POTOMAC. NET
TEAM HARD
PRESSED
By GINO SINH

A man may be down, DuC ne
isn't out until that doleful tenth
numeral is completed.
Potomac Park netmen, who
have been setting red-hot pace
in leading the Public Parks Tennis
League this season, ruefully realize
the truthfulness of that fact.
All summer they have been CIV
ing the Henry Park aggregation,
last years champions the merry
ha-ha, but early in August they
started to falter badly. Simultane-
ously Henry hit a winning stride.
Last Saturday the two arch
enemies met and Henry tri-
umphed 4 matches to 2, with three
doubles rained out.
Rain Interfered
This put Henry only three games
behind the leaders and with the
three postponed matches to be
played, things look plenty dark
for the rivermen. /
The Potomac can partly blame
their present predicament on
the rain. Early in the season
they were forced to postpone 1S
matches with MOntrOse because.
of rain.
Montrose now is also in a
threatening position, due to the
postponed matches. Henry has
three matches to play with Mont
rose, besides nine matches against
Taft, an easy victim.
Henry Aces Ready
The HenryS with Considine, Sci
dell and Deck and several other
crackerjacks on hand are conf
dent of victory.
Montrose must win at least IL
of their 18 matches with Potomac
to forge ahead of Henry, not an
easy assignment by any means.
However, Maurice O'NeiIl, PO-
tOmac'S captain, isn't worried.
Gene Herman, Bob Elliott and he
himself are playing a fine brand
Of tennis and are capable of
beating all but one or two Of
their opponents best players.
Henry and Potomac will play
their three postponed matches
next week, and Potomac and Mont
rose may play nine of their Ii
matches also some afternoon dur
ing the week. Present standings;

The post-season inter-tennis
league playoff for the city title
will not be staged until late Sep
tember or early october because
of the situation in the Public
Parks League. Henry is defend
ing city champion.

PRINTERS BEAT
BUILDERS, 60

The Government Printing Of
flee nine, champions of the Gov
ernment League, showed that they
are no weak contender for The
weekday League title yesterday,
when they downed the Construc-
tioneerS, Industrial League lead
ers, in their debut in the cham
pionShip series, 6 to 5.
Jewett, pitching for the Build
ers, held the G. P. O.'S to six hits,
but the Typos made the most Of
them, and it was Gartland's hit in
the eighth, together with the balk
Of Catcher "Tubby" Ault, of the
ConStructioneers. in the third. that
turned the tide of victory in favor
of the Printers.
The balk was very useful to
the winners. 1t helped to start
q three-run rally in the third
frame, with two out, and to
put new pep into the Printers.
The Builders came back in the
next inning to tie the count
with q pair Of tallieS, but this
was q signal for the lusty Typo
bats to be ready at any time
for heavy duty, and ready they
were in the lucky seventh, and
two runs that were made by
them helped plenty. The runs
made by the Builders following
this were beSted by the one the
Printers scored in the eighth,
and the Typos came out win
nerS, 6-5.
Play in this series will continue
next Tuesday, when the Construc-
tioneers engage the Eldbrooke

tackles in preparation for one
last grand charge upon the finny
tribe in nearby waters Labor Day.
Where dozens of anglers
swarmed hayward over the past
weeks, hundreds will do so start
ing tonight until early Monday
morning.
The exodus will be under auspi-
ciouS conditions, for. from all
fronts, comes reports that the fish
art biting like nobody's business
and acting mighty belligerent
about it, too.
Art Logan, the angler who keeps
in fishing trim during the winter
by putting up a pretty fair bowl
ing exhibition, has first claim to
our ears.
Art headed young bowling
army to Point Lookout and there
exhorted them to commit assault
and battery on lis denizens OF the
deep.

four hardheadS at Cedar Point.
Leo CalIaghan maintains that
he never sunk his mOlarS i'm

son warns fishermen to get
way cut in the bay. They
centered their activities more
than two miles from shore.

Veterans Bureau workers caught
about so fine-looking specimens
at Herring Bay. Sam and Frank

mer did not have the luck they
expected at Tilghman's Island, re-
turning with only Is finSters,
though all were large.
DR., Runkle and Dan Vermillion
caught a fine mess of trout and
hardheads and two big taylors at
Rock Point. Ellis Conn shared
several big trout at Horses Land

KEYS to Unlock Unfamiliar Books

simple, has an essential part In our
lives.
It is probable that libraries are used
as much for pleasure as profit. Since 1t
is true that there is profit in reading
good books the line between these two
things, pleasure and profit, is a bit
vague. In our present consideration
pleasure Is synonymous with recreation,
while profit has to do with study and
work.
Whenever a person Is doing research
work in any line, libraries must be con-
suited Librarians are glad to aid in
this, for 1t is appreciated that here Is
where the library is indispensable. 1t Is
mine to be worked for a researchers
benefit.
Any woman who has had to prepare
papers for clubs knows that she must
go to some library to acquire or verify
information on her chosen or aScribed
topics. When she first does this she
is amazed at the things she finds of
interest and help. She has begun to
use the key to unlock the reference
books. The volumes may not be CLASH
fed under reference books, but they
become so to her In her particular
work.
Mothers should encourage children,
as do teachers, to consult libraries when
preparing school work that delves into
the past or has technicalities requiring
special understanding. Often an en-
tirely new range of pleasure books Is
opened when exploring volumes that
are first consulted for study Novels

is to be found In reading

world who have never been contra
dicted IN their lives No one has ever
told them an unpleasant truth. They
grew up in nice, refined households with
courteous men all around them. They
never had to do any work. If they did
anything wrong 1t upset the household,
but they were the head of the house
hold so that didn't matter. They grew
old thinking themselves perfect human
beings. But they have been terribly
hard to live with. Their husbands are
bored with them, or are dead. Their
married children avoid them. They live
with paid companions. There are thou
sands Of them in the expensive hotels
of America and Europe. They made
poor wives because they were too self
satisfied to get the point Of view OF
the men they married.
When a girl goes out to work for
living nobody minds telling her the
truth, no matter how unpleasant. She
hears lot more truth than she needs.
If she does anything wrong she hears
about it promptly. Politely, perhaps,
but definitely and clearly. All the little
curlings of conceit which she has
brought up from childhood shrivel up
and die before the cold criticism of her
bosses. And what one boss likes the
next one doesn't.

Garnishes on Small Plot

YOUR kitchen garden may vary all
the way from a cultivated patch
from which you may get all the vege-
tables you need for the family 10 a
little window box or back porch bed of
parsley. The usual sort of kitchen gar
den Is one that comes somewhere be-
tween these two extremes.
If you are not going to grow every
thing, then plan to grow just the things
that require perfect freshness, and
things that are higher priced in the
vegetable stores. Leave such things as
rotatoes carrots, common onions and
you have provided an adequate supply
of lettuce, Spring onions. radishes, GU
cumbers, tomatoes, peas
Other things that may be found use
ful in the small garden are the less
usual salad green's, seeds fer which
may be obtained from any seed con-
Germ; beets, asparagus, sea kale, rhu-
barb, globe artichoke, early cabbage and
caulidower.
An experienced gardener advises
changing the position Of the crops from
season to season. Where you grew
green stun last year, grow roots this
year, and where you had beets and
radishes last year, grow lettuce and sea
kale this.
Much satisfaction may be gained
from q herb and seasoning garden,
which requires very little attention. A
collection Of the usual herbs may be
bought from some Of the seed concerns,
while it Is sometimes possible to get
small roots Ct some of the herbs from
other gardens, which, given an oppor-
tunity, will spread into an adequate
supply In your own garden.

joram, chives, chervie and mint all
yield flavors that provide interesting
variety to the seasoning of various
dishes. 1t is interesting to see how
many of these may be obtained and
made use of.
The window box idea is worth taking
seriously. You can grow parsley there
as well as in the ground. And mint,
too. You can buy few mint plants
and raise the parsley from seed.
OF course, you must keep the win
dow box garden from drying out. And
another thing to remember with this
sort Of window garden, as with any
other. Occasionally add little fresh
soil. Rain and wind take soil away
from the window box, and once in a
while 1t Is, therefore, a good plan to
sprinkle o handful or a trowelful of
fresh earth over the window box sur
face.

poor sport the girls will ostracize her.
If she does poor work, the boss will fire
her.
Now when girl like that marries she
is likely to remember that her husband
may have as many rights as she has.
She doesn't expect a magic carpet at
her feet. She expects to give as much
as she gets.
She knows that when she undertakes
to do q thing, like having dinner at Z
o'clock, that means and not ITO or
tbs. She has learned promptness and
order. But the big thing lies In that
one sentence she is likely to give
as much as she gets. That's pretty
good beginning for q successful mar
riage.
If there were such a thing as Stats
tics showing the number of business
women who marry and are divorced, I
have a notion the figure would be big
enough. but that doesn't make any diff
ference in what 1 say here. A business
woman would get divorce more quick
~ than another woman because she can
make a living for herself afterward
And that thought helps to make good
husbands of the men who marry bus
ness wives.

concerts you will find in the audience
music lovers Of all stations. The late
Speaker Nicholas Longworth seldom
missed q concert. Former Senator
Phipps of Colorado always could be
spotted, as could those two accom-

Then followed q cooperative effort

Since the war three attempts have
been made to organize q symphony
orchestra in the Capital. Kurt Het2el
tried several years, gave few con-
