The final games in the series for the
high school foot ball championship were
played yesterday. Technical being the

Lndisputed possession of the champion

Technical, while rated a favorite over
Business, had a hard time getting away
Manual Trainers did not win from the
Stenographers except by a narrow mar
gin, and that was gained in the last few
minutes of play. Business played des-
perately to defeat the heavier and more
experienced aggregation, and that II

lighter combination did itself proud
by holding Technical as well as 1t did,
and it deserves considerable credit for
it's performance.
Ochsenreiter proved the one factor IN
the Technical lineup which decided the
contest. Genes play was better than
at any previous time this year. ana ~

consistent ground-gainer in the lineup
of the Technical eleven, and to him the

GOLFING HINTS.

Many golfers refuse to recognize
the great advantage that comes
from cultivating as perfect a fol-
low-through as is within their
physical possibilities. They think
that if they hit, the ball as hard
as they can they are accomplish
ing about all that should be ex-
pected of them.
By chalking the face of his
driver and hitting ball any one
may readily see that the ball
leaves a mark much larger than
it would if it did not fiatten out
a bit and remain on the club face
for an appreciable time during
the stroke. tits during this brief
contact that the follow through

Speaking of 'bones." which is fan
vernacular for "bonehead plays" or
poor plays, did you ever notice that
the successes of the winners are
matched by the peculiar misfortunes
of the losers, and that the latter have
prominence Of their own scarcely
inferior to that Of the former? Some
players will always be remembered for
the mistakes that they made rather
than the brilliant plays they were wont
to figure in.
"The bad that men do lives after
them: the good is Oft inferred with
their bones." So let 1t be with ball
players.
The "bonchead" play has as unique
a niche in popular fancy as the bril-
liant play. Sometimes the difference
between star play and a bone is re-
markably slight. BY that I mean that
many u bone play would have been a
circus play.if 1t had gone through. and

KANSAS CITY TO STICK.
Federal League President Says His
Circuit Will Remain Intact.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, November 21.-
That Kansas City will retain its mem
bership in the Federal League in 1915
was the announcement made here last
night by James A. Gilmore, president
of the league, after conferring with
the directors of the local club.
"a number of reports have been sent
out of Chicago, Pittsburgh and Cleve-
land" he said, ito the effect that Kan
sas City would lose it's franchise, but
do not believe there will be a change
made in our organization. Cleveland
is especially eager to get Federal
League franchise, but I do not believe
it would be feasible to transfer the
Kansas City franchise there now. My
visit here has convinced me that a
large number of local business men are
willing to support the club here, and
bring major league stars to Kansas
City"
Mr.. Gilmore asserted the Federal
League had been attempting to bring
peace into the base ball world. But it
begins to look as if the war with Or
ganized base ball will continue" he
said. Since the Weeghman deal for
the Chicago National League club has
fallen through, it may be some time
before an agreement is reached"

back in 1909 Harry was at his best.
The Red Sox were one run behind. two
out and Danzig on first. Niles hit
terrific drive toward center field and
with his head down ne started to tear
around the bases. Niles was a very
fast man and Danzig was not. and
Harry, forgetting that there was a
runner ahead of him, whirled around
the bags and pulled up at third Dan
zig in the mean time had halted at
second, Niles having gone by him like
streak of lightning When the
smoke cleared away Niles was declared
out for passing runner and Boston's
chances to win had fickered.
Last year it was Ivy Wingo OF st.
Louis who starred. Ivy's bit Of brill
lance was an infringement in way
on "Jawn" Anderson's stuff. Ivy stole

In 1907 the entire Washington. and
Chicago teams were guilty Of one huge
'bone." Larry Schlaf1y. then captain
of the Washingtons. now manager of
the Buffalo Feds. had retired to the
clubhouse to change his trousers, which
he had torn in sliding to base. Before
Larry returned his side had been re-
tired and Chicago was at the bat. The
Washington team took the field and
the game went on-that is, all but
Evening star., 1914-11-21

OF course, you have all heard of the
celebrated John Anderson. one OF the
oldest and best-known members OF the
ancient order of bonehead heroes.
Jawn's fame will never die. Although
there have been many others since who
were able to duplicate the feat that
made Jawn's name one to conJure
bones with. it is doubtful if his star
will ever fade. John Anderson was
the first ball player who ever succeed
ed in stealing second with the bases
full
More recent is the performance OF
Merkle that is too well known to re-
peat: his failure to touch second base

fortunate-that was all.

Incidentally the failure to make any
contemplated changes in the Feds
cities might be construed to indicate
that it is the belief of the promoters
that in due time peace will be estab-
lished and that it is therefore not nee
essary to make any changes in the
franchises.
Nor is it likely that the Feds will
find 1t easy to corral any players from
the big leagues. The recent action OF
the Feds would indicate that the
league is open to propositions looking
to it's retirement, hence ball players
will not be hasty to join out with the
so-called outlaws.
Organized base ball, by the way,
would do we'll to declare itself on what
action it proposes to take on players
who jump. If 1t is left to the club
owners to decide the fate of these
players every one of them has played
his last game in organized base ball.
and an announcement to this effect
would be most timely now that it
looks as if the war would be continued.

Bancroft Johnson, generalissimo of the
American League, was in this city yes
terday on important base ball chats.
He arrived here Thursday night, but
kept his movements masked, and it was
not until yesterday that he could be
detected with the nude eye.
The Kitchener of the base ball world
spent the whole day at the Bellevue

pointment, and in the afternoon he

leagues, Johnson and Tener, there ap-
pears to be a thorough agreement as
to the attitude regarding the Fed
eral League. Tener has come out in
stand against the Gilmore concern,
which is in keeping with the policy of
Ban Johnson. Both consider their ri
walls beaten to pulp and now plan to
sit back and allow the Feds to run
their own race. Peace seems out of the
question, according to the league
heads. Neither seems to take the Gill
more faction seriously. Organized base
ball is familiar with the losses the
Feds suffered last year. 1t is not be-
lteved that they can go on another year
without being eliminated.
The stockholders of the Chicago Feds
had a meeting the other day. and in
stead of discussing the proposed Cub
deal heard the reports of officers, which
disclosed the fact that on an original
capitalization of $250,000 an invest
ment of $4,000 had been made. They
met this situation by an increase of
the capital stock to an even 100000
and voted the additional s150,000 to the
men who had advanced the money.
There are some significant facts in
these transactions.
