STEVENS SCHOOL WINS

Warren of Slater. who covered the floor
in excellent STYLE but was off form in
caging the sphere.
Previous to this contest Banneker
School team and Lincoln School team
fought out a struggle to eliminate cellar
championship, with Banneker coming
ahead on the long end of a 14-to-13
count Unlike its companion game. the
work was crude. although Shem, Jones
and Yergan OF Banneker and foyer of
Lincoln played good ball at times.
Contest a Hummer.
Yesterdays game proved hummer.
Bruce against Stevens in the lightweight
division was an entirely different Bruce
from the quint that lined up against
Birney and Jones in previous games of
the schedule. Inspired by the presence
Of Principal Lucas and teachers and pu-
pills of the school, the boys worked hard
to overcome that Parker Brother combi-
nation from the tenth division. The game,
however, was Stevens by four points at
the bell. Roberts Of Bruce, and Spencer
and Cornelius Parker of Stevens were
the bright particular stars of the oc-
casion.
Jones School lightweight team played
an interesting game with Birney boys
Jones did all of the scoring for his
team and Hopkins of Birney was the star
Of his aggregation The work of Birney
was a big improvement on its rather
mediocre playing of previous games.
The season just closed was the short
est, best played, and best managed Sc
ries yet conducted in the league. Chair

To Thaddeus Stevens School of the
tenth division Of the public schools OF
washington belongs the championships
in the heavy and light weight basket ball
series in the Public Schools Athletic
League. Monday afternoon the light
weight team from Stevens defeated the
lightweight quint, champions of the elev-
enth division. for city honors by the
score Of Is to II. and Tuesday afternoon
the big boys from Stevens took the Slater
quint into camp by the score Of 20 to IL.
The game Of Tuesday was rated by many
the best game seen on local floors this
year, regardless of class of teams COM
seting. The issue was always in doubt
Slater led by point at the ending of the
first half, and not until Carol and Simms
had rung meters from almost beyond
reason distances with but one minute to
play was the game won. The din of the
cheering supporters was loud. and often
confusing to players and officials. and
the darken!ng day handicapped the play
ers Of both teams, but the conditions were
even and the skill of both sides shown to
advantage

Didn't Want Ford.

Il called up Owner Farrell about it
last week." he explained. but was told
Chance didn't want Ford. So 1 didn't
interfere"
Johnson said Ford drew $1,000 a sea-
son for two years when he was prac-
tically useless to his club. He added
Chance intended to trade him before
the winter was over. Johnson declined
to say how he learned of Willetts de-
sertion, whose action was a complete
surprise to him and Owner Navin.
Here's how it happened, according to
Johnson: Willett recently wrote the De-
troit owner he was going to Gulfport,
Miss, the Tigers training camp, within
a short time to get into shape quickly.
Navin told him to go ahead. When Will
lett reached St Louis on his way south
he was sought by Mordecai Brown, the
Federals' Mound City manager, and
Brown made him big offer. Ed signed
Federal contract then and there.

ABOUT THE BATTING
 ORDER FOR TODAY

Using both their star hurlcrs, Phoenix and Tempe will meet at Grant park today in test game to determine whether or not the iam basting that the Bears gave to Phoe nix and Mesa last Sunday was a fluke CT the result of good team work Oyiedo, the heady heaver ol the southsiders. will get d chance to pit his curves and noodle against the experience of Barrett, who has been resting in the Phoenix infield for the last few games
 In order to throw Barrett on the mound, Manager Baum has had to engage Kern" Warren for second base. where the pitcher has been immured since his last full game against Mesa.
 The addition of Griffen to the Tempe lineup fills the gaping hole that mas bothered at first base. It will also give Lukin d chance to re- arrange his hoquet of players. A little more pep in the infield and the Bears are likely to show Phoenix that it was no mere accident last SuDday.
