PALACE FIVE TOURS
AFTER 39-TO-3O WIN

Ray Kennedy and his stellar band OF
Palace professionals in the American
Basket Ball League have a long rest
from the league contests before them,
starting today.
The Palace Club is scheduled to
leave the Capital tonight at 6:45 for a
three-Week trip through the West,
composed largely of exhibition games
although they will meet the Cleveland
Rosenblums, winners of the first halt
of the league schedule, in Cleveland
on February 10.
Twelve games are Scheduled on the
trip. of which only three are league
contests. They will be back in Wash
ington February q to play Philadel-
phia.
Tomorrow night Palace will meet
the Kenton, Ohio. team in the Buck
eye State town. Thursday night they
will engage the Shelby, Ohio, tossers
and Friday they will move to Hunt
ingtOn, w. Va, to engage the team of
that place. Other games are billed for
the week end.
Washington's pro tossers really
earned this respite from league activi-
ties last night, trouncing Fort Wayne
Caseys at the Arcadia in one of the
best games played here in many
moons. Though they annexed the
combat by 80 to 80 score, maintain
ing lead throughout the clash, there
never was moment when a let-down
by Washington would not have let
Fort Wayne creep into a dangerous
position.
Washington led 81 to 8 at half time
Then came a lull in the fierce Wash
ington attack which Fort WAYNE
quickly took advantage of to score six
points. Palace quickly recovered,
however, and drew away into a sub
stantial lead.

Local College Basket Ball Games Tonight and Tomorrow
With the B0wLers

T%EAMS around the top in the
War Department Bowling
League are having their trou-
bles these days. During the
mast week one of the first
four teams dropped a match without
winning a game and the three other
quints each lost two games.
So close is the race, however, that
the four teams tied for eighth place
in the 16-team circuit are but four
games behind the leading combination.
Topos are in front with 80 victories
and 25 defeats. Deadlocked in second
place are Statistics and FrankieS, just
A game behind the paCe-setters. Bar
hettes and Quartermasters are tied for
fourth position with 33 wins and II
losses. Sixth place is shared by Hob
bies and Brandies, with 80 triumphs
and 2S reverses. Eighth place is divid-
ed among four teams, Medicos, Audi
tors, Air Service and Engineers. Each
has won 81 games and lost %.
Armies and District Engineers are
deadlocked in twelfth position with %
wins and "a losses. Construction is
fourteenth with % victories against
30 defeats. HowitZers fifteenth with "A
wins against SO defeats and Reproduc-
ton last with 22 victories and 3S
losses.
It's a fine contest any way one looks
at it.
While the Auditors were taking two
from the Topos last week, Dabney of
the victorS set a season record for
the War Department League. He
opened the attack with a game of 1862
And that game did much to take the
heart out of the Topos, it's said.
