Burke Tells RandIe Highlands
Group Hunger Marchers
Are Communists.

Inspector Frank s. w. Burke, chief
Of detectives, characterized the hunger
marchers as bunch of Communists
seeking publicity" in a speech last night
f1fore the Randle Highlands Citizens
association.
The detective chief spoke generally
on the hunger marchers and said police
plans had been perfected for dealing
with the army, but declined to make
them public.
The association passed a resolution
urging an addition to the number of
policemen assigned to the eleventh pre-
cinct, which includes Randle High
lands. 1t was pointed out that No. II
covers the largest territory of any pre-
cinct in the city and there are not
enough officers to adequately protect
the interests Of those living south of the
AnacoStia River.
A resolution was also approved asking
proper Fairgrounds facilities for the
Randle Highlands area. There are no
Fairgrounds at the present time for
younger children, the association dis
closed, the only play places being ath-
letic fields In the Anacostia Parkway,
maintained by the Federal Government
and not by the District of Columbia.
The question Of rearranging the
streets in the park vicinity also was
taken up. A study of this problem is
now being made by the Washington
Board Of Trade, in conjunction with an
association committee headed by Yer
non N. Snoper.
Police Capt. Frank NJ Dent, retired,
former commander of the eleventh pre-
cinct, thanked members of the associa-
ton for their whole-hearted support Of
the Community Chest. He said the
group had oversubscribed its quota by
AZ per cent.

dent, presided over the meeting, which
was held in the Orr School, Twenty

Both Teams Set for Best
Effort of SeasonEm-
eralds Made Best Show
ing to Date

The last fash Of busy basket
ball season in Waterbury will be
made tomorrow afternoon when
the Brooklyn A. C.'s defending
championship array faces their
most persistent challengers. Naug-
atuck's Emeralds for the 1882
hoop honors Of the City Amateur
League. The challengers, by virtue
of their showing in their last three
contests with the Dumschott squad
has little edge In choice, but both
teams will take the floor full of con
fidehce.
Went The Limit
It has been necessary to schedule
three games to decide the title this
season, due to the late season rush
of the Emeralds which gave them
two wins out of the last three
games against the Blue and White
lads. The Emeralds smothered their
rivals to gain second round honors,
and then forced the Brooklyns to
go overtime to beat them, in the
first play-off contest. Last Sunday
the teams met again, and 1t was
Naugy that won and deserved to, a
matter Of five points separating the
teams at the finish of regulation
time. Tomorrow they meet again,
for the fourth and last time in sue
cession, the winner to be named,

1892, the big basketball title of the
season in this city.
No Changec
Neither team will depart to any
extent from their regular style Of
play the Naugy lineup including
Stokes center, johnson and Cesliew-
ski at forward and Rozint and Sam
borski in the back court. Against
them will be Swasey at center, Car
rol and Dunn at forward, Sheehan
and Magner at guard. Substitutes of
both teams are more than likely
to see service. Practice several
times this week has been the order
for both teams, the final workout
for Brooklyn being cards for o.
