FOR LEGAL ACTION
Yankees File Papers De-
manding an Accounting
for Funds of League.

NEW YORK, January s31.-Attor-
neys for the New York American
League Base Ball Club filed papers
in court action here today demand
ing an accounting by President B. B.
Johnson of the league, regarding the
status of certain funds alleged to be
the property of the league.
The complaint asserts that for
many years the privilege of dissent
mating base ball scores and news
has been let through the Western
Union Telegraph Company to vari-
GUS news agencies, and that the con-
tract with the Western Union was
made by Johnson in his capacity as
president of the American League.
1t is charged that all the proceeds
from this contract should have gone
into a sinking fund of the league, but
whether they have or not the complain
ants are unable to say.
1t is further alleged that at a
cago. eptember IS. last, resolu-
tion was adopted directing President
Johnson to submit all contracts and
all arrangements he had made with
the Western Union company, and at
another meeting held in this city
subsequently, when it was learned
he had refused to comply with this
request, his refusal was stamped as
a violation of his duty as president

Georgetown's basket ball team did
just what was expected of it last night
in its second game of the year with
George Washington, as far as winning
was concerned. but did not win by as
big a score as many of it's supporters
looked for.
The Blue and Gray played the better
basket ball after the first five minutes,
but the game George Washington put
up against a faster and more ex-
perienced combination was anything
but discreditable. The score was "a
to 18.
George. Washington held the lead
during the early minutes. Gilman
dropped a goal in from the foul line
and two from the floor while Fees
was scoring three from the foul line
for Georgetown. The count stood to
until Lenchalk tied up the score
with long throw from nearly the
center Of the court. Shortly after that
fees got another goal from the foul
nne, and from then on Georgetown
held the lead, and apparently was the
better team from every angle.
G. w. Plays Stubborn Game.
hTe Hatchetites put up a stubborn
struggle. Even after they must have
recognized that they We're whipped
they fought just as hard as if they
had been a point or two ahead. Time

gressiveness on the defensive. With
only one man in their lineup who
showed any ability at all to shoot.
the Buff and Blue stood little chance
to win. but made the best Of it's cp-
portunities: under the circumstances
the result was creditable to the
Hatchetites as individuals and as a
team.

In the game Friday night with the

Georgetown was good. He played
better than any other man in the

line, thereby counting nine points for

to his quint's total with three goals
from the field.
Gilman's Play Stands Out.
Gilman was not only the best man
in the George Washington lineup. but
his performance stood out as the most
meritorious in the whole game. Not
only did he score sixteen of eighteen
points credited to his team, but he
was about two-thirds of the de-
fense. He seemed all over the floor.
