''On Aqua creek, most won

eight or ten net fishermen Opcr-

Washington and Boston are
once more striding along in > tie
for the leadership in the pro-
fessionaI basketball league. Brook
lyn made it q three-ccrnered mix
up by whipping Cleveland Thurs
day, but Garry Schmeelk's five
found the going too hot for them
in Buffalo last night, losing by
the score Of % to q. That
dropped Brooklyn back into third
place.
Tomorrow night at the Arcade
the rebuilt Palace quint will
tackle "Snools" Dowd and his
Boston WhiIrlwinds and the win
ner will advance into first place.

The game will mark the first
appearance in Washington uni
forms of George Glascoe and
Rusty" Saunders, a pair of scor-
ing forwards who were obtained
by Manager Lou Sugarman from
Brooklyn for "Reds" Conaty and
Rody Cooney.
Judging by the way Glascoe and
Saunders have been going for
Brooklyn in the last three games,
the home team has the edge in the
deal. The two Brooklyn forwards
have been playing sensational
games. especially on the teams
whiriwind trip over part of the
western end of the circuit.
The Palace team will start with
Haggerty at center, Glascoe and

This is the starting array but
whether it finishes or not depends
On the teams success. Manager
Sugarman will send Saunders to
center il the Club founders The
latter stands six feet three and is
coming along as one of the most
promising pivotmen in the East.
GlascOe and Saunders should
fit in with the Palace lads with
little or no trouble. Both are ex.
perlenced men and know their
basketball.
MarehalPs men are not EXPECT
ing a set-up from the Whirlwinds
who have held the championship
Of New England for five years. No
home team in this league can expect
puny opposition according to the
upsets that have blasted the dope

last Monday night, when Rochester

angler that nature has been lavish
in providing this portion OF our
country with ideal conditions for
the development Of the big mouth

lesser streams with their tributaries,
Al they enter the tidewater region,

the bass family. Smelt, bull min

other forms Of small life furnish Il

going Of the tides give tone and
motion to the water, and exercise
TO the bass to keep them from GET

severe, and the early coming Of
spring assures q long season for

A FLnlp In JudiciaL Diuinitu


TN Memphis, Tenn, there is federal
l Judge who has endeayored persstently
TO put over the idea that his views on one
thing and another are sacred, little more
sacred at least, than the L. s. constitu-
ton. That he has not succeeded must at
this moment. be cause of serious regret TO
him. For this federal Judge is in immi-
nent danger of occupying one of those
jails TO which he has so enjoyed sending
others.
The Judge is ]. W. Ross, Daugherty
appointed him. He became known out
side his own bailiwick at the time of the
railway shipments injunction issued by
Judge Wilkerson at Chicago. The editor
of labor weekly in Memphis expressed
in rather raw language his views Of
strike-breakers and Judge Ross sent him
to Jail on the charge that he had violated
Wilkerson's injunction The editor of
daily newspaper in Memphis criticized
the action of Judge Ross on the ground
that ii transgressed fundamental free
dom of the press and of speech. He didn't
indorse what the labor editor had said,
but he defended his right to say it.
Jail for you, too. said Judge Ross.
Eventually he made ii $500 fine in-
stead
Well, that waters over the dam and the
publicity continues to flow in Memphis.
But the judge apparently lost none of his
faith in the sanctity of his personal self.
A bank has just gone smash in Memphis.
Among its assets" has been found $751;
900 in six drafts drawn by Judge Ross.
All six had been returned dishonored by
the persons against whom them were
drawn. One of these persons was the
attorney for the Memphis Street Rail
way company and another was the re-
ceiver for the same company. Another
was the judges brother, a banker in Sa-
vannah. All said, when interviewed, that
they knew of no reason why the Judge
should have issued drafts against their
bank accounts.
Maybe the judge won't go to Jail. May
be putting him there would be contempt
of court. Presently we will see. Mean
time
Daugherty is gone, but the evil he did
lives after him.
