GEORGETOWN SPEEDS UP
TO TRIM WESLEYAN MEN

1t required all the speed and skill
latent in Georgetown's veteran bas-
ketball combination to defeat West
Virginia Wesleyan University in
Ryan gymnasium by a score of 35
to IS.
The Hilltoppers got in ahead in the
first half by IA to 10 because the Wes-
leyan guards were demons on de-
tense. So good were Stark and Roro-
bough that Flavin and Fees were
practically scoreless in the FIRST half.
Fees was kept from scoring a field
goal during the entire game, and as
It was the first time the Hilltop
player has been blanked in his long
and brilliant career, it will be seen
that the visitors delivered the goods.

Injuries Form.

Does marathon golf hurt
mans game? When George Hoff-
ner, Philadelphia champion, was
asked il he would accept the
challenge issued by Eddie Styles,
he replied decisively in the ngea-
tive. Hoffner claimed that Styles
was playing consistent golf last
year until he became imbued
with the idea of setting a new
worlds record for long distance
golf, and later accomplished
that feat.
Fred knight was another play
er who tried the marathon stunt,
and neither he nor Styles seemed
to be able to regain his stride
after their attempts. Styles made
a good showing in the South last
year, but after his marathon golf
never put up a consistent win

ers evenly. II Heisman can teach the

BROOKLYN WONITS
BANNER IN OLD CIRCUIT
By FREDERIC G. LIEB.

The Brooklyn Dodgers have won
only one championship since Ned
Hanlon's famous Superbas bossed the
National League roost in 1899 and
1900. and Brooklyn slid home with
that championship-the pennant OF
I9l6-by the very skin of its molars.
Backed to the wall, apparently
thrown into a rut, the Dodgers sue
ceeded in winning the 1916 pennant
by capturing the most vital game
ever played by Brooklyn club.
The 1916 race was one of the closest
and hardest fought races the veteran
major league ever has known. Only
that famous race OF 1908, in which
both the Pirates and Giants lost the
pennant to the Cubs on their last
scheduled games beat the race of 1916
as a thriller.
1t was race between the four
Eastern clubs, as the Dodgers, Braves
and Phillies came down the home
stretch in September running neck to
neck. The New York Giants by reel
ing off their sensational run of TWEEN
ty-six straight victories in late Au-
gust and September made a frantic
effort to overtake its three Eastern
competitors
Injuries Knocked out the Boston
club, though the Braves were not
actually counted out until two days
before the end. But as the season
drifted to a close. 1t became apparent
that the race would hinge on the out
come of three-game series sched-
uled on Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. be-
tween the Phillies and Dodgers on the
last three days of September.
Beat 'Em Four Straight.
Early in September the Phillies al
most handed the Dodgers a knock
out blow by beating them in four con-
secutive games in Philadelphia, but
the Phils lost their advantage by
coming over to New York and losing
four straight to the Giants. That
was during New Yorks run of 'twen-
ty-six straight"
when the big series started on Sep
tembcr 2s Brooklyn led by game
and a half. The two teams both had
hfty-seven defeats but Brooklyn had
ninety victories against eighty-seven
foe the Philadelphia club. One vic
tory out of the three-game series
would still give Brooklyn a shred of
a lead, but three straight for the
Phillies practically would eleminate
the Dodgers. from the race.
The series started on a Thursday,
September 2S, before capacity
crowd, Philadelphia winning, 8 to 4.
with Alexander in the box. That re-
duced Brooklyn's lead to a half a
game.
On Friday. September 90, rain made
play impossible. As reserved seats
had all been sold out for the games
scheduled on Friday and Saturday,
permission was received from the
league to play the postponed game
OF September 29 on saturday morning,
September 80. II is one OF the few in
stances on record where a major
league ball game has been played on
a morning outside, of a holiday.
