The officers are Richard 8. Ten.

Bruce, board of directors.
Soccer Is the fastest growing
sport i'm this country, excepting
golf which is recreation for the
majority of its devOtees. Richard
>. TennYsOn, supervisor of
boys playground activities, is
chiefly responsible for its i'm
petus here. IL Is the faVOrite
winter sport on the Fairgrounds
here.
An illustration as to its impetus
here is offered in the number of
leagues that will operate in this
city during the coming season. Five
leagues are planned. with the pros.
pect that sixth will be formed.
There will be the Recreation
League, Capital City League,
Service League, Washington Soccer
League and Junior League. The
Washington Soccer League, which
numbered IL teams divided into
two sections, was the only circuit
here last year.
1t is. proposed to recruit the
Recreation League from former
playground addicts. These teams
would probably include Happy Hol-
low, Park View, Plaza. George
town, Bloomingdale, Rosedale and
Virginia Avenue.
The Capital City League would
have six teams taken from
the Washington Soccer League,
possibly the GeTman-!American
Reserves, British Uniteds, Scot
tish Clan, Rockville, ROsedale.
Then there will be a Service
League consisting of teams from
the Array Medical Center, Fort
Washington, Quantico Marines,
Fort Myer and possibly Fort Hum.
phreys and Washington Barracks.
The Washington Soccer League
would comprise Walfor6, three.
time District champions; Monroe,
Concord, German.American Mari.
boro and another team to be added
later.
The outlook Is bright for the
sixth league as Concords and
Scottish-Cla may produce another
team. It ID also likely that an
lrish-Ameriean eleven will be
handed and that teams from Laurel,
Md. and Hyattsville will enter.

There looms very strong POSSIBLE
ity in the minds of the football
coaching staff of Georgetown Uni.
vereity that the Blue and Gray win
again have an aIl-American repre-.
sentative when the picking and
choosing is done at the end Of the
approaching season. .
Last fall Harry Babe" ConnauSh-
ton, Georgetown guard. was univer-
sally recognized for one of those
positions, and there Is more than a
slight possibility that Claude Grigs-
by, the TiIden High School Chicago
lad, may get such recognition here
after the next six months go into
history.
Despite the spirit of gloom which
hovers over those in charge of CIV
ing Georgetown elevens which will
compare well with the 1925 and '26
entries. there Is an unmistakable air
of jubilatlon over the individual
merits of several of the lads in
training here. and not the least of
these is Grigsby, one of the most
feared middlemen in the east II the
word OF opposing coaches last year
and visiting coaches this year can
be taken as 4 criterion.

Herb Knopf declared that the Navy

Grigsby was more feared by the

So certain gentlemen Of the grid

over Grigsby's general excellence in
the center position and their ideas

a vital date ahead, and women with
shopping bags and lidded baskets
fused as If stores and markets were
liable to fly away.
Most Of the men fumed out to see
what was going on--as If they couldnt
hear--and a couple lighted cigarettes
as If the delay gave them the right
TO smoke. Women GRAINED necks out
of open windows, and a flock of chill
dren who were going on a picnic be-
gan to whimper for lunches packed
in shoe boxes and try to unfasten the
strings.
One mother deserved a medal. She
gave her sandal-footed son meaning
look that sobered him into docility,
told the other members of the picnic
party that they had oceans of time
and took the littlest girl on her lap
and began to tell her a story.
One man was especially indignant.
He told the car, generally, that the
delay was costing him money. And
when he said money, money was what
he meant. And. what's more. if the
stop delayed a business deal he had
on hand. the company would have a
pretty penny to pay, for he would at
once sue it for damages, and any
body who wanted to know what sum
he got for having to wait like this
had only to look in the papers-and
SO on.
Then, all at once, the hammers gave
a final strike to the accompaniment
of a last melodious boom, and the
anvil chorus was over. The car spun
along with easy swiftness to the 18th
street stop, where the shoppers and

he stepped out on the asphalt, he met

and fill up at a car junction-and
while the process was going on. the
man with an important date on hand
lit a cigarette, and with his friend
strolled to the curb, where they could
gossip at their leisure.
All of which was noted by two plain
women whom Paris of the apple or
the present day judges on peach con-
tests would have thrown out on sight.
All the same, they. were having an
enjoyable ride together-which shows

Immediately after conclusion of its

willing and ready TO cooperate toward
the elimination of this nuisance. They
found the city engineers dreaming
dreams of the not distant day when
co-ordinated city plans and co-ordl-
mated city appropriations will permit
the surveying and grading of streets
and the laying of water mains and
service sewers in new communities.
The problem that the women have
accepted is to make these dreams come
true.

vention. the American home depart
ment of the District federation is 60

and. as has been done by the women
of Rhode Island and other States, OBJ

In Washington these appropriations
must be obtained from Congress, with
