'HOK|E' SMITH.
CREEPS UP

"Hokie" Smith took long strides
last night toward snatching the
high average in the National Capt.
tai Duckpin League away from
Dutch" Newman, and incidentally
King Pin added plenty Of margin
to it's league lead by taking Far
mans Shoes over the hurdles for
six straight games.
"Hokie" fattened his already lat
1914 average with 392 set on his
first appearance and then ram
med the ducks for q 412. with
games of 1873, 125 and 149, his
fifth set over "4OO'' in this
league, a 1856 pace for the evening.
Clarke's 405, totaled with g. Ill,
1852 and 1872, aided "Hokie" in the
first set, and Brad Manley's 398
and Louie Pantos' 388 proved help
full in the second set-to, in which
King Pin registered 1922.
Getting 'em when they meant
something, Colonial Ice Cream
upset Lucky Strike thrice in an
other National Capital League
tussle, winning one decision by 6
pins and another by two. Chief"
Lovett contributed a 386 set for
the losers to no avail, while
whip" Litchfield's $50 topped
the winners.
Ollie Pacini's 387 set was only
good enough to save Temple from
a shut-out at the hand of Pet
worth in the District League.
Outstanding scores elsewhere
were Ed Nash's 383 set and 159
game in the Typothetae League,
Weisner's 355 in the Petroleum
League, Frank Donaldson's $50
game and 1853 set in the Odd
Fellows loop, Earl Steele's 375 set

RUTH AN D :
RUPERT

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
IA matter of $4,000 stands be-
tween the New York Yankees and
Babe Ruth.
Despite the thundered declara-
tions by the home-run slugger
that he is prepared to fight it out
all summer if his demand for
100000 for one year is refused,
the writer is in position to state
with fair authority that If Col.
Jacob Rupert offers him SIS, 900
for 1888, Ruth will sign without
further argument.
$4,000 Is Limit
Colonel Rupert, on the other
hand, firmly but quietly states
that $4,000 is the absolute limit
that he can afford to pay Ruth
in this troubled day and hour.
His most amazing and, at the
same time, the most crushing
argument is that the Yankees
wrote their final statement for
1882 in red ink.
I'm this day and hour $780,

of pitching strength by the ac-

The old dope kettle was very rudelykicked up the wrong alley last week, especially as far as the league l. ldefs and runners-up were concerned. The first upset of the evening was the three point pasting which Tom Dodds' 'Sleuths' handed to Jack Roberts crowd. Ray Lautenschlager's Cowboys" were the victims of upset number two when we Martyrs" took Raymond's combine into camp for three points. Although the Martyrs team total was quite discrepant from the sum which France refuses to pay your Uncle sam, 1t was enough to wander home with the bacon. The Potter Politicians" pulled into a tie for second place by virtue of the three point win over Jack Moriarty's "Bushmen." With only six more nights to go and the race getting more compact each week, it looks US though there are plenty of fire- works in the bundle to he touched off.
 One of the surprises of the night was the taking over of Ray Mills "Collar A s'' by Bill Lcroy's Cousins" Rays m came through with three nice games, but they were not enough, for the "Cousins" sure were on pin up- setting spree and were not to be denied. That 557 they chalked up in the middle game should inspire them to go out and do things.

SchOolbOys and Collegian COurteers in Twin Bill on New Eli Whitney Payne Gym Tonight

New Haven, Jan 24-The league leading University of Pennsylvania basketball team, which has gone through the season without Q de- feat thus far in any kind of com petition. meets Yale tonight in the Payne Whitney gymnasium at 8:30, following the game between the Yale Freshmen and the Nau- gatuck High School. Pennsylvania has defeated Princeton and Dart mouth. members of the Intercol- legiate league, and will, therefore be playing their third league game tonight. This will be Yale's second league game as Dartmouth open- ed here with a victory week ago Monday night.
 Coach Ripley of the Yale team has been forced to make a slight change in the lineup because of Miles injured knee, the star guard being relieved by Nikkel, who has been up forward all season, with Elliott taking Nikkels place in the front line. Pennsylvania has a team of veterans and has defeated Haver ford, Sworthmore, the Penn A. C., Penn State, Princeton, Dartmouth, Army and the Navy, and is regard ed as one of the strongest teams to wear the red and blue in several years. If Yale's revamped team can hold the Pennsylvania to tight score, one of the best games of the year in the Payne Whitney gymna- sium in bound to be seen. A fine crowd Is expected.
 Pennsylvania has eight lettermen returning from last years squad and Kellert, Pennypacker, Kozloff and Ludwig, members of the 1882 football squad. Kellcrt is the only three letterman in the university at the present time, having won his letter in football. basketball and baseball. Pennypacker is 8 mem- Der of the Iacross team and Wal ters, a substitute, Is q member or the Varsity baseball squad, while O'Donnell, Freeman and KoZloff played on the freshman baseball squad last year. Ludwig is a fine track man. so 1t will be seen that the Pennsylvanians boast of an ex- ceptionally fine group of all-around athletics. Yale may miss the serv- ices of Eggy Miles, a New Haven | boy, but with Nikkel in the back court and Saner and Elliott up forward. Yale's team should dis play strong front all along the | line.
 | The freshman game will start at 7:15 and will bring together two excellent young teams. NaugatucR
 has the usual strong outfit and the
 Freshmen have hung up Q gooc
