CALIFORNIA SWIMMERS
 IN EASTERN INVASION

San Francisco, Jan. 19-WftFl chaI- lenges all formulated for Harvard and Yale and other eastern colleges and universities, Manager Ernie Smith and Captain Lludy Langor of the University of California swimming team, are arranging a3 21-day eastern invasion with the end in view of be ing crowned the champions of the inter-collegiate world, and from all Indications the Crimson and the Blue Water-men will have to do better. than ever before to keep this star aggre- gation from realizing it's ambitions.
 The team is an exceptionally strong ene. Ludy Langor, the captain, gained fame last July by defeating Raithe1, McGi1vray and other cracks of the Illinois Athletic club at Sutro tank in the 440-yard event, and in cidental1y he set a. new worlds record of minutes. 22 2-5 seconds for the distance.
 The next day he came out and trimmed the mighty Duke fKahanano- ku over 8s0 yards, and in this race broke the existing American record for the distance. He is also good over 220 yards. and in various meets will swim these distances, as we'll as taking a chance at fancy driving, at which he is an expert.

st.. John's. 2o. st. Oharles 1e.

The St. Charles St. Johns game was another hair-raiser, the latter foutplaying the former from start to finish. The Allies were. reinforced by General Kochiss who had his Krupp gun working to perfection while Brigadfer General Lucas was all around the floor in his Zeppelin. The Charles were driven to their. trenches right at the start whom Kochiss dropped two bombs into Fort Charles breastworks.
 The latter army were minus Chris ty and Horkheimer, their two sharp shooters. But the Johns deserved to win as they outplayed the Charles from the very start. Brennan, Dra- per and Hanbury were all action and easily featured for the Charles.
 It is really a good thing for the league that the Hearts and Saints were defeated as Friday night will prove this statement. On Friday night St. Charles meet St. Mary's in the opener and the game will be a ripper. Christy and Horky will be back on the firing line and their su- perior work coupled with the fine work so far displayed by Hanbury and Brennan will make the ''Saints'' a possible favorite over their Alma Mater. The score:

BILLY MURRAY TELLS
 ABOUT HIS WORST TEAM

Billy Murray, who has managed Baseball teams here, there and every where in his long connection with the diamond, asserts that a nine which he led in Portsmouth, N HI, was the worts professional club ever assem- bled.
 ~ We were playing game one after noon, says Murray, 'tfand our right fielder and centre fielder each dropped the first two chances which came their way The fifth ball hit in their di- rection, fell safely, when they coIIided and fell down
 tsWflen the men came into the bencI, started to call the captain down Why didn't you shout what man yol1 wanted to take that ball?'' [ asked.

 We'll the unexpected happened at last The Hearts finally lost their first game of the season They were minus the work of Bill Lannon. the Is suffering from a wrenched back and unable to play. As predicted in these columns last night, Pat Hurley was a sensation with the "Saints'' while Garrity of the Hearts was equal 1y as sensational, both tossing six bas- kets for their respective teams. The s'Saints' started off with g. rush and tossed the first two baskets with ap- parent ease. Garrity of the Hearts then came back with three baskets in rapid succession for the Hearts Hur- ley tossed in two more for the Saints and with about a minute left to play in this half,. GartIand, the speedy cen- ter of the Hearts shot one from a difficult angle and the half wound up with the score at B. to 8.
 The loss of Lannon was keen1y felt during this half and many predicted a win for St. 6ary's,
 At the start of the second half the Hearts showed signs of fatigue and well they might. St. Mary's had three extra men and the former had but five players on the job. But that is no excuse, the Hearts were. outp1ay- ed. Hurley again started on a ram page and tossed two more almost before the sound of the whistle had died out.
 The Hearts were good at passing but they were away off in their shoot ing with the exception of Garrtty, who again shot two into the netting. Dunn of the Saints then made one of the feature plays of the evening, shooting one in from the center of the floor. The Hearts were tiring fast. Hurley then tossed in two more for the Saints and it was all over but the shouting. Dunn, Whe1an, Mcpon- aId and Hurley featured for the Saints the former three showing fast Improvement over their past perfor- mances. The score:

WHITTED OF
 BRAVES ASKS.
 S3,OOO BONUS

Boston Jan. 1s-Having survived tlne pleasures and per41s of the hunt astit goes in the South President Calf new of the Braves will be on hand at his Boston office this afternoon to re- sla1ne business again, having cons1d- era.ble confronting him.
 The presence of George Whitted, tte olItheIder and utility man of the Braves furnished the one touch of active baseball business Efforts were made by both President Gaffney and Manager Stallngs to induce the play sr to come to terms during the per lods when game was not being sought But G. Whitted came ohthe camp Of slkhe hunters and departed therefroIn with, his mind unchanged and the sit- nation as regards his signing up rath- ar complex.
 As4 is inevitably the result when a teaIn wins a. championship, there come the demands of the players on that team for boosts in salary. Presi- dent sGaffney realizes the inevitable End is satisfying reasonable requests Sbs1t the Whitted case is something else < again. The Durham player desires to remain with the Braves and b ethere h the thick of another worlds series He has enjoyed walking away with k nice slice of money as per the same and would certainly like to undergo 1t again and, if possible, again
 But he is wanted at Pfiladelphia by The PhiIIies as a part of the deal that brings Sherwood Magee to Boston. From chance remarks dropped by Whitted it can be gathered that he would not object to going to the Phil lies baat=and this is 8 big but-he wants to be recompensed for losing hny prospective share in a worlds ser les. That he places at s3,000.
 So the mere matter of 5000 iron men stands in the way of the signing up Of George and his very probable departure to the team led by Pat Moran. In the meantime he is at his home. having departed tos that place with the firm declaration of re- tiring from stzle game unless he wins his point.
 As nsatters}are it would be question able if the parting of Whitted from the Braves would not place tSa1hngs in a ellansdary It is by no means un- likely that Captain Johnny EEvers may be unable to Joe at his aceustom ed position this coming season. In fact. if the doughty. Johnny follows the ad- vice of his p11ysiciaas, It is very prob able that he will not make any att tempt to work, at least in the early part of the season With this in view the presence Of W1rfttetd with the Braves would be almost absolute " necessary. While not a star at second base Wh1tted stands out as the best available man in sight for the place.
