Technical Business.

Technical was completely outclassed
by Business, and therefore was always
on the defense. Its forwards could
not cope with Snyder and Fegan, of
the Stenographers. who We're all over
the floor, while Raedy. who jumped
center for Business, played a rowing
game and took several shots at the
basket that missed by a narrow mar
gin
The Manual Trainers did not make a
basket from the floor during the game.
and all its points were scored on fouls
committed by opponents. Guervick and
Anderson played the best floor game
for the Manual Trainers. but even
these two could not overcome the
weakness OF their teammates.
Business scored four baskets in the
nrst half, and came back in the sec
ond and scored the same number. One
point from foul was made when Raedy
Gagged the ball. Schaffer and Capt.
Towbes played well, as Towbes' basket
from the floor late in the second half
was well placed and brought him a
round Of applause from the crowd

CAMP NTIMATES
GEORGIA TECH BEST

While Mr.. Camp does not say il in
so many words. he intimates that
Georgia Tech stood alone among the
1917 elevens. He writes:
No team OF past years has ever
made such a general public impress
sion upon the country as that OF
Georgia Tech, coached by J. W. Hcls-
man, this season. Its tremendous de-
feat Of the University OF Pennsyl-
vania on November 8. Il TO o. opened
the eyes Of the public. Georgia Tech
ran 81 more points on Carlisle than
did the Navy, 20 more points than did
the Army, - more points than did
Pennsylvania, and - more points than
did West Virginia. besides Debating
Washington and Lee 6 10 o, and Van

CAGE GAMES
ARESTARTED
Business Finds Tech Easy
While Western Forced
Central the Limit.

Business and Technical High
Schools opened the >inter-high
schools basket ball series yesterday
afternoon in the Y. NJ. c. A gym.
This game was followed by Central
and Western, which really was the
thrill OF the day. as it took extra
periods to break the deadlock at
the end of the second half.
In the opener, Business had little
trouble in defeating Tech, 20 to 4.
The Manual Trainers presented a
green combination in which team
work was lacking. The Central
Western game was hard fought all
the way and was only decided in the
last few minutes of play when
Dave Wilson Gagged the ball after
DAILY and Solomon had carried it
down the floor from under the
Western basket, the score being ] 5
to lao.

PLANS
NEWSTAKES
Three-YearO OldEvent to Be
Worth $751; 900; SteepIe-
chase Feature, $1,000.

John l. Day, turf editor Of the New
York Morning Telegraph. writes as
follows:
A new stake for 3-year-olds, with
$4,000 additional money, Il one OF the
rare birds in these times of racing
that horsemen have a chance to shoot
at if present plans contemplated by
the Pimlico Jockey Club are carried
out. The Pimlico Association. which
was most liberal in the way of purse
offerings. during the past season, is
willing to go still further, and whether
the $4,000 stake Is put in the book
or not, there are certain to be some
additions in the way of extra purses.
Another steeplechase feature. with a
purse of 500 added. also is being talk
ed OF. and at a meeting OF the Pim-
lico Club on January Il both Of these
big new stakes will be acted upon,
and from all present indications they
both may be expected TO go through.
W. p. Riggs. general manager of the
Pimlico course, was in New York yes
terday and told Secretary Frank ].
Bryan that the Pimlico Stakes would
be announced on January Is for the
spring meeting.
Should the plan now on foot TO put
the $4,000 added money stake in She
book, Pimlico, whose spring meeting
will conflict with the Churchill Downs
meeting at Louisville. will have an Of
fering for the 3-year-old Slmost equal
in attraction TO the Kentucky Derby.
AS for the Kentucky Derby, how
ever, it IS not likely that any stake
Offering for the coming spring will de-
tract from the interest which is GER
tain to be taken in the big annual
event Of the Blue Grass State. Each
year interest in this race grows. and
the crowds are larger and larger each
succeeding year.
Just now most Of the talk about
Derby probabilities Cente-s about a
few horses, these being Escoba, Sun
Briar. War Cloud and Papp; August
Belmont's Lucullite being left out OF
all Derby calculations. because there
is no chance Of his being sent so far
from home.

COMMISSION WILL
REGULATE THE TAX

Chicago, Jan. 4-The National Com
mission, when it meets in Cincinnati
next week, will probably appoint a
committee from both leagues to go
to Washington In the near future to
get a ruling on the tax on baseball
tickets. There is much doubt in the
minds of many of the club owners
about how the tax should be levied.
and some definite arrangement will
be made before the season begins.
Season tickets, rain checks, compli-
mentary passes and other forms of
admission. present many complica-
tions, on which the baseball people
will get an official ruling.

BASEBALL ON ICE
HOLDS OHIO FANS

Sandusky, Ohio. Jan. 4-Baseball on
ice is claiming the attention of fans
in the Lake Erie Island region. Teams
have been organized on Putin Bay,
North and Middle Bass and Kelleys
Islands. A league race for a pennant
will be run If weather conditions per-
nit.
Baseball is played on ice as it is on
land. except that the players wear
skates and the ball is of solid sub
ber. The ball fairly sails through the
air when the batsmen connect and the
fielder is compelled TO skate a long
distance before he RECEIVERS il.
As the runner is forced to halt until
he touches each base, the handicap
that otherwise would be against the
fielder is overcome. Five innings con-
stitute a game and the scores usually
run into the thirties.

CHAMP BESTED
BY WHEATLEY
Wallace Forced to Take De-
feat at Hands Of Profess
sor by l00'to IS.

A large crowd of fans turned out
last night at the Grand Central to
witness the exhibition pocket-biI-
lard games between Prof. George
Wheatley and the District cham
pion, Walter Wallace. These mas
ters of the ivories exhibited won
derful control oevr the little white
ball, but the District veteran was
forced to take defeat at the hands
of Wheatley after one of the most
Interesting matches ever witnessed
here, the score being 100 to IS.
By consistent playing in the early
frames, Wheatley' jumped out into
a short lead but the veteran Wal
lace obtained a hold on his stroke
and by a brilliant run of Is, placed
himself a few balls in the lead. At
the turning point of so balls,
Wheatley came along with a rush,
and by gathering in a run of Is
which was shortly followed by a
count of 19. which was the highest
of the evening, he placed himself in
a comfortable position. Wheatley
was never in much danger after
this high run and showed a mas
terful stroke in the last few in
nings.
High runs OF IL, IL and IS were
registered by both players during
the course of the game. After
Wheatley had demonstrated a few
trick shots. Referee George King.
announced that the disputed game
of last Wednesday night between
George Tilpts and Prof. Wheatley
would be shot OF.
At the time this game broke up
in dispute, the score stood wheatIey
81. Tilpts 9s, with but two balls re-
manning on the table. The balls
were placed in the position in which
they were left on Wednesday night,
and Tilpts granted the permission to
shoot. Tilpts knocked OF a long
spOt-shot, which placed him in al
most perfect position for the-next
ball, but before Prof. WheatIey would
allow him to take his stroke he
reached his hand across the table,
acknowledging defeat. These play
ers will meet in Prof. WheatIey's
final exhibition match at the Grand
Central tonight.
The pocket-billiard tournament
scheduled to get under way on Mon
day night at the Grand Central has
been postponed indefinitely. Maurice
