Stenge| Seeking Coin
To Buy Control Of
Bees, Is Report
EnIists Aid Of Brooklyn
Fan to Purchase Stock,
Newspaper Hears
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb 8-This may be
only rumor 333 or it may be the real
thing at last. Anyway, the most re-
cent story is that Casey Stengel,
manager of the Boston Bees, Is dig
ging up some financial backing to
buy controlling interest in the club
from Charles F. Adams.
The New York Herald Tribune
SAYS Stengel has enlisted the sup
port of Max C. Meyer, Brooklyn
manufacturer, and is interviewing
other prospective shareholders with
the intention of buying Adams
stock, which is known to be on the
market. Stengel is believed to be
putting up s50,000 and Myer has
promised $4,000. They plan to re-
tain Bob Quinn as club president.
Last December Adams announced
he had established a price for his
interest. Albert H. Powell OF New
Haven, Conn, was negotiating for
purchase at the time, but the deal
apparently went no further than
that. The price was believed to be
s400 900.
According to the Herald Tribune,
Stengels move was prompted by re-
ports that Bill Terry. the New York
Giants manager was showing in
terest. Casey saw the possibility
that he might be ousted from his
managerial job and that some new
owner might benefit from his patient
coaching of young players.
Never, who described himself as
"a Casey fan" in explaining how a
Dodger rooter came to be interested
in a Boston club, said he had the
same idea
1T would be shame to take
Casey away from all that talent l
saw down in Bradenton last spring,
he remarked.

Roosevelt's Rough Riders, defend

teams as definitely out of the run

playoff round remain open with
Tech, Eastern, Western and Cen

The Riders clinched their spot
last night by spilling game Will

schoolboy double header at Tech

as expected over Anacostia, PAIL.
The two defeated schools, receiving
fourth setbacks, were mathemat-
ically eliminated from play-off con-
tention.
Wilson Put Up Hot Fight.
In bowling out of the race, Will
sons Tigers gave the Riders one OF
the toughest battles they have had
all season. With Ed Polhamus, fast
est schoolboy shot. in town, leading
the way, the Tigers earned an 8-6
edge in the first quarter and the
crowd at Tech was scenting an up
set. Accurate outside shooting by
Roosevelt's Hymie Perlo overcame
that handicap, however, and sent
the Riders ahead, 1918, at the half.
Don Bones Hillock, Wilson'S
angular center, kept his team in
the running and with three goals in
the third quarter paced the offenSe
which pulled the Tigers even at %
all going into the final eight min
utes. But Roosevelt's fast breaking
attack clicked perfectly to start the
last period and two Quick snow
birds by Charles Howard and Perlo
