the modern champions, whose
fierce ring presence and deadly
punching started the legend Of
Irish invincibility in the prize
ring, weighed about 100 pounds.
Later, John L. went over the 200
pound mark, but it was fat and
bloat, not solid muscle, that
raised his poundage.
Corbett, the agile beau sa-
breur of the roped arena, was at
his peak at 1875 pounds, while
Bob Fitzslmmons, the ruby Cor
nishman, never was more than a
good sized middleweight. He
weighed less than 100 pounds
when he beat Corbett. Jeffries
weighed about 2l0 and johnson
about the same.
Jess Willard was the first of
the big hulks to lumber to the
top. Willard never saw the day
he was as good a fighter as
Luther Mccarthy, who beat most
of the white hopes" but who
died in the ring with Arthur
Pelky. Mccarthy hurt his neck
diving into an empty swimming
pool, and a light tap produced
a cerebral hemmorhage that re-
suited fatally. Mccarthy scaled
200 pounds.
Dempsey, the tiger man,
weighed about 1876 at his best,
and Tunney was about the same,
give or take few pounds. The
rest of the fighters who achieved
top ranking, and who are re-
garded as contenders, are of
about equal poundage.
Biggest of Misfits
Primo Carnera, the biggest of
those amusing miSfits who by
accident and chicanery achieve
prominence, never was anything
but a freak and a palooka. The
writer hazards the opinion that
Louis would flatten Camera
faster than Baer did.
With his weight right, his
punch right and his native abil-
ity unchallenged, the future
looks rosy for Louis. There is
a strong probability, of course,
that some of the men who are
ranking at the top now will draw
the color line if public sentiment
does not deter them in this action
Louis is popular with all who
know him. There is little chance
of his carrying on the way Jack
johnson did, and there is less
chance of his paying the pen
atty that johnson paid.

|NORN|NGSTAR,
CUE VET, HERE
TOMORROW

Local billiard fans should not
fail to take the opportunity to re.
ceive expert instructions on the
fundamentals of billiards which
will be given by Ora C. Morning
star, of San Diego, Cal, former
1872 balkline champion and past
master of the art" when he ap-
pears at Royal Recreation, Ar
cadia and Georges tomorrow in
connection with the National
Better Billiards" program being
sponsored by the National Billiard
Association of America.
The veteran Morningstar Is
probably one Of the best qualified
instructors in the history of bill
lizards and this invitation is espe-
cially extended to ladies.
Ora, as he prefers to be called,
has devoted As years Of his life
in the interests of billiards and in
1909 he held the worlds title at
1872 balkline and the 1871 cham
pionship in 1911.
Born in Rochester
Morningstar was born in Ro-
chester, Ind, in 1874, where his
father owned a hotel. It was there
he got his first glimpse of a bill
lard table in which he became i'm
mediately interested. Too young
however, to play in a public rec
reation. Morningstar decided to
build his own outfit, which he did.
The equipment consisted of a
store box and rails made out Of
old rubber Soles from discarded
shoes. The cues he made from
broomsticks and the balls were
nothing more than large marbles
This equipment was installed
in his woodshed and it was to
this table that he credits his
championship stroke" He won
the Indiana State championship
at the age of 49, Two years later
he went to New York city with
Maurice DAILY, where he estab-
liShed high run of 1874 in 1872
balkline, winning the tournament
with an average of %.
Went to Mexico
In 1901 Morningstar went to
Mexico, where he won the Mexi.
can championship, which he still
holds. At that time he played
before President Diaz. In 1903
he went to Paris, where he
played a 3.60O-point match of
1872 balkline with Robert Glouri.
oux. the Belgium champion. In
that match he broke the worlds
record of 200 held by Frank C.
Ives and tied by George B. Sut-
ton with a run of 224. In 1906
Morningstar challenged Maurice
Vignaux, but the challenge was
not accepted by the Frenchman.
Morningstar is a talented art
ist and model maker. He has
studied in Europe under many
WellknoWn artists and has sew
eral exhibitions on view in the
Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh,
where he lived for number of
years. He is today recognized
as one of the most valuable in
structors in the billiard game.
Morningstar will also appear
the same evening at the Georges
Billiard Room, 1882 B st. S. E.,
at 7 p. m, and at the Arcade Bill
lard Room, Fourteenth and Park
Road Northwest at 9:3O q. m.

my neaEG. You
Uarrett Waters see it's in my
mouth most of the time.
Let's see, Fridays the day, isn't
It? My word, I do believe two
gymnasiums will house the games
this year. Well, one heart failure
at a time will suffice, regardless
of which contest we'll witness.
Tech plays Roosevelt in the
Tech gymnasium, you say? l
say, my good man, what teams
play elsewhere? Central against
Eastern? At Roosevelt? My
word, Meadows.
Interesting Series
The series promises to be as
interesting as always, doesn't it,
Meadows? Eastern won the
championship last year, didn't
they? Well, this only means
every team will be out to keep
Friend Charlie Guyon's lads from
turning the trick again.
I see by the papers, Friend
Artie Boyd's Tech High team
holds the greatest chance OF
stopping Eastern. I've been told
Boyd has a capable looking
center in Josh Billings, also a
supporting cast including Reds
Daily, rated by many as the out
standing athlete in the high
schools today, Jimmy Roland,
Andy Farrell, Joe Mulitz and Pete
Wilmeth.
Roosevelt High, too, rates high.
The Rough Riders have won
seven straight games. That's
quite a record for those lads, I'd
say, particularly since Roosevelt
teams have had trouble in get
ting into the winning column IN
the past. :,
And what tall, rangy Central
High five, we'll see. Will Thomp'
son, John Munhall, Sam Fox,
John Mandes! Could we call them
man mountains, Meadows?
Dean Is Star
Eastern? Well, understand the
club is still a pretty darned good
one. Lavelle Dean think they
call him Dopey-is still around, as
is Gay Edelin,. Ed Miller will jump
center while Bucky Bucholz, Chick
Hollidge and Fred Scheible will
appear from time to time in the
other positions.
incidentally. Charlie Guyon,
I've noticed, has kept his club un-
der cover for the last two or three
weeks. He must have something
there, but doesn't want to, spring
it too soon. Still, the general
basketball schedule for this week
will force him to show his sensa-
tionS, since the team is listed
against Alexandria High tomoN-
row and Westinghouse High,
Wednesday, both matches at East
ern.
And I say, the week will be quite
active insofar as the schedule is
concerned. Eleven games are on
tap, Meadows, the schedule you
can look over yourself. Here it is:
Today
st. Johns VS.. Mt. Rainier at Mt.
Rainier,

PUBLIC WILL SEE
DECATUR HOUSE
BeaIes Will Open Historic
Place for Benefit of
Thrift Shop.

Decatur House, where Stephen De-
catur died of wounds received in q
duel on the Bladensburg road. and
where many famous men have resided.
will be thrown open to the public for
the first time May 22 and % for the
benefit of the Thrift Shop of Wash
ington and its five member organiza-
tions.
The historic house, at the corner Of
Jackson place and H street, was built
by Commodore Decatur with prize
money from the sale of captured ships
in the War 1912 and was designed
by Benjamin H. Latrobe. architect of
the Capitol and of st. Johns Church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Truxtun Beale. pres
ent owners Of the house, are cooper
ating with Mrs John r. Williams,
chairman of the Thrift Shop. They
have agreed to show their home and
its many treasures of historic interest
relating to its owners, both past and
present. The house will be open from
1880 am. to. $50 pm, ON the two
days of the benefit. Visitors will be
shown the garden adjoining the old
slave quarters and the stable which
housed the two famous black Arabian
stations presented to Gen. Grant by
the Sultan of Turkey. Guides will
show the visitors around and explain
the interesting objects.
The two lower floors Of the house
are to be exhibited. Tea will be served
in the garden, with Mrs. Henry La
trobe Roosevelt, whose husband. the
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy, Is q
direct descendant of the architect, as
hostess. A detachment OF Marines
will be stationed at the door OF the
house.
After the house was vacated by De-
catur's widow it was occupied by q
procession of famous men. First came
the Russian Minister, Baron de Tuyi,
and his wife; then came three Secre-
taries of State, Henry Clay, followed
by his successor, Martin Van Buren.
When the cabinet of Andrew Jackson
was dissolved Edward Livingston was
the third Secretary Of State to i've
there. The next occupant was Sir
Charles Vaughan, British Minister TO
the United States.
Right after the Civil War Gen. Ed
ward Fitzgerald Beale bought the
house. Both the old general and his
son Truxtun, the present owner, have
carefully preserved the traditions OF
the old house.
Proceeds from the exhibition will

Children's Hospital, the Child Wei
fare, Columbia Hospital Prenatal
Clinic and the Junior League for their
care of sick children Of the District.

DECISION AGAINST
SNYDER IS UPHELD
Former U. S. Marshal LA
BILE for Damage Done by
Rain to Furniture.

The District Court of Appeals today
supported a Municipal Court decision
holding Edgar c. Snyder, former
United States marshal, liable for dam
age done by rain to furniture moved
out of residence by his deputies.
I'VE think that marshal execut-
ing a writ Of restitution should be
liable for damage caused by rain or
other natural causes, as well as by his
own breakage, if it comes to the goods
by reason of his negligent conduct. or
an undue exposure reasonably foresee-
able" Justice William Hitz stated.
The Municipal Court suit was
brought by Leo j. and Helen v. Hart
for damage allegedly done their prop
erty when they were dispossessed Au-
gust 10, 1888. from their home at'6l9
M street northeast. They obtained q
$3.50 judgment.
The marshal sent a letter of noti-
fication to the Harris that a writ of
restitution had been issued and when
his deputies arrived the next morn
ing to dispossess the Harts, they found
the couple away from home and the
notice unopened in the mail box.
The court said the marshall had 10
DAYS in which to execute the writ and
should have given reasonable notice
of his intentions.
"The power of the marshall to cut
off his liability for damage occurring
after removal by giving reasonable
notice of his intention to eVct, or by
making reasonable effort to give such
notice, affords ample protection to
him." stated the court in laying down
a rule for future conduct.

CLOSED BANKS HELD
LIABLE FOR TAXES

The District Court Of Appeals held
today insolvent banks still are liable
for personal property taxes and such
taxes may, if necessary, be paid out
of assessments against stockholders.
It authorized the District Supreme
Court to issue a writ Of mandamus
against Cary A. Hardee, receiver for
the closed Federal-American Ma
tional Bank g. Trust Co., directing
him to file q tax return.
The District Commissioners had
applied to the lower court for the
writ, but their petition was dismissed
on the grounds that the tax statute
exempted closed banks and that the
payment Of due taxes would diminish
the assets eventually available to the
depositors. 49,.
