EASILY DEFEATED TODD.
Sherman Wins in the Handicap Pool
Tournament

In the first game he has played in the
southern handicap pool tournament, now
in progress at the National Hotel parlors,
Frank Sherman, champion of the District
and ex-champiOn of the United States, had
little difficulty last night in maintaining his
prestige. He defeated Joseph Todd of Bal
timore by the score of 1855. Sherman is
the only man playing from scratch, and by
the terms Of the tournament he is required
to make 125 points to 100 for each Of his
opponents.
Todd had gone down to defeat earlier in
the week at the hands of Fred Stewart, and
the few bettors who were willing to back
his chances last night demanded good Odds
The first appearance of Sherman in the
tournament drew an unusually large gal
lery of spectators, and even standing room
within seeing distance of the table was at
premium when the balls were racked for
the first frame. Todd made an excellent
getaway and his stock took a decided rise
when he succeeded in counting twenty-three
buttons to Shermans seven in the first two
frames. Sherman came back with a rush.
and mastery handling Of the cue ball he
caught and passed the Baltimorean, and
the score at the end of the fifth frame was
Sherman, 46; Todd, 20.
Interest was reused to highest pitch when.
in the sixth, seventh and eighth frames.
Todd gathered respectively nine, thirteen
and eleven balls and took the lead, $685.
To pull out Of the hole Sherman was re-
quired to make almost two balls to each
one for his opponent, but the fortunes of
the game were with him, because the ninth
frame was a nightmare for Todd Twice
in this frame Sherman miscalled either
the object ball or the pocket. but the ap-
parent losses proved to be real gains, for
Todd made four scratches almost in sue
cession, and with the hard Sck his nerve
went a-glimmering. After that the result
was never in doubt. Sherman taking the
majority of balls In each Of the remaining
frames, save one.
The score by innings follows:
Todd-11, Il. 1. 0. s, o. 10. IL, 8, 4. 8. g. 6, g. l.

YORK, Pa, March 2.-The Washington
and York Y. NJ. c. A. teams played another
Tri-City League basket ball contest in this
city tonight the latter winning by 30 to IA
The visitors lost the game through lack
Of consistent team work. Baughmans play
ing was the best seen here this season
Kaufman and Ludwigs work was also of
the sensational order at times. The York
team played a steady game throughout. 1t
was only toward the close of the game that
the Washington boys, through the clever
ness of their right forward, made sprints
which gave them points. Prior to this
time their scoring was on goals from fouls
only. The whistle was blown when Baugh-
man got free from the members of the
half ended with the score II to in favor
of the locals. In the second half two sub
stitutes placed in the game caused Wash
ington to play a more listless game than
early in the contest All of the visitors
field goals were made In consecutive order
by Ludwig.
1t was evident that the gymnasium was
too small for the contest. 1t hampered
both teams, but the visitors suffered the
greatest. handicap. twenty-five fouls were
called, but York only secured one point
on the twelve efforts made by Susong and
Baughman. The absence of Center Haight
of Washington was apparent in the teams
playing.
The defeat for the Capitol City team
places it out of the running for the league
cup. Following is the summary:

DRAW BETWEEN
CHESS EXPERTS
Ninth Game of the Series Be-
tween laSker and
Marshall.

1t is not often that two stars Of the
very first magnitude appear at one time
in the Washington chess armament. That
this fact was duly appreciated was shown
by the large gathering Of local enthu-
siasts who assembled at the Arlington
Hotel yesterday afternoon and evening to
see Messrs. Lasker and Marshall battle
for the chess supremacy Of the world
This was the ninth game of the present
series between the two masters, the
score at the beginning of play standing
Lasker and Marshall 0, four games
having been drawn. 1t ended in a draw.
The Afternoon Session.
Owing to unavoidable delay in the ar
rangements. it was nearly o'clock when
the afternoon session began, Mr. Mar
shall, the American champion, having the
white men, while Dr. Lasker conducted
the defense by declining a queens gambit
The players were introduced by Mr.
Shannon, ex-representative from Colorado
who remarked that all present were un-
doubleday true lovers of the royal
the best man win, irrespective Of nation
ality. He announced that DR.. Lasker
would be seconded by Mr.. F. c. Laven-
der. secretary Of the Washington Chess
club would act in like capacity. for Mr..
Marshall. Mr.. H. Wiley of the Metropol-
itan Club was chosen as referee.
The distinguished contestants were seated
at a table on a raised platform at one end
Of the banquet hall, their seconds having
tables close by, where the moves We're
checked off as soon as made. The game
was played on a rather small board, the
men employed being not so large as those
frequently used In such formal contests
At various points throughout the hall SUBJ
sidiary boards were in use, where the moves
were duplicated as soon as made at 1.-THE
front" At each of these points of vantage
an interested crowd of spectators soon
gathered. The greater number, however
obtained seats or standing room near the
contest proper, where the moves could be
gathered right Off the bat,' as one of the
local enthusiasts expressed It,
A Notable Exhibition.
The game itself was a notable exhibition
Of the royal -pastime, and showed the two
masters at their best. Lasker played a
strong, aggressive game, pushing every ad-
vantage to its utmost. and relying upon his
wonderful analysis of complex situation to
obtain for him a commanding position. But
strive as he would he seemed unable to
secure a lasting advantage over the young
American champion, who met strategy by
strategy, and vigorous attack by sound and
baffiing defense.
At the afternoon sitting but twenty-eight
complete moves were played, Mr.. Marshall
sealing his twenty-ninth move for the night
session.
When play was resumed at pm. It was
soon evident that the spectators were to
be treated to one Of those beautiful end
games in which all true lovers of the sport
delight, and the result more than fulfilled
expectations. At last, after Marshalfs

to the end of the first half neither side
tailed and the score was Georgetown, 8;
George Washington, 4.
To most of those present the fac. that
the team from across the creek Outplayed
the boys from 18th street was obvious, but it
was noticeable that Georgetown was weak
in covering point which the George Wash
ington boys were not slow to see and take
advantage of.
After a dressing down by the coaches
teams appeared for the final half, and the
George Washington outfit started things
with rush, cutting down their opponents
lead and playing them to standStill for
a while. Fred Rice was being we'll played
by his opponent Of the same name, but
managed to break away and counted for
two points. Then Whiting followed with
a sensational toss over his head and for
few minutes it looked like the blue and
gray was up in the air. Captain Downeys
men then settled down, and the ball kept
changing hands, until. with but two min
utes more to play, Will Rice hurt his ankle
and time was called.
Both Teams Play Well.
Both teams fought every inch of ground
amid the tremendous racket and it was
either teams victory until, with forty-f1ve
seconds to play, the Hatchetites started a
rush up the field. tossing the ball every
where but squarely in the basket. Whiting
finally tailed just as the whistle blew and
ended the contest, and the Georgetown
rooters swarmed on the floor and bore
the victorious team to the dressing rooms.
George Washington had slightly the bet

a few more minutes to play might have
changed the score.

GEORGETOWN WINS
AN EXCITING GAME
Close and Fierce Contest for
Local College Basket Ball
Championship.

In the second of series of three games
for the local college basket ball champion
ship Georgetown defeated the George Wash
ington University quint at Washington
Light Infantry Armory last night, 10 to 13.
Both fves played gruelling game, but
saved themselves for the last half, when
they went at 1t in earnest and furnished the
best exhibition seen in local basket ball
circles for some time, the tap of the bell
saving the Georgetowners from last great
rally by the Hatchetites to carry off the
game.
Both institutions were well represented
by their students, and the cheers and songs
of the rival institutions echoed throughout
Chase's Theater, and the management sew
eral times registered a strenuous protest
against the din. The fair sex were out in
numbers also and were prominent along the
side lines. The Georgetown students out
numbered their rivals two to one and broke
nm what little encouragement the George
washington contingent endeavored to give
their team with the 'Dirge' ana their
Locomotive" yell.
No better proof than the large crowo OF
last night is needed to show how popular
ha sket ball has become in Washington, ana
what a grip it has on local lovers Of indoor
sports Fully five hundred people were IN
attendance, and they were more imam re-
paid for their presence, as q oel.ef, Hai uei
fought and interesting game has never been
pulled off in this city.
The credit for Georgetown's victory must
be given to Instructor Joyce Of Carroll In
stitute, who has had the Georgetown lads
in hand since the first part of the season,
and who has been giving them special IN
struction since their defeat last Thursday
1t Is impossible to say Just when the de-
Gliding game of the series will be played,
but It Is sure that there will be large
crowd present to see the contest pulled off,
Besides the work Of Will and Fred Rice
who played against each other, and the
work of Schumm and Whiting, the all
around fast work of the winners deserves
mention Downey at center put up his usual
snappy game, but was not as consistent as
usual, probably due to the fact that he is
captain of the team and was laborng I'M
der great strain.

After consuming an hour and five min

should be a side line, George Washington
gave in to the visiting team and Referee
Jack Gass put the ball In play. Almost be-

had scored. From that time on both teams
fought hard, George Washington gaining

Georgetown held his man and Rue of
