made SO much noise that slumber on a
ground floor was impossible. In a
most obliging manner the clerk gave
the guest an inside room on the six

windows opening on the street
Outside a throng Of merry people
noisily. happily awaited the coming of
the gladdest day in all the year; wom-

But on the sixteenth floor Of the big

was SO quiet. Once the distant blow

on a chair and stuffed bath towel
into ventilator.

just above his ears began to show q

This time the Zenith's are victor
ious by score of II to g. Such was
the result of the basket ball game
played between them and the Barron
highschool team on Christmas night
in the city of Barron.
Helen MCGEE, the Zenith's center,
did some excellent work from the
start, and succeeded in landing a
number of field throws running the
score up several points before the
highschool could get one. The other
four players did very nice work, y
especially Florence Higbee who was
always in reach of the ball and kept
out of the way of the guards.

COMMITTEE AGREES
ON TWO-TEAM RULE
Revised Playing Laws of Amateur
Baseball Association Allows Play
ers to Affiliate with Two Clubs.

II the presidents OF the different leagues
of the Amateur Baseball Association Of
the District accept the revised playing
rules which were altered at the meeting
of q committee at Clark Griffith's office
Sunday, the two-team rule is sure to be
put into effect, as this committee unanf-
mously voted to uphold the two-team
scheme.
The committee of amateur moguls also
started a little difficulty for the Amateur
Association when they altered the rule
covering the governing OF the ANA teur
game in the District, by striking out
the words, District of Columbia. BY this
NOV 'ment II is shown that the local as
sociation means to go to war with the
local outlaw circuit, the Potomac
League. 4
1t has been the argument OF the Po-
tomac outfit that as they had one team
in their association which was from the
State of Maryland the local Amateur
Association could find no ruling on which
TO outlaw" them or make rulings against
any OF their players. but by the late
action ii means that something Is sure
TO happen toward Strengthening out the
trouble with the outfit across the river.
All the rules have not been looked over,
but President Robert II. Young. OF the
association. said last night that final dis
cussion will be made at :. meeting by tie

FEDS APPROACH
WORLDS TOURIST
Prominent Players Of Giants
White Sox Party Asked
Not to Sign Contracts.
STAHL Is BEHIND MOVE
snc-i.1 CntIe tn Thc Wsshir-.on He.sla.

Special Cable to The Washington Hs==n.
London, Feb. 2S.-It has leaked out by
accident that during the Paris visit one
Of the most prominent players OF the
Giants-w White sox party has been in close
touch with the Federals not only TO be
approached himself. but also to be asked
to approach other players OF the worlds
tour.
There is every reason TO believe that
Jack Stahl is the man who did the deal
irgs for the Federals, while the man ne
asked to bscome the agent Of the Fed
erals in so far as worlds tourist talent is
concerned is a personal friend of the
former Red SoN manager. 1t seems that
Stahl made no definite terms to this play
or suggested no definite terms for the
others, but asked his friend to see the
boys and get them to refuse to sign with
organized baseball until they returned
and heard from the Federals.
Callahan I'm Argument.
The facts became known by Jimmy
Callahan, manager of the White SoN. He
is said to have had a wOrdy interview
with the player, who though an American
Lacquer. is not a member OF the Chicago
team Cdllandn gone 10 lTtldIlu DH
short visit SO that no statement can
lie gotten from him. 1t is claimed that
all the White SoX with the party have
signed. while McGraw has not only put
all the Giants under contract. but is said
TO have the promises Of all the other
National League players Of the party
not to deal with the Federals until they
get home. and see their old managers.
That the player approached by Stahl
mentioned the matter as a serious propo-
sition to some of the others is certain.
! But most of the men seem still inclined
| to put little faith in the Federals. There
| is Speaker. who said he had notified the
| Red SoX he will be ready to do business
! on his return.
Speaker does not say definitely that he
| is going to sign with the Red Sox, but
| his attitude so indicates.
! The Globe Gallivanters rumbled into
London tonight. They are CHARTERED at
! the Hotel Cecil. Long before all had reg
| istered papers were on the street bearing
| interviews from Ted Sullivan. From what
| Ted has said on the jog around the globe
no player in America gets less than s, OOO
| a year. The players are commencing to
| believe this themselves.
| Games will be played here on Thursday
and Friday, weather permitting.

LOSE AT ARDMORE
Tex Selman and Willie Reinig
Are Returned Easy
Winners.
GOOD CROWD SEES SHOW

Tex Selman and Willie Reinig proved
to be the winners in the star bouts at
Ardmore last night. Some 100 fans
braved the heavy snowfall TO witness
the boxing exhibitions.
Selman was a winner by a good margin,
Referee OConnor stopping the bout N
the fifth round to save Dunn unnecessary
punishment. Selman had the plucky
Quaker City lad all but out, flooring him
three times. Jack Dunn proved a willing
boxer. but knew little OF the fine points
Of the game. SeIman used a left tab to
telling advantage, bVt also had some
ten pounds in weight on Dunn.
Willie Rcinig, who gained fame under
the name OF Country Kid. stopped Muggsy
McGraw, OF Northeast, in three rounds.
McGraw claimed that his left arm had
been injured. and refused TO continue the
fight. He outweighed Reinig about ff-
teen pounds. Reinig displayed a good
knowledge OF the ring game, and used
a right swing to good advantage several
times during the second round. McGraw
also claimed in the second round that
Reinig had fouled him, but Referee Pete
Baum refused to allow the claim
Joe Turner. the local middle-weight
grappler. trotted out a heavyweight
boxer who he is willing to back against
any white hope" in the country. Buck
Weaver. the big boxer, stated that he is
willing to meet any man the Arcmore
Club would suggest.
No date for the next show was set.
although March l2 will more than likely
see a good show at Ardmore. Last
nights exhibitions disappointed a good
sized crowd.
