BUSINESS TIES.
UP TITLE HONORS
Capt. Ray Wise's Tossers
Overcome Westerns Lead
and Win, 81 to y.
LARGE CROWD PRESENT
Westerners Hope for Championship in
Play-Of for First Time
Since 1908.
LARGE CROWD PRESENT

The Business High School basket
ball team. led by Ray Wise. is today
in tie with the whirlwind Western
five for the championship honors of the
Scholastic League. following its vic
tory over the Red yesterday at the "Y''
before the largest crowd that has ever
gathered to witness similar affair
When Buck Wise Gagged the ball jus,
as the final whistle blew. the figures
stood 81 points to %.
The Business and Western teams
were more evenly matched than any
other two quints in the series, and
only once were separated by as many
as five points. when In the last five
minutes the Westerners appeared en-
hausted from the seasons strain and
the excitement of the fray. But the
fierceness OF the battle did not effect
the sturdy experienced basket ball
shooters from Business With the
count 10 to IL in favor of their OPP
ponents at the end of the first half. the
Stenographers went to work with a
will at the opening Of the second
period an ibid not tarry long ere the
lead was overcome.
In the last two championship con-
tests at the " tho Western team has
been deprived of no less than twelve
points. which. If allowed, would have
is ono rule in ba sket-ball that is con-
stantly being violated by schoolboy
basket-ballers and that is taking more
than two steps while in possession of
tho bail II this rule was strictly en-
forced some school teams would lose
moro points than granted and for this
reason the officials have been more
liberal in this respect. However, West
ern has been called for this violation
frequently when other teams have
been getting away with ii in the same
engagement.
The playing of the Western team yes
terday was characterized by steady pass
ing and team play: that of Business by
open work and long shots. Westerns
system of play seemed the better. and
the balance was in favor throughout the
game, except I'm the last ten minutes
when II appeared TO be worn out and
blind passing resulted
For Business Glessner and Buck Wise
were the most effective. GIessner. al
guard. was the mainstay OF the teams
defense, while Wise was particularly re-
sponsible for the aggressive work OF the
Business team. which was most notice
able in the last few minutes OF play.
For Western Peine and Giblin were
the stars. The former was the center of
offensive playing in his usual brilliant
form.
The tie will probably be played off next
Friday. II Western wins this contest 1t
will be the first time IL has reached the
top of the heap since Capt. George Pol
hemus brought the 1905 team through a

The scarlet fever scare which threat
ened to disrupt the Washington base
ball club has amounted to little more
than scare. 1t seems that a case of
scarlet fever has broken out in one OF
the student boarding houses in Chan
cellor street within a stones throw Of
Camp Griffith and that the patient has
been quarantined by the health officer
In the fever patients house lived
Arthur Baer and Alfred Stern, news
paper men. and Bruce Lytton. "a tele-
graph operator, who were constantly
mingling with the ball players. The
health officer told Manager Griffith that
the case was only mild one. and that
there was no danger of contagion. The
scribes have moved to other quarters
and no apprehension is felt.
Two Games Today.
Weather permitting. two ball games
will be staged on Lambeth Field tomor-
row. The Plebes and Regulars will
clash in the morning. while the Ma

Try This, Next Time

The next time a pretty girl
'or a we'll. dressed and agreeable
stranger comes into your place
,of business soliciting advertis-
ing for timetable, or a hotel
directory, or a church guide or
any of the other schemes"
which may have been or may be
worked on the merchants of
this town, ask the solicitor to
sit down for a moment. Then
POLITELY question him or her.
| Ask how many copies are to
be issued, how the distribution
is to be Elected, what guaran-
tee is given that the full num-
Der will be printed and distri-
buted as promised.
Then when these questions
are answered, as they will be to
your satisfaction, for the soil
citor is glib with just that kind
of answers, ask a few more
questions.
Ask what amount of money
will be collected by the solicit
tor, how much the printer will
charge for setting up the job,
how much the distribution will
cost and how long it will take
the solicitor to fill the blank
spaces.
Then do a little figuring.
You will find that the solicit
tor expects to make a clear
|profit of at least $40 day out
OF the town-perhaps more. The
figures will surprise you.
Show your figures to the So
licitor and while he is attemt-
ing to explain and hem and haw,
tell him that you will spend
your SIS or $40 in the newspa-
per, where every purchaser in
your territory will be sure to
see your advertisement.
1t will be discouraging to the
CRATER but he will be gone the
next day. so you need not wor-
ry.
Now if you could get the
same value for your SIS or $40
that you get in the newspap r
the solicitor would be entitled
to his $40 a day. But you don't
|get any value.
Advertising of that sort new
err paid anyone but the fellow
who runs the scheme. In fact,
it isn't advertising at all, but a
rank imitation.
