PALACE PRO SQUAD
CUT TO EIGHT men

Yesgar and Wesslock; two promis-
ing men on the Washington pro bas-
ket ball clubs roster, will be dropped
following tonight's' game In Alexan-
dria, Va, with st. Mary's Celtics.
They appear to lack the stamina to
carry through blg-league season.
Capt. Ray Kennedy, however, has
found berths for both in the Central
Ohio League. Departure of Yesgar
and Wesslock will leave the local
team with eight players, the number
allowed for the season by league
rules.
When the Washington passers take
on Philadelphia tomorrow night in
the local entry's first game In the
American League they will be facing
a combination that last year was
the national independent champion.
"Stretch" Meehan. one of the coun-
try's outstanding stars, will lead the
