occurred. Miss Mooney was a rOomer

Miss Akers, the younger Of the girls,
often spent the night with her school

KENNEDY WILL PLAY
AGAINST FORT WAYNE.

The Washington Basket Ball Club
received good news from Manager
Ray Kennedy today, which makes
the Palace quint's chances of hang
ing onto the heels of the league
leading sCeltics more favorable.
The local pilot wired from his home
in New York City that his infected
thumb is healing rapidly under ex-
pert medical treatment and that he
win be able to resume play when
the team meets Fort Wayne next
Monday night in the first of a four
game Western series.
Had Kennedy not had his injury
in the Celtic contest last week Wash
ington might have been leading the
American League today instead of
the New York quint. He scored only
one point in that clash, whereas he
has an average point-per-gam rec
ord of over seven. and this figure
added to Washfngton's total at the
close Of the game would have
beaten the Celtics.
Until Sunday the local players will
rest at their homes in various sec
lions of the country and they will
join in Fort Wayne on the Sabbath
to take light workout for the next
nights battle. Saunders, Glasco and
Kearns have gone to Trenton. n. j.:
