If ever, been without . winning team
in foot ball, base ball or basket ball,
and in a number Of instances Charles
has started from scratch in the max
ing Of them. We have in mind par
ticularly the Petworth Wonders, who,
though Of high school age, cut DASH
ing figure In the unlimited class ranks
Of the Independent base ball series Of
decade back-a team that Greer re-
cruited from scholastic ranks and one
that first marked him as successful
leader.
THE Skinker team seemed plumb out
i OF luck when Sweeney, Streeks
and Goldblatt left Such basket
ball players are not easily replaced. But
Bernie Peacock, who has the Eagles in
tow, is not easily discouraged. Bernie,
who, by the way, Is one of the golfing
Peacocks of Montgomery County, and
the loyal Skinkers set about patching
their ranks and looking forward to the
time when they'd do battle with the
Vics.
That moment is near at hand The
series that opens Sunday would be an
attraction without its intriguing back
ground. A championship will be at
stake and judged on their records the
rivals are evenly matched. The Eagles
were highly successful in filling the
gaps left by Sweeney. probably the best
independent basket ball player in the
city, Streeks ad Goldblatt. Thev have
lost only one game and that to the
crack Passon quint of Philadelphia,
which they defeated in a return en-
gagement. The Vics have lost only two
games and one of these to the famous
Hawaiians, whose schedule has taken
them to every section of the country.
The other was a one-point defeat by
the Columbia Turner's of Philadelphia
MOST Of the players on both teams

stars. Two varsity captains of

have been turned loose in
the armory next Sunday at 3
o'clock, when the Skinker Eagles
and Vic Sport Shop teams clash
in the opening game of series
of five for the District semi-pro
basket ball championship.
Thru of the Vics' best players
last year wore the Skinker colors,
and those who remained loyal to
the old standard when the Vics
raided the Eagle ranks never took
kindly to what they regarded as
a sort of desertion.
Joe Sweeney, Dick Streeks and Jake
Goldblatt, all top-notch basketers, were
the lads who went over to the opposi-
tion, but, If We may accept their YER

OMETHING unique in the
- way of billiards will be
~ offered for devotees of
that game tonight and
tomorrow, when Charlie Peter
son and Isidros Ribas stage
three of the series of matches
on a tour that is to wind up at
Havana.
Peterson for years has been
so far in front of all other trick
shot exponents that he has
been compelled practically to
do a solo whenever he appeared,
but with the importation from
Spain of Ribas, the Yankee cue
wielder has found some one
really capable Of testing his
mettle.
According to George T. Cox,
who is looking after arrange
mentS for their exhibitions
here, the results of their meet
ings to date prove that Ribas
and Peterson are very evenly
matched, especially in view of
the fact that under the rules
of competition employed each
alternately designateS the type
of shot to be eSsayed.
Billiard matches in the past
never have drawn well in the
Capital, even where the top
notchers contested with title
angles involved, for the simple
reason that billiards in itself Is
too Stodgy for all save the
blown in the bottle addicts.
The ivory pyrotechnics to be
set off in this instance, how
ever, where the most difficult
and spectacular shots ever
evolved will be executed on a
competitive basis by two OF
the worlds foremoct exponentS
should prove a potent lure.
We will be surprised If

Doc White, D. C.. School Sports
Boss and EXC. i. Box Star, Was
The Grove of His Day in Majors

ton that he won fame For IL years
G. Harris White was to his club what
Ed Plank was to the AS and what Nap
Rucker was to the Brooklyn club.
1t was a galaxy Of brilliant southpaw
hurlers the game had during the Pc
riod between 1902 until 1912. Waddell,
Plank. Rucker, Marquard, Tannehill,
Pfeister, Killian, Sievers, Altrock,
Weimer, Liefleld and George Wiltse
were going their best, but White gained
his fame right alongside of these star
left-handers.
~ RISTLING all over with science.
* skill, good judgement, pluck and
l. cool = Medicines, G. Harris
White was the ideal left-handed
hurler He figured In . larger per-
centage Of close-score and sensational
games than any other hurler Of his
time. In his record can be found IS Of
these close-score, nerve-racking exhibi-
tions-games that were decided by l
run, and all were scores of 2 to / or
less; in fact. 26 Of them were 1-to-0
games. and Doc came through q win
ner in is of these classics. This work
clearly demonstrated the remarkable
nerve and ability he had when under
great pressure
In shutting out the opposing teams
White was an expert. He blanked his
opponents 54 times in the 400 games he
hurled, which places his name seventh
on the list of hurlers who made un-
usual records in this line since the
game began.
1t was in 1904 that Doc White created
a record in hurting successive shut-out
games that stands out as the greatest
feat of its kind ever chronicled in base
ball history. No hurler ever equalled it.
Seven hurlers in the history Of the
game, which is wonderful control for a
successive shut-out games, but this
slender dentist outstepped them all.
September IL, 1904, White blanked
the Cleveland team, then successive
ly he met and blanked the st. Louis,
Detroit. Athletics and the New York
clubs. Five complete games, forty
five innings. Two Of the games were
1-to-0 classics and all were tight
score battles.
In 1905 G. Harris White pitched 27
games and only 33 runs were scored
off his southpaw benders. In no game
did a team score more than runs.
In 1907 he pitched 43 games and al
lowed 40 matsmen free transportation
to first base. He had a run Of 55
consecutive innings in which he didn't
issue pass. This is the record for all
time in this line His record for his
entire career in the big show in this
line is an average of 1.49 passes q
game which Is wonderful control for q
left-hander.
Doc White possessed remarkable
speed for lightweight. He was fairly
tall, but slender. He had great staying
power. May 10 and 13, 1909, he
pitched two training games against
the washington team. The first, an
thinning affair, he won 10. The
next game stretched out II innings to
a 1-to-1 finish.

bidding tactics slightly, and 1t puts an
additional premium on accurate bid
ding.
It is now profitable at times to make
what is known as q sacrifice bid
against even a less-than-game con-
tract. For example, If your opponents
have bid three hearts and you feel
sure that they can make their con-
tract, you know that they will receive
a score of 100 points.
If you are not vulnerable, or If you
are vulnerable and don't believe that
your opponents will double, even
though you definitely know that you
cannot make three spades, but can
make two, it now pays you to bid the
three spades.
If you go down, your minus score
will be. less than 100 points. For ex-
ample, If you go down one trick not
vulnerable undoubled, you would be
minus only SO points, and your op-
ponents would be plus only so points;
therefore you would win the hand by

NEW YORK, March T. The
Shandon FARMS Burning Blaze is
the chief hope of the west for the
Kentucky Derby. This squat, shaggy
chestnut son of Big Blaze and Mex
lean Tea ranks second to Top Flight
as a juvenile money winner last
year with earnings of $93, 625.
AS a 2-year-old, Burning Blaze
was an upgainly fellow, being solid
chestnut in color with no discernible
markings. He has an awkward
stride, but nevertheless has a high
order of speed, particularly over
sprint distances.
The excellent record of Burning
Blaze in 1881 affords ample justifi-
cation for his being one of the
choices at odds of 20 to l in win
ter book betting on the Derby. Vic
torious in half of his twelve starts,
he also finished second twice and
was once third.
Burning Biaze's first major stake
success was in the six furlong Post
and Paddock stakes at Arlington. He
beat MORTAR by nose in that $25,-
600 added fixture, while such good
ones at Liberty Limited, Phantom
Legion, Osculator and Tick On
finished in the rear.
