WITH JONES
On MAT

A wrestle roundup Of pleasing
talent tonight will be offered
local enthusiasts on Joe Turner's
weekly schedule at the Washing
ton Auditorium.
Leading off with a finish go
invSlving Hans Kampfer, German
sensation, and Paul Jones, Turner
offers another piece de resistance
in the routed 45-minute semifinal
bringing together Ernie Dusek
and Everett Marshall.
Hans Is Confident
Kampfer, acclaimed throughout
the East and Midwest as a
clean-cut performer, anticipates
no little difficulty in his grapple
with Jones.
That the bristling Dusek-Mar
shall semi-final should resolve it
self into one of the finest
wrestling bits of the indoor sea
son is conceded by mat authori
ties. Decidedly on the upgrade
and roundly respected by the
heavyweight top Fighters, both
boys will be riSking brilliant rec
ords in this rough-and-tumble.
Though not so much of a
brawler. as Dusek, Marshall, when
the occasion demands, can bruise
it out with the best of them.
Time-Limit Bouts
Time-limit bouts star willing
mixers and clever workers. Frank
JudSon, big hit of many a show
here, breaks into action against
one Dick Raines, a newcomer
here, in the standout of three
supplementary grapples. Raines

Dallas. Tex. is preceded by bally

"This has had a great psyche

this spring / find his mental at
titude toward his work better
than at any time since he has
been with the club. Convinced
he is a normal. whole individual
with no more vulnerable an
anatomy than any other hu-
man being, Burke has dismissed
every i0ta of fear which ever
hovered around him and has
shown a confidence this spring
that is surprising and encOur-
aging.
"He did have several bad
teeth, which were keeping his
system poisoned and his body
underweight, but all that is over
now and think you'll see a
new man in him from now on"
If Griffith has analyZed the
Burke situation properly. and
time will soon tell about that,
the Washington pitching staff
will be formidable indeed.
Few of the fans have been
actually counting on Burke to
be of great help, having grown
discouraged over his prospects.
but Griffith's viewpoint is posi-
tive about Burke, and. in fact,
Burke's viewpoint is the same
as Griff'S.

No more batting order changes
are due the Griffmen any time

because of the teams excellent
work in it's past few games.
And to be sure there isn't any
necessity as every member in
the order is clicking now as if 1t

moment.
Also it might be said the various
players are looking quite "at

especially Heine Manush, Goose
Goslin and Fred Schultz, who this
year promise to form one of the
hardest hitting outfields the. GriffS
have possessed in several moons.

will be on deck by game time to-

AuspiciOus Debut
The Griffs made an auspicious
home coming yesterday by tramp
ling the Boston Braves in 7
to 3 encounter. A crowd Of
about 1000 turned out to wit
ness the fun and saw Earl White
hill and Bill McAfee hurl some
nice ball.
Whitehill worked the first six
innings and gave up six hits and
two runs-they coming in the
sixth when Gyselman and Worth
ington singled and Schulmerich
doubled. McAfee hurled shutout
ball during the seventh and
eighth but was combed for three
singles for a marker in the ninth.
In summary, their combined ef-
forts were very, very good.
The Griffs took another OF
those big innings to count the
majority of their runs. In this
instance four were registered In
the fourth when Kuhel singled,
Myer doubled, Manush doubled
and Schultz tripled.
Count One More
One more was counted in the
sixth when Goslin and Schultz
singled and the former came
home on Sewell's fielder'S choice.
Wildness by Pitcher Bob Brown
enabled the Griffs to score their
last two markers of the game in
the seventh.
Kuhel, Cronin, Goslin and
Schultz were given free tickets
to first base, while Browns er-
ror on Bluege's roller helped in
the scoring.
Schultz led the Griffs in the
ten hits they collected by driv.
ing out his single and triple.
Myer gathered himself a double
as did Manush, while Kuhel, Cos
lin and Dave Harris helped
themselves to singles when hits
meant runs.

Occupational Misfts.

One Of the most distressing features
Of the present state Of economic de-
preston in this country is the mis-
adjustment that prevails between the
man and the job In the stress OF the
times people who have lost their occu-
pations owing to the stringencies that
have affected manufacturing and busi-
ness have, when possible. taken other
places regardless Of their fitness for
them. Emergency employment has
put many thousands into uncongenial
places in which, however welcome the
chance to earn anything for mainte-
nance, they have been unhappy. This
has added to the distress Of the null
titude.
John Erskine. novelist and musician,

New York sponsored by the American
Association for Adult Education and
financed by a generous grant from the
Carnegie Corporation. This work. which
is in the nature Of q scientific expert

to give the unemployed individual "a

tion and Of the changes that are taking
place in various occupational fields, in
order that he may see his own condition

and Leonard Calvert. Tho settlement
prospered from the beginning. In six
months it made more progress than
the Virginia colony had made in as
many years. The administration was
just, the spirit Of the people liberal
and the attitude Of the Indians Of the
vicinity friendly. Troubles came, of
course, but their origin was not among
the settlers. On the contrary, q con-
structive fellowship prevailed in the
little town. When the capital was
moved to Annapolis, in the closing
years Of the century, the reasons for
the change were political in character,
not social.
Mr.. Howard has traced out the old
streets and located the foundations of
sixty buildings in the community. With
these as start, ne plans to resurrect
the town, restoring 1t to the appearance
it enjoyed In colonial days. A similar
undertaking at Williamsburg, Va, en-
dowed by the Rockefeller family. has
been very successful. There Is no rea-
son why as much should not be done at
st. Marys. When completed, it would
constitute tangible witness to gentle
culture, a kindly civilization. which
played leading part in the psycholog-
ical preparation for American inde-
pendence. Architecture. it has been
said, helps mankind to remember The
reconstruction Of the Calvert community
would serve that purpose notably.
The celebration Of the anniversaries
of important historic events is a prac-
tice eminently defensible. This, it must
be conceded, is especially true when
the commemoration takes the form Of
a permanent revival Of the physical en-
vironment of the event. No finer tribute
could be paid to the Calvert brothers
than the rebuilding of their settlement.

Governmental Obligations.

From the Rock Island Argus.
1t appears that the $4,000, 900 900
worth Of Liberty bonds that will fall
due this year will not be callabIe until
after March 4. Short-term credits to
about an equal amount, that are nav.
able in 1888. will not mature until after
the inauguration OF Mr.. Roosevelt.
This conversion loan of $4,000, 900 900
will not become pressing matter until
Mr.. Roosevelt is in Office
Practically, 1t will involve a transfer
OF Short-term bonds to long-term Sc
curities. If all the bond holders. would
happen to demand cash the obligation
could not be met. In similar situa-
tion Great Britain appealed to the
patriotism of the people and had to
pay only about per cent of the total.
There was also a reduction of the in
terest rate when the conversion took
place and this effected a big annual
saving.
We have no doubt that there Is as
much patriotism here as In England,
and We are certain that refinancing
OF the national debt. now amounting to
nearly $4,000, 100000, VIII take place
so there will be no undue strain upon
the Treasury and upon the credit of
our national Government. But there
can be no such saving In interest here
as in England, because Of the low rate
Of our American securities, the highest
being only 4A per cent.
