IL You care Tor romance,
here's one for the book. III it
be business romance that at
tracts your fancy, All the better.
Seldom has the world Of sports
contributed more fascinating
financial yarn than that which
has to do with Crystal Pennallt,
winner Of the Coffroth Handi-
cap.
When r. H. Hoffman's four
year-oId gailoped in ahead Of
Sundays field at Tia Jualla,
dragging down the $92, 900
purse, he paid his owner nine
times what he cost him last fall
and turned out to be one Of the
outstanding bargains in horse
flesh Of all times.
Bill Squires, Hoffman's agent,
purchased Crystal Pennant bare
III six months ago from the Pine
land Stable for $4,000. Up to
the time Crystal Pennant gal
Hoped off with the Coffroth, he
had won merely six overnight
races for total Of something
like $4,000. He had been con-
sidered Just fair handicap
horse, but now he takes his
place among the select list OF
horses which have earned $780,
600 or over.
Ordinarily it requires very
high grade of thoroughbred and
one which has outrun the best
on the turf to get into the
800, 900 group. But Crystal
Pennant made the grade Sun.
day by defeating a most or
binary field of runners and
thereby crept into a elias with
about the least effort which turf
history records.
Max Hirsch, his former
trainer, believes Crystal PEN
nant's fortunes at Tia Juana
were more or less influenced
by the scratching of Justice T.
because with the latter out of
the way, the field was mediocre
at best.
One of the most gratifieG
horsemen over the victory OF
Crystal Pennant was Hirsch,
who, could find joy in the vic.
tory of his former protege, de-
spite the fact he was induced 20
sell him for $4,000 in behalf
of Harry Diston, owner of the
Pineland Stable. In comment
ing on Crystal Pennant's sur
prising victory Sunday, Max
Hirsch said:
II thought he would go we'll
and felt he had a good chance
when Justice F. was scratched.
After that the field was not so
strong. He always has been a
lanky, overgrown horse, but he
loves to hear his feet rattle,
and / guess that fast track out
there was much in his Savor.
He is of different type ia
the usual run Of the Domino
line being more loosely coupled.
but he always was a steady
fellow and kept showing a little
improvement all the time.
Maybe he is better than ne
thought he was. Anyway,
was glad to hear he had won,''

 Such will be the brief life story
 of Charles Curtis, next March 4, ' when he becomes the presiding of

 which he has served for 20 years. After holding public office all T most continuously since the age
 of "A, the Kansas senator would
 begin at 69 to serve as vice-presi- dent
 The man who has worn the taga 50 long wrapped himself in an Indian blanket when he was a boy ! He was born ln log cabin on the Kaw reservation in Kansas Janu- ary 25, 1860. His birthplace was on the site of Topeka and his birth preceded by year the admission of Kansas into the union.
 His great-great grandfather had been Chief White Plume of the Kaws, who was the grandson of Chief Pawhuska of the Osages. His mother was Ellen Pappan, one fourth Indian and three-fourths French, and his father was Capt. Orren Curtis, Yankee of Puritan stock.
 While Captain Curtis was away. fighting for the union, his wife died and their three-year- son remained on the Raw reservation \ with his Indian grandmother.
 When eight years old, the boy was the hero of spectacular deed that perhaps saved many Kaws sfrom scalping by the lood-thirsty Cheyennes, but took him away from his mothers peopla. The Cheyennes went on the warpath in 1868, vowing to destroy all white |, settlers and all Indians friendly to | the palefaces. They surrounded | the Raw reservation, which was then near Council Grove, Kas., and | the beseiged Indians selected thcI great- -great-grandson of Chief White Plume to try to slip past 'the Cheyennes with a message to white soldiers stationed at Topeka.
 The son of the Union army off | cer was successful with the only military mission of his life and the Kaws were rescued. But the bay remained in Topeka with his fath- CT and white grandmother. He sold apples and peanuts at rail- load station and attended school for a few months in the winters. |, When he was IA he heard that the Kaws were to be moved again, this time from the state named after the tribe to Indian territcry, now Oklahoma. He hurried back to his grandmother Pappan, and told her he would accompany her to the new home in the direction of the monday sun.
 But the French-Indian womanl told her grandson the future of red men was as uncertain as their present was unhappy, and she urged him to stay with his fathers people.

G.U.MEETS FOES
ON SOF I FIELD

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. /. - The
Georgetown and Detroit elevens will
battle in a miniature sea this after
noon as recent rains have converted
the field in the Detroit University
Stadium into a quagmire. An all
day drizzie yesterday thoroughly
drenched the field and the forecast is
for continued rain today.
The adverse playing conditions. as
well as weather conditions, are con-
ceded to favor the Hilltoppers, as
they are lighter. However. George
town is entering the game without
the services of Capt. Jerry Carroll,
guard; Ralph Duplin, quarterback,
and Johnny Bozek, halfback.
Detroit, one of the few unbeaten
and united elevens in the country,
sees it's great chance to add lnster to
its 1928 string by a decisive triumph
over the Georgetowners.

STAKE JJNBEAT TEN RECORD AGAINST COB
|1TODAYS
pORTOR AL
BYN KIRK MILLER

Georgetown University holds
one title over which there can
be no dispute, regardless Of
defeat or victory III Detroit to-
day. It IS the broken leg title
of not only the East, but
doubtless the entire nation.
Three Of the Blue and Gray
regulars didn't survive for the
final contest Of the year on
account Of fractured underpin-
ming and therein is record
that hasn't come to our atten-
ton az having been equaled by
any other major team Of the foot
ball armament. Besides, two
freshmen were incapacitated By
the same misfortune before the
season was hardly under way,
bringing the broken leg total
at Georgetown up to five. Beat
that IL you can and il you
can't beat it, then equal it!
Captain Jerry Carroll, stellar
guard, was the first to sue
cumb, his casualty coming in
the Carnegie Tech game which
was played at Albany, Noven1-
berS 10. Bill Holloway, substi-
tute varsity end, later fell vic
tim to the same injury and
Ralph Duplin regular quarter
back, who was toppled in the
Fordham game, completes the
trinity Of fractured lower limbs
which is sure to prove a hands
cap for Lou Little in his efforts
against the University of Detroit
today. Incidentally, if anyone
wants this questionable broken
leg championship next year,
Little will yield it unbe-
grudgingly.
According to reports from
the New York University CAM
pus, the chagrin following the
Oregon Aggies' victory was 50
thick you could cut it with A.
knife. So far the writers in
Gotham have made no refer
ence to the ball being wet nor
the ground a quagmire.
You can count the number of
undefeated and united teams in
the country today on the
fingers and thumb Of either
hand. Florida, Boston College,
Detroit, Georgia Tech and
Emory Henry make up the crop.
Boston College plays Holy Cross
today and this game will be
The Washington times., 1928-12-01

no walk.away for either. That
goes for the Detroit George
town game as we'll. OF the
undefeated teams in the coun-
try, Emory-Henry has the best
defensive record, but IL points
having been scored against III,
while Detroit follows, eight
opponents having scored but "A
points against the Titars.
Should Army beat Stanford
today and Georgetown salt
down Detroit, the only way in
which to put the football season
away IN the moths without fear
Of the Eastern title being dis
puted would be for Army to
come here and play Georgetown
for the works. /" 1t is known
ViIIanova would like to play
Georgetown in Philadelphia,
but Coach Little would not
consider that offer until after
todayhe being the type Of
coach who concentrates on one
game at 4 time. Not 3 bad
idea, as his five years at the
Hilltop testify!
Football practically gets Oft
the air today and next week
the baseball nnoguls will take
charge Of the broadcasting.
The minor league meeting
which President Griffith and
Walter johnson will attend,
gets under way on the fifth
at Toronto and the majors 60
into concIave at Chicago on
the eleventh. You may expect
some bartering to come out Of
those meetings. Brooklyn il
wild to get Glenn Wright off
the Pirates, but so far Barney
Dreyfuss hasn't nibbled at
WiIbert Robinson's hints.
Cleveland plainly has Pitcher
George Uhle on the market
with both New York and Phila-
delphia interested spectators.
Billy Evans and Roger Peckin-
paugh are holding UhIe high
and would probably trade the
Yanks even for Gehrig or
Philadelphia for Rommel and
Foxx. Also there has been
some pickering for UhIe BY
the White Sox, Cleveland being
sweet on Hunnefield, second
baseman and Bib Falk, hard
hitting outfielder, while Chicago
would be agreeable if young
Carl Lind. Indian second base-
man were thrown in. No
chance!
