on
Georgetown will not return to Vir
ginia tlio gold plaques that were award
ed on Saturday evening at Convention
Hall through tlio decision of tlio of
ficials who ruled that the Southerners
had lost through the uctlon of Captain
Todd in stepping into the inllcld near
one of tlio corners on tho first relay
Georgetown made no crotest at tho
time, but as soon as Captain Davis
heard that his team had been declared
tho victor through tho technicality, he
went to tho Virginia team and o(Tercd to
return tho prizes. Neither Captain
Todd nor Coach Lanlgnn would see It
that way, and they refused to accept
tho handsomo trophies.
Davis tried to force tho prizes on tho
Virginians, but they Insisted they would
not havo them. Davis talked with the
other Georgetown oftlclals, nnd It has
been decided that as long as Virginia
would not take tho plaques on Satur
day night they will not bo offered
again.
That Todd was clearly wrong In at
tempting to get lnstdo on Eller and
thereby forco himself Inside the "rail."
li pretty generally conceded, but tho
victory was such a hollow one that
the Georgetown men were willing to
pass up the prizes that wero sup
posed to be emblematic of superiority
In the annual meeting.
The Georgetown team Is especially In
dignant at the persistent criticism that
has been aimed at It Blnco tho un
fortunate dlsbaiment, but sees no other
way out of tho tangle since Virginia
spurned tho offer of the prizes.
The race Saturday ended George
town's Indoor season, and while two
team prizes were won by scoring tho
greatest number of points in Individual
events, the relay team was thrice beaten.

OF BORLAND BILL
Automobile Association
Heads Favor Highway for
Lincoln Memorial.
By HARRY WARD.
A blR delegation of ofliclalH und mem
beis of tho American Automobile Asso
ciation will arrive In Washington today
to attend a hearing before tho House
Committee on tho Library. They will
advocate the enactment of Congressman
Borland's bill providing that tho Lin
coln memorial ahdll bo In the lorm of a
highway extending fiom Washington to
Gettysburg. Not only have tho motoi
ing otganizatlons enthusiastically In
dorsed tho Borland bill, but a number
of patriotic societies have advocated tho
building of a highway instead of a
Greek temple In Potomac Park.
Speaker Champ Clark, a member of
the memorial commission, has an
nounced himself for the highway propo
sition. "If Abiaham Lincoln could be con
sulted about spending $2,000,000 to build
him a mcmoiial," said Speaker Claik,
"ho would undoubtedly want ono that
would do somebody that is now living
or to Use hereafter, some good; and
as his fame Is Inseparably linked up
with Washington and Gettysburg, I
suppose ho -would believe that a road
would be of some service, and a monu
ment, too.'
"To laymen thero may bo some
thing of mjstcry In the talk of a
tire manufacturer about 'double cur
ing' a tiro for an automobilo or motor
cycle, but tho tire man himself con
siders It perfectly simple," said F. W.
Powers, manager of tho Washington
branch of tho Goodyear Tire and Rub
ber Compan. "Tho first curing
process for a Goodyear tire Is in a
tire mould This Is continued Just
long enough to give the tiro its shape
and to insure that tho layers of fab
ric and gum of tho carcass have been
cemented together thoroughly. The
tire Is then taken out of tho mould
and carefully Inspected. AJter It has
passed this Inspection the surface is
roughened and the heavy rubber
tread attached. When tho tread is in
position an air bag Is placed Inside
the carcass and tho tire is wrapped
(Irmly in a long- strip of damp muslin.
Then the air bag is Inflated so that
the tire, in tho llnal cure, will bo dis
tended and tako exactly the shape It
will take when In use later on By
this means tho tire is cured in just
the right shape and the possibility
of unbalanced strains Is eliminated."
Among the "thrillers" which will be
seen on the State fair circut of 1912
will be two portable automobile
motordromes on which motor cars
will raco at top speed In the attitude
of tiles on the wall. Both promoters
will use Flanders "20" cars.

JUMPING
A very tired youth was Herman Hazzem, pride of
the Ham Hollow circuit, when morning came. The
conductor had cut off yards and yards of his ticket and
only a stub remained. Then the blue-coated ofliclal
took that and Herman began to fear he might be kicked
off tho train without something to
Also, Herman remembered that ho
and thero wasn't a bit left of that squash pic, made for
him by Tillio Jones.
"Next stop is Washington Washington!" called out
a brakeman. Herman had doped him out to be at least
tho vice president of tho road and was not a little sur
prised to hear him shout.
Herman picked up his carpet bag, seized his prize
bat, and walked down the aisle toward the end of the
car. He stood there for fully five minutes before he
heard tho laughter of tho other passengers. But he
didn't pay any attention to them.
"Somebody muBt have cracked a Joke," he thought.
They Were All Laughing.
At last the laughter became so loud and general that
he looked around. No ono was looking at him, but
they wore all laughing. He noticed, too, that he waB
the only passenger who was ready to leave tho train.
He was deep in thought about this when tho conductor
came in.
"When does this here train stop?" asked Herman.
"In fifteen minutes," was tho reply.
Then Herman understood the joke that had set ev
erybody laughing. He sat down
At last the train was running through tho yards, by
freight cars, water tankB, and long empty trains of
motionless passenger cars. "Gosh, this, is a big town,"
murmured Herman.

"Say, Mister, how'Il I got to tho manager of tho big

"Fifteenth and H streets," was tho answer. So
Herman started to walk.
He Had Lost Himself.
In ten minutes ho had lost himself in the Capitol

"Quito a novel way to advertise the ball team," re
marked a man, seeing the procession.
Reaching Fourteenth street about a hundred men
nnd boys wero following along behind. Herman Haz
zem began to think.
"Gee, they must know all about me here. Perhaps
they read it in tho paper," he thought. "Oh, well, I
like this being a hero. Suits me." And his chest began
to protrude.
The manager of the big league team was standing
in front of the building where his office was when ho
saw tho mob coming along the street. In front ho saw
Herman Hazzem, pride of the Ham Hollow circuit,
marching proudly. He took In tho situation at a glance.
