JANITORS ARE EAGER
TO ATTEND CLASSES
One Hundred and Thirty-Four Have
Enrolled for Night
Schools.

One hundred and thirty-four janitors
and engineers in the service of the
public schools Of the District have sig
nified their intention of attending the
janitor classes which are to be opened
tomorrow evening in connection with
the night school work. Glasses for
janitors are to be held tomorrow night
at the Business High and the Arm
strong Manual Training schools.
It is probable more than two classes
will have to be held, because of the
large number who have enrolled for
the course Also. other buildings prob
ably will be used during the year in
order to acquaint the janitor- students
with various kinds of heating plants.
Supt Ernest l. Thurston of the pub
lie schools, explained to the janitors,
at a meeting Tuesday night, at the
Mckinley Manual Training School. that
a system was to be put into effect
whereby janitors would have to meet
certain conditions before they could
be promoted, and that applicants for
positions as janitors would have to
to see men already in the employ Of
the schools promoted. he said, but in q
number of instances men have had to be
obtained from outside of the school
system for positions in the higher
places because no qualified men could
be found among those already en-
ployed
He pointed out to his auditors the
desirability of them obtaining en-
gineers' licenses by means of which
they might better themselves not only
in the school system. but in outside OPP
portunities Hugh F. McQueeney,
superintendent Of janitors. also spoke,
urging the men to join the classes.
OF the men who have entered their
names, fifty-one are white and eighty
three colored. More colored janftors
are employed than white. ~

BALD EAGLE SORE
He Denies Fighting Kane's Bat
ties in League.
Asked Zehrung to Give up
League Presidency.

Frank Isbel, the Bald Eagle of the
Western league and the brains OF the
Des Moines club, believes that his
reputation as an angel is being in
jured by sport writers in certain cities
of the league who have devoted space
to his controversy with Ed Hanlon, of
Sioux City. over President Zehrung,
and in a long article in Sporting News
a Des Moines scribe asserts that Isben
is sore all over and that he denies
most of the things that have been
said about him. 1t is too bad that
such a famous Bald Eagle should be
sore at this season of the year when
all the world tries to be happy. 1t is
too bad that his angelic reputation has
been injured. And it is shame that
so many people believe Mr.. Isbel
could do such naughty things as he
has been charged with.
The Des Moines and near-Wichita
magnate admits. however, that he did
not ask President Zehrung to resign at
the New Orleans meeting, he admits
he is not satisfied with the way the
Wichita nuddle was handled and as
serts that the league prexy does not
know baseball. He denies emphat-
icaliy that he ever sided with Jim
Kane in his controversy with Hanlon
and says he never wrote to the ma
tional commission any letter that was
calculated to stir up trouble.
However. where there is so much
smoke there must be some fire. and
where so much is admitted there un-
doubtedly is grounds for believing the
rest might be true. Isbell is a popu-
lar and brainy baseball man and one
of the most valuable assets of the
league But the trouble with him,
many believe, is that he is too CLOSELY
hitched up with Tip O'Neill, and it is
sincerely hoped that if he succeeds in
landing in Wichita he will be inde-
pendent of O'Neill and Will follow his
own judgment which is generally
sound.
1t is very apparent that Isbell can't
hope to succeed in his effort to oust

PLAN LOOKS GOOD
MagnateS Expect Inter-League
Series to Revive Interest.
Big Minors Have Needed Some
thing Like This for Years.
By JACK VEIOCK.

JAIN EalO(h-
New York, Dec. 25.-The need of a
as she is played in the American AS
sociation and the international
League, has been the cry of the club
owners in both circuits since the first
year of the Federal League war.
Losses sustained by the clubs in
both leagues should they be totaIled,
would reach several hundred thou
sands of dollars, and altho last season
showed better attendance than the one
previous. a new method for boosting
interest among the fans seemed i'm
perative-
The plan to play a schedule of 112
games in each league and follow it
with an inter-league series of forty
eight games. half of which are to be
played in each circuit, with all six
teen clubs competing, grew out o. the
need for stimulant
Expect Revival of Interest.
Magnates of both leagues are conf
dent that the scheme adopted here
December l ? will work out successfuI-
ly. for they have more than 100000
actual population in cities of both
leagues to draw from, not to mention
attendance they should draw from
nearby towns and villages during the
progress of the inter-league games
Few fans in the International
league. in comparison to the 2.S9225S
population of that league as compiled
from the most recent census records,
have ever seen the American associa-
tion clubs in action. The same applies
10 the fans in American association
cities with regard to International
league clubs. The populati ton of the
association, taken from recent official
records, shows a total of 2.160, ,417,
somewhat smaller than that of the In
ternational league. But the cities in
both leagues have been growing rap
IDLY. and the combined popula tion
taken from the figures given above is
o.O52.645. not counting the growth of
the cities included.
Keep Players on Toes.
IL seems that with such an attrac-
tiOu as the showing of eight foreign
teams in either league the baseball
fans will turn out in greater numbers
As the club owners point out, interest
in the two races will not lag as it has
done heretofore. and the $4,000 purse
which Will be put up to be divided
among the players of the winning
league will keep the athletes on their
toes thruout the playing season.
In past years clubs hopelessly out of
the pennant races at the end of Au-
gust have played Indifferent ball
There has been nothing to enthuse
the players, and without a fighting
chance for honors, any ball club is
bound to lose interest.
on the face of the plan it appears
certain that it will succeed. The
worst that the club owners can expect
IS perhaps little better than an even
break, and if they do not feel like
continuing the scheme after 1917
nothing stands in their way to revert
back to the old system of playing out
their Individual pennant races

Zehrung and re-elect O'Neill, and he
can't get anywhere by fighting with
other club owners So the best thing
for his angelic reputation and for the
good of the league, other beseball
men believe, is for him to rub his sore
spots with a little harmony salve and
get back in line as quickly and as
solidly as possible.
