MITCHELL

Alex Keiles, Baltimore net vet
eran, proved too crafty for Dooley
Mitchell, one Of Washington's
leading netmen, on the indoor
court yesterday.
Mitchell, defending singles cham
pion in the Maryland State tour
nament, swept the Baltimorean
before him to take the opening
set, So, only to see the Monu-
mentalite rally courageously to
win the next two by Ga scores
and establish himself as favor
ite to win the title.
KeiIeS eliminated Eddie YeO-
mans, another Washington top
nOtcher, in almost the same
manner Friday.
Elmer Rudy, also Baltimore, IS
looked upon as Keiles' likely final
round opponent. Rudy eliminated
Bill Buchanan, of Washington, in
the quarter-final yesterday.
Mitchell and Buchanan disposed

OLD FAVOR|TES.

Old favorites will grace Pro-
moter Joe Turner's wrestling
show at the Washington Audi
torium on Thursday night. OF
all those scheduled for matches,
Chief Son Jennings, an Indian,
is the only one who has not
appeared before Washingtonians.
The topline duel will involve
Dick Shikat, the German, and
Matros Kirilenko, the Russian, in
a finish bout. Kirilenko and Shi-
kat wrestled to a draw in a 30
minute bout here recently and
there were many who thought the
Russian had outpointed the Ger

The other finish match will
feature George Hagen, the dur

Indian can hand out punishment,
too. Probably he's like Chief
white Feather, who doesn't know
the difference between cruelty
and kindness.
Babe Caddock, the wrestling up

battle Ivan Vakturoff, the Rus
sian. Caddock made a hit with
local fans by toppling Nick NeSter

Rudy Valllee of wrestlers, will
tackle George Tragos, the Greek.
Promoter Turner announces that

Saturday Half Days

Now here's the new angle on
the local starting hour which
gives us cause and reason to
bring the matter up for the
third successive season.
Upwards of 10000 Govern
ment employees of Washington
are going to be free on Satur-
days at 1 o'clock from now on.
We wonder if Mr.. Griffith
wouldn't condescend to start
his Saturday games a little
earlier in view of the fact that
instead of having Saturday
half-holidays for three and
four months a year, these TO-
900 potential baseball customers
will have it the year around,
including every Saturday that
the team plays at home!
We do not want to set any
particular starting time for
Mr.. Griff'S shop to open. We
prefer to let the fans set it.
He would listen to them. as
they spend money at his park,
whereas we haven't spent a
dime there in years outside,
well, Of course, who didn't
buy his ticket on Joe Judge
Day?
There will be a lot of Fed
eral workers here this summer
who won't care to hang around
two and a half hours before
game time; in fact, we believe
this group would be in the ma
jority. We believe on the IL Sat
urdays the team is to play at
home that an immense audi
ence of. fans would be highly
pleased if the game could start,
say at 2::30 or even 2 o'clock.

Griff, in the meantime, de-
Clared he had offered Jackie hls

At that, an interview between
him and Prexy Griffith seems
likely.

COACH YOUNG
To DIRECT
PROGRAM
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

With tennis the only regular
intercollegiate competition for
spring, American University is
turning it's attention toward
intramural sports with Walter H.
Young, the athletic director,
supervising the various activities.
Indoor baseball and class bas-
ketball games are already in
progress and Young is partic-
larly interested in the basketball
series, as he hopes to secure var
sity material for the 1882 quint.
Wants Varsity Material
AS the present freshman class
produced no talent for the 1880
81 varsity, Young plans to take
the 10 best freshmen and sopho-
mores in intramural basketball
and give them his personal atten-
ton. They will be drilled for
two weeks in the fundamentals
of basketball and Young will
have them report for varsity bas-
ketbau practice next November.
Warren COliSOn will be the
only regular lost from the var
sity by graduation. Carl Levin
and Chester Carter, reserves,
will also graduate.
Volley ball, tennis, soccer and
bowling are the other sports that
will be placed on the intramural
calendar for the spring. Soccer,
tennis and golf will hold sway in
the fall and basketball and volley
ball in the winter.
Five Tennis Matches
Five matches have been booked
for the tennis team, while other
duels are pending. Johns Hop
kins will be faced in Baltimore
on March 80 and Maryland, at
College Park, on April IT. st.
Johns will be opposed at An
napolis, Md, on April "a, while
the Annapolis collegians come
here May 8. Johns Hopkins will
be met in a return match here
May 4.
American University will build
it's tennis team around John
Woods, Chester Carter, Warren
ColiSon and William Washburn.

'SCHAAF co TEST

NEW YORK, March 9.-The
ten-round scrap between Tommy

Madison Square Garden here Fri
day is the only bout Of any i'm.

To Loughran, victory may mean
a bout with Jack Sharkey, for
Schaaf is handled by Sharkey
and Johnny Buckley. The dread.

career in 1929 when he stopped

delphian again unless he whips
Schaaf deciSively.

then I'll talk to yOu." says
Sailor Jack
Buckley confirmed this recently
when he announced that Sharkey
would box Loughran in an out,
door bout in Philadelphia in Au'
gust if there is any demand for
the match then. First Jack will
probably take on Tuffy Griffith.
We are getting ahead Of our
story, however, for there is no as
surance that Loughran will beat
Schaaf on Friday. Ernie was re
sponsible for two of the four de,
feats on Tommy's record, al.
though the latter outpointed the
blond Bostonian in the first of
their three meetings.
Comparing their performances
against Max Baer, Loughran
would seerl to have an edge on
Schaaf at the present time. The
plodding Schaaf had to make a
strong rally to earn decision
over Max, while Tommy's left jabs

his career.

 The man with whom she had been dancing didn't know who she was. Of that Sue was sure. He had to be kept in his place. And she was too tired to keep anyone in his place.
 "what's the matter?" he asked her. "We're alone. Except for Thornton and some dame down there."
 "who is the girl?" Sue asked lightly enough.
 "Joe Beckley. Used to be a wholesale vamp before she went away. Jack wouldn't take her se- riously. She meant about as much to him as a mechanical dog. She inveigled him out here tonight.

The daily morning routine for beauty's sake should be somewhat of Q ritual.
 Your state of mind has as much to do with your early morning loveliness as anything else.
 Never dash out of bed the sec- ond you come to. Take it easily. luxuriously, lazily. Stretch and yawn and get thoroughly awake before you gallantly throw back the covers and slowly get up.
 After few exercises, cream your face, rub 1t in lightly and leave it on when you stepN Nunder the shower or into the tub. Your skin should not be in need of the thorough cleansing you give 1t nights. It only needs stimulation and a bit of cream and a dash of astringent. Pat cold water onto your face as you bathe. Pat your cheeks and under your chin with an upward motion, too.
 When you get out of the tub, use facial tissues or a towel to re- move all traces of cream and the water you have dashed over it. Then dip 8 piece of cotton into as- tringent and pat the cheeks and under the chin in business-like manner for at least three minutes. This sounds like a short time. It actually seems years the first morn ing you use three minutes up this way.
 After this stimulation, which starts circulation in 100 per cent manner, unless there Is something organically wrong with you, all you actually need is a cream pow der base, unless your skin is very dry. If so, use a complexion cream, a vanishing cream, and see that 1t all but vanishes before putting on your rouge, powder and lipstick.

at 10 o'clock, if that isn't too early we want to go long way, into
 the real country"
 Splendid! And you're really to be married-when is it?" "A week from today" said sCla-
 rissa, blushing.
 Chummy went still redder. Its Alan, Judy darling. He somehow doesn't want to ask any, body-not a soul"
 T quite understand" Judy said. If a things going to be quiet, it had much better be dead quiet. And you see, all the boys would
 want to come"
 Judy was decidedly more like
 herself and Clarissa, now about to enter the very innermost circle of happiness, was elated and trans
 figured, so that she had no fears either for herself or for her be-
 loved little friend.
 The future of Judy was as rosy
 as her own. She would have the
 world at her feet, and then in time she would find love, and she would know that it is the greatest thing of all.
 They drove up to a far corner of Connecticut, where there was a
 sweeping line of great hills. They climbed one of them, leaving the car at the bottom and Alan carry ing the luncheon basket. On the top they were rewarded by a grand view and a sweet cool breeze. They ate and drank like school children.
 Judy was entranced by the wide,
 open spaces, and danced about like
 child of ten.
 Then they laid themselves down on the springy, scented turf, and
 sm oked and talked-at least, Judy and Chummy talked. They strolled about and picked flowers, made a
 wide circle of the summit or the hills, and finally reached the car again, scrambling down steep hillside, exhausted with laughter and exercise and fresh air. Judy was dropped at her rooms after six o'clock, and Alan and Chummy made an appointment to fetch her at half past seven TOT the dinner and theater, which were
 to make a fitting end to this gala
 day.
 1t was 6 little after half past
 seven when Steyne arrived. Judy's room was on the top floor
 of the little house. The front sit- ting room was very scrappily Iur-

 "Oh, don't-don't!" she mur- mured, on the point of collapse. .
 Their lips met. All the world was forgotten in that agoniizng farewell.
 "Goodby, Judy-goodby!"
 "Goodby, Alan-oh, dear, dear love, goodby!"
 Neither of them noticed that the door was pushed open an inch or two. Alan did not know that he had left it ajar; nor were they aware that Clarissa was standing there in the doorway, her lovely face set into a mask of incredulous half closed, as if in an instinctive effort not to see.

I believe in taking children into confidence and telling them about family plans and circumstances, up to @ certain point. believe 1t Is common-sense to teach them that waste is wicked and that thrift (not stinginess) is virtue.
