John Wall Was Electric. The Wizards took Game 1 over the Hawks, 1. John Wall’s third quarter. Down by three at halftime, the Wizards broke things open to take a controlling lead in the third, and a 1. Wall was much of the reason. That made for a really fun quarter- long personal highlight reel, with alley- oop passes from Markieff Morris and Marcin Gortat alongside a few perfect drives and sweet assists: Other Wall highlights from today include a ridiculous leap up and over the bench while chasing a loose ball: Expect continued fun from Wall in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Chevalier is a sword- swallower, not one of the every- day sort, but a sword swallower who doesn't stop with one sword, but who actually swallows a dozen at one time. He has been a long- time attraction at the London Aquarium where he acquired the name of the human ostrich. Fritz also borrows watches from persons in the audience, and they slip into his stomach as easily as the swords. Chevalier Fritz's watch swallowing got him into serious trouble at the London Aquarium, where he was for a long time one of the leading attractions. On the occasion referred to, he was given a large gold watch, attached to a light chain. The chevalier promptly swallowed the watch, holding onto the end of the light chain until as many as desired had place their ears to his chest and heard the ticking of the watch within. Then the chevalier pulled gently on the chain to bring the watch to the surface, so to speak, when, to his horror, the chain broke. He told the audience that the watch was stuck in his stomach, and that he would have to cut his act short. He was in a delicate situation, and the audience realized it, but they were more excited than he. A physician was sent for, and with a long pair of forceps he extracted the watch from the man's stomach. Such an operation would have half- killed an ordinary man, but it did not disturb Chevalier Fritz, the sword swallower. He smiled as he passed the watch back to its owner, and said he hoped it would keep as good time as before.
