The Clayton Hawks again had
another successful week playing
basketball. Including last weeks
games oru winning streak was ex-
tended to six games. The teams
that were defeated are: StGeorges,
Frederick, Townsend two games,
and Dover two games. These
games were not close as 1.-THE
Hawks showed their superior
strength throughout. Billy Good
ing, who was the center for the
Hawks, returned to college, and his
position was replaced by Harry
Still. The Hawks have asked the
John Bassett Moore School Team
for game, but Coach Pearl, it
seems, thinks the competition is
much too keen. A game between
these two teams would cause much
excitement and discussion. Most
of the players on the Hawks team
are alumni of John Bassett Moore
High, and we are very anxious to
see which team is the stronger.
Let's all hope that a game will be
arranged between The Hawks and
the John Bassett Moore School.
The box scores of our games dur

INSPECTION ASKED
OF STREET CARS.
Trinidad Citizens Question
Fitness in Letter to
Utilities Body.

A closer inspection of all Of the
rolling stock of the Capital Transit
Co. by the Public Utilities Commission
to determine the fitness of the street
cars for public use was urged last night
by the Trinidad Citizens Association
at meeting held in the Wheatley
School.
President George ]. Cleary said since
more than score Of persons were
injured following fire in one OF the
obsolete street cars several weeks ago
the engineers of the Public Utilities
Commission should inspect all of the
equipment being used to transport the
public. Two other fires have occurred
since this time, Cleary continued, but
luckily no one was hurt either time.
Car Fire in Southeast.
One Of the street car fires occurred
Yesterday at Seventeenth and Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast after the car
had discharged passengers, Cleary said.
In the letter to the Public Utilities
Commission the citizens pointed out
that a number of the obsolete and
Junk cars are now on the H street
line. Although some of them are
placed on a siding near Fifteenth and
H streets northeast, apparently to re-
move them from service, they are
pressed into service on some occasions.
Double Parking Protested.
In letter to the commander of the
ninth police precinct the group asked
that the regulation compelling trucks
loading and unloading to use the
designated spots be enforced 1t was
said that the operators of the trucks
park double in the northeast while
making deliveries when an unloading
zone is but several feet away.
Enactment of the proposed bill of
Representative Sacks, now pending in
Congress, providing for daylight-saving
time was urged. An appropriation OF
S200000 to enlarge the boiler shop at
the Washington Navy Yard to permit
more ordnance work to be carried On
here will be sought by the organiza-
ton.

NAVY MAY FORM
UNIT OF YACHTMEN
Californian Reveals Plans
Made to Offer Rating to
125,O00 Sportsmen.
p the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 5.-A plan to
offer every one Of the $4,000 yachts
men in the United States an unoflcial
naval rating as q preparation for ma
tional sea defense was made public
today by DR.. Albert Soiland Of Los
Angeles, commander, Medical Corps.
United States Naval Reserve.
DR.. Soiland said the details are
under consideration by onlcials Of the
United States Navy and should be
worked out by Fall. The plan Is
entirely voluntary.
DR.. Soiland, representative Of the
United States Navy at the Berlin
Olympics last Summer and one Of the
best-known yachtsmen on the Pacific
Coast, said today before sailing for
Norway:
"On June l in Washington, at the
invitation Of the United States Bu-
reau Of Navigation, representatives Of
four yachting authorities met to con-
slider this plan. The four were the
North American Yachting Association,
the United States Power Boat Squad
rons, Inc; the American Power Boat
Association and the Pacific Coast
Yachting Association.
They considered plans for man
power In emergency.
The idea discussed was to ask each
yachtsman volunteering to place his
name. age and qualifications as 4
sailor with the commandant Of his
own United States naval district He
would be enrolled under naval routine
in an association probably to be called
the United States Naval Yachting
Auxiliary.
The Navy Department is preparing
tentative schedule OF rules and regu-
lations to be submitted to all the au-
thorized yachting bodies In the United
States. The idea has the support of
President Roosevelt, the chief Of op-
erations OF the Navy, the chief of
navigation and line officers"
