Right from the crack of the first
gun the high school basketball series
developed complications when Bust,
ness won from Western, 81 to 10,
and Eastern accomplished a SIMILAR
feat at the expense of Central by a
score of "a to 10. Business appeared
in much better shape than in its
last appearance against Western
and the crowded. galleries expressed
surprise at the performance OF the
Stenogra pliers.
Business defense frightened in the
last quarter and Western had very
few clear shots for the basket.
Greenwood scored q goal that sent
the Stenographers' total to 81, with
Frisby managing to count two from
he freedom line. With only ten
seconds to play left, Western had
but one opportunity to score and
This failed.
Both games were closely contested,
he result being in doubt until the
last. Eastern generally oItclassed
the Mt. Pleasant team.
The Capitol Hill lads passed swiftly
and accurately, shot only when with
in reasonable distance, and presented
a defense that completely baffled
Central throughout. Eastern played
a great game. taking the lead at the
start and holding it until the end.
On the other hand, Central fought
desperately to forge ahead Of it's CD

K|VIAT
To STARTLE
ADMIRERS
Comeback" Next Month Will
Be Watched All Over
Country.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-Judging
from the form he has been show.
ing in training during the past few
days, Abel Kiviat, who in his prime
won national championship titles
at all distances from 600 yards on
the track to six miles cross country
is going to surprise even his most
ardent admirers by his fine run
ming in his comeback attempt al
the WiIco A A. gams 5 in the
Thirteenth Regiment arrnory on
February 10.
There are many men well in,
formed on track athletics who
still maintain that Kiviat will never
as he did prior TO 1915, when he
hung up his running shoes. That
may be true, but we believe he
will run fast enough to show the
way to many CT the local runners
of today who are winning prizes
and championships quite regularly,
He has been training for two
months and has | cen confirming
himself to long work in order to
improve his strength and stamina.
However, on Tuesday evening at
the Seventyfirst Regiment Armory
he ran a quarter mile without pace
In 81 seconds and few minutes
later came back and reeled off
another in "a seconds
In the. second quarter he ac-
cepted pace for $50 yards from one
of the athletes training on the
track, and then he cut loose a
sprint that caused some of the
dinners who witnessed the per-
Torrance to remark that he looks
as good now as he did when he
was in his prime ten years ago.
A couple of weeks ago Kiviat
ran two miles with William Ritola,
of the Finnish American A. c., the
present national ten-mile and cross
country champion, and he had no
trouble in holding him, which
shows that he has both strength
and speed, and with three full
weeks more of training he will be
ready to run 5000 meters or the
half mile fast enough to be con
tender in the fastest company.
He will decide next week whether
he will run in the Olympic 5000
meter special or the metropolitan
half-mile championship at the Wilco
games.

CUP To
REMAIN IN
AMERICA
Captain E. r. Carter Believes
United States Amateurs
Are Stronger.
By JAMES FRANCIS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-In spite
of the fact that the British team
will be strengthened considerably
and it will have conditions and turf
to it's taste, the Walker Cup, emf
blematical of golf team supremacy,
will remain in America for another
year.
This is the opinion expressed by
Capt. q. +. Carter, a member OF the
1922 British team, who is in this
country for the purpose of making
connections with a New York BUSH
ness house. He was positive in his
opinion that the ranks of American
amateur golfers are entirely too
strong for any team the. British
might summon.
The matches will be played in
England this year and this not
only means that e. w. Holderness,
winner of the 1922 British amateur
title. will be available, but that
turf and friendly course will ia
vor the English. Cyril Tolley and
Roger Wethered, foremost British
amateurs, are also expected to play,
Captain Carter said. and it is prob
able. he added, that c. v. l.. Hoo
man, G. c. Aylmer, w. B. Torrance,
w. Willis Mackenzie, Robert Harris
and Capt. Angus Hambro will COM
plete the team. This would mean
that Bernard Darwin, who substi-
tuted for the ailing Harris last
year, will be dropped. John Caven,
runner-up in the British champion
ship last year, may be unable 10
obtain sufficient leave of absence
from his employers to play in the
match, Captain Carter declared
The team named is a particularly
strong one. and it is hardly credible
that Captain Carter can consist

lief that America will be able to

PURSES FOR
GOLF PLAY
Prizes Elevate and ExaIt
Amateurs to Games
Future, Says Behr.

Max Behr, who was runner-up 10
Jerome TraVers for the national
amateur golf title in 1908, takes
exception to the attitude of the u.
S. G.. A. on the large purses which
are being paid for professional
tournaments.
He says: 1.-The large purses that
are now being given to attract
exhibitions of skill by the great
masters of golf, far fr0m being an
unhealthy sign or evolution of pro-
fessionaI golf, are the looking glass
I'm which may be seen the en-.
thusiastic development of amateur
golf. All who practice the art in
an amateur fashion, who come Ia
learn a bit of its technique. wish
to- see the perfection of that art
I'm practice Such exhibitions of golf
elevate and exalt the student to
the possibilities of the game and
thereby tend to place amateur golf
upon a higher plane. And as far
as the / size of the purses goes
these must regulate themselves ac
cording to the law Of supply and
demand"

NON DRAFT ADVOCATES
TRY TO BRIDGE RULE

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-Tour ex-
ecutives of non-draft league clubs
are in New York attempting to N!
stitute some feasible plan whereby
they can obtain players from the
local major league clubs and still
live up to their attitude on the draft
issue. The men in question are
William c. Smith, of the Indianapolis
club; Roger Bresnahan, of Toledo;
Billy Gilbert, recently appointed
manager of the Denver club, and
Dan HOwley. of Toronto.
These managers are suffering
from severe absence of reserved
players for the approaching season.
They cannot accept any from the
overloaded majors, unless they do so
with the understanding that the
man will be subject to the draft.
Their leagues forbid this. All are
hoping for change in the attitude
Of their organizations.

One Fools Idea.

n ECENTLY it was announced
in Boston that Harry Frazee
would buy Joe Boley, the
Baltimore shortstop. 1t brought
instant denial from Jack Dunn,
though denials are the usual
thing in baseball.
But there is this to be added.
When New York sport writers
asked Frazee about the yarn he
laughed and replied, "Well,
have to keep my Boston writer's
satisfied, y'know. It's winter and
they need something for their
columns"
Merely FOOLS idea. The sport
pages could get along If base
ball were banished from the land
by a ninteenth amendment to the
lettering Constitution, make no
mistake about that. AS it is the
crush for space is becoming more
and more noticeable as the years
go on. Golf right now is de-
manding almost as much space
as baseball has been getting.
What Frazee is doing is lay
ing the foundation for absolute
unbelief in his word. If Boston
sport writer's in the future take
all he says with many pounds
of salt, he will have only himself
to blame.

Hargrave comes to the Griff-
men as a catcher, but for New
Haven last season he performed
in nine games at second base and
nine more in right field. This
was probably because Of his speed
on the hoof and for his strong
hitting. His batting average for
the season was .321. Minor league

they have.

Same for Two More.

" WO more young Griffmen
showed themselves able to
hold down more than one lob
last season. Ossie Bluege and Bill
Conroy are the lads, both being
with the Minneapolis Millers.
Bluege showed the need of
plenty of work while with the
Griffs, and so was sent I'D to
Pongo Joe Cantillon to get the
work. He got into thirty-tIlree
games at third base and eleven
more at shortstop. Though a bit
unsteady, a common failing in n
young infielder, Bluege startled
American Associations by his
speed and superior throwing.
Bill Conroy. who will be given

He's a Handy Lad,

"T1LLlAM MCKINLEY is a
w handy lad to have around
ball club. He was in
fifty-nine games behind the bat
for New Haven last year. In
nine he cavorted in the garden,
and in nine more he held down
second base. He went to bat as a
pinch hitter in thirty-eight games.
To amass a batting average of
.321 under the conditions argues
for not little ability.
Godfrey Brogan, the Charles
ton half-pint pitcher coming to the
Griffmen for trial at Tampa, is
another handy lad who doubles in
brass. He took part in thirty five
games on the mound for Charles
ton and was an outfielder in
eleven more.
Like Hargrave, who may vet
be teamed UP with him as a
Washington battery, Brogan
showed himself a swatter in the
Sally League. AS a batsman. he
horned into sixty-four box scores
and hung up a batting average of
.346. Out of his forty-eight hits
six were doubles and one a triple.
He has yet to make a home run.
