That's George CoaIkIey. No,
it's Frank Coakley. Wait .
minute, now; maybe it was
George. Well, let's see; It was
No. 8, wasn't it? That is Frank"
Speaking of the Coakley broth
ers, friends; a twin combipe in
Roosevelt High School uniforms.
They were in the lineup yester'
day as Roosevelt went down to
defeat before the champion East
ern five, As to 80, in an interesting
game in the Tech gym.
They're capable players, those
youngsters. Yesterday they scored
Is points between them-all Of
which helped the Riders no little
in giving the Parkers a fast battle
from beginning to end.
Mustache Might Help
But one of these fine days,
Coach Herman Littman will be
forced to paint muStache on one
Of EN- in order that scorers in
basketball games will be able TO
tell Which player is which from
the floor.
Getting back to that battle the
Riders gave the Parkers, it de-
veloped into just that in the wan
ing moments. Eastern had q com.
Portable lead, but saw it slowly
dwindle as the Coakley boys (now
don't let's get started On them
AGAIN., Spero KoliuS, Joe Conner
and Harry Silverman slipped in
basket after basket.
At the beginning of the final
quarter, Eastern'S lead was 81 to as.
The Riders got going in real mo-
mentum then and midway in the
period came within 8 points OF
overhauling their rivals. :
But this advantage was not to
be overcome. The pre-game dope
had it that way, and besides East.
ern was supposed to be too good
to let a little thing like an upset
creep into the picture. !
Chick Hollidge, Reds Scheible
and Buddy Shaner led the Park
erS out of their temporary lapse.
Hollidge flipped in one basket and
three fouls. Scheible chimed in
with a basket while Shaner'S foul
had its advantages.
Slate Kept Clean
The victory kept Eastern's two
year slate clean for high school
series play. The ParkerS can now
enter the Metropolitan tournament
and the Glen Falls test at Glen
Falls, N, Y, next month, knowing
they have one title behind them
anyway.
A private battle also was settled
yesterday. 1t was between Chick
Hollidge and Dope Dean for series
scoring honors. Hollidge walked
off the floor with the honors by
totaling II points as against
Deans 7.
Spero Kolius was RooSevelt'S best
player besides the Coakley pair.
Spero finished his series play with
five baskets and five fouls for IS
points. George Coakley scored
three baskets and a foul for 2
points, and Frank, four baskets
for 8 points.

A triple-threat athlete is Til
man Scott, of Mount Rainier
High School.
Scott is better known to his
team mates as "Tilly." They've
cheered him on many times in the
last three years as he's been a
downright sensation in soccer,
basketball and baseball.
"Tilly" is an excellent athlete
at that. He's big and strong and
happily has the stamina which
should enable him to go far in
sports when he departs from
Mount Rainier High. He is IT
and weighs ITO.
He plays forward on the Mount
Rainier basketball team, holds
down the shortstop post for the
nine and center forward for the
soccer team. In baseball, he's
quite a hitter, also fine fielder.

Pop Warner Blasts
Grid Rule Chances

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20.-Glenn
s. Pop" Warner, famous football
coach, today landed with both feet
on the decision of the Football
Rules Committee which last week
at Palm Springs, Calf, voted for
q change in the rules. Returning
from Honolulu, Warner declares:
"AbOIishing the slow whistle
Is . disadvantage to q ball-Car-

he'll be swearing I gypped him."
But the retailer persisted. Sure,
he knew all about the terrible
legS-he had eyes, could see for
himself.
Anyhow" he argued, "the
horse wins for you, why won't
he win for me? Do you think
you've got the only good trainer
in the wOrld?"
Shame to Take Money
So at $500 the horse changed
hands, the wholesaler telling his
trainer he was ashamed to take
the money, the trainer was happy
to be rid of a worrySome charge,
and the retailer confided to his
wife, that he had, at $500, liter
ally stolen the horse" What the
horse thought about it all was
never revealed.
However, the retailer won the
argument. And strangely he was
his own trainer-had been q horse
man all his life, breeding and
training several good ones. Under
his conditioning, this horse with
mo legs under him preceded to
develop into the crack handicap
racer Of western tracks, was the
medium Of several killings on New
York ovals, broke track record
under 1875 pounds, and wound up
Tin two campaigns) winning 26
races!
And forever after, to think Of
that horse gave the wholesaler a
headache. But at least he didn't
lose the retailer as a customer
for both goods and more horses.

British Horse Out Of
100000 Handicap;
Twelve Entries Left
By GRIFFTNG BANCROFT, Jr.

BY Gk1FFlNG BANChOF1, JF.
SANTA ANITA RACE TRACK,
ARCADIA, Cal, Feb. 20.-Yes sir,
these English are smart people.
And so the "Who can beat Dis
covery contest" today had settled
down to purely an American af-
fair. In view Of present data 1T
looks as though IL hopefulS will
60 postward in the 100000 Santa
Anita Handicap to run against
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's Ia
vorite, Discovery.
The only English entrant in the
race, Flamenco, will not run. After
watching Discovery work out. and
after suffering a harsh defeat IN
preliminary event Tuesday,
Trainer Mat Brady announced the
British thoroughbred is out.
And with that, although hardly
because of it, the odds on DiScoV-
cry fell another point-they're 7-5
on the books today.
But at the same time the situa-
tion-which means whose nag Is
going to finish secondhand been
complicated further today with a
brilliant workout on the part OF
Mrs. John Hay Whitney's Singing
Wood.
Betting Is Heavy
Just leaving Discovery out OF
the picture-and probably the
fans who want to see lot OF
horses running together Saturday
will have to watch them after
Discovery lopes home-there is a
nice fight going on for second
favorite.
It had been all Top Row and
Time Supply, for whom the San
Francisco bookieS report lots OF
money rolling in even now. But
now comes Singing Wood. Nobody
doubted he could out-mud the best
mudders-and it's going to be a
muddy track Saturday--but even
his staunchest Supporters doubted
his distance ability.
Yet through the slop yesterday,
Singing Wood clipped off a mile
and an eighth in 1854 flat and
looked as though he could have
gone on the mile and a quarter
distance without trouble. At 109
pounds-21 under the formidable
Discovery-the son Of Royal Minis
trel is a threat.
The probable starters for the
big event now boil down to Dis
covery, Scotch Bun, Top Row,
RiskuluS, Time Supply, Singing
Wood, Ariel Cross, RoSemont,
Thursday, Tick On, Whopper, He
Did, and Howard.
Azucar may run but probably
will be withdrawn if the mud con-
tinues to get deeper. Preeminent,
First Minstrel and Pompey'S Pill
lar probably will be withdrawn
in any event.
Watch Time Supply
He Did was the only other con-
testant to take a real workout yes,
terday. The valiant three-year-old
Of Mrs. SilaS B. Mason took over
the mile and an eighth in :56 3-5,
almost three seconds slower than
Singing Wood.
Tive two outstanding contenderS
for second place are in top form,
at least in the opinion Of their
owners. Frank A. Carraud urges
you to watch his Time Supply
while A. A. Baroni sees victory for
his Top Row.
Tick On, who forced out Fla
menco by beating him Soundly in
the Fresno Handicap, still is q
staunch threat. And it has been
announced that Danny Brammer
will be aStride Tick On. Brammer
is TIE sensational apprentice who
leads all the jockeys here for the
season ant. who added to his
glories by riding three winners
