GRAYS FIGURE
IN LEAGUE TILT

Only one contest was played in
the D. C. Independent League
yesterday but it found the Kenil-
worths defeating Capitol Heights
in an interesting 6-to-4 encounter.
Today the Kenilworths play the
Mt. Rainier Grays, league leaders,
at Kenilworth at o'clock in a
game that might push the Kenil-
worths into the thick of the
battle for the league crown.
The Midget section of the No
tional Capital League still con-
tinues to be a battle between the
Versis and McAlwee mines, with
the former keeping ahead by the
slimmest of margins. Yesterday
the Versis defeated the Jack
Prys, to 2, to hold on to first
place, while the McAlwees de-
feated the Lanes, 10 to 2, to keep
close behind as the runner-up
team.
Covelli has defeated some of
the leading featherweights in the
country, including Petey Sarron.

to listen to the tall fishing tales
the realtors tell when they return.
Just when a person gets a lot
of confidence in particular
realtor, and actually believes the
realtor when the latter bragS
about how good business is, and
how fine the property is he is
selling-that Realtor comes back
from a fishing trip with a fish
story, and all the confidence built
up so painStakingly is shaken
again.
Garfield Kass went fishing over
the week-end-but the very frank
Mr.. Kass admits he caught no
fish. so the innuendo does not
apply to him.
Morton Luchs has witnesses to
his proWesS, so there is no way to
disbelieve him.
j. Wesley Buchanan intended
to fish little this trip, but every
time he drops his anchor off the
Kawa he starts puttering about
with the machinery and forgets
all about fishing until it is time
to weigh anchor and start home
again.
Herbert Shannon has the best
fishing layout for comfort and
convenience. Down at his Chesa-
peake Bay place there is a huge
barge he has fitted up very much
like a comfortable back porch
it is so much like real back
porch that once it almost fooled
Robert V. Fleming, the man who
is the hardest to fool in this

could not reach evidently meant
nothing to Joe Mccarthy.
So, on May IL of 1888, Werber
was sold to the Boston Red Sox.
His climb to the heights began
right then. Many a ball player
would have sulked. But Bill
laughed joyously-almost malevo-
lently. He would make the yam
KEGS sorry they ever cut him loose.
And right now every time Ed Bar
row hears the name of Billy Wer.
ber he turns a delicate shade OF
lavendar.
Bill was tried at shortstop by
the Red Sox, but he isn't a short
stop. He, booted chances by over
playing the ball. Shifted to third
base he really came into his own,
and right now he is not for sale.
Bright Future Ahead
Werber is 26 years of age and
with an even break in baseball
luck should have seven or eight
Of his best years before him.
81 enjoyed being with the
Yankees" Werber said recently.
"'But I've enjoyed being with the
Red SOx even more. We're going
to win a pennant before long
out our way, and that is just
what Mr.. Yawkey, Mr.. Collins
and Bucky Harris deserve. It's
q fine place to work, and every
one is enthusiastic over the fu-
ture."
So here's to you, Billy Werber.
The home town welcomes you to-
day. If you want the keys to

ento tonight than he was three
months ago.
But so will the italian Iguana.
Having added Jack Dempsey to
his Brain Trust" Tony has COM
pletely revised his mode of pre-,
pairing for a fight
Prior to the advent of the
ManasSa Mauler, Tony used to
wind up his training by washing
his neck carefully and consuming
half keg of beer. He still washes
his neck, but he is saving money
on beer, end has added such novel
training stunts as road-Work, bag
punching, rope-skipping and rou-
tine snoring sessions. It is rumored
that Dempsey's famed Iron Mike"
has helped considerably in per-
suading Galento to change his
methods.
More Durable
Consequently, when Tony is
showed through the ropes tonight
he will be more durable, faster
afoot, a speedier and possibly more
powerful hitter. He may also
have grown a bit smarter and
learned to vary his attack to his
oponent's style. 1t remains to be
seen.
The "sock" will also predom-
mate in the ten-round Semi-final,
which Dempsey, the greatest
socker of them all, will referee,
when Bob Wilson, Florida's blond
torpedo, attempts to sink Roy
Manley, the only local fiSticuffer
who not only lasted the route with
him but drew down the decision.
Wilson has gained considerably
in confidence and experience since
that scrap and his followers are
confident that Manley will take
an enforced rest period of ten or
more seconds sometime during the
Scuffle. Manley adherentS expect
to Sc Roy give Bob a boxing lesson.
The preliminarieS will consist of
four Ground ScuffleS which are
expected to end early and sudden

TEAM BOASTS
SIX HUSKY
TACKLES
By HARRY COSTELLO
Grade AL

Grade AA-1.
Were the squad to have a
speedster of the calibre of "Nig"
McCarcer, the label would be
Grade AAA-1.
There you have in brief form
the story of George Washington
University's 1884 grid outfit.
Never before in the history Of
g. w. has the university had
such an evenly balanced, rugged
squad.
Tackles Are Husky
Some notion of just how beau
tifully balanced this 1894 G. w.
outfit is may be gained from the
fact that MeSSrS. PiXlee, Walsh,
ct al, have six tackles who will
average close to the 210-pound
mark-a pair of forward walls at
once rugged, fast, active and
hard-driving.
Then, too, G. w. has what it
has lacked for the past several
seasons: Several fast, hard-run-
ming guards. This element may
contrive to give the Colonlals
the best football team they ever
have had.
One look at G. w., in its first
workout yesterday, at Camp
Let's, Md. was sufficient to sat
isfy the most critical of critics
that the Colonials will go places
this year if they can escape the
injury jinx which dogged their
footsteps throughout the latter
half of last years campaign.
Secretly Optimistic
Football coaches are seldom op-
timistic. G.. WIS grid chiefs are
not exceptions to this rule. They
look and act pesSimiStic. Actu-
ally, they are secretly elated.
They realize they have what all
great football teams must have
power, and plenty of it. With
two big, fast and rugged lines,
and a number of promising backs,
several of whom are likewise
rugged, fast and weighty, the Co.
lonialS are ready for the issue.
Yesterdays workout was light.
A total of % players reported for
the initial practice session. Sev-
eral more are due in camp today
and tomorrow. The Colonials
will get down to serious business
on a two-a-day basis-within a
day or two.
Johnny Baker, the Anson, Tex,
flash of last year, is one Of the
backfield coaches. John Lee, for
mer All-Big Six tackle from Okla
homa University, will not coach
this year. His teaching duties at
the university will take all his
time.
Terrapins Report Today
University of Maryland's grid
ders report today for their first
1884 practice session. Tomorrow
morning grid activities will COM
mence at Georgetown and Cath
olic University. Az least 40 play
ers will report to Maryland's
Coach Jack Faber today. It is
anticipated that Georgetown and
c. U. will each have about 40 men
for their opening practices.
Coaches Jack Hagerty, of the
Hilltop, and Arthur Dutch" Berg
man, of the Cards, plan to swing
right into hard work Immediately
after their candidates unload the
kinks accumulated during the
summer.
Gallaudet and American Uni
verSity also start their preseason
workouts tomorrow. Each school
figures to have its full compile
ment of candidates from the gun.

a month.
Now that the local delegation
is back from the Milwaukee con-
vention of the American Bar AS
sociation, there will be much to
talk about when they begin circu-
lating among their friends who
stayed at home.
But credit must be given to the
men who organized the delega-
ton into it's effective strength.
James w. Beller was chairman
OF the committee, and he had in
Raymond F. Garrity a working
secretary who really put the
thing over.
