M'GRAW'S CASE WILL
GO BEFORE LEAGUE
President Tener States Directors of Ma
tional Circuit Will Try Case.

New York. Oct. A-''The Mcqraw case
will be handled by the board Of directors
Of the National League when It meets
here on the second Tuesday in Decem-
ber," said President John K Tener, of
: the National League, yesterday. There
will no investigation held by Mr. Tener
before that time, although the head Of
the league and President Hampstead. Of
the New York club, held a long confer
ence at the Giants ofice yesterday after
noon.
Before President Tener went down to
the Giants offices yesterday, Manager
John ]. McGraw was also a visitor, and
had a long talk with President Hemp
stead. He left, however short time be-
fore President Tener arrived. Mr.. Tener
and Mr.. Hampstead disagree slightly
about just what happened at yesterdays
conference.
Mr.. Tener stated last night that the Nc
Graw incident in Brooklyn was not dis
cussed. II paid Mr.. Hampstead a visit,
just as I have done many times before,
We discussed matters pertaining to the
last season and next season. There was
nothing significant about the talk: it was
just one of those conferences have
with all the club owners at different

women BOWLERS TO
START LEAGUE FRIDAY
New Circuit for Feminine Sex to Roll
at Arcade Alleys.
By LEN" COLLINS.

1t is only a question OF time before the
National Capital will be able to boast
Of a league Of ten clubs, or more, COM
posed entirely of members of the femi-
nine sex, as Friday night, at the Arcade
alleys, a four-club league of lady bowlers
will get under way.
Manager Vincent GULL, OF the Arcade
alleys. states that reservations have been
made by the four clubs for each Friday
night during the present season, and
when the announcement was made that
these four quints would be in the field,
Manager Cafrttz of the Grand Central
Palace, impaired the information that
for some time he had been endeavoring
to organize a league whereby each club
would have its own home alleys to bowl
upon.
With the launching Of this new league
on the Arcade drives, 1t opens a way in
which TO later on form circuit, as pro-
posed by Mr.. Cafritz. 1t Is a known
fact that the Arcade, Mount Pleasant
Grand Central Palace, National Capital
Casino, New Palace and Ingram alleys
are available for matches between teams
of the gentler sex. and 1t is probable that
practically every alley owner in the city
would be only too glad to entertain an
application from some ladies club for the
use of his alleys as their home drives.
The proposed league deserves all the
encoura cement in the world as its ad-
vent into local bowling circles would
naturally tend toward a social better
ment of the game

TRANSFORMING LAW
President of Players Fraternity on Ma
honal Commissions Trail.

New York, Oct A-Another fine young
baseball row is beaming between the Ma
tonal Commission and the Players Fra
ternity. It's all because the commission
became vexed with the world champion
Red Sox for Transforming.
The Sox-or most of them-played in
New Haven, Conn. last Sunday against
semi-pro team. The commission de-
clared Immediately afterwards that this
act fractured one of it's rules. So the
commission has refused to give the play
ers the diamond-studded buttons that
are the usual gifts OF that body to the
champion nine.
And now comes Dave L. F>ultz, presi-
dent Of the Fraternity, who wants to
know where the commission gets a IL
cense to dominate the affairs of ball play
ers after the regular season is over.
The commission takes too much for
granted" declared Fultz. TT can die
tate what a player should or should not
do during the time he is under playing
contract But the jurisdiction of that
body ends with the season"

BOWIE SPRUCING
UP FOR MEETING

Bowie. Nd. Oct. 24.-Thers will be
plenty Of horses on hand for the flf-
teen-day race meeting of the Southern
Maryland Agricultural Association at
Prince George Park, Bowie, Nd.
which will be held from November u
to 80, inclusive. Incidentally. the Bowie
meeting will bring to a close one OF
the best racing seasons this State has
ever seen. and all the horsemen who
have raced at the other meetings here
will take in the Bowie one.
Already superintendent Richard
Pending has been besieged with appli-
cations for stable room. and IT is ex-
peeted that on the opening day fully
seven hundred horses will be on the
grounds. This will mean that large
fields will go to the post in the various
events, as all the horsemen will be
anxious to get a slice of the liberal
purse which will be hung up by the
Southern Maryland people during the
meeting.
The track is now at its best and
since the spring meeting the manage
ment has made many improvements.

Coach Exendine will hustle out the
first eleven of Georgetown University
today, so as to take off the rough
edges for the game Saturday with
Albright. The frst-strins candidates
have been laid of since the Dart

for the team and the freshmen have
been practicing Monday and yesterday
"Exie" is taking the team along

to start a new rate Of the price of

exception of the George Washington

But court her as a bridegroom

Her hair is black as a raven;
Her eyes are as black as crow; I

That blooms in the morning glow.
