N LAY in the public high school
- foot ball championship series

ness engaging Western Friday
in Central Stadium at 3:45 O'Clock.
Four more games, all of more than
usual interest, also are booked for the
scholastics during the week.
Business and Western as usual are
figured to fight it out for the cellar
post in the series, and aside from the
students of the schools little interest is
manifest in the game. Because 1t Is
the opening tilt of the season. however
it is probable that it will attract more
attendance than ordinarily.
For those who believe there Is some
thing in comparative scores Gonzaga
drubbed Western, "a to 0, and defeated
Business only to 0. Whether this in
dicates that the Stenogs have the
stronger team remains to be seen. In
other games to date Business took
30 pasting from Swavely, conqueror
of Tech, and Western vanquished Alex
andria High, 10 to 6.
Last season Western Walloped Bust
ness, 81 to 0.
EMERSON will entertain National
II Farm School. a Pennsylvania
eleven, tomorrow afternoon in
Griffith Stadium at $3.50 o'clock. This
game was postponed from yesterday
because of the Maryland-Navy contest.
Eastern and Gonzaga will face in
their annual battle Thursday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock in Eastern Stadium. The
Light Blue and Purple fought to a
6-6 tie last Fall.
Aside from the Business Western en-
counter, a contest between st. Johns
of this city and Calvert Hall of Balti-
more is slated for the Eastern Stadium
Friday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock.
Calvert Hall generally has a formi-
dable eleven and st. Johns Is expected
to find the going tough. Calvert Hall
was a 1877 winner last season.
Emerson will play its second game of
the week Saturday, engaging Wenonah
Military Academy at Wenonah, N. j..
Last Fall the teams struggled to score
less tie.
CENTRAL and Tech, the defending
~ public high champ. are not slated
for action this week, but will get plenty
of hard practice. Centrals opening
series game Is with Eastern week from
Tuesday and Techs first test will be
against western a week lIoIn rIludy.
incidentally, Hap Hardell, Tech coach,
dissatisfied more than is his wont over
the showing of Tech against Swavely
Friday. when Mckinley took a 20-8
beating, is more pessimistic than usual
and claims that the only team he now
feels confident Tech will beat in the
series is Western, and he knows no par
ticular reason why he should feel this
way about the Georgetowners.
"Tech is a greatly overestimated
team" says Hap. Instead of tackling,
all that these guys of ours are doing
is playing tag There's nothing wrong
with the Tech material, but it simply
isn't delivering"

X/OUR Cardinals are in with the
i world base ball championship
with a few sour notes emant-
ing from the grandstand managers.
When Gabby Street failed to send
Grimes in after the sixth session
not a few of base balls cash custo-
mers began to say things which
would have shocked Father Chad
wick and will peeve Judge Lands.
It may have been good horse sense
on the Gabber's part in not shooting the

it did not click with the paying pay

up there were more ST. Looey fans

pockets than was good for the gate re-
ceipts.
While Street and his merry men
may have been done an injustice as
the result of the customers moblliZa-

sign. It indicates the boys are doing
something besides chattering when
they think they have been clipped

of the saddest-looking sleepwalkers

But there are tales of money hidden and

money, rather than take it to the larger centers

bn an old homestead near Huntsville in Madi-
son County, Arkansas.

over a farm left him by his aunt, who in
turn had inherited it from the boys grand

these treasure legends divide themselves into
three cIasseS-the stories Of hidden and aban-
doned rustlers' loot, the tales Of family fortunes
buried when Union or guerilla enemies threat
ened and the stories Of misers savings lying
undisturbed underneath hearthstones and bean
poles
HORSE running or rustling was q profit
able business In the hill country less than
a century ago. Horses stolen m Missouri were
ridden to Texas to be sold. Along the way their
riders stopped at horse-runners' rendezvous,
places secluded in the hills. There the mount
was given rest and food for night, and the
next day another rider rode him away to the
market farther South. These hiding places be-
came well established as the business houriShed,
and presently the rustlers, so the legends say,
used them as places to cache their in-gotten
gold. A cave nearby, perhaps, or large oak
with a decayed cavity afforded snug hiding
place for money that could not be spent.
Horse running is ended in the hills, but the
tales of r1stlers' hidden wealth hnger on,
around the open fires Of the hill mems home
steads, or around the porches of the back
country stores. And so do the rustlers hidfngs,
too perhaps, for none of them seems to have

these old mansions usually is the center of q
local legend Of buried treasure, tales having to
do with the burial of silver and household
valuables, hordes of gold coins hidden to keep
them from a band of hill men that terrorized
the hills during the SOS. Usually the lengends
