The second game of the independ-

championship of this city will be
played tomorrow night in the Con-
zaga gymnasium. at s:15 p. m. The
Yankees drew first blood in the series
by annexing the first game, played in

all they have to do to clinch the title
will be to gain a victory tomorrow

The Aloysius aggregation has been
under the tuteleGc and guidance of
cred Rice, coach OF Catholic Uni

only been with the Aloysius quint for
two weeks.
The Aloysius rootcrs are loud in
their praise in the way Heddona WAS

Heddons, is one of the clcverest

ranks with the best performers in
this section.

some good basketball. Bryan Morse,
athletic director at George Washing

MAY COMBINE ALL
MARYLAND TRACKS
If Rumors Come True Bowie
Plant May Pass Out Of
Existence.

BALTIMORE. March l1.--Despite
denials, the rumor will not down
here that the owners of the Pimlico
and Laurel tracks are in the field
to buy both Bowie and Havre dc
Grace.
1t was said in racing circles here
today that a member of the Mary
land State racing commission was
willing to underwrite a part of the
properties along with the Maryland
Jockey Club and the Laurel Asso-
citation. This done, an association
similar to that OF the Kentucky
Jockey Club would be formed with
all tracks under one ownership and
one head.
That Bowie has been in the mar
ket for months Ia no secret, for Z
il the least desirable. although mona
the less profitable Of the Maryland
racing properties. Should the pur-
chase be effected il would not be
surprising IL Bowie would pass odt
OF existence.

As a result of his exceptional
performance in the recent Stuyvesant
School boxing tournament held IN
Warrenton. Va. under the -dircctio1
of James Bateman. physical di-
rector. at Stuyvesant, William b.
Clark will probably be sent to the

r1ent among the students OF the
Wsrrenton School which was largely
attended by Warrenton society folk
and enthusiasts of the ring game.
Clark won the senior medal. The
bouts were refereed by Joe Bate
man and the judges were DR.. ROB-
ertson and Mr.. Cable.
In the senior class Clark defeated
Tom DeFord and Nevill had pre-

has studied most OF the holds in
wrestling that amount to anything
and worked on them In an untiring
and painstaking fashion until he has
them perfected. As DR.. b. +. Roller
says:
"Zbyszko learns something from
every good man he meets. There is
nothing snowy about his style. but II
is hard to get him off balance. and
being almost continually on the Of
fensive an opponent Is never given a
moments rest"
At gathering of wrestlers the
other day the question OF relative
merits between Zbyszko and Stecher
was quite generally discussed, and
there seems to be a decided difference
Of opinion. There are those who re-
gard Zbyszko as the greatest wrestler
on the mat today. while others profess
confidence In Stecher's ability to get
the Pole with the famous body scis-
sors as only a Stecher knows how to
apply II. A great deal. of course, will
depend on Stecher's condition, and
they say he is In old-time form once
again.
sANDOw PICKS sTECHER.
The moment Billy Sandow, who is
manager OF Ed Lewis, the present
champion, heard that Stecher and
Zbyszko are going to meet he unhesi-
tatingly declared that Stecher would
win. II records count for anything. il
is doubtful IL there is any grappler
before the public today who can show
such an almost uninterrupted series
Of successes as the elder Zbyszko.
1t will be recalled that when he
came TO this country the first time,
more than twelve years ago, he was
determined to win the catch-as-catch-
can championship. On one occasion
he met the famous Georges Hacken-
schmidt at Madison Square Garden
in a handicap match; that is, Hack"
agreed to throw Zbyszko in an hour
and a half At the end of that time
Zbyszko was the freshcr of the two:
in fact. he was behind his man and
seemed in a fair way to victory.
The Pole never will forget his
meeting with Frank Gotch in Chi
cago. when called to the center of
the mat to begin hostilities Zbyszko
extended his hand for the customary
shake. but Cotch. ignoring this for
mality. made a sudden dive for his
opponents leg, and. taking Zbyszko
by surprise, had tho latter's shoulders
to the mat in something like twelve
seconds.
The only other occasion in this
country which ended unfavorably to
Zbyszko was at the Garden when he
lost consciousness while wrestling
with Zurich. the Russian. He had
been badly injured two nights before
as a result of a fan out Of the ring.
DOES NOT FEAR SCISSORS.
Stecher's record. although mostly
one of brilliant performances. suffers
by comparison with Zbyszko's. Stcch-
er has been defeated at different
times by Caddock, Wladek, Zbyszko,
Olin and Lewis.
When he first perfected the body
scissors Stecher got his opponents in
jig time. but latterly, as they work ed
up methods OF defense. the task OF
getting his muscular legs locked re-
quired more time.
When he gets the hold, however. he
is just as dangerous, and any man
who can break away considers him
self lucky. Already zbyszko has had
wrestlers apply the scissors in much
the way Stccher does it. and the Pole
claims to have no fears as 20 the
result.
