 They pushed through the gate; they entered the house without knocking. A huge fire blazed on the hearth. Singing and dancing filled the low-ceilinged room. Marie pulled her friend towards a slight figure sitting in chair. "This is my mother" she said
 At once the room was in an up- roar. People flocked about the new guests, all talking together, kissing Marie, laughing and shouting.

By

TIC BILL, in spite of his six H foot four was a boy at heart. O Boss of a logging crew he could be plenty stern when occa- sion demanded, but a Christmas tree and all the lights and cheer that goes with it was his weakness.
 "Christmas is no fun without kids" was the way he put it. But, it looked like Bill was doomed to disappointment this year.
 The crew were lounging around the fire after a hard days work when Pudgy Sam, the cook, shook the ashes out of his pipe and said: "What's the reason we can't have

Teams Clash
At Tech HiQh
School
BY SID KATZNELL

by SID AAIANELL
Recently a practical sportsman
said:
"Never try to dope out a race
with a pencil and paper, you
invariably write down the wrong
answer"
Disregarding the Sportsman'S
warning, local dopesters gave Co
lumbia Beverage little considera-
ton in the Washington Times
Community Center Basketball
League championship race at the
beginning of the season, but today
the small but capable quintet holds
the top position with three VIC
tories and no defeats.
The Columbia boys further DEM
onstrated their proficiency on the
courts Saturday night when they
halted a 14game winning streak
of the powerful Ft. Humphrey Col
legians, composed of former col
lege aces from all over the United
States. The score was 35 to 27.
Meet Senate Tonight
Tonight the Beverage sharp
shooters will have to be in their
best shooting mood-for they cross
baskets with the Senate Beermen
who are tied with Bureau OF In
vestigation for second place with
two triumphs and no losses. The
game features a two-game league
program at Tech High School.

mencing at 7:15.
Two former Central High School
captains are cavorting for Colum-
bia. They are Russ LampSon, for
ward, and Eve: EFT Cross, guard.
However, the leading scorer on
the team is a rail, blonde, blue
eyed youngster who answers to the
name of Pep" Hunter, who never
played in high school competition
but has qualified himself as one
of the most competent players in
the Times League.
For the past two years. Senate
Beer has forged steadily ahead in
the unlimited circles and today it
boasts one of the best passing COM
binations on the local floors. In
Huck Cavanaugh, Gay Edlein and
Billy Mitchell, Senate has three Of
the finest paSSers in the circuit.

The league will again slice 10
per cent of its gate tonight and
turned it over to flood sufferers and
will continue to do so until the
Washington quota has been
reached.
Little Tavern pulled the biggest
surprise of the season Saturday
night when it defeated the Jewish
Community Center, 33 to 81. in an
extra period. This was the second
setback for j. C. c., which was one

However, it is no disgrace to be
beaten by a team of Little Tavern'S
caliber. This aggregation points

Harris with requests that Hogan
be assigned to catch their games.
Bulging waist lines have driven
ball players out of the majors be-
fore, but it is the chest line that
bothers Hogan. During his in
activity last year a coating of fat
formed over his shoulder and
chest, binding his throwing mus
cles so that he had to develop a
side arm motion to get the ball
down to second base.
Naturally, Hogan could not
throw with any power, and if he
fails to break down those SUI
perfluous tissues at Hot Springs, he
will experience difficulty in his
efforts to make the team.
"I'lI be ready to go when the
gong rings" said Hogan, as he
grabbed his bag and made off
for the railroad station. I'm

Perhaps a DiMaggio by any
