WILL THE
BRITISH
BE THERE?

ton in America on Roanoke Island this
summer would be nothing short of caam-
ity. Englands non-parliCipation in this mo-
mentOus event will be fraught with cm-
barrassing implications.
This newspaper believes that England is
eager to participate, but it must receive a
formal invitation thru channels prescribed
by Court rules and customs. As we under
stand it, first the Governor of the State
must move to interest the United States
Department of State and any invitation
must be communicated to London by the
United States Secretary of State via the Of
flee of the British Prime Minister
There is little time for this action. If
GQvCrnOr IIOcv is not doing anything about
it, some one should urge him to extend the
invitation. Neglect of this courtesy would be
a serious affront to the Mother Country and
an exhibition of i'll manners upon the part
of her offspring.
We have an idea thai Great Britain would
gladly lend valuable historical exhibits to
thescclcbralion, send a representative of the
Crown To the celebration, and would even
consider sending ono of its royal bands to
lheacelcbration as a gesture of goodwill
and showmanship.

maid is kind and reasonably attentive to the

mcnt of the colorcd nurSC-mald lies IN the
possible exposure of the child to the mtcc-
ton. of syphilis. Syphilis is widespread
among the lower class Negroes.
DR.. C,nrqe VI. Leiby. vcncrcal disease Spc-
cialist of the State Board of Health, reports
the tragedy of siN-months-oId baby girl
in a prominent Charlotte family, who had
apparently acquired syphilis from contact
with a careless servant. The baby'S nurse
was the only person in the household i'll
fected with syphilis. and mere scratch
from a pin handled by that nurse may have
communicated infection to the child.
And now that little SiX-months-old baby
girl must undergo treatment for two years
to remove the taint from her blood.
White mothers who scour the slumS in
quest of colorcd help that may be hired
cheap. should at least take the prccaution
to have the family physician give the pros

she is permitted to handle the child.

When twilight muffles day. and you the power
Arcturus holds to draw a Steersman through
A night of vast impenetrabe blue.
You are the JOY the first forsythia spills
And sharp nostalgia for half-remcmbered hills. .

Tech OUT TO CATCH
FOOTBALL LEADER
Victory Over Roosevelt Would
Create Deadlock in Scrap for
Scholastic Title,

CEEKING first-place tie with East
ern at three victories in as many
starts, Tech will collide with Roose-
velt tomorrow at Roosevelt Stadium
in public high school football series
game at 3:15 o'clock.
Tech, with its Henry Rassier and
Jack Belote functioning behind a
smooth line, has been installed a pro-
hibitive favorite to trounce the Rough
Riders, who have defeated Wilson and
lost to Central and Eastern.
Tech disposed of Western, 21-l2,
and walloped Wilson. 800, with its
second-stringers in action throughout
most of the second half. While Roose-
velt is expected by many schoolboy
followers to give the defending cham
pions bitter battle for half, Techs
reserve strength probably would be
a deciding factor should the Rough
Riders become too dangerous.
The title scrap already has mar
rowed to Tech and Eastern, who no
doubt will settle the issue next Tues
day at Eastern Stadium.
Outstanding for Roosevelt in games
thus far have been Joe Kolker, crack
tackle, and Eddie Vasvary, fleet guard.

Ingram Is Modest,
FOR Ingram the bout marks a DOS

FOR Ingram the bout marks a pos
sible stepping stone back to the
brief glimpse of national prominence
he nursed only few months ago. At
that time he was ranked eighth in his
division by the National Boxing Asso-
clation, but joey Archibald displayed
fine disregard of his newly achieved
laurels by registering kayo over the
creamy-complexioned local fighter.
Since that time Ingram has dropped
like an express elevator. At present
he has forgotten his national am
bitions and is concentrating on forging
back into the local picture. He ap-
peared to have regained some measure
OF his former prowess in his first fuss
with Reid, clever little puncher.
Due to the aggravated condition of
George Abrams newly caulifowered
left ear, Stanford Carrier will replace
the promising young middleweight in
the six-round semi-final. Carrier, a
rather awkward local fighter, stacks
up against Vic Finazzo of Baltimore.
Abrams ear was injured in training
about 10 days ago, but failed to mend
properly after being lanced.
Kanner Meets Swimmer.
MURRAY KANNER, the gawky Dis
trict heavyweight who doesn't
exactly create ripples of delight among
ringworms, but who has compiled an
enviable record, has been inserted in
another six-rounder. Kanner will
meet Jimmy Swimmer, product Of
Baltimore.
Another six-round bout lists Pete
Galiano, veteran Baltimore light
weight, clashing with Jack Giacalone,
Italian stablemate of Reid
The remainder of the card leans de-
cidedly toward the amateur side, with
Steve Mamakos and Maynard Daniels
making their second professional starts
in four -rounders. Mamakos will face
Charley Rondo, Baltimore welter-
weight, while Daniels bumps into Joe
Sofia, Baltimore heavyweight.
Action will get under way at $50
o'clock.

D. c. WOMEN SEEK
TITLE GOLF EVENT
Would Bring U. S. Tourney
to Washington Within
Next Six Years.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

v OOK for the national womens
golf championship in Washing
ton within half dozen years
IL Spurred on by the fact that
the United States Golf Association
has relaxed its attitude against send
ing major tournaments south into the
crab grass and Bermuda belt, the
woman golfers of the Capital are talk
ing in serious tones about strong
bid for the national title tourney
within few years. And the big point
is they have a good chance to get it.
Chevy Chase held the Curtis Cup
matches in September of 1884, little
affair which definitely placed the Ma
tional Capital on the map as a center
of major golf affairs for women.
d. c. Organization Highly Rated.
RUT above that the Women's Dis
trict Golf Association has grown
so in strength and influence that to-
lay it is one of the ranking feminine
links organizations in the country.
They're feeling their power now and
they want to show the world they can
handle big show as successfully as
they've handled the smaller sectional
women's affairs in this sector. The
course hasn't been chosen, but the
women feel that the matter of course
selection is comparatively minor. With
so many fine golf courses scattered
around the country within few miles
of the Capital they feel that the busi-
ness of choosing a course good enough
for the national won't be too hard q
job. The big point is that they want
the national and they have a way of
getting what they want.
Played Here Last in 190s:.. ~.
WE FEEL that We can handle the
big show as well as 1t has been
handled in any city in the country"
says Mrs. Ralph w. Payne, president
of the Wopen's District of Columbia
Golf Association. Our organization
is strong and well knit, and we feel
We have proven we can handle any
golf job that comes along Washing
ton hasn't staged a womens cham
p!onship in nearly three decades. and
we believe We deserve it." The ma
tional women's title tourney last was
played in Washington in 1903, when
golf barely was reaching out of the
guilty ball stage and before it really
became an athletic game.
So you can look for a determined
bid from the feminine sector for the
national title tourney. With their
proved determination and their execu-
tive ability the Washington women
could stage any kind of golf tourna-
ment as we'll as any other town. The
course? Probably Chevy Chase, Con-
gressional or Columbia. But the main
point is that they want it, and what
they want they usually get.

Appleton Came Same Way.

as courageous fighter. He relieved,
in addition to taking his regular turn,

best hurler under pressure. 1t adds
up to boost for Leonard in his third
crack at the major leagues.
Two years ago Griffith picked up
Pete Appleton from the Montreal club
via the draft. Appleton had failed
to make the big league grade four
times, but last year he proved to be
the most effective pitcher on the
Washington club and the fifth most
effective in the American League, &C.
cording to earned-run averages. Pete
won IA and lost 9 in 1886.
Last season Appleton did not fare
so we'll. He lost more than he won,
and after opening the 1887 campaign
as a starter Pete was shifted to the
bull-pen, where he remained for the
rest of the season. Still, Griffith un-
doubtedly got his $500 worth out OF
Appleton in 1886 alone, inasmuch
as Pete helped to pitch the Mats into
fourth place.

again with show patterned along
the same lines Ingram and Reid
will launch what is tantamount to
an unofficial featherweight tourney
with the winner slated to meet Lou
Gevinson.
The curly-haired Reid recently
fought a satisfying six-round draw
with Ingram here, so Ahearn is capi-
talizing on that bitter session by re-
matching the 126-pounders over a
longer distance. Reid probably will
be 6-5 favorite with Washingtons

Ill, Yet Wins Is Games.

EONARD was up with Brooklyn,
given a brief trial and let 90. The
Cardinals gave him briefer trial, and
from the Breadon firm Atlanta pur-
chased him. In the Southern Associa-
tion the word is that the Brooklyn and
st. Louis catchers did not care to
catch him because his best pitch is a
fine knuckler, which Leonard controls
we'll. The catchers, however, have no
idea where the ball will break.
Paul Richards, newly appointed
manager of the Crackers and formerly
Giant and Athletic catcher, dropped
many of Leonard's knuckle balls when
this pair formed Atlanta's battery
Richards. however, did not hesitate to
call for the knuckler in a pinch, ac-
cording to Atlanta correspondents, and
that is why Leonard Jared so well.
Leonard came to Atlanta in the
middle of the 1886 season and won 13
games while losing 8. Last season
