powerful Eastern High five this
year-the machine that needs
only one more victory to abso
lutely settle the inter-high school
championship once and for al
for the campaign.
Dean, Of course, is the star oi
this Lincoln Park trio. He's
shown it by his performance!
throughout the season, not only
by his sensational scoring work
but his better than average
floor play.
Scheible holds the "color'
title, while Edelin, should be
handed the backbone rating" il
he hasn't been given that rating
already.
Careers Interesting
The work of this latter pair has
been interesting to say the least
Scheible has been colorful because
Of his dynamic play in every game
for Eastern since the season
started.
Looking back over the series
one will remember how hard he's
played. It's been because he's
attempted to be in every play
not only as a floorman, but 8
scorer as well. Several times he's
found himself "wiping up" the
floor due to spills and encounters
with opposing players to gain the
ball.
Edelin's efforts have been even
more concentrated than Schedules
Also Deans. It could almost be
said that Gay has played even a
cooler game than the latter
Several of the games have brought
this out at least, two big ex-
amples being in the Tech and
Western contests when the lad
had a great deal to do with the
Steadying of his teammates.
Play Again Today
Dean, Scheible and Edelin, make
their seventh appearance in the
interhigh series today when East.
ern meets the Roosevelt five at
the Roosevelt gym at $3.50. Unless
the Rough Riders show a reversal
of form, Eastern with Dean
Scheible and Edelin leading the
way, should clinch the champion
ship.
Tech plays Western in the other
series fray in the Tech gymna
sium at $3.50 o'clock. In this con
test, the two teams will battle
for second place honors. Both
have won three games and lost
two thus far. Western defeated
the Manual Trainers earlier in
the schedule and it was at that
time that the Georgetowners be
came a dangerous threat in the
series.

JOHNN|ES FACE
KENDALL FIVE

st. Johns Prep courtmen play
the Kendall School five today in
the Kendall gymnasium at $3.50
p. m. in the feature game for
school teams not affiliated with
the 1nterhigh series race.
Three other contests are on tap.
Takoma-Silver Spring meets the
Catholic Freshmen at C. u, $3.50
p. m, Friends entertains the
George Washington Frosh at
Friends at $3.50, and Rockville
meets Gaithersburg at Rockville,
$3.50 p. m.
The two games with frosh teams
are without doubt tests for
Takoma-Silver Spring and Friends.
However, the two suburban fives
are confident that close battles
will be offered.
Two games were played yester.
day. Bethesda Chevy Chase de-
feated Westinghouse High, 81
to 20 and Jefferson High, Of
Falls Church, triumphed over Ma.
tional Training School, 38 to Is.
The victory for Bethesda Chevy
Chase was that teams thirteenth
in Is starts. Lodge, with II

10 points, was Falls Church'S star
over National Training School.

More than that, there will be
no trade between the Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and Boston clubs Of
the National League until We are
quite sure that there is going to
be a Boston club.
Briefly, the schedule meetings
today are cinch. The American
League only has to declare itself
on what it wants.
All the National League needs
is the assurance that the Boston
Braves aren't going to travel by
trolley car this year. They've been
trying to find out about that for
the last five weeks. So have the
Boston Braves.
AS the situation stands, Judge
Emil Fuchs owes a total of at least
$50, 900, before the club can start,
and needs at least $4,000 before
it can finish
The idea Of the league meeting
today is not to determine what can
be done about Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays. It is to find out
what can be done about Judge
Fuchs.
Anyhow, he'll have to show
cause today or the league will an
nounce a reorganization.
Beyond that, there is the Dean

~NASs
That was the series in which
the Spindly legged young man
first became a nationally
known diamond star. But the
world was so filled with war
at the moment that his really
remarkable performance, pitch
ing two games and winning
them both and then breaking
up the series with his triple in
the final contest, did not pro-
duce the furore it would have
in a normal year.
The "loudest" three-bagger a
man could hit was less than
the drop Of a pin against the
final crescendo of four unin'
terrupted years of thunder in
Northern France. So one Of
the closest, tensest world
series ever played slid softly
into the records. But there is
one man who has not forgot

They settled it last night in the
Fraternity League by taking two
out Of three games from Alpha

Today, the Kappa Phi maple

For those that 60 down for
nothing but the fishing we rec
ommend one Of the many
camps on the keys. Here you
will catch fish, talk fish and
eat them as we'll. The whole
atmosphere is tainted with fish
ing.
Closest to Miami
Key Largo Fishing Camp Is
the closest to Miami, just 48
miles south over the new Over
seas Highway. Or you might
prefer to 60 down by seasled Or
autogiro from the Miami Bilt-
more. From reports so far this
winter this camp is getting to
be more than popular. It is be-
cause of it's accessibility to
Miami. Hardly a day goes by
that doesn't see one or more
WaShingtonianS fishing there.
Leaving Key Largo you follow
on down the road over bridges,
file and keys until you arrive
at the end of Lower Matacumbe
Here also will be found fishing
facilities and the ferry which
carries you over the four hour
water Jump on this unique road.
The scenery alone is worth many
times four hours of anyone's
time.
Another ride of a little more
than an hour over many and
various keys and you are at
Pirates Cove Fishing Camp. A
fine camp with every facility
for the angler and a cuisine not
to be beaten anywhere. One
outstanding feature of these
camps on the keys is that there
is always good fishing. If it
should happen to be blowing too
hard for the stream fishing, just
fall back on the sheltered sounds
and cuts.
Oldest Fishing Camp
Long Key Fishing Camp is the
Oldest and is best reached by the
Florida East Coast railroad. It
is not on the highway, but it can
be recahed by boat, although 1t
is long trip. A real camp even
back in the old days before Flag
Ter finished his Overseas railroad,
it has held it's own year after year
as one of the finest fishing camps
anywhere. It must be seen to be
appreciated, and once there you
can never forget it and the desire
to return is with you for ever
more.
If it should so happen thai
these fishing grounds haven't
struck your fancy so far, drive on
down 20 miles below Pirates Cove
and without any warning you are
in the midst of a truly Spanish
city. Again at this point good
fishing prevails. Several of the
