Big Red Team to Meet Quak-

at Hopkins.

Baltimore. Feb. S.-Corneu VS..
Penn-that surely has a real CLAM
our about it for all followers Of
collegiate sport in its various
branches, and that same Cornell vs..
Penn glamour will surround the big
feature event of the annual indoor
games of Johns Hopkins University
to be held on February 23, at the
armory. Announcement to the ef-
feet that the big Red team had been
chosen to face the Quakers in the
two-mile relay feature of the an
nual indoor classic was made by the
committee in charge this morning.
and the feeling that II made a ten
strike in booking this race will be
concurred in by all the followers
OF indoor track athletics.
For some time now the commit
tee has been seeking to book what
it considered a sure-fire success for
its feature race, and indications are
that its efforts have been most
fruitful. Penn has had representa-
tives. in the Armory games more
or less regularly. but 1t has been
quite a few years since the Itha-
cans have participated in the local
contests. Coach Jack Moakley has
made a wonderful name for himself
at Ithaca. and he can be counted
upon to bring team down that will
make II most interesting for the
boys from Franklin Field.

RACING EVENT
Stake at Spring Meeting a.
Pimlico Track Will Make
Turf History.

Baltimore, Feb. S.-The Maryland
Jockey Club has issued the blanks
for the stakes that will be run at
Pimlico this spring. and interest. Of
course. centers on the Preakness, TO
which will be added SIS. .OO0-by far
the most liberal donation made 10
the horsemen in the East and equal
ed by only two other events in the
country. both OF which are run in
Kentucky. The Hopeful at Sara
toga, and the FUturity run at Bel
mont Park carry more attractive
figures. but they are both guaran-
teed stakes-the kind that the
horsemen make up with their ell
trance and starting fees, so they
can be forgotten in the desire to
give the Maryland Jockey Club
credit for what they are trying TO
do, which is to build up racing with
generous prizes, both in purses and
stakes-thst is. donate. not collect
and merely award.
This race comes at an opportUne
time. The 2-year-olds of last seas
on were far above the average,
more than a dozen rating close TO
top-notchers, with fully another
dozen showing so well that the
winter rest may bring them to the
mark held by those now classed as
their superiors. Another argument
in favor of the race is that il will
be the first meeting of the season
for 3-year-olds, and this lends in
terest and uncertainty, for the jour

a furlOng-is very apt to bring some
real reversals of greatness. The
sprinter of last year may find a
conQueror in the colt or flly that
could not be classed with him. Il
is this that will lend zest to the
event and bring to the post a field
of most generous proportions.
The scale of allowances in the con
ditions is also an incentive for tn,
starting Of some Of the lesser lights
and just as soon as the race was
announced. some three weeks ago.
plans for the spring campaign were
altered in many of the most for
midable stables in the country. Sew
eraI owners who had planned a trip
10 Kentucky for the Derby at Church.
iI Downs at once gave up the idea
and ordered their trainers TO make
Pimlico the scene Of their opening
bid of the season. Others that had
intended TO await the opening in
New York have already issued an
edict for the trip 20 Maryland. with
instructions TO make ready the best
in the stable with the first break in
the weather. The effect of this will
be a very material one in not alon'
this one race but in the others that
will be run, for with the 3-year-oIds
for the Preakness will come the en-
tire stable, material which will tend
to make even the overnight events
more attractive than usual. OF
course, special provision will be mad
in the way Of races for these horses
and the good from the Preakness will
be in evidence during the entire
meeting.
Already turfmen generally are dis
cussing the merits of the likely con-
tenders and IL is surprising TO ind
how varied opinions are among those
well entitled to be classed as clever
judges
Papp and Sun Briar naturally start
the arguments, but il does not take
long to bring many other candidates
into the reckoning.

CENTRAL, 1s; BUSINESS, II.

Central started on with rush
in the first half and scored six bas-
kets from the floor. while Business
was able to cage two. Raedy shoot
ing these from hard angles. At
the end of the half Central was
leading by points, and 1t main
tanned this lead to the end OF the
game.
Business was on the defense from
the outset and did not make many
attempts to shoot baskets until the
latter part Of the second half. But
the Stenographers had few open
shots for the basket, for Central
had the Business forwards covered.
In the second half Business reg
istered three baskets from the floor
two by Schneider and one by Fegan
and Mike Raedy's free toss brought
the Stenographers' total up to IL.
Central played the short passing
game during the second half, and
took things easy, holding the
Stenographers in check. Solomon
and Capt. Daily were all over the
floor. but had few shots at the bas-
Het in the OPEN DAILY was not in
form at shooting free tosses. as he
only Gagged one of nine attempts.

feated the Southern Railroad quint
last night in the boys gym by 36 to "a.
Southern started on like winners
and at the end of the first half had
the Y: NJ. C. A. quint by two points,
but the "Y' boys came back strong
after the intermission and played the
Railroaders to a standstill and then
went out in front never to be over
taken.
The "Y" five showed some excellent
short passing and took advantage of
every break by the Railroaders.
Ingley, of the "Y" quint, was all
over the floor. and after having the
ball passed to him by Catlin he was
under the basket for shots. He Gagged
eight baskets from the floor and con-
tributed four points from the free toss.
Catlin was only a little behind Ingley
in scoring points as he Gagged six bas-
kets from the floor during the contest.

HATCHETITES PLAY
BR00KLAND QUINT

The pennant in the District Inter-
collegiate Basketball League may
be decided tonight when the George
Washington University tossers meet
the Catholic University cage-men.
The Hatchetites are now leading
the circuit without a defeat being
registered against them, while the
Brooklanders have captured two
games and dropped one.
A victory for the Hatchetites
would place them away out in
front while the Brooklanders will
even up the race with a win. This
