FURTHER EVIDENCE OF FRICTION
BETWEEN BIG LEAGUES FURNISHED
johnson and Hermann Announce Joint
Conference for Chicago, But Tener
hfers Plan May Hit Snag.

meeting were held in Chicago the
Thursday following. Reports from
Chicago are not always reliable.
Little evidence Of harmony on Ques-
tions vital to the welfare of the game
has been shown thus far. although all
the leaders of the sport are agreed
policies in order to tide the sport over
the shoals besetting its course now.
Instead Of cooperating the moguls are
working at cross purposes and unless
they reach an understanding and CO.
ordinate their efforts the game Is bound
to suffer immeasurably. Not only are
the rival leagues at odds in respect to
some of the major matters up for con-
sideration. but there are differences
right in President Tener's own official
family that will have to be ironed out
before any progress can be made in
perfecting plans for the retrenchment
made necessary by the war.
Ban Johnson has not given up MS
plan to have the major league sched-
ules shortened to provide for 140
games, although most of the National
Leaguers are said to be firm in the
belief that the 154-game season should
be continued.
Chairman Hermann Of the national
commission agrees with Johnson that
the player limit should be reduced to
eighteen men for each ciuo. put
mission, now comes out with the an
nouncement that he is opposed to such
a radical cut in the rosters. and will
recommend to the National League
owners when they assemble in New
York next week that the present limit
of twenty-five players be retained.
Another live topic that is expected
to result in a wide divergence Of opin-
ion is that respecting the method to
be employed in collecting the war tax
on admission fees and passes for the
ball games. In regard to the passes
1t has ben suggested, in order to
avoid confusion and congestion that
would result from an attempt to col
lect the tax on each pass as presented
at the gate. that $6.16 be collected in
advance when each Is issued at the
beginning of the season. which Is at
the rate of cents for each coupon
regarded as having a value of IS cents.
and that all the coupons not used by
IA passholder be turned over to the
Red Cross at the end of the season.
The hard-boiled egg brigade may be
expected to raise a long and lusty
howl against this arrangement. All
in all, the present off season promises
to be far from dull.

Basket ball probably will flourish in
Washington this winter to a greater
extent than in any recent year. Prep
arations now being made indicate that
the season will nnd more teams than
usual in operation and there Is to be

independent quintets are to stage con-
tests.
Organizations which will carry out
regular basket ball schedules are the
intercollegiate League. High School

aforementioned is composed Of teams
representing Gallaudet, Catholic Uni

made up of the five high school
quints, Eastern. western. Central. Tech
and Business. The Capital City League
Is due to hold a meeting tomorrow
night in the Epiphany gymnasium to
complete its roster of teams.
Georgetown has declined offers to
become a party to the Intercollegiate
League and will play through its usual
schedule. The Blue and Gray Is due to
get plenty of competition, though. as

regulars from last years quint and

through with an even better record
than was made at that time.
Catholic University probably will put
the strongest team in the league OF the
four to enter. 1t Is likely to have more
experienced men and Is fairly sure to get
better coaching. George Washington has
the outlook for Its average combination

HAND. EMBROIDERY NOW <
 TAUGHT IN TRADE SCHOOL


 The Girls Department of the State Trade Education shop has recently installed a course in hand embroid- cry work in connection with the regu- lar dressnaking trade as taught in their school at 45 Washington ave- nue. They have secured the services of Miss Martha Alden and instruc- tons will be given in the execution of embroidery work as it is applied to waists, dresses and such work as is being made for the trade by these young ladies in connection with their daily instruction For years Miss AL den has enjoyed the reputation of be- ing one of the most. expert needle workers in this locality and her many friends and patrons will no doubt be interested in her new line of work.
 A regular course of Instruction ,s being planned and those young wo- men wno receive their training with such capable woman as Miss Aldsn are surely very fortunate This change in the schedule of the girls work at the trade school enables that department to extend their accom- modations to more who might wish to enter as they no doubt will when they hear of the treat that is in store for them.
