The victory hungry Lions, who ab-

Hockey League matches last night
in Buffalo, are hoping to complete a
trade which would give them a new
forward and defenseman. The trade.
If completed today as expected,

Rockets at Uline Arena.
In announcing the proposed swap,
the Lion management did not di-

of the cellar-dwelling Rockets, who
took a 1913 pasting from the Reds

The Bisons scored three goals in
the first period and each team
scored two in the second. The
Lions added another in the third.

close when held to draw by Strib-

Upset Central Aims
To Recoup as Series
Resumes Tomorrow

The first week Of the District pub
lie high basket ball title series shows
that the schoolboy version of the
game this year is a particularly fast
one. All the teams seem addicted
to the fast break, which makes for
slam-bang action. To make the
series more exciting, Defending
Champion Central, which was ex-
pected to have things pretty much
its own way this season, already has
absorbed one setback.
That was one-point loss to
Coolidge last week and, of course,
the Vikings still are plenty tough.
But now nobody Is handing them
the title without AN argument.
They'll be favored to get back in
the thick of the race tomorrow aft
ernoon when they take on Ana
costa in the second game of a
double-header at the National
Guard Armory.
Opening the twin bill at $50 pm
is Western against Eastern. Both
were winners last Saturday night,
and whichever wins tomorrow will
have undisputed possession of first
place. 1t is too early for such q
standing to indicate much, however.
Western has the player who was
the individual star of last week s
opening action. He is Bucky Poston
who counted Is points toward
Westerns victory over Anacostia,
and Bucky seems able to keep up a
pace similar to that all year.

It's no accident that Bucky is a

He started playing with one at the
Western Branch Boys Club when
6 years old and has been at 1t since.
In 1916, just before joining the
Western High squad, he was selected

Atomic Time May Take Place
OF Current Measure Systems

PHILADELPHIA.-The world i:
about to face a choice between two
kinds Of time, because the earth's
rate Of rotation is slowing.
This is the message of the worlds
chief timekeeper, Britain's royal
astronomer, Sir Harold Spencer
Jones, chief of Greenwich time.
He is having trouble with the length
of the day, he reported to the
American philosophical society.
He said that because of the grad
ual slowing in the earth's rotation
time today is not the same as in
Babylonian days. r e C Of
B%abylonian astronomers show this.
Time is slower now because the
earth takes longer to reel off "a
hours.
That will go on, Sir Harold said,
until it will take AZ of the present
days for the earth to make one
turn on its axis.
In that day, too, the earth will
always present the same face to
the moon, because the moons
motion around the earth will be
slower. You will have to travel
half way around the world then
to see the moon if you happen to
live on the wrong side.
Sir Harold said that although
this long day is too remote to be
important now, its beginnings are
about at the parting Of the ways.
Until now clocks haven't been
accurate enough to be bothered.
But Sir Harold said the new atomic
clock about to be built by the ma
bureau of standards, Wash
will really differ from the
time shown by present Greenwich
methods of relying on the earth's
rotation. The atomic clocks will be
correct. Mother earth will be
The showdown is due partly to the
drag, that is friction, of tides in
seas. The moon raises
tides. 1t works just like the
