BASE BALL fans may give vent to their pent-up yelling en ergy by attending some of the exciting indoor base ball games that are fought out on the indoor base ball diamond In the drill hall of the armory of the Naval Battalion of the National (Juard of the District of Columbia. Two full teams, with a sufficient number of substitutes, have been formed, and these teams have been practicing for days, pre paring to get into battle practice with any indoor base ball team of the city which is willing to meet them, broad side on. While the men expect to get a great amount of pleasure out of their base ball playing they must also work at their military duties and earn their places on the team. Ensign Frank W. Sigourney is in charge of the indoor base ball work. The only men who will be allowed to play on the team are those who are regular in their attendance. Failure of a member of the team to attend drill on any night will bur him from enjoy ing a turn at the bat or even "in the field" the following Thursday, and if he misses too many drills he will be barred completely. Commander Joseph A. Dempf declares that he intends to encourage all kinds of healthy sports during the winter, both indoor and outdoor. He hopes to build up the battalion with men who will work to get their pleasure. Dur ing the drill nights the early part of the evening will be given over to hard drills and exercises and then the men will be released in plenty of time to get in a good game of indoor base ball. In preparing for a large number of games during the winter the large windows In the drill hall will be screened to protect them. $ * * * Court-martial proceedings were held at the Naval Battalion armory last Monday nt?ht. The papers were made out last week and were served by Chief Master at-Arms Connors, and tlie men appeared for trial Monday. Ensign Frank Sigour ney, sitting as summary court officer, made it plain to all of the five men who appeared for trial that Commander Dempf had determined to prevent the lax attendance at the drills of the bat talion. While the men are tried on a specified case of absenteeism, their gen eral record is taken into consideration in passing sentence. While Ensign Sigourney declared that he was not In clined to be too severe on men who do not attend because they work at night or because they are detained at home for any one of a number of reasons, he declared that the men must get into communication with their divisional of ficers by telephone or otherwise and be properly excused. In this connection Ensign Sigourney made a recommendation to Commander Dempf that he order all of the divisional officers to keep a strict record of all men who were excused and to report each case in writing to the executive officer for notation in the roll book. Com mander Dempf declared that he would see that this is done. The men were brought before the court on a charge of absence from drill in violation of the thirty-third article of war and neglect of duty, to the prejudice and good order and military discipline, in violation of the sixty second article of war. Specifically the charges were that the defendants "not being prevented by sickness or other necessity, did fail to repair at the fixed time to the place of drill appointed by his commanding officer." and "did fail to obtain leave of absence from the drill appointed by his commanding offi cer. as required by existing orders." Ensign Sigourney. with the aid of a corps of yeomen, will be at the armory today to make out a number of additional cases for trial before a summary court. The divisional offi cers will be called upon to appear as witnesses against the men who are to be tried. The issuance of these orders for court-martial puts into concrete form Commander Dempfs announced plan of enforcing attendance at drills. * * * if. So rapid is the work now progressing on the I'. S.

The painting on one side of the hull Is nearly finished, the calking of th? decks is about three-fourths completed, the carpentering work is practically finished and the engineering work has been completed. However, the engineer ing was the smallest part of the work. The regular crew aboard the vessel is assisting materially in the repair work, and Chief Gunner's Mate Schae fcr, U. S. X., and Yeoman Sofield. X. B. D. C., have been engaged in chipping the side and Riving her a coat of red lead, topped off with white paint. The calking of the vessel has taken the longest time, but with two men on the work this will soon be completed. Some new fittings will be put on board later, such as deck awnings, etc., and then the vessel will be ready to steam to her dock at the foot of Water and O streets southwest. She will be re turned to her dock by naval militiamen. When she returns. Commander Dempf promises that he will make up for the cruises lost while the vessel has been lying idle at the navy yard. * * * * A set of grate l>ars has been secured for the steam launch of the Xaval Bat talion. and early today the launch will shove off from the Xaval Battalion wharf with a party on board for a practice cruise down the Potomac. Tt is expected that they will be gone about half a day. The cruise will be strictly a practice one to teach the naval militiamen how to handle small boats and how to handle the engines. * * * * Commander Dempf is to be urged by Chief Carpenter's Mate F. P. Platz to enlist enough practical men to form a "carpenter's gang" at the Xaval Bat talion. It is believed that Commander Dempf will follow the suggestion and give rates to qualified men who enter the battalion at this time. To complete this necessary branch of the ship's per- I sonne) he is in need of three carpenter's mates, one plumber, one painter and two ship fitters. Interesting Golf Notes From the Local Clubs Walter R. Tuckcrman of Chevy Chase, who recently won the Columbia tourna ment. established a course record at Chevy Chase the other day when he registered a 70. This is the best score ever made over the course by an ama- 1 teur; in fact, there are probably very1 few professionals who could do it. This was made in a threesome in the qualify ing round for the "President's cup," in which he was playing E. M. Talcott and Wolcott Tuckerman. He went out in the exceptional figures of 34?threi strokes better than par?and came in in 30, which equals the coveted mark. His card follows, the card for the course also being given in the order that a comparison may be made: Tuckennau?

Tuckerman, Allan Lard, Morven Thompson and national champion, Jerome D. Travers, which were made in the thirty-six-hole foursome played over the Chevy Chase course immediately follow ing the Columbia tournament, Tucker man and Lard winning, four up and three to play. This match, the first ever played by the champion over the Chevy Chase links, is easily the most talked-of event which has occurred at the club in a long time. Thompson was not playing his best game, but the others were, as is at tested by the 150 for Travers, with Tuck erman and Lard but one and two strokes, respectively, behind him.

Fred McLeod, the professional at Co lumbia. will leave for Xew Orleans at the end of this month, where he will remain until April 1 as "pro" for the Audubon Golf Club. Columbia will be without a professional dpring this time. It is quite likely that the holes at the new Bannockburn course near Cabin John bridge will be named, following the plan in most of the bigger clubs in the country. One of these holes should certainly be named after Dr. Brown, as he has done practically all of the plan ning and overseeing of the work there. ] and the honor would certainly be a well deserved one. j In conection with the handicap question. I w hich is now the main subject of conver | sation among golfers, it has often been J asked at Chevy Chase just why Walter j Tuckerman, who is rated 4 in the na tional ratings, should be given 6 in the club handicaps. Last year the Xatlonal Golf Association had him at 3, and still the club rated him at 6. Allan Lard did a lucky piece of work at Chevy Chase recently in a regular event when he made a 3 on the eight eenth hole in almost pitch darkness. Saturday got dark exceptionally early, and many players, including Lard, were out on the course when the sun went down. Although It was too dark for them to see the ball after they hit it they kept right on. and whey they reached the eighteenth green Lard was just on in 2. He made a long putt of fully twenty feet, arid neither he nor his caddy could follow the ball, and were ready to give it up when they discovered it in the hole. Par for this hole is 4. As lias b#en stated before in this col umn, Secretary Brown of the Middle At ; lantie < Jolf Association has recently sent out a list of questions to golfers In the various clubs under the association ask ing them their opinion of the present handicap system, its application, etc. not as ofti> ials. but as individuals. These ! questions are listed below and Dr. Brown ! would be glad to receive any suggestions or answers to them from any golfer who is interested: 1. Are the pars of our courses correct? 2. Who should be held responsible for the correctness of the pars? What standard should be used In de t< rmlning the par of holes? 4. Should the Middle Atlantic Golf Association appoint a committee to verify the present 7?ars of the different courses? What authority should b?- given this committee? 6. Should the association have a handi cap committee? 7. Who is responsible for a player's , handicap? H. Is it fair to give a player the limit until he has won a few prizes in handi cap events? It. What effect does this practice hare 1 on handicap events? 1 <>. What should be required before a j player is given a handicap? 11. Should a player without an, estab lished handicap be eligible to enter a : handicap event? 12. What should he done with the player ! w ho wi'.l not or who simply does not turn in certified scores? 13. Would it make handicap events more popular If only players with estab lished handicaps were entitled to com pete for prizes? 14. Would it be better to offer a sep arate set of prizes and allow players not having record established handicaps to compete for them? 15. Should a player turning in a net score five or six strokes below the par of the course be awarded a prize? 1* What question or questions should be added to this list? The answers to the above which are re ceived will be segregated and the best suggestions will be presented at the ne.\t annual meeting of the association. MArowil Vwi THE banquet season for National Guard organizations Is on, and a number of the local com panies are reported to be plan ning for get-together affairs where dishes with all kinds om military names will be served. The Signal Corps is planning a "wireless banquet" the menu of which will include such dishes as "buz zer sausage," short circuit biscuits," di rect current turkey." yes, and everi "in sulated ice cream." Preliminary steps were taken last Thursday night for hold ing the banquet, which, it is evpected, will be given at the Signal Corps armory. It probably will be held some time in January, according to Lieut. Russell M. MaeLennan. Along about Christmas the Officers' As sociation of the 2d Infantry will give a banquet, and it is expected that its menu will include such things as "double time turkey." "bayonet ice crcam," and other dishes with military names. The proposal for this banquet was made by a committee of the association, which also proposed that the association should hold a military tumament some time around the first of the year. The report suggested military competitions of all kinds at which prizes would be offered, and it was also proposed to hire vaude ville talent as a part of the program. * * * * Although the report of the committee of the Officers' Association of the 2d In fantry which had under consideration the matter of enforcing attendance at drills of the National Guard of the Dis trict of Columbia has been made, the officers decided not to make it public at tliis time. The report will be thoroughly discussed by the whole association next Tuesday, and it is probable that publicity will be given at that time to sucli parts of the report as are approved by the association. * ? * * Amateur wireless operators are in de mand at the Signal Corps armory. Capt. O. C. Terry, commanding the Sig nal Corps company, is very anxious that at least a few of the large num ber of amateur wireless operators in this city should join the Signal Corps, where they could get much practice in addition to learning all about the big wireless outfits and the small field wire less sets used by troops in the field. If Cupt. Terry is enabled to carry out his plans he will detail one member of his command at the armory every night to talk with the amateur wire less members of his command who would be at their wireless sets in their homes. On drill nights they would be required to report to take lectures which are given on various matters which are handled by the Sig nal Corps. The advantages of an enlistment in the Signal Corps are many. It is a place where amateurs in all branches of electricity may become proficient. The efforts of Capt. Terry to get more wireless operators is a part of his plan to increase the company to what is known as a type A. Since the first announcement of his plans the company has been growing steadily until he now needs only about thirty men to complete the personnel which it is necessary to have in order to have the War Department designate it as a type A company. Morse telegraph operators also are in demand in the Signal Corps and Capt. Terry has sent out his scouts in an effort to get ten or twelve more telegraph operators to enlist in the command. Lieut. Russell M. MacLen nan does not believe there will be any trouble in getting this number to en list. There will be lots of pleasure for the officers and enlisted personnel of the command during the year, and Capt. Terry declares that he proposes to have a number of entertainments to furnish relaxation for the men after their long periods of drills. .* * * * Lieut. Richardson. U. S. A., who in spected th- equipment of the battery last Tuesday, declared to those at the armory that he found the equipment in excellent condition, and that the onlv criticism he could offer was that there was not a sufficient supply of certain parts. ^ ^ *r ^ Those who have been attending the supply officers' schools this year be lieve that they should have a yell like any other educational institution. So this it is, according to those in well informed circles: Rah, rah. rah, R-A-T-S, rats. Rah, rah, rah. Rah, rah, rah.

The field hospital boys expect to get a lot of exercise for their lungs during the year by cheer ing their team to success. * * * * The veteran sergeant of the Hospital Corps is Franklin P. Weller. He has an unbroken record of twenty-one years continuous service, and has been ? -?? ' ? ftlaced on special duty as pharmacist n the field hospital dispensary. * # ? * United States Army officers detailed with the organized militia may use official penalty envelopes in the trans action of their official business, accord ing to a ruling by Postmaster General Burleson. The regular service "officers also may inclose penalty envelopes when an official reply Is desired. * * * * In the absence of a large National Guard armory in the District, where each command may have Its clubrooms. the progressive Company K of the -d In fantry started plans moving last Monday night for obtaining additional quarters in the Y. M. C. A. building, and also to pro vide a clubroom for the officers and en listed men of the company where they may spend their evenings In good fellow ship. The movement was thoroughly discuss ed at a dinner last Wednesday evening, attended by officials of the Y. M. C. A and a delegation from Company K. At the same time extensive preparations were made for obtaining a large number of recruits for this command. A com mittee from the company is now engaged in trying to obtain recruits from the membership of the Y. M. C. A., and in this manner the company officers hope to maintain the already high standard of the organization. A "recruit meeting" is to be held at the Y. M. C. A. headquarters next Wed nesday evening, and it is believed that a large number of members of the Y. M. C. A. will attend. At that time William Knowles Cooper, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will tell of the relation be tween his organization and Company K. On the other hand, Capt. L?ucien B. Er nest, commanding Company K, will ex plain to the association men the advan tages to be gained by enlisting In his company. There will be other entertain ment features. Refreshments will be served. The company last Wednesday evening had a very profitable drill period, during which the company was put through all of the paces of close and extended order, together with signaling. * ? * ? The Instruction course in small-arms tiring began last Friday night, in ac cordance with orders Just issued at the National Guard headquarters, In The Star building. There will be all kinds of instruction for the officers and en listed personnel of the National Guard, and no officer or man will be allowed to pass up this Instruction, unless he has qualified as marksman or better. The course prescribed by the order is as follows: Preliminary instruction with rifle, gallery practice and range practice. ' For voluntary practice, the gallery will be opened Monday evenings and daily, Saturday and Sunday excepted, from 1:30 until 6 p.m. until May 1, 1914. Saturday the gallery will be turned over to the Officers' Revolver As sociation. The prescribed course of gal lery practice will be fired from Feb ruary 1 to April 30, 1914. i No officer or enlisted man who has not qualified as a result of the tests will be permitted to tire in the rifle gallery. The preliminary Instruction will be held in the non-commissioned officers' school- | room, and will be under charge of an , instructor-sergeant. Two expert shots will be detailed from each battalion commander as his assistants. "The object of gallery practice," says the order, "Is to teach the recruit a practical application of the principles already learned in the preliminary in struction, the correct position for each class of fire, the use of the sling, holding and sight-setting. Any man j who shows that he has not understood the principles of aiming will be returned to the instructor in charge of pre liminary exercises for additional in struction. At the conclusion of the gal lery practice season the inspector of small-arms practice" will furnish com pany commanders with lists of men of their companies who have qualified in gallery practice." Company commanders also are order ed to instruct their commands in] simulated magazine fire with dummy; cartridges. The order commands the heads of the organizations to commence the prac tice prescribed in it with the least practicable delay, after the formation of companies at assembly for drills. Separate detachments will be formed of men who are to receive preliminary instruction and of those who are to flre in the gallery. These detachments will be formed without arms and will be marched under a non-commissicned officer to the place of Instruction and report to the proper Instructor. The remainder of the company Is ordered to continue the regular evening's drill. Battalion commanders, their staff's and non-commissioned staffs are or dered to flre the gallery course with their battalions. Regimental field and staff officers and non-commissioned staff, officers of staff departments and post non-commissioned staff are or dered to flre Monday evenings. The commanding officers of organiza tions armed with the revolver have been ordered to arrange for prelimi nary practice with that arm. * $ ft ft ft fr ft ft ft ftftc) ft ft rfi ft ft ft ft $ ft ft ft foyfocfo | RAINCOATS ?

Dr. William M. Davidson, superintend ent of public schools; Ernest H. Daniel, vice president of the board of education; Ernest L. Thurston, assistant superin tendent of schools, and emory Wll | son. principal of Central High School, were among the speakers at a celebra tion held at Central last evening to mark the closing of the foot ball season. Much of the evening was devoted to school songs and yells. Although Cen tral's foot ball season this year was not as full of victory as was that ol' last year, no one would have known it from the enthusiasm with which the pupils and friends of the schools cheered for the team. Celebration in Sections. The celebration was divided Into two parts. First came a supper of turkey, cranberry sauce and other things. The feast was presented and arranged by the girls of the senior class, and was opan only to honor guests and members of the team. The second part took place in the assembly hall, which was tilled to its capacity. In both halves of the celebration the speakers had to take part. In addition to those already named several of the boys most prominent on the team. Includ ing those who are to graduate bei'ore an other athletic season arrives, spoke brief ly, as did also Thomas Kirby and John Thomas, the coaches; James tiripp, a captain of one of the old teams; Robert Acorn, captain of this year's team; Capt. Richard, who was just elected to fill that position through the next seaso*. and Charles Shaw and Miss Marjorie Barnes, two former debaters of the institution. New Song a Feature. One of the features of the festivities was the singing of a new song, recently composed by Miss C. A. Orr, a teacher of the school. Six of the players on the team this sea son are members of the junior class and are expected to take part in the gridiron battles of next year.

The visitors were able to make but three first downs. The Ohioans scored two touchdowns in each of the first three periods, and in the last period crossed North western's goal line three times. Coach Wilie's men presented a varied offense, making use of old-style plays, forward passes, fakes and tricks for long gains. Hlghtower. Xorthwestern's speedy quar terback. was closely watched. Although he showed flashes of speed at times, lie seldom gained more than a yard or two. In the third quarter. Hobt, a substitute half, ran 5i? yards for a touchdown after one minute of play. Briggs.
