C. u. '27 Five Best, Says Rice
Hughes Choice of d. c. College Teams Is One Fred
Starred With at Georgetown.

that team than in the one I played
with" says Rice.
II think the next best team was
the G. q. bunch of 1924. Ed Lynch,
James Lawler, Dutch Eberts, Jimmy
Breslin and John Fitzgerald played
on that team. Georgetown of 1908
ranks third in my estimation" Rice
adds. 4
Hughes agrees with Rice in only
one respect-that Of placing the 1924
G. u. team second. The Hoyas of
1908 rank No. with Shorty and
the Foley q Co. club third.
What sweet team that old
Georgetown gang was" reminisces
Shorty. "They opened the season
by beating William and Mary, 81 to
8. That's really beating q team"
But that old Hoya team didn't
stop there. Virginia also bowed. o
TO a; Maryland, to SO, and Co
! lumbia. Is to %.
Riceis greatest team was intact
when the players were freshmen
and sophomores. In its second year
at G. u. 1t won Is out Of 20 games.
Many contend that had not Skater
ODonnen left school and thereby
broke up that combination of him
self and Long as forwards; Carney,
center, and Foley and Harvey,
guards, the 1927 Cardinal team, in
its last two years, would have proved
one Of the best in the East.
Hughes statement as to the great
est District college player will find
few dissenting. Rice's District rec
ord Of 80 ned goals in one game
(Corcoran Cadets VS.. Naval Battal-
ion) still stands. His IS points lie,
the Cadets to an e6-to-7 victory.
While SO field goals marked his
high-scoring peak, the former G. U.
coach and center of the 1908 Hoyas
frequently scored as many as 10 or
20 goals in one game.
But as for the greatest District
college quint, there appears mo
sale" as to Hughes and Rice's rank
tngs, unless they are made on the
IS for first, 3 for second and for
third" basis. In this case c. U. Of
1924 is the best, with q 6-point
total.

lands DICTATORSHIP
CHALLENGED IN SUIT
Milwaukee Club Seeks Showdown
in Base Ball Cars Handling !.
Of Bennett Case.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. February 6.-Kenesaw
Mountain Lands side Of the question
in an injunction suit brought by the
Milwaukee Club of the American
Association was due today for presenta-
ton in the court of Federal Judge
Lindley-the same court in which
Lands once handed down decisions.
The case is listed as q petition for
injunction to restrain Lands, as COM
missioner of base ball, from preventing
the st. Louis Club OF the American
League in its efforts to send Outfelder
Fred Bennett to the Milwaukee Ameri-
can Association Club, st. Louis
farm"
1t is considered, however, as chal-
lenge to Lands dictatorship over
organized base ball.
Bennett, purchased from Tulsa Of the
Western League by the Browns, later
was sent back to Tulsa, also affiliated
with the st. Louis organization, and
still later to Milwaukee. He was
ordered to report to st. Louis last sea-
son, but Lands ordered that he remain
with the Brewers on the ground that
the frequent transfer of the player con-
stituted a violation of the maior-nlinor
agreement.
Bennett, at the same time, asked to
be made free agent, and sought an In
junction preventing his transfer to st.
Louis.
Yesterdays hearing was devoted to
listening to the case Of the plaintiff,
during which officials of the milwaukee,
and St.. Louis Clubs asserted the COM
missioner had overstepped his au-
thority by interfering with the move
ments of the player.
Lands did not appear in court, but
was represented by Attorney George
Miller and his secretary, L. L. O'Connor.

AA CIRCUIT ADOPTS
MAJOR $3.50 PLAN
Move Seen as Great Aid in
Solving Money Problem
of Minor Loop.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.
THE international League in
changing It's form of adj
i n1inistration and conduct

TIME international League In
changing It's form of adj
i nlinistration and conduct
of, its internal affairs at its
annual meeting of directors dem
onstrated that it is more and more
adapting itself to major league
ideas.
The minor leagues as q whole never
have reconciled themselves thoroughly
to what is known as the $3.50 major
league policy in the division Of the gate
receipts. If the populations Of cities
continue to longest they may do 50
eventually.
It was some time before the major
leagues brought this reform about and
it saved them in time when salvation
was very much needed. Another season
or two Of the guarantee plan Of the
major leagues and they would have
been wrecked. If not that, they would
certainly have divided, the richer
Eastern clubs going by themselves and
the Western clubs forming another
major league.
More Equitable Adjustment.
The theory of the $3.50 division was
more equitable adjustment of gate
receipts to apply to conditions. In the
early days of the National League the
Cleveland club might go to New York
and play to a $4,000 gate in three or
four games, for which it would receive
only the guarantee of $3.50 per game
This meant that every trip away from
home was possible losing venture for
the visiting club
Of course, when the New York club
played in Cleveland it received the
same guarantee for each game, but
New York could well afford TO accept
that guarantee when its share Of re-
ceipts on its own grounds might be
$4,000 with a deduction Of $3.50 or
81 900 for visiting clubs.
On the other hand, when New York
played in Cleveland 1t might be paid
$3.50 or $1,000, while the receipts Of
the Cleveland Club for the same num-
Der of games would be $4,000 as against
the $4,000 that New York earned on
its home ground.
This manner of conducting base ball
made 1t impossible for the smaller clubs
to think of paying salaries as high as
those paid by the Weather clubs When
the $3.50 division was voted the smaller
clubs of the major league raised the
pay Of their players at once.
Might Not Help All.
Perhaps not all minor leagues could
op rate ON a $3.50 division of gate re-

GROVE WINS ANOTHER

PHILADELPHIA, February CP).--
Robert Moses Gefty) Grove, one Of
Connie Mack's pitching aces, won an
other battle yesterday, but it was not
on the ball field.
Lefty was a defendant in a $1,000
damage suit brought by r. Green An
nan of Cumberland, Md, who charged
that Grove was responsible for the loss
of one of his eyes in a cunning trip
about 100 miles south of Cumberland
in November, 1923.
After hearing witnesses, the Jury de-
liberated less than two hours and
brought in q verdict for Grove.

ceipts. There are some enthusiastic
but rather small towns in minor leagues
whose gross receipts do not amount to
much. Yet In time it is possible that
the higher classed minors win adopt
tons are out Of proportion to the
receipts.
The international League Is one class
AA organization that has advanced
policies With its splendid stand capacity,
it is the best equipped minor league in
base ball and its circuit is fair and well
established. The smallest city is Read
ing, Pa, and it Is an enthusiastic city
when it has good base ball. The Inter
national may yet outstrip the American
Association.

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, most, if not all, Of
your dandruf viii be gone, and two
or three more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruf you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop
instantly and your hair will be
