer Doomed
By Schoolboys

AS in past years, soccer was left
almost entirely to the elementary
public school boys here in 1924, al
though a few club teams made spas
modic efforts 10 gain recognition.
The elementary school tournament
this year was larger than ever. and
notable for two surprising upsets.
Monroe and Pierce schools, that for
three years had held sway in the east
ern and western sections of the city
and fought in the final round, with
Monroe always winning, were laid
low in divisional preliminary games.
Monroe fell before Park View in the
Columbia Heights division and Pierce
before Blow in the Rosedale division.
More than 100 boys participa ted
in the divisional games. The win
ming teams were: Force-Adams,
Georgetown division; Park View, Co
iumbia Heights division: Brightwood
Park. Bloomingdale division: Abbott
Twining, New York avenue division:
Blow, Rosedale. division: Peabody,
Plaza division; Wallach, Garfield di-
vision; Brent-Dent, Virginia avenue
division.
Park View overcame Fore, ,dams
Brightwood Park and Abbot-Iwining
to win the western section laurels,
and Blow, a school without an eighth
grade, defeated Peabody, Wallaeh
and Brent-Dent for the eastern Sec
ton honors.
These sectional winners are en-
gagged in a warm contest for the city
championship. Park View has a
