ENGLISH WILL

w. G. George Tells of Inter.
est Abroad in Athletics
in Spite of War
ATHLETES AT THE FRONT

That the English track and field cham
pionship will be resumed this year and
that other sports will be patronized is the
feeling just now. What has partly en-
couraged the belief that athletics will
come in for some of the former attention
sprang from the fact that the recent
cross-country race for the Aldershot Com
mand attracted the enormous string of $40
starters.
Soccer football, skating and other win
ter sports have been continued to an ex-
tent which presages favorably for the
future w. c. George, of 4.i2A fame,
in letter to an American, tells some in
teresting items of English sport when he
says 80 we are to have the amateur
championships this year, and already the
gosspers have been talking of some crack
visitors from the States. They will be
welcome, of course, as they always
are. for they are sure to create a stir.

away some of our championships now, for

HENRY SCHWARTZ
REPLIES TO USILTON
-To the Editor of Epenina LedQer: !:

To the Editor Of Evening Ledger:
siE-In last Mondays paper L find q very
unfair article about SIF. SAKE, referee Of the
Philadelphia High schools.
1t appears 10 me that Mr., SAKE Is attacked
very unjustly. Several SEASONS ago he sew
cred his connection with the downtown
school Last year he selected by the
Supervisory Committee on Athletics as ref
cree Of the Public High school League. His
services proved satisfactory from the very
drsf. atfested by his refeFeeinE more
games In the league than all the referees
put together. He was fair to all schools
alike. aud though he had been coach Of the
Southern High School the year before. moro
fouls were called ON South Philadelphia than
on any other team
Tlis year he was again selected by the
Supervisory Committee Of the referees.
This aleat shows that Mr.. Saxe's services
were satisfactory last year.
Last Tuesday, when the south Philadel-
phIa HlEh School defeated the Central High
schsal b. the score Of 10 20 10, cry went
Up that Mr. 8axe Was unfair. It appears
rather queer that Mr.. Usiiton. coach Of the
Central High school. should raise such =
cry. To the public IL appears that Mr.. uslI-
ton b q cheap sport and cannot take defeat

HERR GETz, or Count Gensier, II 70,
Il Il prefer that. is coming to Phlladel
phia.
Perhaps this information conveys little
to the followers of sports In this city
but soon after Herr Getz or Count Gen.
gler arrives here every bowler and fan
in the city will realize just what II
means. Getz, who has been known as
Gengler In the last three cities he visited.
Is said to be one Of the most remarkable
money bowlers' in the history OF the
| game
He claims to be Belgian count, who
! came to this country just after the war
! broke out in Europe. Whether this Is
so. cannot be proved, but the fact remains
| that no one appears to know anything
| about him and he won't tell. However.
Il is enough to say that he has trimmed
every star bowler in the country who
has met him in n match game where a
large side bet was the incentive.
Gengler first turned up in Washington
six months ago. He freduented the large
bowling alleys and billiard halls and soon
became acquainted with the stars at both
games. He agreed to place n small wager
that he could defeat any opponent who
happened along. He had plenty of money,
and seemed to enjoy spending 1t at an
alarming rate. He lost heavily for n few
weeks, and the word was passed about
that he was an excellent captain"
Barley Wins From Star Bowler
All the star bowiers became interested
In Gengler, and finally they lined him UP
for large wager against one of the very
best bowlers In the capital Getz. as he
was known In Washington, Just managed
to win. The fans who had bet believed
the mysterious stranger was lucky, so he
was matched against the champion of the
city on the champions home alleys. 1t
looked like good time for the sports to
reap n harvest, so they got down heavily.
According to the Washington Post. at
least $4,000 was bet on the match. The
result astonshed the fans. Getz won as
he pleased, and rolled some wonderful
games. Then he agreed to give pins to
the best bowlers In Washington. Many
bets were made. Getz winning them all.
Then he suddenly disappeared.
Detroit was the scene of his next activ-
tiles but he soon departed without caus-
ing much comment. Chicago was next In
line. and Gengler. ms he was known in
that city, reaped a harvest. Among those
who fell before the Belgian marvel were
Pop" Blouin and Bob" Rolfe two
bowlers known from coast to coast. The
games were rolled on Blouins Alleys. and
naturally the Windy City followers of
bowling wagered all they had on Chi
cago's two best bowlers.
Turns Up in Cleveland
The mysterious wonder turned up in |
Cleveland last week. where he defeated |
Roy Griebel. champion of the city. in a |
2S-game match for a large wager This |
match was merely a side Issue to the |
numerous sweepstakes and special |
which Gengler won with ease

may meet his nemesis in this city.
The Washington Post has the following
to say about Herr Getz, or Gengler,
whichever YOU prefer:
Those who were fortunate enough to
watch Herr Getz, the unknown bowl
when he dropped into the capital incog-
nito last winter and caused a sensation
by trimming the pick OF the town on the
alleys, will take interest in the following
article from n Detroit newspaper and
dated from Chicago;
"'Who was he?
"'He was what the best seller writer's
call debonair; he admitted he was a count;
Chicago bowlers admit he was some
bowler; and he admitted he made money
In Chicago.
Suffice say he was a slcker Arriv-
ing in Chicago, he began to frequent the
bowling alleys and billiard halls. He
carried a cane, flashed cow-choking roll
and always insisted on buying for every
body In the place. Some boy, him! These
foreigners certainly know how to be po-
lite!
Then remarlSlng on his own ability in
the pin-toppling game, he would chance
to make few wagers for. WELL say, 500
a ball. He would lose once or twice and
then win; and when the town boy COM
menced to check UP the profit was on the
wrong side of the ledger.
"'At Blouin's Blue Island alleys several
of our best bowlers, including Pop Blouln
and Bob Rolfe. rolled against the count

bowling centres in a big auto and kldded
the stars into bowling. He lost until the
bets got big, and then on strange alleys,
with n strange ball. managed to win from
the best kindling topplers this city can
boast. He also picked UP a roll by his
billiard playing and won one bet of 500 in
a shooting gallery that is known of. 1t
