came Louis assistant publicity man
When Little resigned as head OF
Georgetown's athletic department to
become head football coach at Co.
lumbia in 1880, Gabe applied for the
job Of graduate manager of athletics
and Immediately was accepted.
Since then he has been responsible
for arranging Georgetown's schedules
in all sports and rare have been the
times in which instant approval has
not been forthcoming.
He was one of the prime supporters
OF the move to organize the Eastern
Intercollegiate Basket Ball Conference
which now includes Pittsburgh. Penn
State, Carnegie Tech, Temple and
West Birginia and his associates in
that body reflected his popularity by
electing him president last year.
1t is because he Is president that
the conference will hold most i'm
portant business meeting here this
week. Not only will the 1889 and 194O
schedules be drafted, but the applica-
tions of several Eastern colleges for

The 1887 champion and No.

6-furlong trial over the Hialeah

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

IN THE jargon of chess there is q
technical term-"the master"
It means man who has met
measurable standard Of excel
lence in the game by passing certain
tests and winning certain matches.
A master-in terms more familiar to
fellows like the writer who don't know
the difference between chess and Chi
nese poetry-is one who has made the
big leagues.
Perhaps it's natural that DR.. Eman-
uel Lasker. who for 80 years was chess
champion of the world, one of the
supreme plapers of all time, author,
philosopher. mathematician, in his
old age Jewish exile from his native
Germany, should draw upon the Ian
guage of the game in which he at
tanned such eminence in expounding
the philosophy Of things which arise
from his experience and which is now
near its fruition.
1t is 1.-The cult of the master"
Its ramifications extend all the
way from the economic and social
troubles Of an upset world to betting
on horse races.
Boiled down, it is Carlyle's hero"
philosophy which has passed through
the crucible of mind with infinitely
more experience with the world and
more mastery of various fields of
learning than the Scotchman ever
attained.

Gabe Is Accomplished.


RUT that's not to imply that he's
not as worthy of respect as one
encountered with many titles. And
If you don't think he has titles and
has done things during the last II
years, take gander at what he's
been and done:
Assistant athletic publicity manager
Of Georgetown, 1927-3l.
Appointed graduate manager of
athletics, 81.
Helped organize Eastern Intercol-
legiate Basket Ball Conference, 81.
Elected president Eastern Confer
ence, '37.
Responsible, with H. c. Byrd Of
Maryland, for bringing about resump-
ton of Georgetown-Maryland athletic
relations after lapse Of 80 years.
Recently elected director at large
Of Eastern Collegiate Association.
Was chairman of District of CO.
lumbia olympic Committee to finance
the last Olympic games.
Not bad for young chap, not vet
turned 80, and a record from which
Georgetown has benefited as much
as Gabes personal prestige. For in
all OF his pursuits Gabe ever has
striven to put Georgetown first and
that the school was kept before the
public eye during that none-too-
successful period between the end OF
the Lou Little regime and the coming
of Jack Hagerty is in no little due to
this energetic young man.
Today, of course, with the Hilltop
solidly behind its athletics, Gabe's
task is easier, but he still wins new
friends for his alma mater by his
efficient and likable way Of doing
things.

exiles.
Returns to Mathematics.
IT WAS an i'll wind for DR.. Lasker,
but it sent him back to his mathe-
mates, where, as in chess, he was a
creative genius. There is this good
to be said for the Soviet government
it made place for the exile in the
Moscow Academy and let him go to
work. He spent year or more setting
down on paper the calculations on
the next step in the mathematics Of
Gauss ideal numbers which he had
been rejecting on for 80 years.
That's about the way creative math-
ematics progresses, he said-one step
ahead every 80 years or SO.
And when his experiences Of the
last few years are considered, one
doesn't wonder at the scorn in his
voice when he excoriates bureaucracy
and extols "the master"

as for the Cubs winning the flag in

Acquisition Of big Jim Weaver from

Of deals intended to bolster a pitching

IN ADDITION to Weaver, the Browns
have acquired Buck Newsom from
the Boston Red Sox, Vito Tamulis
from the Yankees Newark farm, and
Ed Linke from Washington to team up
with their 1887 standbys of Oral Hill
debrand and Jack Knott.
Les Tietje, his arthritis cured; Russ
Van Alta, Jim Walkup and Julio Bo-
netti also are on the roster for 1885,
with expectations they will come
through, at least in relief roles.
In fact, Street says. the Browns
now have more promising pitching
