Tied for Lead
BY virtue of their victories yes
terday Central and Eastern are
tied for the lead in the public high
school championship basketball
series with four triumphS and one
loss.
Central had to fight like tigers
to claw Western into defeat, "a
to 81, while Eastern had rather
an easy time disposing of Tech.
49 to 27.
Western snatched the lead at
the end of the first quarter, Z to
2, and continued to hold the ad-
vantage at the conclusion of the
half, 18 to 13. Western boys shot
eight sensational field goals dur
ing the second quarter, with
LoVeleSS and Allen having the
starring roles.
However, Central found itself
during the second half and played
like champion. Len DeLisio,
Ceptral's great defensive guard,
knotted the count 24-all just as
the third period gun barked. Then
Johnny Mandes dropped a l,ng
fielder through the rims to give
the Mt. Pleasant the margin and
it was never headed.
Glass of Series
Eastern High is the class of the
series. The players can pass and
shoot and do anything that makes
a good basketball team.
Capt. Tommy Nolan and
'Dopey" Dean will be patted on
the back by their schoolmates
today. These baSketers performed
like real veterans, each compiling
13 points and playing floor
game that will be remembered
for some time. Tom Davis, tow
ering center, also was noteworthy,
as his II points indicate. East
ern led at intermission, Is to Is.
Capt. Red DAILY was Techs out
standing player, sinking eight
markers and passing accurately
to his mates.

Chess as Coli
Alternate

Recreation for H. C. Sheridan,
local hotel magnate and prom
nent member of the Chevy Chase
Club, alternates between golf and
chess.
One day finds him playing golf.
The next he is engaged in a
chess match with his chauffeur.
It's just a matter of routine with
him.
This chess match finds the pair
seated in the rear of Sheridan'S
limousine parked at the Chevy
Chase Club, and they usually pass
away the whole afternoon in this
fashion.
There is also another angle to
this strange chess alliance. When
the chauffeur began to drive for
Sheridan, he was totally ignorant
of chess. He probably thought it
was some wild animal game.
However, Sheridan purchased
innumerable chess books for him
and the chauffeur pored over the
pages long into the night. Today
he is a keen match for his en-
ployer.
Indeed, he could quite well sit
down and hold his own with most

GR|FF WANTS
PROF. READY.
IN SPRING
BY GARRETT WATERS
Monte Weaver, the former Balti-

BY GAhhEII WA1EhS
Monte Weaver, the former Balti-
more Oriole hurler, has been .
pretty good pitcher during his
short career as a Washington
Griffman.
But the powers behind the
throne believe he is even a better
finger than that, and hope to
prove their point in the campaign
not so very long off.
To help Monte reach new
heights, these same powers have
reached a definite decision to
send the former University Of
Virginia professor to Hot Springs,
Arkansas, this spring for a session
of boiling out" exercises, prior
to his scheduled presence for
training purposes at Biloxi, the
Mississippi conditioning base.
About February 20
Monte will jump down to the
Springs" about February 20. He
will engage in the usual routine
which ball players follow there,
which means that he'll get in
many hikes. will get the benefit
OF the famous baths, and will
work himself generally into shape
for the strenuous campaign ahead.
President Clark Griffith has
mapped out this earlv program
for Weaver because he desires to
have his pitcher "in there" win
ming games this year at the very
start of the season.
Last year Monte got off to a
most discouraging beginning. He
was knocked from pillar to post
in the majority of his games, and
after a time was practically USE
less to the club until late in July.
Poor Health Cause
Poor health was the cause for
this. Monte finally numbered his
frame into a doctors office. The
M. D. prescribed treatment, medi-
cine and the like, and soon the
former Baltimore Oriole was in
excellent fettle again.
Said Prexy Griff today:
well be needing Monte and
the winning games he can pitch
right at the outset this season.
Therefore our plan is to send
him to Hot Springs to insure
his best health by the time the
spring training grind begins.
Monte must have burned HIM
self out at Biloxi last year, but
this shouldn't happen this sea-
son if a sOjOurn at Hot Springs
means anything at all to a ball
player"
Weaver finished up the 1888
season with record of 10 vic
tories as against five losses. This
was quite in contrast to the cam
paign before that in which he
bobbed up as the sensation of the
league with % triunphs. During
that season he began winning
games right from the start, and
his work proved a great help to
his team.
It is this help the Griffs hope
to get from Monte this spring.
Success on Monte's part and the
Griffs will find it much easier to
get going than happened to be the
case last spring, when the club
found it difficult to become ad-
justed to the important task Of
winning the pennant.

 The First Chamber of the local Civil Court has just set a prece- dent in ruling this way. A Madame Dupont, wife of a civil servant here, recently died, leav- ing her husband an $500 annuity. on condition that he did not re- marry, in which case the income was to go to a hospital.
 The husband did remarry. but he sued for the annuity, arguing that the condition against re- marriage was an imposition oil his personal liberty, therefore le- gally immoral, and that 1t had been dictated by unjustified jeal. ousy.
 The hospital maintained that the clause was perfectly moral, that Madame Dupont was lucid when she mRde her will, that Monsieur Dupont had not been able to prove any low motive on Madame's part behind the clause, which clearly was inspired by Madame's interest in charity fully demonstrated by her deeds during her lifetime.

Each car dis played banner with the associa- ton name and each occupant was supplied with a hat and noise mak- CT donated by Wordens. The sight of the camp was greeted with a whoop and although no stop watches were held there is no doubt that worlds record was establish ed by many in getting into bath ing suit and into the water.
