night by the executive committee of the
United States National Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation. The meeting was held in the Wal
dorf-Astoria and was preceded by the usual
dinner. which was objected to as an un-

NOT WORRYING
OVER HAL CHASE

NEW YORK, March CLARK Griffith,
the manager of the Yankees, wore an
amused smile yesterday while a reporter
Informed him that rumOr had come
from Los Angeles that Hal Chase, the
great first baseman, had been all but
signed to play on the San Jose, Cal, team
this season. He then proceeded to say that
he was not at all worried and that New
Workers would again see this great player
H. action.
Its a l to 100 shot that Chase will not
play with us. | heard that same story
about his playing with the San Jose team
about five months ago. That is Halls home
city, and therefore a number of people
seem To believe that the story is true.
San Jose was trying to get Chase a long
time. They were after him last summer,
and | know that Chase has never consd-
cred any of their offers. We have offered
him Il pretty sum to play with us, and
have received his terms. The club is now
considering the matter, and l can assure
you that a satisfactory arrangement will
be- made with Chase. We have given
Chase big raise and we are not in the
least worried that he will not accept our
offer
The story from Los Angeles was based
on the assertion of Manager Berry of the
Los Angeles team, who is close friend of
Chase, and says he knows all about the
great first baseman's plans. He stated that
the San Jose team, which Is an outlaw
organization, had offered the Yankee play
~ salary of $1,000 and half interest
in the best-paying cafe in that city. Berry
said that the fact that Chase had not as
Net signed with the Yankees indicated that
he was taking the offer seriously and that
lac knows that Chase has given his word
to play there.
The confidence of the Yankees that Chase
will be on hand when training begins is
based the fact that Chase is now con-
sidered by many to be the best first base
man in the American League, and conse-
quently his future in organized base ball is
too promising for him to sacrifice.

LIGHT INFANTRY
BEAT COMMISSIONERS

A rough but interesting and exciting game
of basket ball was pulled off last night at
the Washington Light Infantry Armory be-
tween the team bearing the armory name
and the Commissioners. in which the form
er team came out victorious by the score
of Az to 3211a.
Barker, at right forward. played mas
terly game and is deserving of first honors.
He made ten field goals, some of which
were of the difficult order. Hughes, for
the losers, also played good ball, his goal
throwing being especially clever.
The Commissioners chances for winning
the pennant were abruptly put to an end
In the game last night by their defeat. and
from present indications things look good
for the Ordways.
Considerable roughness marked the con-
test. mostly in the last half, when Robey
and Draeger were put out of the game for
their unfair tactics. The Washington Light
Infantry management was unable to fur
nish substitute and both teams finished
the game with four men.

SOME GLOVE ADVICE.


The Size and Color It 10: Best to pur.
chase.
Don't buy glove that is too small, -
advised smart assistant in one Of
the big London shops. 1T not only
cramps the hand, but it prevents
grace of motion and gives poor service.
Not one-half the women who come in
here know what points to watch out
for in buying gloves. I try to instruct
my customers, but a woman must be
ripe fof the knowledge through person
al experience or the advice will not
be appreciated. Black gloves are gen.
orally less elastic than light colors.
Dressed kid gloves usually retain their
freshness longer and are more durable
than suede. Short-fingered gloves
give the hand man-formed look, and
they soon break out at the tips or be-
tween the fingers. Putting on a glove
for the first time has more to do with
the fit and wear than almost anything
else. Take time to fit them and, if
possible, wear them good half-hour
before closing the fingers. Button the
last two buttons first, for the greatest
strain naturally comes on the first"
