EASTERN HIGH IS
PICKED TO MAKE
BUSINESS HUSTLE

Eastern stands the best chance of
defeating Business in today's high
school title contest on the field In
the Central stadium that 1t has enjoy
ed In many q year..
The stenographers are weaker than
usual, and while Eastern's team
measures up to standard It is thought
as strong as that Of, Business and pos
sessed OF more grit. The Fasteners
may not win, but Coach Burnett's
charges will make Business go all
the way for the decision.
Business has made a number OF
practices since 1t last appeared in
the stadium. The Stenographers
have gotten Capt. Mike Raedy all
healed UP and quite fit for the clash
today.
Line-ups were announced today as
follows:

GEORGETOWN MAY LOSE
FEES FROM FLOOR TEAM

Freddy Fees, GeorEetown's crack
left forward, OF last years basketball
team, may be lost this season unless
the Government authorities can be
prevailed upon to allow him to finish
up his dental course and graduate
this spring.
Fees has been drafted, and after
coming to Georgetown this fall re-
ceived notice calling him to the col.
ors. When Coach O'Reilly issued a
hurry call for basketball candidates
at the Hilltop yesterday some TWEEN
ty candidates were on hand
II was learned that Fees would
have to 90 to camp at once unless
the army authorities were persuad-
ed to allow him to finish out his
course. Captain McNulty, OLone,
Fees, and Cashin were on hand from
last years five with many promising
for the initial workout.

MERGER
WILL FIND LEGAL
BATTLES PENDING

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-There are
many pitfalls In the path OF the pro-
posed merger of American Associa-
tion and international League clubs.
according to well-informed baseball
men here today.
While the new league will In all
probability receive the sanction OF
both major leagues and the National
Commission its formation will preci-
pitats q fight over territorial rights.
and It is said that many leagues will
be drawn into the affair.
Conditions IN the minors have been
gradually growing worse from year
to year, and for the past two years.
at least, the higher-up0 In baseball
have been looking ahead to ~ redie-
tricting OF all leagues which would
better conditions.
II three or four American Associa-
tion clubs withdraw from their circuit
to form Q new league with like mum.
ber OF International League clubs
there 10 nothing to stop them, but
the right to take the territory to oc-
eupy out OF their present leagues will
be disputed In the courts by the club
owners who are left behind, and In
dications point to a long and bitter
fight among the minors regardless of
whether or not the merger receives
the support Of the powers that be-"
John X, Tener. who has accepted an
invitation to remain at the head of
the National League, today expressed
the opinion that there will be no op-
position to the merger by the ma
tional commission, but indicated that
there will be many difficulties to over
come before such q league can be
formed.

Tomorrow some varsity elevens are
likely to feel the sting of defeat for
the first time.
In the East only seven representa-
tive elevens have kept their states
clean-Pittsburgh, Brown. Dart
mouth. Washington and Jefferson.
Georgetown. Army, and Williams.
Pittsburgh has vanquished Syra-
cuse, Lehigh and Pennsylvania, so
Westminster should cause no trouble
tomorrow. Brown has triumphed
over Colgate, but the heavy Syracuse
eleven may ruin the Brunonians'
record.
Dartmouth won from West Virginia,
but Penn State is primed for q real
combat tomorrow at Hanover, and the
big Green"s team may come out on
the short END.
Washington and Jefferson's one
hard game SO far was with Penn
State, victory by to o, but little
Marietta should cause MetZger's lads
no bad dreams tonight
The Army eleven had a hard time
with Villanova last week, but that
was easy compared with its troubles
tomorrow. when the clever Notre
Dame team marches out upon the
gridiron for its annual tusale with
the soldiers.
Williams conquered Cornell, and
last week won from Columbia, but
the New Yorkers' green team went
down only after a hard battle, and
tomorrow Wesleyan may prove q
stumbling block to Williams.
Georgetown is not playing tomor-
row, having its annual game with
Fordham scheduled for next Tuesday.
Therefore, the HilItoppers are sure
TO pass through this week undefeated.
Gilmour Dobie's powerful machine
has run up the highest scoring total
in the East, 212 points, but the
Aiddies were defeated by West Vir-
ginia, to o. thus running their
record.
Pittsburgh has scored 1877 points to
10 for opponents, and ranks second to
the Navy, with the Army running
third with 100 points as against 10 for
all opponents.
Washington has but one game here
tomorrow, Maryland State tackling
North Carolina A. and M. at Central
Stadium. The Aggies have for sew
eral years opposed Georgetown at the
Hilltop, but the relative class OF these

STRETCHING RATTLE SCENES

William G. Shepherd, in Everybody's.
 After the battle of Neuve- Chapelle. few correspondents, including Elser. of the Associated Press and myself. were taken by the British to see the ruins of the town which they had just captured. In our party was Matapia, an Italian sketch artist. whose work in the London Illustrated weeklies has been considered the best that has appeared during the war. It was cloudy day, and in the late afternoon rainbow appeared over the shattered village. framing it like a proscenium arch-a stage setting. Ma tania, in hot enthusiasm, began to sketch the scene, when three-inch shell whis- tied it's way to spot nearby and burst. The explosion drenched the party in mud and half covered Matania's drawing.
 With an Italian expletive the artist tore upA the drawing and began violently to sketch the she'll burst as the fresh mem ory of it appeared in his minds eye. A second and third shell fell near the party, and the British officer ordered us
 to move on tJ another part of the line.

Besides the several thousand delegates that will be in attendance there will be thousands of visitors from all parts of the country, and Birmingham will have a wonderful opportunity to do some good advertising for herself.

TIT seems that Judge H. B. Abernethy,
 in an address a few days ago, used
 these remarks:
 "l'rom the top of his bone head to the bottom of his fiat foot, there isn't chance to educate the negro. God Almighty made them to hew wood and draw water and 1 am opposed to edu- eating them. Booker Washington has done more harm in Alabama than tuberculosis.
 There is just as much difference in human nature and negro nature as there is between the smell of limbur- ger cheese and a bunch of roses. I believe in keeping him on the farm. And once the negro hears the tune of an automatic piano, he loses all taste for the mocking bird. and he'd rather smell sewer gas than new mown hay"
 Knowing Judge Abernethy as I do, I can but believe that he was more inclined he was to express his actual views. But very different impression has gone to the world at large. Judge Abernethy unfortunately deals in his court with the criminal negro and has not given due credit to the real negro who is in the vast majority
