HART NOW
SEEKING BIG GAME

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, February o.
Another heavyweight has come out Of the
bushes hunting for large game. His name
Is Marvin Hart OF Kentucky. Before
Marvin mixed up with Tommy Burns at
Los Angeles he was some pumpkins
Burns gained decision over him after
twenty rounds of Indifferent fighting.
which event eclipsed the Kentuckian. II
was this battle that brought Burns before
the public. though his reputation was not
really made until he fought Jack O'Brien
to q standstill. San Franciscans could not
forget Harris unsatisfactory showing with
Jack johnson, so when they read about
Burns outpointing Marvin they shrugged
their shoulders and muttered: Anybody
could beat Hart" Therefore, Burns
couldn't be much.
The fight that gained for Hart prom
inence was his finish affair with Jack
Root at Reno. This was the first big fight
pulled off in the Sagebrush state after the
battle OF ten years ago. Hart beat Root
in twelve rounds. which boosted the win
and was supposed to present the winner
With the championship and ripe lemon.
Hart got the latter all right. for he was
never recognized as the big thing in
heavyweight circles. He might have had
had he subsequently beaten Burns and
then trounced one ]. O'Brien. A series Of
successes like these would have enticed
the alfalfa manufacturer from the ranch.
Now Hart must begin somewhere near the
foot Of the ladder and climb up again.
Just now his brother is trying to send
him to the front
Rufe Turner, who was matched by the
Palm Athletic Club Of Vallejo to meet
George Herberts in a twenty-round go
there on Washington's birthday, and whom
Van Buskirk claims to have secured for
a mill with Cyclone Thompson at Marys-
VILE on the same day, will box at Vallejo,
as first announced. AS soon as Manager
Charles Grennan of the Palm Club got
an intimation of the claim made by the
Marysville Club he wired Turner at Van
couver, and received the following reply:
&C. Grennan Vallejo. Heard nothing about
Thompson fight at Marysville. Your
proposition stands. (Signed) Rufe Turner"
AS the mill is to take place at 3 o'clock
on the afternoon of Washington's birth
day, many sports will be up from San
Francisco and the bay cities.

Defeated

The York (Pa) basket ball quint made
its initial bow before a Washington audi

prettiest exhibitions of goal shooting. pass
ing and general all-around team work seen
In amateur basket ball this season. The
local Y. NJ C. A. team went down in de-
feat before them by 1915.
The game was full of spectacular plays.
Not until the whistle blew at the end of the

the local team was especially the features
of the game. Ludwig played a fast and
clean game besides shooting three goals

IN BASKET BALL
Team From Charlottesville No
Match for Georgetown UNI
versity Players.
Downey Carries off Honors for
the Locals by Scoring Four
Field Goals.

The Georgetown University basket ball
team vannuished it's old rival, Virginia,
last night before one of the largest gath
erings that has ever witnessed basket ball
contest in this city at the Washington Light
Infantry Armory on 18th street near Penn
sylvania avenue northwest, by a score of %
to II.
Both teams were in good physical condi-
ton for the contest. but were away off in
their team work, except at times when>the
Blue and Gray boys got together and car
ried the ball down the hall by some fine
passing. The two teams were ably sup
ported by rooters, who kept up a ringing
cheer for their respective teams. The game
was married by the many fouls called on
both sides.
Downey carried off the honors for the
Georgetown team by scoring four field
goals. all of which were very difficult. His
carrying the ball down the field was quite
noticeable. Rice and Schumm also did
some fine work in goal throwing for the
winners. For the Virginia team. Glenn and
Hawkins were the individual stars.
Virginia Scores First..--,,,. Il,
Virginia scored the first goal when Glenn
put the ball in the basket from one side of
the hail. Georgetown shortly after evened
up the score when Downey threw a fine
goal The first half ended with the score
10 to in favor of Georgetown
In the second half the Blue and Gray
came back strong and for time ran the
Virginia boys of their feet Georgetown
were going at such a fast clip that they
were continually making fouls. The final
score was Georgetown %. Virginia IL.

Prior to the big game the Georgetown
Preparatory team played the Columbia
Stars and defeated them by score of 13
to IL. The contest was about even as to the
playing of the teams. In the first half the
Stars did the best work. but the Props came
strong in the second half and in the last
five minutes of play carried off the game
The Props engaged in some rough work
which resulted in a fstic exhibition between
two of the opposing players. Cogan and
Young played a good game for the Props.
cunningham and Gheen did good work for
the Stars.

and agreements for the purchase and
sale OF property, marriage settlements,

therefore, claim for this firm the repu-

record, or are likely to have. The
accounts are very voluminous. and
cover the transactions of five genera
tions of the house from father to son.
The firm grew rapidly in importance
during this period, during which they
attained great wealth; for they had
succeeded In securing from the king

man to run against Representative

ing, but there will be an opportun-
ity for Republicans from the diff
