Washington. d. c., easily defeated
the Manassas High School sextet

33 to 10.
Gieman started the ball rolling
for the Washington girls when she
made a wonderful shot from the
floor. following this with four more
in rapid order. putting her team In
the lead. The team work of the
War Risk girls was the best seen
on the local court, which was easily
the feature of the game. Yelton and
Lawson, in the midcourt. played a
brilliant game, while Bower, at sioe
center for the losers, also played a
stellar game which was easily the
outstanding feature of the evening.
This contest makes the second time
the War Risk girls journeyed here
to play the local sextet. The WASH
ington girls lost the first by a small
margin. but as the Virginians would
not come to Washington for the re-

Georgetown win meet Maryland
states baseball team on the Hilltop
Held this afternoon in what is ex-.
pected TO be a fast game though 1t
Is an early season battle.
Both teams have shown signs of
good form and are rated as two OF
the best college mines in this vicinity.
Coach O'Reilly has no end OF ma
terial at the Hilltop college. as this
was proven in the game between
the Rock Hill and Georgetown teams
on Monday. His pitchers worked
like veterans. while the batting and
fielding by the entire team was
proof enough that great things can
be expected of the Blue and Gray
team this season.
With Coach Bryd. OF Maryland,
this season there is some of the best
diamond material seen for some
years past trying for the positions.
The class of baseball they are show
ing during the tryouts gives warn
ing that they are going TO prove
formidable opponents for many OF
the college teams listed on their lsIo

today withdrew the Injunction suit
in which he sought to prevent the
National League from making a
schedule for the 1920 season until
he had obtained an accounting with
the Chicago Club for money al
legged to be due him. Murphy filed
the suit during the meeting of the
league here several weeks ago.
but hearing on the injunction was
postponed. In the meantime the
league published its schedule, which
had previously been prepared. Muir
ply alleged that when the Cubs
were purchased by Charles Weegh-
man and his associates a ninety
nine-year lease on the old West
Side Park went with the team,
but that the new owners moved to
the North Side Federal League
Park and have since failed to pay

in a weather hash that Is known
as a Texas norther.

1t never attains the dignified

Neither does IL dwindle to the

and blows out again, accompa-
MED by most of the town. The
air Is filed with loose orders of
shad roes. spare Ford parts and
a sort of dandruffy material
that might be either dust or
cinders. A ton of 1t would make
very fair order of the coal
now being sold in New York
and suburbs.

Race Bill Still
In Doubt As 1t
Reaches Senate

Annapolis. Md, March 23.-The sem
ate has the Burke racetrack COM
mission bill today. 1t was chased
through the house last night with
out debate, with sixty-one votes to
its credit. What the senate will do
with 1t no one pretends to know.
As amended special payments pro-
vided for Anne Arundel. Prince
Georges and Haraford counties and
for the loans of Havre de Grace,
and Laurel and Baltimore City have
been cut out. Each of the four
mile tracks pays over to the State
$4,000 a day for each day racing is
conducted. In addition, PimIico
turns over to Baltimore County So
900. making it's daily payments So
900.
Reserved for the tracks is a Is
per cent return on their investments
and the difference between this guar
antee return and the daily pay
ments also goes into the State treas
ury. Days for racing are cut from
liz to 100. Hence the State has {,
guaranteed minimum return Of $780,
900 a year from the ponies. The
actual returns may go much higher.
Elimination of the special pay
ments to the counties has offe nded
the legislators from the counties
where the tracks are located. The
fear is entertained that this provi-
sion may cost the legislation some
senate votes. but in the house last
night the friends of the ponies lined
up back of the bill Notwithstanding &
their disappointment and this was
accepted as forecasting similar ac-
tion in the State senate.
There is talk in the senate of cut
ting down the number of racing
days in the State, even below the
100 days already provided in the
bill.
The Bowie racetrack bill is still
in the Senate and has not been acted
upon as yet. An attempt is to be
made to amend this bill so as to
make the law take effect from the
date of passage, and which is about
the only way that Bowie will be
allowed to have racing this spring.
The bill as it now stands says the
law shall take effect on June /.

Carpenter AriDes
In New York CHy

New York, March 23. Georges
Carpenter, smiling, and as happy
as a schoolboy with a new watch,
walked down the gang plank and
stepped on the French Line dock in
West Fifteenth street shortly after
10 this morning. Timidly clutching
his right arm. as though she need
ed its protection against the huge
throng that waited for a glimpse
of the French boxer, was his pretty.
blue-eyed young wife. Immediately
behind them came Francois Des-
camps. Carpenters manager, and
George Pepin, French light
weight of note, who will train Car
pentier for his proposed bout with
Jack Dempsey, the titleholder.
Tex Rickard, Americas premier
fight promoter, escorted the party
TO the Biltmore Hotei.
Regardless OF the fact that Car
pentier was a victim of seasickness
for two days on the way over, his
spirit was buoyant and his smile
broad and CHEEKY. He chatted de-
Gghtfully with his companions and
an Interpreter. None of the party
spoke English.
Carpenter said he weighed 172
pounds and stood Eve feet ten inches
In his stocking feet. As to his COM
ing fight with Dempsey, he declared
Jack was a "rusher" and the type
Of fighter that was Just his kind"
He stated he was confident of de-
feating him In six rounds or less.
He added, however, that should he
lose tho fight, it would be his last.
In the event that he won, he ex-
pressed his willingness to defend
the title against all comers.
. Descamps admitted that Carpen-
tier was under contract to c. B.
Cochran, the English promoter, un-
til December 81, 1920. The contract,
he said. was made the morning after
Carpenter knocked out Joe Beckett,
the English champion, and was re-
newed in stronger faith by all par
ties the day before Carpenter sailed
for America
When his contract with Cochran
expires, Carpenter will start on a.
ten weeks vaudeville tour under the
direction of Jack Curley, the New
York promoter, who has signed up
the French champion to box exhibit
tions all over the country at $4,000
