Cannon of ‘Wisconsin that it is an absolute monopoly conducted in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act and should be investigated by the De- partment of Justice. Up to press time today, not a word of comment was forthcoming from Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of base ball; Will Harridge, American League president, or Ford Frick, head of the National League. Cannon, in an open letter to Attorney General Homer Cum- mings, said players are given unfair contracts which they must accept or be forever barred from playing. He contended that this creates an absolute monoply in restraint of trade. Silence of base ball leaders may be influenced by a 1922 Supreme Court, decision, in which organized base ball was declared & sport and not a trade.

The effective hurling of 16-year- old Kilmer Bortz stamped Woodrow Wilson High as a definite threat in the impending scholastic base ball series as it tucked away its first victory of the season, 8-4, over St. Albans yesterday. Striking out 18 men while limiting St. Albans to four hits, Bortz effec- tively throttled the prep school nine, although seven walks found him in trouble several times. St. Albans en- joyed a brief 250 lead in the first in- ning, but Woodrow Wilson, aided by poor fielding, retaliated with a six- run rally. Wilson. AB.

LL time is quite a spell when you start from the beginning and move up to date in such a competition as heavyweight fighting. In a recent talkfest I asked Judge Jeremiah T. Mahoney, A. A.

EEKING more commodious quar- ters for its 105 members, the Wash- ington Social Chess Divan will change its location from 1625 Connecticut avenue northwest within the next 10 days.

Interested chess fans who know of a suitable location should eommuni- cate the news to the chess editor of The Star. A very reasonable rental is desired with space for either a game room and lecture room combined or for separate facilities within the same building, which may be com- mercial or on the apartment plan. The instructional chess lec- tures, featured each Wednesday at the divan, will be held at & temporary place to be an- nounced shortly. Treasurer Norval Wigginton of the Social Chess Divan will receive April | fees of $1 per member now. Merely post your chgck to him at 200 Rhode Island e northeast.
