One of the features of The Eve
ming Stars 18th annual Metropol-
itan interscholastic invitation bas-.
ket ball tournament next week is
the big list OF trophies and awards
to be presented at the end. The
numerous trophies presented in the
past have helped make the tourney
the feature attraction on the high
school winter sports program, and
this years list is one of the best
ever prepared.
There will be trophies for win
ming and runnerup teams in both
boys and girls sections, and also
trophies to winning coaches and
to the outstanding boy and girl
players. Members of winning teams
in both sections will receive gold
basket balls, and runnerup players
get silver basket balls.
The trophy for the outstanding
boy player this year, large silver
cup. will be known as the Charles
Hart Memorial Trophy. 1t is named
in honor of the former principal
of Eastern High School, who died
recently and who during his entire
career as an outstanding educator
was a staunch supporter of ath-
letics and of basket ball in particu-
lar. He was one of the most ardent
basket ball fans Washington ever
has had, and it was largely
through his support that Eastern
through the years has had SO many
outstanding quints.

Sargent Retires as Pro
Al Jones' Home Course
By the Associoted Press

ATLANTA, Feb. 24.-George Sar-
gent, U. S. open golf champion in
1909 and Canadian Open titlist in
1912, retired today as professional
at East Lake Country Club and is
being succeeded by his son Harold.
Sargent came here in 1882 and
for many years his son has served
as his assistant at the course where
Bobby Jones learned the game.
Jones now is club president. Before
the first World War, he was pro at
Chevy Chase Club in Washington,
D. G.
Sargent's score of 290 in the U. S.
open, a record then, stood until
1916 when Chick Evans broke it
with 286, although Walter Hagen
had tied it in 1914.

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 24.-Frank
Mancuso, who will share the Mats
catching duties with AL Evans this
season, regrets the trade that dis
patched Jake Early to the st. Louis
Browns and shifted him to Wash
ington. He smiles when he says it,
though, in explaining his unimpres-
sive batting average may suffer by
the move.
st don't know what my batting
average is against Washington, y
says Mancuso, 'but it must be
around 500. I could always hit well
against Washington for some reason,
so I guess that's the reason Mr..
Griffith wanted to get me. I didn't
hurt the other-clubs much with my
hitting, but against washington I
could get hot.
Mancuso, a 210-pounder who
hopes to shed 10 pounds here in
spring training, never considered
any other position when he was old
enough to pick up a mitt. His
brother, 13 years older than 27-year-
old Frank, was a highly regarded
major league catcher for II years
with the Giants, Cards, Cubs, Dodg-
ers and Phillies. So Frank simply
followed that pattern.
Bought First Mitt Last Year.
IT never bought a catcher's mitt
until last year." says Frank. Gus
always brought home several of 'em
during the winter, so I'd pick out
one I liked and use it the following
season. 1t was Gus who recon-
mended me to Bill Terry in 1896
when Terry was managing the
Giants.
"I sort of wish Gus hadn't done
that. I was 16 years old then and
Terry signed me all right. 7 spent
three years in the Giants system,
then was brought up with the New
York club in 1889. T had done pretty
well in the minors, but once before
Terry and I had a little argument
about salary and he didn't forget it.
He offered me a contract calling
for 5000 a month and said could
take it or leave it. Well, I was kid
full of ambition and wanted to play
baseball, so had to take it. I don't
know if that's the smallest salary
paid major league player in re-
cent years but it probably is. Any
way, I don't have much use for
Terry"
Went to Browns From Army.
Mancuso, who suffered a broken
leg and an injured back on his fifth
qualifying jump at Fort Benning
while attempting to become para
trooper, was discharged from the
Army in time to join the st. Louis
Browns and help them win the 1914
pennant.
Frank had quite record In that
World Series against the Cards, in
cidentally. He batted three times
to get two hits and thus boast a
.667 hitting record in World Series
competition.
Mancuso is hoping for more action
with the Mats. 81 hit better when I
work regularly" explains Frank,
who Is constructed for heavy duty.
A handsome 6-footer, Mancuso par
ticipated in 81 games with the
Browns last season and batted .240.

Rockets Nip N. T. s.

The supercharged Rockets of
r. M. H. S. came roaring from be-
hind in the fourth quarter of last
Fridays encounter with N. T. S.
to win their third game of the sea-
son by a score of IL to 7.
Early in the first quarter the
Rockets moved on a sustained
drive from their 25-yard line to
the 15-yard line of the National
Training School. From there Nick
Nicholson sprinted around right
end to score for Richard Montgom-
cry. The attempted conversion was
wide.
In the second quarter the N. T.
s. lads pulled a screen pass that
completely befuddled the Rockville
team as Baker raced 80 yards to
score. The try for extra point was
good. The half ended with N. T. s.
leaolnR Z 10 %,
On the first play of the third
quarter Ward Fetrow raced 80
yards around left to score but the
play was called back because Of a
penalty against Rockville. The
game then settled down and be-
caua a defenaive contest until late
in the fourth quarter.
Again the Rockville eleven moved
down the field to score on a line
plunge by Nicholson. The try for
extra point was missed. N. T. s..
tried vainly TO score in the dying
moments Of the game, but the
Rockville line rose TO the occasion
and the game ended with the Rock
