something that sounded precisely like

Rupert, and the deal Immediately
did a John McGraw.
Now, however, Derrill and Phil
have had words or something to that
effect and the Yankees believe Ball
can be persuaded to part with the
player for something less than the
New York franchise.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Walter John
son is again the chief topic OF con-
versation in the American league, and
it leads to the same old conclusion,
that Walter is going somewhere pref
ty soon. somewhere where they win
more ball games in season than
has been the habit in Washington.
The Yankees are angling for the
speed ball demon. They're after him
strong and they want his battery
mate. Ainsmith, to go along and make
the party a good one. Miller Hug
gins has set his sails for bright spot
end Walter is going to wear New
York uniform next year IL tears and
money have any effect on Ben. Minor
and Clark Griffith. Colonel Jacob
Rupert, who now is alone in direct
ing the Yankee exchequer has opened
wide the purse. He was after john
con once before, but the idea fell
through. Now it appears that more
persuasion will be flung into the af-
fair.

enced girls and dependent women
may not come to Washington TO fill

ty chairmen to emphasize the fact
that the cost Of living is high in

city oyercrowded, that lodging and
board are difficult to obtain, and that
therefore no dependent woman
should come to the city without Sc
curing in advance definite posi-
ton and proper housing.

that the state and county chairmen
get into communication with the
civil service examiners in their IL
calities and notify the woman's COM
mittee at the national headquarters
of any women who have passed the
civil service examinations and who
propose coming to Washington for a
position A local Washington divis-
