BENNIE HITS BASKET,
BREWERS WIN, 1928
Seven Goals Made by Ralph Tell
in Tilt With Passions, Top
Eastern Loop Team.

TN THE space of three years Chris
Heurich, jr., has sponsored profess
sional basket ball teams capable of
matching points against some of the
best paid fives in the business. During
that same period Ralph Bennie has
justified his position on the Brewers
roster by being consistently the best
all-around performer.
Both of these facts were accentuated
yesterday at the brewery gym as Chris
watched his current crop of players
turn back the Philadelphia Passions,
leaders of the Eastern Basket Ball
League, and simultaneously reveled in
the deeds of Bennie, who led in the
1928 victory.
The Eastern loops pace-setters were
in the running once, when they came
within one point of catching the
Brewers at 1914. The first of Ben
nie's seven field goals had started Heu-
richs eff to To lead and enabled
them to leave the floor at half time
ahead, 1873. But when the Passions
rallied again to approach the 'front.'
runners at 1925, Bennie once more
widened the gap to annex the final
points.
Which Is not to indicate that Bennie
was the whole team-just the leading
scorer. Both Whitley Wilson and OTIS
Zahn collaborated with brilliant floor
games, their freezing tactics helping
Heurich to hang on to the ball game.
Preliminary games found Delaware
81 Hudson smothering Olmsted Grill

The Hoyas, who startled the basket

tain West Virginia at Washington.
West Virginia now is tied for second

the cellar-dwelling Penn Staters at
State College. Penn State lost to
West Virginia, 40-35, on Saturday, the
only game played last week.

Of dizziness in the past few days
when they found athletes and cor
respondents dipping into Norwe-

as "slalom" and "langlauf" to
describe performances in the Win

For the benefit Of the uniniti-
ated, slalom ski race is dizzy
downhill event for which no Eng
lish term has been coined. It is
raced over a twisting course,
marked out by pairs of flags. be-
tween which the ski-runner must
pass. 1t differs from the down.
hill race, with which it was COM
bined in the Olympic scoring, in
that it is shorter and the emphasis
is placed upon turning. While the
downhill course isn't straight. the
important matter is getting from
the high place to the low one
in the least possible time.
A less common skiing term is
langlauf, merely a long distance
cross-country race. The figure
skaters also have language of
their own to describe the various
feats they perform but they're

NAME HERE HELD
| KENTUCKY'S ONLY
Florida Agrees to Abandon
Turf Term for Annual
$4,000 Event.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOSEPH z. WIDENER, president
of the Miami Jockey Club and
vice chairman Of the Jockey
~ Club, has started move that
may eventually lead to the discontinue
ance Of the name derby" in all races
in this country with the exception Of
the Kentucky Derby.
Widener, at his annual dinner to
the visiting members of the National
Association of State Racing Commits
sioners and their representatives, en-
phasized the fact that the word
derby" has been overworked by vari-
ous racing associations, Intentionally
or otherwise violating the traditions
Of the two great races, the English
Derby, which had its beginning in
1780, and the Kentucky Derby, orig
mating in 1875. The latter Is the
only classic in this country rightfully
entitled to the name.
Florida DROPS" Derby.
TO BACK up his thoughts, Mr.. Wild
ener announced that the Florida
Derby would not again bear that title
following its 1886 renewal on March
Z. The $4,000 added stake for s.
year-olds will be perpetuated at Hia-
leah, but under another name to be
chosen later.
In connection with the Hialeah
stage program for 1887, the Widener
Challenge Cup Handicap for 3-year-
olds and upward, to have its inaugural
running on February 20 for $4,000
added purse, will be increased next
season to a value of $4,000 added.
"As for all those races called derby
or darby" Widener told the COM
missioners, Il urge each of you to
consider and recommend to the racing
associations operating in your respec-
tive States to abandon the use Of the
word derby. There is no reason to 60
abroad for name to designate a race.
There are names for such 3-year-old
races that would be far more repre-
sentative Of the part of the country
where such stakes are scheduled than
copying the titles Of two Of the most
historic turf fixtures
Urges Australian Gate.
WDENER urged the abandonment
of the use of stall gates by a
systematic arrangement over a period
of time. He was firm in his belief
that the walk-up Australian gate
method of starting was the thing for
the future. Widener said horses could
be schooled universally by easy stages
to the walk-up start. During the
first season 2-year-olds only would
be schooled and started from the Aus
tralian gate; in the second season, 2
and 3-year-olds and the third season,
horses of all ages.

two Of these will be In Baltimore.
Chevy Chase will be the only local
club to hold a tournament, which
means, among other things, that
Chevy Chase is going to have the
biggest entry list in the history of
the tourney. The golf f-hungry fans
all will want a bid to the Chevy
Chase affair Notwithstanding the
usual handicap restrictions imposed
on guest players in the affair. For
several years the Chevy Chase tour
ney has been limited, in so far as
guests are concerned, to men with
handicaps of IA or less or IL or less.
Even with these restrictions the start
ing list has been big enough, but
with Chevy Chase the only local club
to stage a tournament next Spring,
there will be plenty of bidding for
invitations to play in the affair.
The other two Journeys to be held
in this locality are the Baltimore
Country Club invitation affair, sched-
uled for May 26. 81, % and 90 and
the Middle Atlantic championship,
slated for the Five Farms course of
the Baltimore Club, June IL, 13, IA
