WILL IRWIN TO
 IECTURE HERE

The Bushes and Professional Women's club will present Mfr. Will Irwin. the noted writer, lecturer and war correspondent, tomorrow even ing at SIS o'clock at the Jefferson.
 Mir. Irwin will at this time deliver his great lecture, "The Next War"
 This theme 8 uppermost in every one's mind right now, especially since the publication of Mir. Irwin s ume which pr. Frank Crane, In a recent article in the Chicago Daily News, declared to be the greatest book of the century
 He was one of the first corre- spondents to get into the war zone and it Is interesting to know that he was one of the last ones back His memorable story of Ypres was pub lished broadcast all over the world, and he was literally blaekllsted by England and France because he dared to tell the truth. He went right after Lloyd George about the matter in true Yankee style and the Premier wiped out the journalistic blockade with a stroke of his pen, and com plimented Irwin for having told the truth in his masterly story of the memorable campaign.
 Irwin was the first English speak Ing prisoner of the war. He, with Irwin Cobb and John T. McCutcheon. was captured by the Germans in the first months of the war--but that story, of course. is history now.
 This splendid lecture Is to be given for the benefit from an educational point of view, of the members of the Business and Professional Women s club, yet they will be glad for the public to avail themselves of this great opportunity.

BASEBALL TRADE
DEVELOPS HITCH
Griffith and Frazee Disagree on Deal In
volvlng a Number of Big
League Stars.
(Ry The Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Jan. "A hitch in the
proposed three cornered trade of base
ball players involving the Washington,
Boston and Philadelphia teams of the
American League, by which Roger Peck
inpaugh. former captain of the Yankees,
would become manager of the Senators,
developed today at a conference between
Clark Griffith, owner of the Capital club,
and Harry Frazee head of the Red S6x.
Griffith came to New York especially
to talk over the deal with F'razce and
returned to Washington without any
definite understanding having been
reached. The trade was said to include
sending Joe Dugan to the Red Sox, and
Joe Judge and Outfelder Bing Miller to
the Athletics. Other players also we've
reported to be involved.
Later Mr.. F'razee said that Mr.. Griffith
advised him that he could obtain DIgan
from the Philadelphia club and erade him
to Boston for Peckinpaugh. The Boston
magnate declared that he wanted addi-
tisnal players and that Mr.. Griffths re-
fusal to make the trade other than On
even terms caused the hitch.
