New York. Dec. 22.-The Georgetown
University basketball team proved easy
for the fast playing of the New York
University quintet in their annual game
bBnight on the university heights court,
and the home collegians won by the one
sided score OF IS to Is
The local team displayed excellent form
and excelled their opponents In passing
and shooting. This is the fifth game that
the New York University team has won
and the second time they have defeated
Georgetown.
With the exception OF a few minutes in
the opening half the local contingent al
ways maintained a safe lead over their
opponents. The Georgetown players
gained the lead at the start OF the game
as the representatives OF New York Uni
versity showed up poorly during the first
ten minutes OF play. After this. however.
they played a fast game and executed
many difficult passes, and at the end Of
the first twenty minutes the home team
was in the lead by the score OF II to g.

February 3.
LATEST CUE COMMENT
Handles Expert Critieises His u
lustrious Namesake-Morin
After De 0ro's Tide.

New York, Dec. 22-George Sutton Is
manifesting confidence in his ability to
take the 1S-2 baIklIne billiard champion
ship from William +. Hoppe when they
compete in the match scheduled fJr Feb
ruary at the Hotel Astor. He Is
backing himself, and advises Maurice
Daly to do likewise. In a letter to DAILY
he says he has never played better than
he has in the last six weeks. Advices
from Chicago confirm that statement.
One report credits him with having
made a run of 459, which Is enormously
asserted to be the largest score ever
made in a practice at 1872. Practicing in
an academy in Paris, Hoppe ran 81.
During a visit to Paris, B. F. Ben
singer, president of the Brunswick
Balke-C ColIender Company, witnessed a
run that exceeded 500. made by Firmin
Cassignol. Cure also has run more than
600. Last spring at George F. Slos-
sons room, while preparing for his
match with Hoppe, Koti Yamada ran
over 400 and quit without having missed.
In the match ne was beaten 500 to g.

an opponent. but applies himself to what

would be likely to do in any inning when
playing well. He said he wanted all the
exercise he could get at the table. My
answer was-yUu will do better II you
adapt yourself to match conditions"
Early in January, Hoppe will start
Westward on an exhibition tour in which
he will be assisted by Young Jake
Schaefer. According to present arrange
ments, he will not go farther than st.
Louis and will return about January 25.
Four days later. he and Kohl Yamada
will exhibit at Providence in a 50o-point
game at 1S.2- He has been occasionally
indulging in practice at the AL game
which will be the medium OF a new cham
pionship to be introduced in a tourna-
ment, under the management Of the
Brunswick Bake Collender Company, at
the Hotel Astor, April 13. He says: 'It
will be a good game. The seven-inch

piled will stop nursing at the anchor

Six American and National League
teams will be watched with more than
passing interest when the 1914 campaign
starts. In the Ban Johnson circuit are
the St Louis Browns, New York
Yankees, and Boston Red Sox. the Ma
tionaI League clubs are Brooklyn, Gin
cinnau, and Boston.
Managers virtually new to the fans will
be in charge OF these clubs, and upsets
are predicted by a few Of the experts.

start their first seasons as major league
leaders. Branch Hickey, OF the Browns,
and Bill Carrigan, of the Red Sox, were
on the job for a few weeks last summer,
while Chance spent a whole year with
the Yankees, and George Stallings, dur
ing the same length Of time, made good
with the Boston Nationals.
Robinson and Herzog. who have both
served under McGraw, VIII more than
likely employ McGraw methods with
their respective clubs. Robinson has a
lot Of frst-class material with which to
do business, but Herzog must start from
the ground floor and build up.
Branch Hickey has decided ideas OF
his own about managing a ball club, and

Western Highs Star Athlete
Leaves Georgetown
Institution.

"Untz" Brewer, Western High Schools
clever athlete, has entered the National
Cathedral School for Boys, and will rep
resent the Tennalleytown institution in
all branches of athletics from now on.
Brewer is not only a capable performer
on the gridiron, but is also a good ball
player, being at home in the box or at an
infield position. Last year Brewer
pitched and won three scholastic games
for Western, and hit well throughout the
season.
On the track last season Brewer did
creditable work for the West Enders,
aiding Capt Jones to win the inter-
scholastic title for the Red and White
cinder path artists.
Brewer should prove a big help to the
Cathedral School athletic teams, as he
will be able TO play on the ball club next
spring and will also run for the Ten
nalleytown institution.

Use PARI-MUTUEL
Betting SYSTEM
Bill In Maryland Legislature
to Enforce 'Iron Men"
at Tracks.
COL. WlNN FAVORS PLAN
General Manager Of Maryland State
Fair Strong for French
Form.
COL. WINN FAVORS PLAN
BY c. w. SWAN.

That the psri-mutuel form of betting
will be in vogue at the 1914 meeting of the
Maryland State Fair Association at
Laurel, Nd, appears to be an assured
fAct.
During the October meeting, Col. Matt
]. Winn, general manager of the asso-
citation, stated several times that he ap-
proved of the mutuel system, and that
he would install the iron men before
the next meeting.
Now, in order to make the change COM
pulsory, a bill will be introduced in the
Maryland legislature when it convenes
In January, to wipe out the optional
clause in the betting law and to create
. Statewide racing commission.
The recent meeting at Laurel was
success from every viewpoint. The fair
and horse show departments were
literally patronized, and the race meet
ing was the banner one of the associa-
ton. With thirty books in operation,
and good odds layed, the talent had lit
tie to kick on; still, Col. Matt Winn is
confident that the pari-mutuel system
will be justly popular with. the public
Reason Given.
The reason for the desire to establish
the pari-mutuels is made apparent in
the statement of the Maryland Jockey
Clubs earnings and expenses, recently
TUbmitteg to the racing commission Of
Baltimore County. The important item
is this: That the revenue from the pari-
mutuels this year amounted to AI6.O3O.SO
In 1912 the bOOkmakers paid the Mary
land Jockey Club $1,000 for the privi-
lfge of offering odds to the Pimlico
tracks patrons 1t will be seen from
this that parti-mutuels were more profit
able 10 the club than the bookmakers.
The receipts from all sources, the
statement says, were SOS, $3.50. and the
total operating expenses, S2l56SS.si- In
order to clean up this s176,0o0, at . per
cent commission, something like $780,
00O must have passed through the ma
chimes, with an average of about $780,
oOO for each of the twenty-siX days OF
racing.
The difference between what the play
ers paid in 1912 and the returns from
the Iron men" in 1913 shows clearly why
the officials of the club are so eager to
enforce the pari-mutuels on the race
goers of Maryland.
Costs $4,000 n Day.
The statement says that it cost the
club So, ,9i5.21 to run the mutuels-morc
than 5000 a day. This amount is So
great that it caused much comment
among racegoers who are familiar with
the working force employed in the
mUtuels. Here is The tabulated cost Of
running the machines per day, as es-
timated by a man familiar with the
game:
