ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jan. Q.
Alexandria enjoyed one of the
most successful athletic seasons in
its history during 1895. The high
lights were the achievements of the
George washington High School
eleven, winners Of the Northern
Virginia title, who defeated the
leading scholastic elevens of Wash
ington and Virginia in Glass "a"
conference competition for the
first time and won two games, de-
feating Newport News and Wash
ington and Lee. The final game
was played at Baggett's Stadium,
Thanksgiving Day, and attracted
over 5000 spectators, the largest
crowd ever to see a football game
here. Gate receipts totaled $1,000.
Paul Shu, captain Of the team,
was chosen fullback at the ALI
State eleven.
Celtics Runners Up
In the independent baseball
field the st. Mary's CelticS were
runner-upS for the State semi
pro title in the first annual series
held at Richmond.
They lost in the semifinals to
Chesapeake Of West Point by a 80
score.
This year also saw the Alex
andria High School win scholastic
honors, with Eddie Hammersley's
no-hit, no-run game over Eastern
High of Washington the high light.
The Alexandrians won this game,
20.
Numerous weekday games were
played, and the Carter Motor and
Alexandria "HaS-BeenS" tied for
the city title.
The track sport doomed at Alex
andria High, and the Alexandra
ans, led by Lee Fones, won second
lonorS in the State meet. Zones
copied the 100 and 220 events.
Basketball found the Celtics
and C1lumbias occupying the
spotlight at the close Of the
year.
FraterS Sparkle
In the independent football
field the Alexandra Fraters won
the unlimited honorS and split
even for the season with five
wins and the same number Of de-
feats. Nick Colasanto was the
coach. The senior title fell into
I. the Virginians camp. @
The junior field was easily
topped by the Pirate teams, and
they we're coached by Dodo
Robinson and excelled in three
sports, football, baseball and
basketball.
Indications point to 1886 as a
banner season in sports here. A
new gymnasium is in use for the
high school and a stadium to
cost in the neighborhood of $685.

NEW TRIAL

Judge Fay Bentley today denied
a motion for a retrial for 15-year'
old Charles Ivan Johnson, who had
been sentenced to the National
Training School for Boys until he
reached 81 years of age.
Defense Counsel Fred Icenhower
and w. K. Teepee announced they
would file for a habeas corpus
writ in the District of Columbia
District Court.
The boy, son of Mrs. Eva
johnson, 483 E st. S. E., was
arrested on a charge of unlawful
entry and placed on probation
for a year. He was found to
have played hockey" from
school for three days and his pro
baton was revoked. He was
then sent to a home maintained
by the Board Of Public Welfare

plea that young Johnson had been

charge when he was not repre-
sented by counsel.

ST. SWithin' S Day;

Or 40 Drought Days

Today, if you had forgotten the
fact, is st. Swithin's Day, and &C
cording to ancient tradition, if it
rains today there will be rain for
the next 40 days.
But the Weather Bureau sees
no prospect for rain. so it looks
as though the Capital will enjoy
40 days of dry weather-although

ton.
st. Swithin was an English pre-
late in the ninth century. On his
death he was buried in the church
yard at Winchester. Later it was
planned to move his body to the
cathedral on July Is.
But that day it rained hard, and
the downpour continued for 40
days. Hence the belief that If it
rains on July Is the rain will con-
tinue.
