Guessing is appropriate on the
eve of the 18th renewal OF the

Guesses about the number OF
spectators range upward from Co.

Light rains yesterday reduced
the track to sloppy condition.
The management, mindful OF TIE
hundreds of tons of sand distrl-
buted around the oval during the
rainy spell earlier in the meeting,
held out hope that the strip would
be dry and fast before post time
late tomorrow afternoon.

Gonzaga Ties for Title
In Upset Of Johnnies

Local scholastic basket ball
circles are buzzing today and if
some of the discussions are a
little heated it's understandable.
Topic is the GonZaga-St. Johns
rivalry. The Eagles whipped
Keydets, 1887, in Ritchie Coli
scum last night, leaving every one
in doubt as 20 which is fielding
the better team. The Johnnies
whipped Gonzaga earlier and so
the two clubs are tied for the
lead in the Metropolitan Catholic
League.
The two teams, which will meet
in a playoff game on March g.,
passed the lead back and forth
II times in last nights wild con-
test. GonZaga held 1927 lead
going into the final, but lost the
lead twice to st. Johns before
Tippy Larkins tied the score and
Mike Nolan sent the Eagles ahead
to stay.
Don Kokes fired a shot from
midcourt with only three seconds
remaining, but the ball bounced
off the rim and the Eagles were in.
Nolan scored IL points and
Larkins II for Gonzaga. Joe
Cardaci of St. Johns was high
scorer with Is points, IL on field
goals. In the preliminary St.
Johns junior team defeated Con-
zagaS juniors, 44-33.

Williams Signs;
MayBeFirstin
100000 Glass
Cronin Mum on Sum;
Take Home Record
Of Ruth Is Safe
BY the Assoeiafed Press

BOSTON. Feb. Is. - Reports,
none of which can be traced di-
rectly to Red Sox Slugger Ted
Williams or General Manager Joe
Cronin, are that the American
Leagues .365- batting champion
is baseball's first 100000 player.
Cronin said that Williams
phoned him from his favorite
fishing grounds in Everglades
City, Fla. last night that he ac-
cepted the Red Sox's terms and
would sign his 1949 contract when
he arrived at Sarasota training
camp on March 6.
Ted said he was very happy
about it and that he and his fam
lily were in excellent health"
Cronin reported as he set himself
for some sharp questioning.
"Are you giving Williams $780,
O0o?"
"Ted is Very Happy"
II told you Ted was very happy
about his new contract" Cronin.
strict upholder of Owner Tom
Yawkey's ban on salary talk, re-
piled.
"1s Williams getting more than
last seasons reported $80,000?"
was the next question fired at the
FenWay Park boss.
Il will tell you that it's the best
contract Ted has had" Cronin
answered between chuckles.
Recently, on the heels of the
signing of Joe Di Maggie and Lou
Boudreau for estimated $4,000
and $65, ,O00-$75, 900, respectively.
Williams appeared balky about the
Red Sox contract he had on hand.
He told Boston friends that he
was sending it back to have
minor technicalities" ironed out.
He assured them, however. that
he never has had ANY financial
disagreements" with the Yawkey
club.
Those "technicalities" probably
are attendance bonus clauses that
could make Williams baseball's
first hundred grander"
Won't Equal Babes "Take Home.
But regardless, current taxes
will make it impossible for Will
liams to take home as much pay
as Babe Ruth did 18 years ago
when he set the 100000 baseball
; salary record. The late homerun
king wound up with about $50 900.
All Williams had for himself and
family out of a similar amount
last season was about 100000.
But that has not prevented the
Boston slugger from investing in
an annuity which, one Of his
closest associates reported. is al
most paid up and will return q
$4,000 annual income for life.
With Williams actually. If not
formally. in the fold, Cronin now
can concentrate on the two re-
manning unsigned sockers. out
f1elders Dom Dl Maggie and Stan
Spence.
During the Christmas holidays,
Di Maggie and his bride came on
from San Francisco to visit the
latter's Wellesley kin.

Ivy Basket Race Tight
with Yale, Princeton
AT Columbia S Heels
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Ivy League basket ball
race today was in shambles.
Columbia, last years champion,
was in front, with Yale, which a
week ago was regarded as shoo-
in, in second place, a half-game
off the pace.
The Lions can give a large
assist to their front-running po-
sition to Princeton, which toppled
Yale Tuesday night. Cappy Cap
pon's Tigers have proved them
selves real giant killers in the
past two years.
Last season, Columbia rode into
Princeton sporting an unblem-
ished record and they were
knocked off promptly. Now they've
bumped Yale into second place.
Columbia will face a tougher
schedule during the remainder of
the season. It has five games left
Yale plays last-place Harvard
twice and Columbia once.
The Lions tackle Dartmouth
Monday, then must face Prince
ton, Penn, Cornell and Yale. If Co.
lumbia gets past its return meet
ings with Princeton next Wednes-
day, the showdown contest may
be on March 9 when the Lions
and the Ellis meet in New Haven.
Harvard, which is not figured
to give Yale any trouble. still is
searching for it's first victory.
Even Princeton still has a
chance of taking first place. If
Dartmouth beats Columbia and
the Tigers come out on top in
their game with the Lions. the
race would indeed be dogf1ght
among the three leaders.
Princeton has showed every
indication of bursting forth with
string of victories, but has not
lived up to it's potentialities. The
triumph over Yale could be what
the New Jersey team needed.

Ten Possible Starters
Named for Widener
BY the Associofed Press

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 25.-Ten pos
sible starters were named today
for the $4,000 Widener to be run
at Hialeah tomorrow. Calumet
Farms triple-threat entry of Coal

headed the list.
Hialeah Park officials said as
things stand, there will be betting
on the 14-mile feature, but if
most of the entries are scratched.
a ninth race would be added to
the program and no betting would
take place on the Widener.

houring meeting yesterday at the
Touchdown Club:
First round. starting at 6 pm.
Wednesday, March 2. at Ritchie
Coliseum, University of Maryland
st. Johns VS.. Washington-Lee,
George Washington VS.. runner up
for District of Columbia public
high title. Gonzaga VS.. Montgom-
County champion. District of Co.
lumbia public high winner VS..
Prince Georges County champion.
Seminal games next Friday
night put the winner of the St.
Johns Washington Lee against
the winner of the District of Co
lumbia Prince Georges game and
the winner of the George Wash
ington-District of Columbia run
nerup against the winner of the
Gonzaga- Montgomery County.
Friday nights losing teams meet
in consolation game on Monday,
March 7, preceding the final game
between Friday nights winners.
The men making the pairings
yesterday had a difficult task. So
many outstanding teams are en-
tered that the committee found it
impossible to seed the teams as
is the usual custom. There was
general agreement that George
Washington should have the No. l
spot off it's record of 19 straight
victories, but an hours discussion
after that couldn't turn up No.
3 team. Nearly a dozen plans
were proposed and rejected before
general agreement was reached on
the pairings announced above.
It all indicates that the strength
in schoolboy basket ball around
here is so evenly distributed that
any of the eight teams can take
this tournament. There isn't a
pronounced favorite nor a real
underdog on the list.
On the Tournament Committee
