TWO games in two days against the
worlds colored professional basket
ball champions is the big task the
Heinrich Brewers have assigned to
them this week end when they enter
tain the Renaissance five of New York
City in their gym at Twenty sixth and
Water streets northwest.
The first game will be played Sat-

second scheduled for the Brewers
weekly time, at $3.50 O'Clock Sunday
afternoon. Accommodation are be-

ever to see a game in the Heurich
gym.
Some idea of the kind of team to
which the Brewers will be opposed is
seen by the Renaissance record of 121
victories in 1876 games last year. In
addition, the colored pros are credited
with one Of the longest winning
Streaks on record-88 successive VIC
tories scored during the 1933-34
season.
Heurich's chances of beating the
famed team rose considerably last

In the Eastern circuit, with matches

pro matches would involve circuits

Would Eliminate Promoter.
THE pro golfers have a bunch
that they can use their own Or
ganization to perfect this league and
keep the professional promoters out.
They figure that professional ath-
letes in many branches Of sport are
exploited by promoters, but that as
golf doesn't draw heavy enough as
compared with foot ball and base
ball, and as no great investment
would be needed to operate profess
sional golfers league, the star players
should keep it to themselves and use
their present organization to oper-
ate it.
The Eastern division would include
teams from Washington, Westchester
County, Long Island, New Jersey.
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and one other
city, possibly Buffalo. The Western
division would have teams from three
districts in Chicago, hotbed of the
game, and from Cleveland, Detroit.

Capital Has Fit Talent.
SUCH a league would draw dollars
at the gate in all the cities along

be in such bad shape There are
half a dozen good pro golfers around
the Capital who would fit into
winning outfit in a circuit of this
kind, but they'd have to step along
pretty fast to hold their own with the
men from the larger centers of the
game. That Spalding caravan group
who will register from Chicopee Falls,
Mass, next year would be a strong
outfit, for example. Horton Smith

Lawson Little would be no push
overs. Cooper will join the group on
January to make the all-star four
