FOSTER. NEW YORK, November 21.—The Timitation of armament oconference ‘will be moved over to New York from ‘Washington next Saturday. Or, rath- er, all the delegates to the affair will move themselves over to attend the Army-Navy foot ball game at the Polo ong:a; President Harding is coming, , according to current re- ports, snd this is the first time since the war that this great annual serv- i0e event has been honored by the Presonce of the commander-in-chief of the nation's military and naval foroces. iu demand without precedent has arisen for tickets to the game. Not many of the tickets have gone to ‘waste in the t, but there always has been a e to procure box seats until the day of the contest. This year the boxes have been sold except three or four and frantic de- mands have been received from the west and south for tickets. The quota for Washington has been filled. but there are scores in the Natlonal Capital who are suddenly desirous to see the game who will be unable to et anything. “The rfx‘xh that has been placed upon those who are distributing the tick- ets is believed to be due to the fact that most of the distinguished rep- resentatives of foreign countries, who are sttending the Washington con- ference are cxpected to attend and likewise President Harding. The admission tickets to the sta: ds are exhausted. athletio :I::dl.::\ons an o New :?l:g"hlch retains a share of the allotment, has dl-xoud of its quota, while its office is floodéed with letters and telegrams from congressmen and Fovernment officials beseeching any- thing even to standing room, but there 0 standing room. Pratt’s Mark Not Best. Another reputed base ball record has fallen into disrepute. Investiga- tion has killed at least 100 claims of players, or claims made for play- ers within the last ten years. When an effort was made to get the evi- dence for the claims it not infre- quently happened that there was not any evidence. Derrill Pratt of the Yankees ran all out of breath one afternoon to tell some of his friends in the press Box that he had equaled an Ameri- can League record for inflelding which was held by Lajole. Pratt was Just as happy as he could be. It was as good to him as a Christmas Dresent. Pratt had not equaled Lajole’s record, but he had made one himself. Pratt had accepted sixteen chances on the infleld at secend. He believed that Lajole In times past also had accepted sixteen chances at d. but joie had done nothi kind. Nor had any other second- baseman in the American League. ‘What Lajoie did do was to accept sixteen chances Bt shortstop, but that didn’t give him the shortstop’s re: < erd, juse Bobby Wallace on . hooked up with seventeen. Pratt mot up to Dunlop in the Natlional ague for a record of elghteen chances and Bobby Wallace is not s0 good as Richardson of Washing- ton, who accepted nineteen chances when he was playing with the Na- tional League. All around, the Na- tional League has it on its younger rival, both second e and at shortstop. ontreal Again om Map.
