Organized base balls forces are
gathering in this city for conference
with congressional leaders over the
proposal to tax the receipts of the ma
tional pastime to help carry the burden
of war expenses. today's arrivals in
GLIDING Byron Bancroft Johnson and
Edward G. Barrow, presidents, respec-
lively, of the American and Interna-
tional leagues. Johnson and Barrow, to-
gether with Capt. Tillinghast L'Hom-
medieu Huston, part owner of the New
York club, who came to Washington
with the team Monday, all are quar-
tered at the Raleigh and set out early
this morning for the Capitol.
Although the ways and means COM
mittee of the House, which has the
revenue bill in charge, adopted a rigid
rule at the outset against any hearings.
formal or informal, by either the COM
mittee or any subcommittee, many
persons interested in various features
of the measure have discussed it's
terms individually with various mem
bers of the body, and this course no
doubt will be adopted by the repre-
sentatives of base ball.
Ban Johnson has been quoted as say
ing that the tax of 10 per cent of the
gross receipts would be SO excessive
as to compel the clubs in his league
to close their gates, and he declared
yesterday evening in New York before
leaving for this city that if the war
continued until next spring there would
be no attempt to open the 1918 pen
nant season.
On top of this comes the announce
menrfrom Chicago that Owner Comis-
key of the Chicago Americans has
turned over to Orson Smith, treasurer
of the Chicago Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, his check for s5,21911,
representing 10 per cent of the gross
receipts of his club for the first home
series of ten games The dispatch fur
ther stated that President Comiskey
has volunteered to give 10 per cent of
his receipts throughout the season,
and has let it be known he is willing
to increase the amount if necessary
Comiskey's course, ommendable and
patriotic as it is, is likely to prove
embarrassing to most of the other of
his seven partners" in the league
who are not SO fortunate as the Chi
cago owner in the matter Of their posi-
tion in the race and the consequent
smaller size of the crowds they have
been playing to. His action also may
be considered odd in view of Johnson's s
statement of the inability of the Amer
lean League clubs to do just what
Comiskey has done.
johnson says he is convinced that
the nation requires the cooperation of
every able-bodied young man at this
time, and that it is only just and patri-
otic that every citizen prepare to serve
the country in every way he can. He
said it is likely majority of the play
ers in the American League will be
called to the colors. and that none of

Maryland State has a big list of en-
tries in the open interscholastic events
of it's track and field meet. to be held
Saturday. Following the abolishment
of the special class for county high
schools, many representatives sent IN
their entries for the open competitions.
The games probably will fall somewhat
behind the meet of last year, due to
calling Off one class and the lack OF
collegiate entrants.
All the big prep and high schools of
the District of Columbia and Maryland
will take part in the open interscholas-
tic events. There have never before
been SO many entrants in these events,
and the competition should be excellent
The collegiate part of the meet has
resolved itself into a dual affair be-
tween Maryland State and Delaware
College The latter is to bring fifteen
men to College Park. St. Johns, which
had entered. yesterday withdrew it's

twenty and thirty names each. Balti-
more City College has entered nearly
thirty, and Tome School and others
vary in the size of their squads. down
to st. Alban's, which has one man
booked to run under its colers.
Adjustment of the class fPr county
high schools for the year Is in &C
cordance with the action of the board
of trustees of the college in passing
resolutions to allow all the boys in the
college needed on the farms to return
home with full credit for their work
and in working with the state board OF
educatio in letting off from their high
school duties all those needed in the
| work of producing food. To have held
! a class of events especially to attract
| boys away from the farm for even q
short period, when it was the policy OF
the college to keep them there, hardly
! would have been a proper procedure.
! Practically all the officials for the
| meet have been obtained and every
| thing possible has been done to get the
| field in it's best condition. The mee'
will have to be held on the old track

but it will be fast. It was impossible
to complete the new field in time for the
meet, because the railroads simply could
not furnish the cars to transport the
cinders necessary. Rather than con-
struct a track not up to standard in
every way, it was determined to post
pone finishing it until summer.
Dorsey pitched excellent ball yester-
day for Business in the game with Tech
nical, and came through with a vic
tory for his team by to 6. With the
exception of one inning, the second,
Dorsey was almost invincible. In that
period he was wild, and bases on balls
and a couple of hits counted four runs.
Dorsey struck out fourteen of the Man
ual Training batters, more than have
been famed by any other high school
twirler this season in a game in the
series.
Wardwell played fine ball at second
base for Technical. Handling five
chances, two of which were somewhat
difficult, he did better defensive work
than any other member of his team.
Gerardi's all-round play for Business
was feature.
The result of the game shows that
Business is the one school with a
chance against Central for the cham
pionship Tht Stenographers are play

Tech now have fallen before Paul
Whites team. and Eastern and Central
yet are to be met. In the event East
ern is defeated by Business. which Is
likely, the championship will depend
on the result of the meeting with Cen
trail.
This afternoon Central is to meet
Western in one of the two games re-
naming on it's schedule. In order to
retain its SO far clear record in the
race for the title the Mount Pleasan,
school will have to win.

Baking Company took the measure OF

Bakers not only held the Printers run
less. but prevented them getting any
thing that looked like hit. The game
was called at the end of the fifth in
ming. Taylor, who pitched for the
Printers, was but little less effective
than Hartley, as only three safeties
were garnered off his offerings. Hart
