Minors Making a Poor Bluff.
No one will become wildly excited
over the threat Of the minor leagues
to pull away from the majors, least
their meeting in Peoria the minor
magnates issued an ultimatum to the
effect that unless the two big leagues
agree to stop drafting players from
the minors the latter will cut loose
from organized base be LII. The minors
Players could be obtained only by
the big league moguls paying the
prices demanded for them.
A rather material consideration
which the bush 1eaguers apparently
overlooked is that II they. secede
big league clubs can step in and strip
them Of all their desirable players
without paying them anything, not
even the draft price. The players will
go whore the money is and the minor
leaguers are not financially able to
offer salaries to hold them.
The minors simply are throwing a
bluff-a poorly advised one at that.
Paying big league salaries to fast
time cast.offs 10 just the thing that
has broken the backs of the minor
leagues. Even the managers who have
been fortunate to dispose Of stars at
exorhitant prices are unable to make
both ends meet. Consider the case of
that willy pilot, Jack Dunn. He prob
ably is the only manager in the In
ternational League who has sold a
player for top-notch figure in the
last five years. The Baltimore pilot
has been sinsularly successful in eet-
ting rich returns for his talent. But,
80 far as is known, Dunn is not kept
up o. nights clipping coupons from
bonds or complaining Of the burdens
of wealth. The minor league club
owner who sells a player for $4,000
or $4,000 has to- engage four or five
others at salaries ranging around
$500, and he quits loser BY having
to utilize the money to meet his inflated
pay roll.

INITIAL GAME FOR c. j.

Catholic Uhiversity's foot bali team
won yesterday for the first time this
season when it defeated the eleven
representing the Chemical Warfare
Service by z to 6. The Brooklanders
were against a capable combination,
but acquitted themselves better than
in their previous contests, one of
which was drawn and the other lost.
The teams were evenly matched-so
much so in fact that had Kichline's
toe been in better working order the
game would have resulted in a tie.
After the Chemists scored a touch
down their star back failed in an at
tempt to kick a goal, and that left the
service men a point behind the col
legians.
Catholic University scored first,
gaining q touchdown in the second
period. Stanley made it after the c.
u. backs had made some good gains
through the Chemists line. Glascott
then kicked the goal that later proved
to be the winning advantage. Angel
went over for the service outfit in the
next period and there the scoring
ended.

Reconstruction
.
Work. '

Washington probably will be the
center from which the Salvation Army
will administer it's reconstruction
program, according to Information re-
ceived from members Of that or
ganixation. A preliminary step to-
ward the realization Of this project
was taken when Staff Capt. Post OF
the property department of the Sal
walton Army was requested by Com
mander Evangeline Booth, and her
cabinet to look up suitable site for
a hospital.
It is planned to acquire a suitable
site and building and SO equip It as
to attract to it returning soldiers who
have no permanent homes Of their
own. The boys will be the guests OF
the Salvation Army until they are re-
absorbed into industry and readapt
themselves to civil life.'
Will Be Permanent.
Staff Capt. Post said he had three
properties in view, but so Tar was un-
able to determine which he would
recommend the Salvation Army to
purchase. He declared, however, that
the property would be substantial and
the hostel d permanent institution.
The hostel will be equipped with gym
nasium, swimming pool. library and
other accessories. Meals will be
served at cost and good beds will be
provided at the lowest possible prices
STAFF Capt. Post said he did not
know how much money would be In.
vested in the project, but it would
be largely in excess Of the Salvation
Army's share of the proceeds of the
united, war work drive in Washing
ton. The organisations share of this
fund, should the committee succeed
in raising 100000, will be $4,000.
No Limit to Amount Needed.
'"The Salvation Army could spend
ten million dollars on reconstruction
work in the United States and still
be in need Of funds" said Commander
Booth before leaving for New York
last night. There is no limit to the
amount that will be necessary to NEE,
tho just demands of the boys wht
have won so glorious a. victory fol
civilization"
It Is understood the hostel is not the
only building which the Salvation
Army contemplates acquiring il
Washington. Other properties will bt
purchased in the near future. Return.
ing District troops, who may b
without homes of their own, will be
especially invited to avail themselves
of the Salvation Army's hospitality.

Training Station Team Into
Camp by 13 to o.

Georgetown's foot ball team scored
tictory yesterday over the Charles
ton Naval Training Station eleven by
]" to .. The Blue and Gray had ex-
pected to win, but it did not look
for such a struggle in it's efforts to
finish in front with the long end Of
the score. The visitors showed q
powerful line, and, had they been
able to develop a little stronger at
tack. would have given the Hilltop
ers an even harder battle.
The Hilltoppers marred their work
some in the first half by q tendency
to tumble in the backfield. Buckley
caught one of Moore's punts on the
l5-yard line and returned 1t 40 yards,
only to lose it to his opponents. The
Blue and Gray made several short
gains through the line of the Naval
outfit as the first half was drawing
to a close. But when time was called
for the end of the half LIE Gendre
had kicked and Charleston returned
the ball to the center of the gridiron.
Georgetown did its scoring in the
third and fourth periods. Moore
kicked to LIE Gendre, who returned
the pigskin 80 yards. Short plunges
gained a first down for the home
folks. On q plunge through tackle
Carlin gained 8 more yards, and then
Lynch, on a criss-cross play, threw
forward pass into the arms of "a
zalli, who was back of the goal line,
which scored the first touchdown OF
the game. Goggin attempted to kick
goal, but failed.
q. u. Makes Short Gains.
In the final period Georgetown
marched down the field on short gains
through the line and forward passes,
which placed the pigskin on the 10
yard line. In two rushes Daily took
the ball on a plunge through tackle
for the final touchdown. Goggin
kicked an easy goal.
The Hilltop backfield trio proved
too much for the line Of the visitors
and finally wore them down in the last
period. Wilson. Moore and Echols.
of the visitors. were a tower of
strength. but they could not gain con-
sistently through the Georgetown
line. The Naval School attempted f1ve
forward passes. but only one was
completed. LIE Gendre intercepted one
Of these and dashed back 25 yards with
the ball. The summary:
