TROPICAL PARK
 OPENING TODAY
Horse Racing Fans Bet S3O,OOO, 1000 Last Year;
 Wise Prince Favored

Miami, Fla, Dec. 20-(UP)More than l5,O00 spectators were expected at Tropical Park today for the first post call that will start the 96- horse-race meeting.
 A notable program will open the new season expected to SurpaSs even last years record meeting when 600,000 paying customers wagered more than $30,000,0oo at Troipcal and Hialeah park.
 Wise Prince, veteran campaigner of Eastern Stake competition and owned by Felix Saptaola of Phila- delphia, was a 3-to-l favorite for the Si,200 inaugural handicap, six furlong sprint for three-year-olds and over, which will feature the opening program.
 However, the black son of Wise Counsellor and Grace TroXler, with Jimmy Stout tip, will be carrying ,l20 pounds which may prove too great a burden for the short haul.
 Rated a notch behind Wise Prince at 4-to-l was Townsend B. Martins speed merchant Stubbs, Miss A., Doris Lady Higloss, I. J. Collins Paradisical and H. J. Bundscho's Great Haste also were rating a heavy play among tn, bettors, chiefly because they will carry from six to nine pounds less than the fa- vorite.
 Others figured as having a chance to upset form are Mrs. Emil Dene- marks entry of Higher Cloud and Orientalist, Shandon Farms Ever gold, Mrs. T. Stevenson's Kingsbury, K. T. Dawes Jesting and Mrs. D. L. Horton's Conrad Mann.

them defeat, and two won't get them any better than tie.
 Expert Stuff
 That's not my opinion. It Is the opinion of two men who know as much football as anyone you care to Hlame-Howard Jones, head coach at Southern California, and Aubrey Devine, onetime all-American from Iowa and now scout for Jones. Between them the Messrs. Jones and Devine have seen the Bears in acc ton five times this season. They speak knowingly of the outfit that Alabama must thwart to keep intact the brightest of all Rose Bowl records.
 T don't know if I have ever seen better starting lineup than Cali fornia has this year." Jones told me as he walked along fairway of the Lakeside Golf club a few days ago. "The eleven men who get the llrst call conprlse team that has no superior in this country, and I don't except Pittsburgh. It has no real weakness, and much greatness. The backfield ha sspeed, power, fine kicking, sure passing, and all the boys block. Up front it is much the same thing. Schwartz is an espe- cially fine offensive end and his partne on the other wing, Dolman, is tremendously effective defen- sive player. The tackles, while not spectacular are adequate. The guards are standouts. Both Evans and Stockton have all the require- ments of great guards, and of course Herwig is a notable center"
 This eleven, Jones said, was a first-half killer. In only one game this year did the Bears fail to pound out two touchdowns before half time. He believes 1t is capable of going through the Tide in the same manner.
 Early Starters
 "The California weakness" the U. s. o. coach explained, lis lack of reserves. Any replacement weak ems the squad considerably. That's why the Bears operate on the 'go- to town . in the- -flrst-half' theory. They know that the first team must do the scoring, and that 1t must do this scoring before fatigue sets in"
 Alabama's chances of victory hinge on the Tides summoning enough strength to check the Californians' first-half scoring burst, and then slowly wearing them down with re- serve strength late in the game. Ala bama must come prepared to score at least three times. No one be- lieves the Tide, or any other eleven in the country for that matter, can hope to check the ruthless drive of the Bears when they are fresh and ready.
 I saw California in two games. Against Oregon it crashed through for two touchdowns in eight min- utes in the second period. Against Stanford 1t felt out the opposition for 8 few minutes and then, with @ tremendous shower of power, marched down the field to clinch the game.

ORIONS OUTPOINT
 ST. JOSEPHS II. N. FIVE

The Central "" Orions defeated the St. Joseph's Holy Name 8 to 28. Paced by the fine shooting of Ganazer. Goodwin and Steimly who scored 20 of the teams points. The defense work of Majewski and Smith broke up many plays of the losers in the second period.
 The Orions were on the short end of 15 to 4 count at the end of the first period and l8 to g at the end of the half. The third period ended with the Holy Name out in front by count of 25 to 20.
 The fourth period opened up with the Holy Name scoring free throw and field goal to give them an point lead, here the Orions opened up with Ganazer and Goodwin making two fast baskets and Ma jewski made two free throws good, putting the Orions two points be- hind. Majewski intercepted a Holy Name pass Q few seconds later and tossed 1t to Steimly who was racing down the side court and he let go one of his one-hand shots to tie up the game. Smith intercepted one of the losers passes and let go one from the half way mark which cut the cords clean to put the Orions out in front. Goodwin ended scor- ing with a field goal and making free throw good.

BOSTON BEES WERE HARD TO
 SCORE UPON
Statistics Show Team Bet- ter Than Yanks, Giants
 in One Department
BY ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff Correspondent

I ShhSGu AOno 0VeSAA SOAASOROAsNSAaN
 Boston, Dec. 2O-(UP)--It's been a well-known fact that the Boston Beet were the weakest hitting club in the major leagues the past sea- son. .. But did you know that these same Bees also were the stingiest club in the big time when 1t came to surrendering runs to the opposi- tion.
 Microscopic study of the mass of statistics released during the past week shows that only 556 enemy runs crossed the Bees home plate during the 1897 campaign. |. . That's 46 fewer than then the pennarlt- winning New York Giants allowed. And ll5 less than the World Champion New York Yankees surrendered. All of which goes to prove that the Bees had the slickest pitching and fielding combination in the majors. ..
 But the fifth-place Bostonians also scored fewer runs than any team in either league--679. :. That's where the rub comes. In base- ball, they still pay off on power. |. Breen Bumped off
 Short story--A couple of seasons, a trigger r-tempered Boston Red Sox star who has since been traded be- came incensed at @ remark by a fan The player roared over to the boy seats, scooped up @ handful of dirt and dashed 1t in the face of the spectator. He then invited the fan to go under the grandstand and settle 1t with fists. Cooler heads stepped in and quelled the uprising The spectator was "Beano" Breen-- Big Shot" Boston racketeer who was slain here last week by an underworld enemy. -.
 The unusual angle about the trade that sends Jack (ReD Beattie from the Boston Bruins to the Detroit Red Wings for Gordon Pet tinger is that the deal actually was made between the scond and third periods of last nights game at Det- roit. And 1t was after the swap was made that Pettinger scored his second assist of the game against his new teammates! Of course, neither player was told of the trade until after the game. ..
 Beattie, who formerly played with the Springfield Indians, probably glad to leave Boston--if only to get away from that second-balcony wolf at the Boston garden who has been riding Red unmercifully.
 Eddie Collins Jr, son of the Bos- ton Red Sox general manager, learned the other day that the Sox were scheduled to play an exhibition game with Holy Gross next spring. So he phoned his pop from New Haven. Young Eddie wanted to konw what the chances were of the Sox playing an exhibition game game with Yale (for whom Junior plays nifty game of second basel Papa Collins sair the chances were good. A game Is being arranged.
 New England did very well for itself in the National Boxing Asso- ciations 1897 rankings. Placed e total of nine men in the first 10" over the eight divisions.

Washington Hill FavOrites vs Companions Tonight;
 Baldwins vs. Welles

Seeking their third consecutive victory which will place them in unchallenged leadership of the Washington Park Community House Senior League, the Reymond Hillies will meet the Companionship Club tonight in the first game of the usual two-game bill. Spectators will find the second game between the Baldwin Props and Welles more in- teresting, however.
 Tonight's games will be the only engagements of this week, as Christ mas eve makes the regular Friday games impractical. The same pro- cedure will be observed next week, also, due to the New Year holiday
 At the present time the Hillies and Tribunes are deadlocked for first place, with two victories each. A win tonight for the Doughboys will place them out in front by one game.

 A week ago promised Henry Minicucci that the first outstanding feat that he would perform, I would not fail him in bringing his name before the public, and if you wont discourage from reading further l intend to tell you just how Henry struggled to get publicity. Tn the first two boxes of the first game this is what Henry done: Picked up his ball and with his head and body erect he was determined to show the writer that his name was really worth publicity, so with a sly smile on his handsome face he throw the first ball with his portside delivery, and landed in the end zone for one pin, the spectators rose to their feet hissing and booing, but Henry pick ed up his second ball and again 1t landed in the same zone where he had already taken of the first pin. Red" Mucci, his captain, wild with despair yelled to aim for the head pin and before you coud say Jack Robinson, Henry was sprawled on the alley in a tangle of aims and legs which took four spectators to untangle, and there my dear read- CTS is Henry's idea of getting pub- licity. And I'm afraid that no one will recognize him as good pub- licity seeker no more. "So back to the Sidelines, Henr;"
 The mystery confronting our league is, who tier the mamie goat to Car pentier's back door with Tom Ian- nachino's picture hanging from its neck? There's a case for Joe Summa and his G-men, who by the way beat Carpentier and his Scouts two games last week. Better call for reserves Carp" your Scouts are slipping.
 The Presidents who have a habit of making trouble for any team they bowl, took two from the fast step- ping Trailers.
 The New Dealers again came through with flying colors by tak- ing two from the leading Senators who hold a one game lead over the fast slipping Scouts.
 The league extends Louie" Russo the ever smiling "Kid" its sincere and best wishes for speedy re- covery. Hurry, "Lu," the league misses you.
 "Alphonse" Jim Devito doesn't seem to say much since he lost his pal "Gaston." "Oh, where is my "GaSton?"
 The Senators have promised to serve cheese and crackers to Carp" and his Scouts when they meet for that crucial series. The last time the Senators had them in a trap. and they have been thero ever since. Good night.

Los Angeles, Dec. 20-(UP)--For at least thirty minutes in the Rose Bowl on New Years day Alabama's Crimson Tide football team will be pitted against the strongest eleven in the country, and one of the strongest ever produced on the Pa- fife coast.
 During the first 30 minutes of the Pasadena extravaganza the Califor- mia Bears are almost certainty to riddle the Alabama line with a series of savage thrusts and twice march across the payoR stripe for touch- downs. To win, the southerners must come prepared to score at least three touchdowns. One will cost

BY DYNAMTTE MEIKO

The Eyelet makers lost again, this time all on account of the Millwrights, who seem to be DOT sports. Always talking about sonle- one else and they are no better than anyone else.
 If Croce and Tony varanelli would keep away from Bankers lunchroonl, may be they would not argue so much.
 The Eyelet tool with Joseph L. Conlon coaching won three games from the Toolmakers. Nice work, Joe.
 The squawking Millwrights won three from the Vanity tool and why? Because Robert Humphrey didn't show up and why? Well, don't know.
