Holton Arms earned second place with
three victories and one defeat. Ma
tional Park Seminary also had q sue
cessful season, though that sextet did
not compete in so many local games as
did the first two named. Fairmont,
Eastman, Friends, Madeira and Mount
Vernon Seminary each picked varsity
squads and held brief schedules. Mount
Vernon. playing the annual game with
Madeira, was victorious by 1925
count.
after he left.
In addition to this varsity basket ball,
all OF the private schools held interclass
series.
High school competition was restrict
ed, as usual, entirely to interclass and
intersectional games, each of the high
schools having basket ball on Its major
sports calendar.
Independent games were played by
various teams and clubs about town,
and the usual Washington Recreation
League schedule was staged late in the
Winter, the Eagles winning the senior
series without a defeat.
Fenclng has kTown steadily in popu-
larlty during the past two years. and
the second annual District of Columbia
Womens fencing championships, staged
last May, brought out some high-caliber
Toll play. Jean Builtman of Fairmont
Seminary won the title over Christine
Ekengren, former champion.
George Washington and American
University formed varsity hockey squads
ana engaged In short schedules this
FAN. Holton Arms, Madeira, Mount
vernon Seminary and Friends School
also had occasional matches on their
books, but no formal interschool series
was staged.
Junior high school athletes of the
iair sex concentrated upon track, base
ball, soccer, volley ball and mass ath-
!etics, their big event being the inter-
Junior high school track and field meet
last Spring, in which jefferson Junior
High successfully defended its title by
corralling the largest point score.
A shadow was cast over the sphere
OF women's sports in ths District this
past June by the passing of Mrs. Vir-
glnia Hopkins Russell physical educa-
ton director at George Washington
University, president OF the Washington
Field Hockey Association and outstand-
ing ngure In the local feminine sport
world. No one gave more generously
OF her time, her enthusiasm and her
energies to the promotion of clean
sports and high standards than did this
24-year-old director. whose place in the
hearts OF Washington sportswomen can-
not be filled.

HORSE LOVERS
ENJOY SEASON

Horse lovers of washington and Vi
cinity have had their innings during
1929.
Many residents of the Capital have
exhibited horses at various shows, in
Guiding those conducted by the Wash
ington Riding and Hunt Club. This
club also has staged highly successful
drags, which have been participated in
by more riders than usual. Maj. w. M.
Grimes, the new master of hounds, and
John Finerty and Mrs. F.. M. Andrews,
the whips, have done much to make the
rides successful.
Miss Mango Couzens' horse Dixie'S
Child doubtless has the brightest record
among Washington show horses for the
year. Perhaps the most notable award
won by DiXie's Child was in the hunt
er'S stake at Detroit last Summer. The
horse also gained honorS at the shows
at Upperville, Leesburg and Culpeper,
Va.
Karl w. Corby, Charles Carrico, Ray
Norton, Maj. Harry Leonard, Miss Win
fired West and Eugene Meyer were
some OF the other exhibitors.
Melvin G. HAGEN, District surveyor, is
chairman Of the committee Of the
Washington Riding and Hunt Club in
charge OF the monthly show to be held
by the club next Saturday, other mem
berS of the committee being Charles
Drayton, Mrs. F. M. Andrews, Miss
Winifred West, Miss Margo Couzens
and Miss Elizabeth Jackson More than
100 took part in last months show.

1929 SEASON BEST EVER
FOR d. C.. FAIRGROUNDS

7 F the busy playground directors have
time at this season of the year for
brief retrospective, they may look
Il back over the past IL months with
a feeling of "a job well DONE" for
the year 1929 was by far the best that
has been enjoyed by the Municipal
Playground Department.
More children and grown-ups fire.
Quented the Fairgrounds, and as a nat
ural consequence more activities had to
be promoted to care for the newcomers.
One of the high lights of the play
ground year was the horseshoe tourna-
ment sponsored by The Star and held
on the Fairgrounds. 1t was the first
time that a tourney Of this kind had
been held, but despite this a surprising
total OF 1858 persons, virtually all
adults, took part in the eliminations on
~ Fairgrounds. Charles A. Fort won
the Washington championship but was
beaten in the grand finals by M. E..
Peake OF Maryland after conquering the
Virginia champion, Alexander Kirchner.
With The Star horseshoe tournament
and other added features, the total Of
a. 1853 children and adults took part in
special competitions during the year on
Fairgrounds. an increase of 5,13l over
1928. Naturally many others used the
play fields, but the number mentioned
took part In special activities.
Other new events that bolstered the
number were a senior branch in the
boys tennis .tournament-only juniors
played in l928-seven additional con-
ference meets. and a marathon and
field day at Takoma Park on July 4.
The marathon was won by William
Agee of Baltimore. and for his victory
The Star awarded him silver trophy,
to be kept for period Of one year.
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor
of Fairgrounds, is a firm believer in
encouraging parents to use the play
ground facilities as far as possible
Consequently in the evening the tennis
and horseshoe courts and the base ball
fields were found to be populated by a
mixed crowd OF youngsters and grown
ups.
Along this line was the work done by
the playground ONCE in aiding in the
promotion Of the senior soccer leagues
the Soccer Association and the Girls
Recreation Basket Ball League.
The Fairgrounds promoted interschool
and interclass games in the elementary
schools in base ball. schlag, dodge,
track, basket ball, soccer, neucomb and
field ball, and named champions In
each.
The following city. champions were
crowned by the Playground Department
during the past year:

District championship and starred in
the meet here in which the Century
Road Club won over the Maryland BIZ

THERE was much athletic activity
at Howard University and among
the colored high schools OF the
i District this year. More sports
than ever were fostered by the
collegians, while the scholaStics put
fine teams on the field, and compett-
ton for their championships was keen.
Basket bal land foot ball were con-
tinued at Howard, and swimming and
soccer introduced. Base ball and track
sports were discontinued early in the
Spring, due to a deficit in the athletic
treasury. For the first time in six
years Howard failed to send relay
team to the Penn games.
Howard basketers won % games and
lost IL. Among the Howard CUNTS
victims was Morehouse. Southern Con-
ference champion. Two OF the series
OF three games with Lincoln University
were won by Howard.
The foot ball eleven did not fare so
well. There were but two letter men in
the varsity squar, the other players be-
ing sophomores and freshmen. The
team was coached by Thomas Verdell,
former Northwestern University player,
handling foot ball squad for the flrSt
Tune. Howard lost seven games, but
played two scoreless ties, one with Its
old rival. Lincoln.
The first colored intercollegiate SWIM

LITTLE ACTIVITY
AMONG GUESTS

There has been little formal compe-
tition on the green cloth among the cue
wielders In the District this year. No
title tournaments were held for the
balkline, three-cushion or straight-rail
billiard players and the tournament to
decide the District pocket billiard
champion for the year will not be I'M
ished until late this week.
Eddie ESpey, youngster, Is in the
lead In the pocket billiard tourney at
present. Others still regarded in the
running for the title are Isadore Cohen,
Robert Wright, Gus Smyth, Leonard
Croker and Lawson Grimm.
No exhibitions of Importance were
given here during the year. The cue
masters sidestepped the National Cap
ital and only few second-rate pocket
billiard exhibitors showed their wares.

" no sport rivaled basket ball
for popularity among the
fair athletes of the District during the
1929 season. Intramural. interscholaS-
tic intercollegiate and interleague court
programs drew thousands of girls and
women into competition on basket ball
floors all over the city.
Hockey, fencing, soccer, archery,
track, rife and swimming came in for
their share of attention by the girls,
especially those of school age, but no
one of these was INDUCED in to the ex-
tent of basket ball.
George Washington University had
the outstanding college team of the
city and won the majority of it's games,
losing only to the strong Swarthmore
and William and Mary squads. Gallau-
Diet and American University held brief
interscholastic schedules, also, but were
not so successful as George Washing
ton. though each won some well earned
victories.
The most extensive interschool
schedule was that of the seminary
squads, several of which played out-of-
town teams as well as other local sex

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. A
searching Investigations of law vio-

ment of Anne Arundel county af.
fairs in particular, loom as the re-
suit Of the drawing of the panel of
jurors for the October term Of the
circuit court with f. Churchill Muir
ray, as foreman of the grand inquest
by designation of Judge Robert Moss.
The court term begins October 81.
Murray. who Is in his thirties, is a
resident of the first district. but
is engaged in the insurance business,
with offices in Annapolis. He is
president of the Taxpayers League
OF the county, an organization
formed a little less than three years
ago for the primary purpose OF keep
ing abreast Of county affairs and
securing good government.
The league had its inception dur
ing the legislative session of 1927.
Complaints Many
Complaints are frequently heard
of unsatisfactory conditions exist
ing about practically every office in
the court house, lax methods, inef-
ficiency, ETC., in spite of the fact
that the number of employees now
on the county payroll is probably
four times greater than a few years
ago.
Violations of the liquor law have
been rampant and multitude of
cases comes up at every session of
the grand jury, but the large major.
ity of these are developed from raids
by Federal prohibition agents.
Another matter. it is believed, the
investigating body will probe
thoroughly is the road houses, dis.
orders at which places have been
frequent.
Push Epstein Case
OF the criminal actions to be
probed by the grand inquest, the
greatest interest will be focused on
the case of Meyer Epstein, confessed
hit.and-run driver. now in jail
States Attorney A. Theodore
Brady has announced that he will
seek Epstein's conviction on a man
slaughter. The case has engendered
a good deal of feeling here.
