out for the contest found them
selves stranded and frost bitten, be-
numbed and stiffened by the breath
of the mountain ice king.
That represents a true picture Of
Tonopah on that memorable day
when popular Hebrew boy, born
and bred in Canada, but whose pop
ularity as a fighter was gained by
his great battles in and near Chi
cago, faced the clever Baltimore
Negro in a titular contest. The boy
who exchanged. blows with the
Negro wizard that day now is living
in San Francisco, where he is en-
gagged in business, and his name, Kid
Herman, occupies prominent niche
in the fistic hall of fame.
That Hebrew lad put up great
fight, but found his master in the
clever Baltimorean. 1t was great
sight, a great fight and it put
Tonopah on the map.

~ ICHMOND, Va, February 20
- Maryland's Southern Confer
Y ence tournament engagement
with South Carolina's S undefeat-
ed gamecocks Friday night will offer
spectators a dual attraction-the loops
leading basket ball team and the
leagues leading scorer.
Rufus Vincent, elongated Maryland
center whose craftsmanship has set
the pace in the Old Liners claim to
second place in conference standing,
scored II points in his only start last
week to boost his total to 126 tallies.
Far outdistanced in second and third
places, Joe Sawyers of Washington and
Lee and Bus Hall, Virginia Poly flash,
with 103 and 102 points, respectively,
were conceded hardly an outside chance
of overtaking the fast-stepping Mary
lander. Each will participate in game
Tuesday, but will need more than a
score of points to pull up on even terms
with Vincent.
A IDING materially in Maryland's VIC
"A tory squirt of four loop games in a
row, Vincent hit the target at a
l6-point-a game average in leading the
Old Liners to victories over North Caro-
lima, Virginia, Washington and Lee and
Western Maryland. His mark of 26
points in single game stands as the
seasons record.
Two other participants in the Old
Liners winning streak, Snyder and
Chase, boosted their totals to "a and
62 to move up among the 13 loop play
ers who have scored more than 90
points in conference games
Pitted against Vincent Friday night
will be Dana Henderson, a member of
the Texas High School team that
twice won the national championship.
Another Gamecock stalwart, Benny
Tompkins, rang up the remarkable to-
tai of As points in three conference
games, climaxing the performance
with 10 tallies Saturday night in
South Carolina's 46to-23 decision over
Duke.
VITHILE first-place honors were con-
w sidered secure, Sawyers and Hall
will end their nip-and-tuck battle
for second position Tuesday night
when Washington and Lee and Virginia
clash at Lexington, while Virginia Poly
and v. M. I. are fighting 1t out at
Blacksburg.
The Gamecocks have Tuesday night
engagement with Clemson's Tigers.

AYT0N, GOLF PRO, DEAD

Biltmore Links Star.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., February 20 (P).
George Ayton, golf professional at the
Biltmore Forest Country Club for the
past eight years, died last night of
pneumonia.
A native of Scotland, Ayton was
known to thousands of golfers in the
United States and Canada. He won the
Western open championship of Canada
in 1920.
During his career as a professional
golfer he served clubs at Carlsbad
Germany Vienna. St. Andrews, Scot

FOR NEW YORK TILT
Zahn May Not Play Against
C. C. N. Y, but Burgess
Is Ready for Battle.

w WHILE they have suffered
M several strokes of Ill fortune,
v v George washington Uni
versity's basketers look
eagerly to the New York charity basket
ball carnival schedule Wednesday in
Madison Square Garden, where they
will come to grips with what is gen.
orally regarded the best college five in
the East, City College of New York.
1t is unlikely that Capt Arthur
(Otts) Zahn will take his place on the
floor due to a broken ncse, and the
team has lost by ineligibility the high
scoring Wick Parrack, but despite
these reverses the Colonials to man
express confidence in their ability to
make a good showing and possibly to
take fall out of the great crew of
players gathered by Coach Nat Hol-
man. former professional star.
City College of New York has lost
only one game this season, that to the
strong st. Johns five of Brooklyn,
which nosed out George Washington
here last month, 36-35, in an overtime
contest. Since that beating City Col
lege has rushed to the forefront in
eastern college basket ball circles,
having achieved noteworthy victory
last Saturday night by trouncing
Temple University, previous conqueror
of ST. Johns.
The Colonials are fully aware of the
size of the task that confronts them
in the big New York tourney which is
being staged to aid the unemployed.
They are prepared to counter G. G..
N. Y.'s fast-passing attack with their
own fast-breaking attack. And they
have yet to be held under 80 points per
game this season. BY running up a
1922 score on st. Johns of Annapolis
last Saturday the Colonials boosted
their season pointS-per-game average
to the amazing figures of 48.77. Their
opponents have averaged 2983 points
per game.
WHETHER Zahn will return to ac-
w ton for the game Wednesday
night will not be determined until
tomorrow and possibly not until game
time. His presence in the lineup con-
tributes greatly to the smoothness of
G.. WIS offense, and from a defensive
standpoint his efforts are regarded
almost invaluable.
II Zahn fails to perform, the Colonials
will particularly miss his direction of
scoring plays that has figured prom
inently in their success this season.
But there would remain Forrest Burgess,
another veteran and a smart basket ball
player, who perhaps might offset Zahn's
loss in this respect. Burgess is COM
pleting his third year of varsity COM
petition.
Incidentally, Burgess was in the
throes of a slump for a week prior to
the recent st. Johns game, but he dis
played unmistakable signs of swapping
out of it in that engagement. He
scored 8 points to bring his total for
the year up to 164 and assisted ma
terially in the scoring by his team
mates.
In three years, during which he has
played in 46 games for George WASH
ington. Burgess has amassed the i'm
pressive total of SGT points. He scored
1877 points two years ago and counted
166 last Winter. His average for the
entire period is 1923 points per game.
He averaged 1921 points season before
last and 11.07 last season.

- ENSATIONAL stories Of crooked
ness on the part of certain White
~ sox players in the 1919 world
series against the Cincinnati Reds
had piled up during the six days of
investigation by the grand jury in Sep
tember. 1920, almost year after the
series had been played.
The White Sox team had just return
ed from playing a series in Cleveland.
where they had dropped three games to
the Indians, a few days after winning
three in a row from the Yankees, and
this unusual result had tossed the pen
nant to the Cleveland club and caused
the square players on the Sox team
to accuse their suspected mates OF de-
liberately Throwing" the games to the
Indians because they had been betting
on Cleveland to win the flag.
In the midst of the grand jury inves-
tigation and having five open dates be-
fore they were scheduled to wind up
the season with three games in st.
Louis, the suspected Sox players couldn't
enjoy those off days with the papers
filled with stories that cast dark clouds
over their names.
They stood up under the attack until
the night of September 81, when a
bombshell in Philadelphia shattered
them. Jimmy Isaminger, Philadelphia
base ball writer, put story on the
telegraph wires that night, a long inter-
view with Billy Maharg, ex-prize fight
er, that rang with truth from start to
finish, implicated all the suspected Sox
players and named names. The story
also brought in the name of Bill Burns,
former left-handed pitcher for WASH
ington, Chicago and other teams.
Two Original Conspirators.
AHAHARG declared he and Burns
lVl thought up the conspiracy to fix"
the world series between the Sox
and Cincinnati and that the first plan
was arranged between them and Eddie
Cicotte, Sox pitching ace.
The fixed" Sox players were to re-
ceive 100000.
They we're to throw the first, second
and final games.
Maharg and Burns were to get gam
blers to back the plot and advance the
money.
These plans were agreed upon in sew
eral meetings between Sox players and
Maharg and Burns when the SoX were
in New York on their last Eastern trip,
only q week or so before the world
series was to start and just after it was
certain Chicago and Cincinnati were to
be the contenders for the pennant.
Maharg went to his home in Philadel-
phia and took the matter up with
gamblers there. 1t was too big propo-
sition for them and they turned it down,
recommending he take it up with Roth
stein in New York. Maharg then saw
Rothstein, but the latter also turned 1t
down. So he gave 1t up and went home
Then he got the following telegram
from Burns, who had remained in New
York: Arnold r. has gone through
with everything. Got eight in. Leav-
ing for Cincinnati at 4:30. (Signed) Bill
