Lapchick. the famed New York
Celtics, will invade the Capital to-
morrow to face the Heurich Brewers
In the first Of two games at 7:30 pm.

Barry Is one Of the trickiest drib-
blers the court game ever has seen,
but should the veteran guard fail,
Lapchick, 6 foot 6 inch center, stands
ready to take the starring role.
Another standout Is Dutch Dehnert,
originator Of the pivot play. Dave
Banks and Nat Hickey, pair of high
scoring forwards, will round out the
team.

king at times was extremely hard, but
it was ragged in many spots. The for
ward passing was about as bad as I
have seen all year-on both teams"
The Illinois mentor was 100 per cent
right In this charge. Neither team
had q good passing attack. Stanford
had much the better passing defense.
On pass after pass the Texas throwers
were badly rushed. But counted at
least six occasions where the Mustang
passers had all the time any passer
needs-where the results were COM
pletely futile, short passes that hit the
ground several feet or several yards
in front Of the receiver. There was
no one on the field who even ap-
preached the deadly GOODNESS and the
equally deadly accuracy of Dixie

- nounced today by President
Clark Grif1th in denying reports that
Capt Buddy Myer would be the only
Washington ball player TO get an In
crease.
Myer, who is believed to have re-
ceived a salary Of $4,000 last season,
will get the biggest boost in stipend,
but other regulars who will collect fat
ter pay checks, Griffith declared, are
Cecil Travis and Jake Powell. g.
Ed Linke, roly-poly right -hander,
who already has signed his contract,
did so for a bigger figure and Buck
Newsom Is due for slight increase.
Linke deserved his raise on the
strength of winning eight straight
games at the tail end Of the 1885 sea-
son. Newsom, who was given boost
in pay when purchased last May from
the Browns, rates little more dough,
comedies Griff, despite losing more
games than any other pitcher in the
American League.
Lanahan Gets Raise.
THE others due TO command high
er salary, revealed Griff, are Dick
Lanahan, young pitcher, who is given
a chance Of making the bigleague
grade, and Sam Holbrook, second
string catcher, who may find himself
behind the bat regularly next season.
There will be several cuts, Grifith
also admitted, but none OF them will
be outstanding Earl Whitehill's
check is due a slash, which, with
Myers boost, probably will make
Buddy the highest paid Of all the
Washington performers.
No dividend will be declared, said
Griff, when the Washington club

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Genius.

COME students maintain that a
genius represents natures attempt
to produce a higher order of excel
lence. Nature spreads these attempts
here and there in the hope that,
through the influence Of talent, the
race will ultimately be advanced. Ac-
cording to this philosophy. no reason
except the hidden wisdom of Mother
Nature is offered for the appearance
of geniuses.
This is really poor philosophy. Any
supposition that natural events take
place more or less accidentally is no
explanation.
the arrival Of genius is the simple
method of counting noses. Francis
Cation was the first to use this method
and to derive therefrom reasonable
conclusion. His theory was that genius
is hereditary; that it runs in families.
He found that 100 distinguished men
had 81 distinguished fathers and II
distinguished grandfathers. These
same 100 men were the fathers OF Al
distinguished sons, who in turn were
the fathers of IA distinguished sons.
From such figures it is possible to
conclude that there is virtue in in
breeding. Old-line aristocratic FAM
lilies who carefully guard the mar
riages of their children come in time
to build up line of descent which
maintains a high level of excellence,
persisting for many generations.
The breeders of live stock have
known this for centuries. Human be-
ines have been reluctant to apply this
knowledge. One of the duties of mod
ern sociology is to gather and to dis
seminate the facts of heredity.
