Jack KearnS is now completely
sold on the idea that he has an
other heavyweight champion com
ing along in Jimmy Adamick who
met and passed one Of the i'm
portant tests last night at Madi
son Square Garden.
It wasn't the fact that Adamick
captured the decision from Harry
Thomas after weathering a storm
in the tenth round that impressed
Kearns so much as the way the
midland macer stood up under
punishment and snapped back
quickly after each ordeal with the

Bulky Field Forces
Owner to Decide On
Secondary Race

HIALEAH PARK, Fla, Feb. 10.
Samuel D. Riddles War Admiral
declined the issue in the $500
added McLennan Memorial HaIfdi-
cap, the feature attraction here
today.
At scratch time, Trainer George
Conway announced that the son Of
Man o. War would start in the
Heather Purse, the secondary fear
ture. LIZ
The largest racing crowd in
Florida's history, estimated at
20, 900, will see the unbeaten three
year-old champion Of 1897 concede
from six to IA pounds to a great
band of sprinters.
The Heather, which is not as
severe test as the McLennan, is
over the seven-furlong route, and
the Little Admiral" is asked to
carry only 122 pounds, eight less
than in the feature attraction.
ADMIRAL IN SHAPE
While War Admiral is reported
in excellent condition by Owner
Riddle and Trainer Conway, the
bulky field in the handicap may
have spelled disaster for the
champions, as he was concediug
chunks of weight to his opponents
and he had been assigned an out
side post position.
The Heather's purse appears,
natural spot for a horse which is
pointing for fifty grand" on
March 5. Run over the seven fur
long route he should run his op-
ponents dizzy in the first quarter
mile and thus escape any inter-
ference that may occur.
WORKOUTS GOOD
War Admiral's morning trials
have bordered on the sensational.
In his last trial at mile and
furlong he breezed the distance
in ISL 3-5, travelling the first
mile in 1889 and the six furlongS
in 1:12.
With the track lightning fast,
track officials and horsemen look
for the Admiral" to establish
new track record for the seven
furlong dash, that is, If Charley
Kurtsinger decides to push the
champion once he assumes an easy
lead.
With ideal racing conditions
prevailing, a banner crowd Of
20, 900 is expected, with the mutuel
play around the half.million-dollar
mark.

the University of Pittsburgh in
Tech High gym this afternoon at
q o'clock.
Aside from this the game is Of
little Importance to either team
as both quintets have shot their
bolts for the season and each has
come wide of the mark. One
thing, however, is definite. as
Ihard-fought game as will be
played here this season is fore
cast with Georgetown q Q to 5
favorite.
Georgetown defeated the Pan.
thers in Pittsburgh several weeks
ago, 50-47. The Pitt Panther,
like the proverbial elephant. has
not forgotten that three-point set
back, and for that matter, George
town hasn't forgotten its victory
and believes that there is no rea-
son why it can't make it two in a
row over the invaders.
ONLY FIVE VICTORIES
Georgetown is in dire need Of a
victory as it has won but five
games in 13 starts this season
after being billed before the
Christmas holidays to clean up
everything in a basketball way
around this neck Of the woods.
Pitt, boasting a senior team this
year, which was good enough to
capture the Eastern Conference
title last year, has been playing in
and out ball throughout the cam
paign. Too many games on the
road is the reason advanced for
the 500 average of the club for
the season.
Chief threat in the lineup Of
the PantherS Is Miles Zeleznik,
crack forward of the team, who
starred against the Hilltop earlier
in the season. Another lad who
must be closely watched BY the
Hoya guards is Bob Johnson, No
/. who likewise sparkled against
the Hilltoppers.
TWO BOB JOHNSONS
Pitts Bob johnson No. / is
captain Of the team and forward,
while Bob johnson No. 2 is a
sophomore guard. This is an un-
usual side issue Of the game-the
two Bob JohnsonS of Pitt.
Georgetown will make one major
change in its lineup this after
noon. Mario Gregorio, former
Central High School luminary,
will start in place Of Joe Murphy.
For some reason or other the
local lad has failed to grab a
regular starting assignment. Per
haps 1t is the lack of height. But
regardless Of this Coach Freddy
Mesmer has definitely announced
that Mario will be used to open
the festivities. The Central High
star is a fine pot-shot artist and
may be the money man" in the
game today.
Mesmer will probably start Ed
Kurtyka at the other forward
position, with Harry Bassin and
Tommy Nolan in the guard slots
and Captain Mike Petroskey at
center.
There is a possibility, however,
that John Schmidt, who was the
outstanding Hoya star against
Pitt in the first meeting will get
the call over Kurtyka by game
time.

CHINESE AIR FIGHT

Over a hundred fighting planes
met in the air over Hankow,
China's temporary capital, and
fought for hours as a preliminary
to one of the greatest battles of
the Chinese war, which will
shortly begin. japanese reports
state that they shot down 20
Chinese planes and successfully
bombed a Chinese airport.
Chinese said the japanese planes
were beaten back, though 10
Chinese planes were lost. 1t is
quite probable that the Chinese
suffered the greatest loss in
planes, but judging from wild
japanese publicity reports, it is
more likely that the airport was
not bombed. Meanwhile huge
Japanese and Chinese armies
wait to advance against each
