District Red Cross
Steps Up Output
Of Woo|en C|othinq
3h Tons Of Yarn Set
In 4-Month Quota,
Chapter Meeting Told

More than 8ia tons of Red Cross
wool yarn inched through the fingers
of local girls and matrons during
1910, Mrs. James T. Nicholson told
the annual meeting of the District
Chapter Of the Red Cross yesterday.
This was many times" what had
been accomplished in other recent
years.
This year the feat may be doubled
A quota of 3l2 tons has been set
for the first four months and the
nccdlers are we'll ahead of schedule
A thousand garments were shipped
to Britain early this month. At the
chapter house work 45 volunteers
who do nothing but give out wool
and take in the finished product,
done in tasteful maroon, blue. brown
or gray, Mrs. Nicholson said
More than $1,000 sewn garments
also were made by 2,735 volunteers
sewing a total of 1898 hours, it
was reported by Mrs. J. H. Fishback
Diplomatic Set Active.
Mrs. Wallace Lind told the an
nual meeting, held in the new In
terror auditorium, that rs foreign
units-in most cases headed by am
bassadors' and ministers wives
helped turn out 1887 surgical
dressings during 1910.
The Red Cross chapter is now
laborlng on a quota of over half a
million dressings for the United
States Army, with about 5000 wom-
an volunteers at work. This does
not include the women who keep
on with the routine job of furnish
ing surgical dressings for local hos
pitfalls. Last year over a quarter
million bandages we're made for
this purpose.
Red Cross volunteers are also
continuing with other peace-time
tasks. Over 10000 hours were spent
transcribing books into Braille for
the blind, printing and binding
them, Mrs. John E. Ewell reported.
More than 10000 pages were tram
scribed-and 36 decks of Braille
playing cards manufactured. Or
ders have come from as far away
as New Zealand.
Partly as long-range defense
measure, first aid training here is
being expanded, it was announced
by DR.. Roy L. Sexton. He said so
physical education instructors Of
the public schools would begin an
intensive first aid course today at

Walter Scherer, 24-year-old de-
fenseman who has been playing with
the Sydney (Nova SCOTIA team of
the Colliery League, yesterday ac-
cepted an invitation to finish the
Eastern Amateur Hockey League sea-
son as a member of the Washington
Eagles.
Scherer, 5-foot 10-inch 180-pound-
er, was an all-Colliery League selec-
ton last season and is reported to
be an opportune scorer. He replaces
Defenseman Johnny McTeer, re-
Gently released by the Eagles.
The newest Eagle is expected to
report here in time for Friday nights
game with the Jersey Skeeters at
Riverside Stadium. Scherer now
looms as the only new player to be
signed by the Eagles, inasmuch as a
contemplated deal with the New
York RoverS collapsed and no other
players of the experienced type de-
sired by Coach Redvers Mackenzie
appear available.
Mike Germann, released but placed
on probation when he asked Mac
kenzie for another trial, now seems
assured to stick the remainder of
the season. Mike, wingman, may
be shifted to defense, although that
is unlikely now with the addition
of Scherer.

Walter Buddy Thomas, jr., son
of the old-time ring star, Rat"
Thomas, heads the list of Prince

Young Thomas not only won the
novice championship at his weight
in the recent Golden Gloves tourna-
ment but was adjudged the out
standing ringman in that classical
ton.
All other candidates will register
as novices and for the majority it
will be their first official tournament
appearance. Two exceptions are
Vernon Todd, a middleweight, and
Dick Hunt, featherweight. Todd
reached the semi-finals in the 147-
pound division of the Golden Gloves
but since has taken on too much
weight to fight in that class and is

Washington is within $4,000 OF

The National League men tell
me it will cost about $4,000 a year

considerable more expense than an

Select Bartholomew
To Beot Freisineer
In Meet at UIine's

Fall of Leo Freisinger as national
indoor speed skating champion Is
being prophesied by Southeastern
Skating Association off1cials, who.
with Uline- -Ice-Arena are sponsor
ing the national championships next
Saturday and Sunday. This predic-
ton was based on the receipt of the
entry of Ken Bartholomew, husky
Minneapolis speedster.
Bartholomew, who recently de-
throned Freisinger at the national
outdoor event at La Crosse, Wis, and
repeated in the recent North
American outdoor championships at
Schenectady, N. Y, is one of quar-
tet of challengers for Freisinger's
crown, won in 1899 and which was
uncontested last year.
FreiSinger Faster Indoors.
Freisinger, who already had for
warded his entry, is determined to
retain his laurels. Reputedly he is
faster indoors than outside. Besides
being the present national indoor
champion, Freisinger is also
former Olympic star. Bartholomew,
naccordance with his recent La
Crosse and Schenectady victories,
wears the North American and ma
tional outdoor crowns.
In addition to Bartholomew
challenge, three others have entered
the senior events who cannot be
overlooked and who may upset the
favored pair. They are Vic Ron
chette Of Chicago, former North
American outdoor champion: Del
Lamb of Milwaukee, former North
American outdoor titleholder and
also a former member of the United
States Olympic team, and Chuck
Leighton of Minneapolis. recent
winner of the New York Daily
News Silver Skate championships,
which annually pack Madison
Square Garden.
Compete for 27 Titles.
Twenty-seven national titles will
be at stake in the meet, which
Southeastern officials, headed by
DR.. Christopher Meyer, state is the
most important speed-skating event
of the year.
Events will be held in nine classes,
five for men and four for women.
The mems divisions include events
for seniors, Intermediates (under
l8 years., juniors (under Is years.,
juveniles (under IA years. and

The Washington Athletic Asso-

nitely are on, Chairman Harry
Helme announced last night.
Entry blanks have been distrib-
uted to leading colleges throughout
the East and South Atlantic sector
and prospects are bright for i'm
porting a star-spangled field for
the associations initial venture In
promotion.
The games have been scheduled
definitely a week. Helme said, but
through a misunderstanding the
fact has not been publicized. We
are not only going through with our
original plan, but believe it will re-
suit in big success"
Only Rice Is Tied Up.
The meet is scheduled March IS,
Helme and his associates have CON-
municated with Waiter Mehl, John
MunSki, Leslie MacMitchell and
other mile stars and believe they
have good chance of bringing
them here for a feature race.
But We haven't got them on the
dotted line yet" Helme warns. I'VE
don't want to mention any names
until we are certain they'll be here.
We are certain, for example,
Gregory Rice won't be able to make
1t. He's running at Butler Univer-
slty that night. Most of the other
top-flight runners will be available
and we have a good chance of get
ting them"
Events have been scheduled for
schoolboys, collegians, clubmen and
men serving in the armed forces Of
the Government.
Scholastic tests will be a Seward
sprint and 1000-yard run, high
jump and classified 1-mile relays.
Georgetown 10 Take Part.
The collegians will stretch their
legs in 5O-yard sprint. 44O-yard
cash, 08O-yard run, 1-mile run and
l-mile relays.
Open events figure to draw the
largest fields. The program in this
bracket includes 50-yard sprint
and high hurdles test over the same
distance, 1,000-yard handicap.
2-mile handicap, classified mile re-
lays, l6-pound shot, high jump and
pole vault.
Hap Hardell, Georgetown coach,
said Georgetown probably would
have at least one mile relay quartet
in action, along with Al Blozis, its
champion Shot-putter.
Although the Hoyas are the only
local group definitely committed to
run, it is believed other colleges in
this bailiwick will enter large
squads.

"Of course, aside from the fact

mands, with that $4,000 guaran-

cial items, I think we will have

too"

AS to the possibility of a major
Ice show patronage fight coming up
next winter between Uline and S. G..
Leoff1er, who runs the Riverside
rink, Uline knows nothing of it. "I
have not met Mr.. Leoff1er," he said.
I have met Mr.. Costigan, who is
one of Mr.. Bcoff1er's partners, but
I have not met Mr.. Leoff1er himself
No, do not think there will be
any war as you might call it. The
patrons themselves will decide where
they want to 60"
Which is exactly the way Mr..
Leoffier feels. He said the same
thing himself few days ago.
