In panning those who have charge OF
our main baseball franchises 1t isn't
always Just to include the entire allot-
ment. IT is unfair to direct the same
fusillade at such people as Comiskey.
Hampstead. Navin, GafrneJ, Dreyfuss,
and others who have always acted as
much in the interest OF sport as in
the pursuit of kale. Baseball has its
share Of regular sportsmen who are
strictly on the level and who certainly
place money no higher than sport. The
other type is in the minority, but this
doesn't mean that the other type should
not be QueIled.
Beyond Argument.
Whether IL be due to Haughton or to
his material. both Yale and Princeton
are willing TO admit that the results
obtained at Harvard were eminentIy
sufficient The final scores were sur
ficient answers to the effect that there
was efficiency somewhere in the vicinit ;
at least.
What For?

We've lost enough football arguments
this season without starting another
that can have no proof For, to start
n football argument is to lose II. No
man alive or dead ever won a football

ward and Illinois mopped UP with eclat.
Why not let IT go at that?

Shortly after the kale changed hands
Mr.. Tinker Jumped blithely over to the

back. but Mr.. Hermann can't quite
grasp the technique of any such argu-
ment
Ebbets says he paid $4,000 for nothing

Which sounds reasonable enough. Herr

Which is also quite true. The league
Is TO vote on the argument.
Should the $4,000 be split 50-51-or
should Mr.. Hermann be forced to insist
upon Mr.. Tinker reporting to Brooklyn?
Or what?
Or perhaps. il might be better to
send the $4,000 TO European sufferers
and split Mr.. Tinker 500.

Stenographers Are Suffering
From Too Much Classy Ma
terial for Its Outfit.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Capt. Ray Wise, of the Business
basketball team, is leading his bunch
against the Gonzaga College five
today in the first engagement for
both teams, and expects to come
through with a win. Business is

Business is suffering from too
much material, according to infor-
nation from the Rhode Island

thing like forty candidates are max

jobs. While no definite lineup has
been given out, it is expected that
Ray Wise and Bill Culligan will be
found at the forwards, Joe Wise at
center, while Carl Glessner and
"Buck" Wise will be found in the
guards positions.
Lowry n. Coe has arranged a heavy
schedule for the stenographers, which
will probably include another battle
with the Navy Plebes. This team
trounced Business last season and a
return game is asked for this year.
Business is finding the loss of Boer-
stein and Harris one that Is causing
a deal of figuring. There is no ques-
ton but that these youngsters were
about as good as have ever been turn

clinked, a drop of champagne fell up
on the queens gown. She opened her
