LARGEST ATHLETE
FEATURED ON MAT
Pinetzki, 286, Among 10 to
Perform at Auditorium
Next Thursday.

= TILL packing em In, another
squad of 10 widely assorted
pachyderms will invade the
Washington Auditorium Thurs
day night, and with the bill containing
such figures as Leo Pinetzki, newest and
biggest man mountain; Ray Steele,
Rudy Dusek and Sander Szabo, a ban
ner show is sure to be forthcoming.
Although Steele and Szabo will ap-
pear in the feature matches, Steele
against Herbie Freeman and Szabo
against Jim Corrigan, the special pre-
liminary, bringing together Pinetzki and
Don De Laun, probably will attract as
much attention es either of the head
liners. Pinetzki, the Polish giant, will
be making his initial appearance in
Washington.
Has 8-Foot Reach.
He is acclaimed the largest athlete in
the world, standing 6 feet inches and
weighing 286 pounds. His reach is 96
inches or feet De Laun Is no in
fant, but the Canadian is not expected
to be able to throw the giant.
This match, along with the two fea-
ture matches, both to finish, will be
augmented by a semi-fnal between
Rudy Dusek and Cy Williams and a
preliminary between Doc Wilson and
Bennie GinSberg.
Women will be admitted free this

SHINES
IN BASKET LEAGUE
Victor in Both Starts in
Eastern Loop, Defeating
Columbia, Cornell.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, January 1l.-Results
N Of the first week Es Of play I.s1 seem
to assure Eastern Intercol-
legiate Basket Ball League fans
of a close, hard-fought race right down
to the wire.
Only three league games have been
played so far, but already the Columbia
Lions, champions for two years, have
met an unexpected defeat, while Prince
ton, a non-contender for several years,
is out in front with two straight vic
tories.
Three more games will be played this
week. Yale opens its league season to-
night at New Haven against the Dart
mouth Indians. On Saturday Prince
ton will play Dartmouth at Hanover and
Columbia will face Cornell at Ithaca.
On the basis Of results so far, Prince
ton seems to pack the most powerful
punch. The Tigers scored 35 points in
beating Columbia in an overtime match
Wednesday, then added another league
conquest to their string of seven vic
tories without a defeat on Saturday by
defeating Cornell.
Outside the league, Princeton, Penn
and Columbia all will be active this
week Penn, without a league game
during the week, will tackle Navy at
Annapolis on Wednesday and then will
seek to repel an invasion by Notre Dame
at Philadelphia Saturday. Princeton
will play Lehigh at Princeton on We'd
nesday, while Columbia is tuning up on
Cooper Union the same night.

THE SPORTLICHT
BY CRANTLAND RICE

perience, especially on grass, Vines has
the most wholesome game and bal
anced stroke equipment of any Ameri-
can amateur now at the nets He Is
not the wizard that Frances Horatius,
Henri Cochet, is. But with boyish en-
thusiasm. Vines bears down as the
mature Frenchman rarely does.
EMEMBER, though, that Doeg
n looked good at the close OF his
championship winning sea O. n,
and slipped when he had the title won.
Vines has more glittering trophies, me-
mentos of Longwood, Seabr1ght, New
port and other major tournaments,
than any one player, Tilden included,
ever won in a single campaign. His
stock should not see bear movement
in 1892. Not unless Frank Shields de-
cides to go after the glory that was
once prophesied for him, or Fred
Perry, Britains ace, improves in 1882
as he did in 1881.
Tommy Creavys station on the
throne OF professional golf in this
country represents perhaps the most
astounding upset of the year. A great
putter, he had the good fortune to be
playing well when the tourney was
dispatched to course brocaded with
perfect patches of green.
On longer course, with more un-
certain putting surfaces, Creavy has
his troubles. He extends the pro pan
Drama, which has been too much linn
tied to Farrell Armour, SaraZen, Die
gel, Hagen, Horton Smith, Mac Smith
and Ed Dudley.
But of the pros who emerged in
1881, Witty Cox looks better for a
steady pull-or a quick rise, too, for
that matter. The odds on Creavy and
Cox when the open starts at Fresh
Meadow next Summer will tell this
story.

Equalizing Foes Man Power
Urged as Foot Ball Reform

of the opposing team might have only
20 men to call on. As result he might
put on an even and an equal contest for
two periods, only to be finally battered
down by fresh recruits"
After all, foot ball Is supposed to be
something more than a test of man
power and numerical superiority. 1t
Is supposed to be battle in which the
main factors are skill, speed, strategy,
alertness, power and quick thinking.
In professional foot ball the squad
limit Is % men. The pro teams fire.
quently play twice a week. They may
know better how to protect themselves
and they may not always collide with
the crashing abandon of collegians, but
they play good, hard foot ball.
1t has been argued also that big
squads have to be used to protect tired
players and prevent injuries. This Is
only true to degree. A coach might
find 1t necessary to have IL substitutes
ready, but If it takes more than % men
to play an hour Of foot ball, with only
ii playing at one time, then the game
seems to be just trifle too annihilat-
ing in its present form.
Equalizing the numerical strength of
opposing teams at least would take
some of the unfairness out Of foot ball.

LOUISVILLE, KY, January 1.-THE
st. Louis Cardinals are out to win an
other pennant, and If their chances
Of repeating are enhanced by trading
Hack Wilson, he'll be traded
That's what Branch Hickey, vice
president and general manager of the
world champions, has to say about it.
He made the remark here during a lull
in the meeting of the minor leagues
committee of five.
Asking If the club was thinking Of
swapping off the husky player, Hickey
said:
THE answer to that is that we are
out to win the pennant. If we think
our chances of winning will be en-
hanced by trading him for some other
player who will be of more aid to us.
we'll trade him. If he convinces us
that he will aid us more than any other
player available, we certainly wiz not
trade him"
Discussing the $500 clause in the
contract offered Wilson this year, Hickey
said the Cardinals led no thought of
chespnesS when we sent Wilson that
kind Of contract We merely wanted
to protect ourselves and make better
ball player out Of him"

WAR Of NET CHIEFS
HAS ONLY STARTED
Insurgents, Beaten in East,
Will Fight to Depose
U. S. |. T. Head.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n JEW YORK, January Ii
N Holcombe Ward and the
/ Y "Old Guard" have won a
smashing victory in the
Eastern Lawn Tennis Association,
but not without a bitter struggle
that is certain to be continued at
New orleans when the national
association meets there next
month.
Supported vigorously by Louis j.
Carruthers, president of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association, Ward
defeated the "insurgent" incumbent, P.
Schuyler Van Bloem, for tho Eastern
Association presidency on Saturday
after a three-hour discussion in which
personalities were freely exchanged.
Wards victory was gained by a mar
gin of better ttan to l-9rooO votes
to 2,225. ,..--
But the end of the long controversy
is not yet. Already Col. Hugh Miller,
representing the Adirondack district,
renominated and reelected TO the
Executive Committee, has hred not
broadside at the national president ana
indicated his support would be thrown
against Carruthers at New OrleanS.
MILLER charged that "the Commit
Nl tee of One Hundred, of which Mr..
Carruthers was the moving spirit,
saw fit to circularize the entire coun-
try trying to make it appear that the
officers of the Eastern Association were
in a conspiracy to dethrone him as
president of the U. S. L. T. A"
1T was apparent from Mr.. CarrutherS
remarks at the meeting" Miller con-
tinued, that he would consider such a
result as a calamity. 1t Is doubtful
whether the tennis leaders OF the West,
South and Southwest would agree with
Mr.. Carruthers on this point. Person
ally think that a greater calamity has
happened in that the president OF the
United States Lawn Tennis Association
has stocoed toward politics in order to
gain control for himself and his group
of the largest block of votes that will be
voted at the coming annual meeting OF
the national association in New Or
leans.
Ut THINK those who attended the
meeting Saturday who are familiar
with the facts and who heard Mr..
Carruthers and others speak will agree
that he is hardly an ideal president OF
the association. Personally I shall in
struct the Representation Committee to
vote the votes Of my clubs at the annual
meeting in New Orleans in opposition
to Mr.. Carruthers."
Van Bloem's defeat at the Eastern
meeting was complete After he had
been beaten for the presidency, Louis
B. Daley, former president of the U. S.
L. T. A, asked that he CVan Bloem) be
named as the associations delegate to
the national convention. Carruthers,
however spoke in vigorous opposition,
and Maskell E. Fox of New York was
chosen instead.
