Charlottesville, Va, February g.
Virginia's basketball team defeated
Trinity, of North Carolina, in the Fay

in the South Atlantic division The
showing made by the Virginians was
rather q disappointment to the crowd
present. as il was expected that the
team would show marked Improvement
on the eve OF the championship contest
with Washington and Lee in Lynch
burg Saturday night
The local players were decldenIy OH

recent contests. and lost many oppor-
tunities TO score on easy chances The
half ended with the score standing IL

in the twenty minutes of play, and
these were made by Virginia.
The North Carolinians took decided
brace at the opening of the second
period, White caging the ball twice in
succession. This served 20 put the
locals on their .nettle. and from then
on Virginia began to show real class
Stickley brought forth much applause
by an accurate throw from the side

timely goals after some clever pass

again struck his stride. and before
the half had ended had brought his
total of goals up to six. In this period
both teams played in rapid attack.

points by Rixey.
Churchman and Campbell put UP a
great defensive game for Virginia.

for the North CarOlinians. The former

BOB BESCHER IS
NAT|ONAL'S BEST
Leads Parent Organization on
Paths-Has Chance to
Get New Record.

Cincinnati. February Bob Bes-
cher, of the Cincinnati team. has
chance to shatter a National League
record the coming season by doing
what he did last year-namely, set
ting the pace among the base burg
lars.
IN the past, in the parent organiza-
ton, players have won the base-steal-
ing honors In Ave campaigns, but not
in Ave consecutive campaigns. Bes-
cher, If he ranks No / among the
hassock hlchers in 1913. will be en-
titled 10 all the more credit for shat
tering National League record by
leading the base-stealinG brigade for
five years in succe ssiOn, since he only
has been In the National League a
trifle over four seasons. joining the
Reds in the fag end Of the 1908 cam
paign. Right away he demonstrated
that he would bother the catchers.
stealing ten bases in the thirty-two
games in which he participated.
In 1908 Bescher, previously denied
trial with Detroit Che would have been
an ideal running mate for 1yrus Ray
mond Cobb. led the National Leaguers
in base-steaIing. with hfty-fous lar
cenies, and the habit he acquired In
1909 he has since maintained, for his
rank was No. in psi0 .l9Il and 1912.
Bescher was one of the few Cincin-
natl PLAYERS who received votes from
the Chalmers jury Of experts as being
the National Leagues most valuable
player. is regarded by many as one
of the sanest base-runners in the pro-
fession and has the reputation OF
never trying TO boost his record by
making unnecessary steals. That the
Rhinelander knows when to set out TO
beat his way to either second or third
IS evidenced by the fact that only ten
times last year he failed to attain
the goal for which he set forth.
AS he has sixty-seven successful
steals, his ba se-runni1g average. cal
culated in the new way, would be
s7O-hgures much better than those
made by Clyde Milan, the American
Leagues champion base-runner.
Bescher's first successful attempt 70
steal was in the game played on May
4 Ivy Winso, of the Cardinals, turn
ing him back from second. Wingo did
the sam ething TO Bescher later in
the season and was the only backstop
who twice halted him.
The other backstops who nailed the
Cincinnati speeder were Roger Bres-
nahan. Tom Needham. Jimmy Archer,
VIII Killifer, Peaches Graham. otto
Miller. Chief Meyers and Mike Simn-
Probably the worst day Bescher had
on the bases was september y. In the
first inning of a game with Brooklyn.
Bescher was caught off second by
pitcher Don Carlos Patrick RegaD and
later in the same contest the speeder
was nailed in an attempt 70 steal 10
