ovet George Washington in basket
ball in the big Brookland gymnasium
last night The Brooklanders got
pretty nearly all the breaks in the
game which cannot be said for the
Hatchetites.
Neither team displayed its best
court form. Both fives being keyed
up to the limit were guilty or poor
passing and faulty handling of the
ball Both teams were unable to
shoot with any consistency, being
forced to take hurried shots at the
ring with the result that c. L. had
e bit better luck.
Lynch and Gleason. of he Brook
landcrs. performed creditably while
Daily and Loehler, of the Hatchetites
were in good form. Boteler shot well
from the free toss mark for the
downtown lads.
The battle furnished plenty of ex-
element for the fans and Is sure to
prove an attractive battle when the
teams meet again on February l, the
date changed from February ..

Carnegie Tech team OF Pittsburgh, to-
morrow night in Ryan gymnasium.

the Blue and Gray players against

enough to warrant the prediction that
Georgetown will be forced to the limit

KEEP SILENT
Baseball SoIons Sign Agree.
ment Not to Criticize
Each Other.
By LUTHER A. HUSTON.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Interviews
with baseball magnates promise to be
as scarce in the future as the kaiser S
friends.
Besides signing the new national
agreement under which Judge Ian
dis will administer the affairs OF
organized baseball for seven years,
the individual major league club
owners likewise signed at their
meeting here an agreement not to
criticize each other publicly or to
talk about one another and to accept
any decision Judge Lands renders,
regardless Of their personal opinion
of it. Ban Johnson, president of the
American League, and John Heydler,
head of the National, signed this
agreement.
With the national agreement drawn
up and duly ratified, plans for an
early trial OF the ball players under
indictment for conspiracy to throw"
the 1919 worlds series to Cincinnati
were being formulated today.
George German, assistant State
attorney, who will direct the prose-
cution, said he expected to bring the
indicted players to trial by February
j. 1t is German desire ana tne ue-
side of the heads of baseball to have
the trials complete before the open
ing of the baseball season.
Most of the magnates had departed
from Chicago today. as the business
of the big meetings in session here
since Monday has been virtually COM
pleted. The single business remain
ing is the PRONUNCIATION of new set
Of drafting rules, and this is to be at
tended to by a committee of major
and minor leaguers which will meet
today.
The new International League and
the American Association Will not
submit to the draft, but under the new
agreement they are not compelled to-.
They are barred, however, from
drafting from any league of lower
classification. The draft will prevail,
it is understood, in all other minor
leagues.
Formal signing of the new national
agreement by the National Associa-
ton (the minor league body) is yet to
take place, but as the minors have
voted concurrence in the agreement.
he signing is a matter of formality
only.

OF his career had been swept away.
Cans heart seemed broken by the
time he had gone eight rounds. At
the end of the third round ne told
his seconds that he felt his strength
slipping away from him. His nerve
gave way completely in the six
teenth round. when he had the palsy
and he could not control himself.
CANS HITS FLOOR.
Cans was either knocked down or
went down to avoid punishment eight
times in all during the fight. On n
number of occasions he was just
getting up as the timekeeper was
about to count him out. AS a mat
ter of fact. he was counted out twice
officially in he last round. The first
time, owing to the tumult, Referee
Jack Welsh did not hear the count
of ten and the fight went on. The
next time exhausted nature would
not come to the relief of the old
champion and he was unable to re
gain his feet.
Cans frame was Quivering convul-
sively when he came up for the six
teenth round, as though he had a
chill, and medical men at the ring
side said that this was an indication
that he had lost his nerve. He held

together and the latter peppered his
body frequently with right and left.
Nelson sent a hard right to the heart
and soon had Cans in q corner. Cans
tried a right to the head. but there
was no steam behind the blow.
Nelson was after him rrlentlessly
and the once peerless Cans had no
defense against the attack of his
young opponent. Nelson uppcrcut
Cans with his right and landed that
terrible left to the head again. Cans
went down on his right knee and at
the end of eight seconds the gong
sounded the end of the round. just
saving him from a knockout at this
stage of the fight.
NELSON SLIPS OVER ROPES.
The seventeenth and last round
found Nelson spurred on to the great
eest of efforts. as he knew the end or
the fight was close at hand. He sent
a right to the head and followed this
up with Earring uppercut. Cans
rushed Nelson to the ropes and tho
Dane slipped back out of the ring.

rope, which caught him around tho

severe strain on the Dane.
The latter was up without any de-
lay and attacked Cans vlciously.

Cans went down on his side, being
partly wrestled down and partly hit.
He was down on his launches a mo-
ment afterward and stayed almost
for the full limit OF ten seconds.
When he stood up Nelson sent a hard
right to the jaw, and this time Cans
stayed down for the full count.

CENTRAL TOMEET
TECHF[O0R TEAM

Tech and Central meet on the floor
tomorrow in the Central Coliseum,
tnth and Pennsylvania avenue north
west, In what is expected to be A
first-Class engagement. All Central
Tech contests are we'll worth watch
ing. As finale the Eastern and
Business teams take tho floor.
Tech and Eastern are tied for the
leadership in the high school race.
Tech defeated Western IS 10 II ana
Eastern got the edge on Central by
IL to o Previously Western had
urounccd Business.
As the race now stands Tech and
Eastern are out in front with ono win
and no losses. Central and Business
have each dropped a contest while
Western has won and lost
A win for both Central and Busi-
ness today would leave tho teams tied
with one loss each or just where they
started week ago. Those who are
following tho high school series this
year see little to choose between any
OF the teams.
Central is capable OF playing better
basketball than il did against East
ern. Western showed 4 superior
brand OF floor game against Business
and then looked too well drawn in its
Jccn contest Inc IeCn iauS ratheT
surprised themselves against Western
for the form pickers had selected the
Red and White players for a win.
Tomorrow's games will probably
draw out the banner crowd of the
season. Practically all of the Central
and Tech followers Will be on hand.
From indications the largest crowd
that ever followed n high school con-
test will be on hand in the Central
Coliseum.

The Virginia Military Institute
team is playing it's games with Lee
Hunting, Leech, Stuart. Summers, and
one or two others known to fame as
football players, but the point for the
- mole matter is that two lads well
known to Washington basketball
fans is attracting attention.
Henry Lee. the V. NJ. |. forward. is
the same youngster that as kid per-
formed so creditably for St. Adams
School when Coach George +. Green
now at Western. was coaching out
there Lee was then a mere kid but
fitted into the ST. Adams machine In
fine shape.
PLAYED FOOTBALL.
Francis Summers is the siX-foot
three AleXandrian who helped stand
the University and Pennsylvania foot
ball players on their beam ends in
that memorable trip to Franklin Field
last fall.
Summers is one Of the best athletes
in the South Atlantic section. As
tackle on the football team and cen
ter on the basketball five he has
earned first-class honors. In addi-
ton he Is a healthy shot putter. sum
mer's ability from the free throw line
is also we'll known.
While the Virginia Military Insti
tute cadets failed to meet the rough
ly repre- South Atlantic five
on the floor last year they put in a
claim for the honor on the strength
OF their record. This season they
appear to be on the move toward fur
thering the claim.
BUNTING Is STAR.
Bunting, who is crack football
player, and Leech, whose Eridiron
praises have been sung well over the
land. are in the Virginia Military In
stitute team.
Unfortunately tho Flying Cadets
do not play in Washington. They
would be fine drawing card. In
