write this recently to
an unfortunate woman
who informed me that
her great-grandfather
was George Washing
ton and her great
grandmother was Mary
Gibbons; that she bore
a striking likeness to
George Washington,
and that she was in
something of a hurry
for the information, as
she understood that the
time limit on the in
heritance was almost
up.
I had to write to her
that Mary Gibbons was
a pure invention or
rather, an impure in
Vention-a bit of mill
tary propaganda. Mill
tary lies were not the
invention of the World
War by many thou
sands of years. Our
Revolutionary War was
full of falSehood, and
lies were created out
of whole cloth on both
sides. Many of the lies
our propagandistS in
vented about the Brit
ish are still in circula-
ton, and many of the
lies the British scat
tered about our people
are not yet dead of
oyerWork. Most of the
British fictions were
devised by American
loyalists who had fled
to England and knew
enough about American
affairs to give their
stories a certain plausi-
bility.
Mary Gibbons is their
most picturesque crea-
ton. In 1776, when
Washington came on
to New York with his
troops, after driving
the British out of BoS-
ton, a conspiracy to
assassinate him was
uncovered in time, and
one of his own body
guard, Thomas Hickey,
was hanged.
Many persons were
involved in the con-
spiracy by rumor, false
or true, and it appar-
emily struck some Tory
refugee in London that
a doctored version of
the plot and the trial
would make good read
ing and have some in
f1uence in belittling the
patriots. I have a fac

ing to a real woman
that she was the de-
scendant of somebody
who never existed,
Furthermore, of course
I had to explain that
Washington's will has
been often published,
and, though it is very
long and mentions q
great number of bene-
ficiaries, there is no al
fusion to Mary Gibbons
or any direct heir.
Fin ally, Washington
stated in writing that
he had never had q
child and had given up
expectation of ever hav-
ing one.
OF course, genealogy
is packed with descents
from imaginary fore
fathers, but Mary Glib
bons was peculiarly un-
real.
Yet she was by no
means the only child
foiSted on Washington
by fabulists. I am con-
stantly being informed
Of some spurious de-
scendant of his. Capt,
later Gen., PoSey was
one. He had a very
honorable career and
his sister Milly was a
fr eque mt visitor at
Mount Vernon as the
friend of Nelly Gusts,
but we have only gos-
sip to take him away
from his own father.
Gossip is the greatest
of all inventors and
can build a whole biog-
raphy out of a whisper.
Washington has been
peculiarly the victim OF
gossip. Some of it IS
meant to tear down his
well earned reputation
for virtue, and it was
rife in his own day.

r INSPIRED by Ray Barnes sem
sational triumph in the United
| States SweepstakeS-a victory
which salvaged quite por--
ton of Baltimore's bowling pres
tige-another pair of orioles, Ray
Won Dreele and Ed Blakeney, will
attempt, in the Howard Campbell
Sweepstakes, starting Saturday, to
complete the rout of the jinX
that Washington bowlers seem to
hold over Baltimore pinmen this
season and carry back to the
Monumental City another coveted
pin crown.
The presence of Won Dreele and
Blakeney, two of Baltimores best, will
mark the first time in the history OF
the classic Campbell Stakes that out
of-town bowlers will be represented,
and two more dangerous invaders hard
ly could be found.
The names of approximately so star
bowlers today were submitted by How
ard Campbell as certain entrants in the
big money battle, and listed among
them were Won Dreele and Blakeney,
who will be eligible to compete be-
cause, due TO the fact that they roll
in the District League, they come under
the Jurisdiction of the Washington City
Duckpin Association.
Until Barnes scored his brilliant
~ victory in the U. S. Sweepstakes
Baltimore pinmen were becoming
almost calloused to the beatmgs IN
f1icted this season by local poWlerS.
Barnes broke the jinx and now Blake
ney and Won Dreele will be out to fol-
low that triumph up with another just
as important.
In fact, from Washingtonian's point
Of view, triumph for either OF these
two in the classic stakes would De a
dose more bitter than Barnes WIN n
the National Stakes. Since its ncep-
ton in 1927, none but local boWlers
have been eligible to compete IN the
Campbell Sweepstakes. 1t was Wash
ington's own"
Victory for either Won Dreele OF
Blackeney, although they have every
right to compete, would be touching
tender spot here. Though they roll In
the District League, being imported
every week to roll with Northeast Tenn
pie and the Fountain Hams, these PIN
men are bona fide products OF wash
ington's friendly but keen bowling
rival and two consecutive major sweep
stakes to Baltimore would more than
wipe away those many interclty bowl
ing triumphs scored earlier this season.
THE Lucky Strike will be the scene
l. OF the first five-game block Of the
15-game affair to start Saturday.
The second block will be rolled at the
Rendezvous and the third at ConVen-
ton Hall. The starting time In each
case will be 1880 o'clock.

At present four men are under con-
Sideration. They are Cyclone Burns or

which is expected to draw around 1000
fans, very much the under dog, but
the Hungarian Is expected to extend
Londos, which is at least more than
most matmen are capable of doing.
The preliminarieS are unusually at

BATTALIN0 PRESSED
TO TAKE OFF WEIGHT
Feather Champ Scaling From 140-
Pound Glass to 1875 in a Hurry
for Feldman Go.

NEW YORK, January 6.-The hula
baloo over Schmeling's arrival has
caused that featherweight champion
ship bout in the Garden on Friday
night to do something of a fadeout.
1t is always that way when a heavy
weight champion is in the neighbor-
hood. In case you have forgotten, Bat
Battalino is to lay his title on the line
so that Young Lew Feldman may have
shot at it.
Though Feldman does not loom up as
formidably as Kid Chocolate, Fidel La
Barba and Earl MAESTRO, all of whom
failed to lift the crown, the Brooklyn
boy will have one advantage the others
did not enjoy. The match rather took
Bat by surprise. as he was figuring on
an over the-weight affair and allowed
himself to grow up above the 140-pound
mark
Getting down from 143 or IA to 126
in 10 days is no cinch, especially when
the trick must be done in 10 days Bat
talino's chief asset is his ruggedness. II
he is weakened making the weight Field
man will have better chance than did
those who faced the champion after he
scaled down gradually.

CHICAGO, January CP).-Chi-
- cagos Public School Athletic
League has cut its championship
basket ball schedule by half to aid
the Board of Education in its strug-
gle to reduce expenses.
A school board ruling that all
public high schools must be closed
by 5 pm, to conserve light and
heat, caused the athletic league to
abandon the doubleheader schedule,
in which lightweight and heavy
weight teams of the same pairs Of
schools were to have met. Under
the new schedule the same dates
will be reserved, with only one
game and the lights and heavies al
ternating.
