Apprentice allowance clrimed

By "BUCK" HOWARD.

The meeting Of Tech and Business to-
day marks the final appearance OF both
elevens this year with but one game
OF the scholastic series remaining. viz:
entraI-Eastern. scheduled for Friday
Tech is looked upon as the probable
winner although the followers OF the
Business eleven realize that ii has the
best chance in its history TO defeat 4
Tech team in football.
On the form displayed by the rival
elevens so far this season. Tech should
have little trouble in winning decisively.
This is not meant to detract from the
excellent showing of the Business team
this season. but it must be admitted that
the Manual Trainers have played more
consistent and up-tO-date football than
any scholastic eleven for several years
Business will find it harder to stop
Techs attack than that Of any OF its
rivals not excepting that OF Central.
Techs baCkield is not only made up Of
capable men. but its ground-gainIns
methods OF this year are much harder
to check than has been the case OF any
scholastic eleven for many a day.
Since its defeat at the hands Of Central
the StenoGraphers have scored a de-
cisive victory over Eastern. and in doing
so showed probably the best combination
since the advent Of football at that in
stitution.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Nov. 16-Nobody in this
section seemed excited this afternoon
over the report that Ban Johnson, presI-
dent OF the American League has aimed
himself at this community. the purpose
of his visit being a mystery" Some
reports had 1t that Ban was coming
here in an attempt to force Frank Far
rel! out of his job as president of the
Yankees. If that's Bans purpose 1t
seems that his visit will be fruitless, as
Farrell. just a short time ago, an
nounced that he was in baseball to stay
and that IN stick with the Yankees
just as long as 1 like and no one will
force ME out
coming here in an effort to put through
a deal whereby Bill Devery would let
go his hold on the Jersey City franchise
in the international League. so that the
Ward family. which owns the Brooklyn
Federals, could buy the franchise.
Such a report. emanE ing from organ
lied baseball querte~., Is pure bunk
The Wards do not want the Jersey City
franchise and the chances are that II
it were offered to them at half the price
that Devery would take. they would not
buy it.
The Wards have grown a bit tired Of
having somebody sell them a club
every other day. To date the Wards
have been reported as on the verge OF
buying these clubs: The Yankees, the
Dodgers, the Phillies, the Cubs, the
Newark and Jersey City teams and the
Boston Braves.
