at Gonzaga at 8 o'clock are high spots
of the schoolboy athletic card here
about tomorrow. Central and Eastern
are favorites.
Ordinarily the Georgetown Prep-St.
Johns game, also carded tomorrow,
would attract much interest, but the
Kaydets are so far below par this sea-
son they're expected to offer the
game to be played on the st. Johns
floor.
Other encounters are to bring to-
gether Western and Takoma- Silver
Spring High at Silver Spring and
Emerson and Washington-Lee fresh

half, crumbled before the bewilder-
ing attack launched by the Blue in

81 decision. Buddy Nau, Ollie Upton

under The Stars auspices, in Tech
High gym.
Given, reminded that Central beat
the Old Dominion youngsters early in
the season, grinned.
You can throw that out" he said.
Our team, as 1t stands now, figures to
make any Of EN- step. The Alexandria
boys have come along fast, both indi-
vidually and as q team"
- KNOW Central has fine record"
i he added. Better, probably, than
any of the other three teams to
play in the tournament, but past per-
formanceS don't mean much in such a
play-of. One defeat and you're out.
An inferior team with hot hand
often comes on top in sudden death
competition like this"
And II morale Is o major asset,
Given's lads really must be reckoned
with by Centrals District championship
team, not to speak of Hyattsville and
Bethesda Chevy Chase, which also win
try for the first Metropolitan public
high school title ever competed for by
the basket ballers.
Given, who Is making q Statewide
reputation for turning out winners, has
his present combination believing itself
on the way places.
IN three years as coach at Alexandria
i in basket ball, base ball and foot ball
none Of his teams has finished
lower than In tie for championship
honors in Section of the third ath-
1etic district of Virginia.

was on the level-a fine pitcher and
a fine sportsman.
Kerr got comparatively little sal
ary in 1919. In 1920 he held out for
small increase, but the Chicago
club ignored him. In 1921 Kerr
again made overtures to the White
Sox, but there was more sympathy
wasted on the hoodlums who had
sold out to the gamblers than there
was concern over the fate of the
pitcher who had gone straight.
Some years ago Kerr tried q come

The large lumber plant operated by
I. l.. Shannon Brothers Co. at Plckens
has started operations after an idle
period of the past few months. A large
number of men are in the woods in the
adjoining areas of the county getting
timber cut for the mill. The activity
means that good payroll will be in the
community again as the weekly wages
are distributed. The mill employs a
large force of men who aid in operations
both the yards and woods. The in
creased employment brought about by
the beginning of the work at the mill
again has added to the business activ-
ity of the town which has always en-

CHICAGO, July 29.-It was ham
and egg time when Rogers Hornsby
walked into the main dining room
of the Del Prado hotel Friday and
made his first contact with the
players of the St. Louis Browns.
whom he will manage for the rest
of this season and the next two.
Around the tables. where they
sat in twos and threes, Hornsby,
staggering his old-time brusque
confidence, called TO greet each
player with smile, ball PLAYERS
handclasp. and a Hello. buddy,
How'reya."
Hornsby radiated the enthusiasm
of rookie making his first appear
ance in the big show. and nothing
at all like man who has spent
eighteen years in the National
League, managed three clubs-the
Cardinals. Braves and Cubs-and
barely found a minor job as a util-
ity player with the Cardinals last
winter after being fired as Cubs
manager.
The players welcomed Hornsby
enthusiastically.
There won't be any immediate
changes in the ast-plsce Browns.
III just get acquainted with the
players for few days said Horns
by. L may not make any changes
in the batting order or lineup for
sometime. I'm building for next
year, and therell be no radical
changes now"
One of the few members of the
Browns whom Hornsby knows is
Allan Sothoron, coach and acting
manager since Bill Killefer's dis
missal in Washington recently.
Sothoron. who played under Horns
by when Rajah managed the Card
insls in 1926, will be retained as
coach.
Hornsby plans to be a PLAYING
manager. but will only use himself
as pinch hitter and utility fielder.
