An Omen of Success.
Some idea of the way in which

added, can be found in reports from
Col Chauncy Parker, chairman of

reported that contributors ap-

amounts nearly equal to or slightly
higher than amounts given by the

they did not know when he would

AS the joint conference was set,
the question of arbitration still ap-
peared to be the major obstacle, II
not the only one, to ending the strike
The consensus was that if basis
for arbitration can be agreed upon
workers will return to their JOBS
Immediately.
Farley Held All Day.
Today's sudden call for the joint
meeting followed yesterdays all-day

Nothing to report" That same

were planned today. These two pairs

Joint meeting of the advisers and

Then, with the separate confer
ences scheduled and without ex-
planation for the seeming favorable
change in plans, Mr.. Mills an
nounced today's joint conference.
Also on today's list of conferences
was one of District Commissioner
GUY Mason and Mr.. Mills.

However, despite his inquiries
Mr.. Mason and others in close touch
with the situation were agreed tina
the District Commissioners lack au'
thoritx to compel arbitration or an!
other measures which might end thu

part the District officials might pla!

Only Central, Beaten
By Bulls, Is Loser
In Six Struggles

Coach Tommy Nolan of Anacostia
Highs basket ball team would be
much happier if the Indians would
display the kind of clutch playing
they used yesterday against Dewitt
in some of the interhigh champion
ship series games. At least two OF
those title games would have gone
to Anacostia instead of the other
way If the Indians would finish as
strong as they did while upsetting
Dewitt, 41-39, in an overtime battle
Another last-minute drive was
responsible for Eastern's 1922 win
over st. Johns to help District pub

Tech topped George Washington
High, 42-32; Coolidge defeated
Montgomery Blair, 27-12, and West

Gene Schroeder provided much of
the punch yesterday for Anacostia,
which had won only one of nine
previous games, looping through 10
points. The game was tied, 35-35,
in regulation time and the deciding
score in overtime was tossed in by

Lions Streak Snaps
As Defense FIops
Against Rovers
By BOB MCLEAN.

The Washington Lions have hit
the skids again after six 1916
matches without defeat and their
present difficulties best can be ex-
planned by baseball phrase: Good
hit, no field.
Against New York last night In
Ullne Arena, the Lions attack was
savage, forcing the Rovers' brilliant
Bill Sutherland to make 81 saves
and the shutout king of the Eastern
Hockey League was plain lucky on
at least five Of them. But the
Washington defense just wasn't
there and the New Yorkers easilv
copped a AZ decision.
On one occasion New York's Fred
Shero took the puck behind his
own blue line and leisurely skated
down the ice to pink the rubber
into the nets as the Lion secondary
looked on with admiration. In an
other instance. Lion Goalie Moe
Roberts left his cage and went Is

shortcomings of present Lion de-
fensemen: Hal Hursley-tough and
aggressive, but he likes to plav wing
and score goals. When he is on the
Ice there is only one man playing on
defense. Hugh Currie-the Lions
best, but he is inexperienced and
gets little help. Joe Fennell-the
little man who isn't there. Hugh
Gustafson-not enough competitive
fire.
Forward-looking notes: The Lions.
still in the league cellar four points
behind Baltimore and 28 markers
on the pace set by the league-lead-
ing Boston Olympics, meet the Pics
here Friday, then hit the road for
the duration of the Ice-Capades.

Ten more patrolmen and six
