26 SPORTS THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FEBRUARY 20, 1921—PART 1. SPORTS Zachary Signs Contract : French Star Trails in Race : Georgetown and C. U. Teams Win LEFTHANDER EXPECTS “TO HANG UP 20 WINS; ~ FEW GRIFFS OUT NOW BY DENMAN THOMPSO IM O’NEILL was not the only member of his flock Clark Griffith heard from yesterday. In a later mail than that which brought the | | | i | I | signed contract of the shortstopper with the bad news that his | physical condition may prevent him from starting work for several weeks yet, came the duly inscribed document of Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary. Angd the message accompanying it was as cheerful and optimistic in tone as that from O'Neill was doleful Jezebel allows as how his off-side throwing arm never was in a finer fettle, that he has very little superflous | aveirdupois and that he is fairly itching to hike southward—r'arin to go, as-Jim Shaw would say. Washington’s huskiest _southpaw voiced the belief that he will enjoy a much more successful campaign than last year, and his record then was far from poor. With a sixth place club, the sorrel-topped lefthander. who participated in more games than any other local slabbist, came within one victory of turning in as many Buccesses as the sixteen setbacks charged against him. Incidentally his total ¢ fifteen wins exceeded by, three | the number turned in by George] Erickson. who stood second on the Nationals’ list in number of triumphs. Twenty Wins, Zach's Goal. Zachary has set an even twenty vie- tories as his _goal for the coming campaign, and considering the in- creased strength expected of the team as a whole this year his hopes are not unreasonable, but Zach's ex- pectations are not confined to mound work. The slow-moving but Keen- witted North Carolinian has unbound- ed confidence in his ability as a slug- ger, and confided in his boss the hope that he will display sufficient prowess to warrant being called on frequently for pinch-hitting duty. ¥ Yep, Zachary cherishes the ambition of emulating his famous fellow southpaw, Babe Ruth, and, graduating from the mound corps in which he sces service only every fourth or fifth day to the t where he will have to be kept in the line-up because of his swatting skill. Zachary’s hopes along this line are not altogether unfounded, either. He has a good stance, takes a healthy wallop and When he meets the ball has enough brawn to handcuff an outflelder with his drives. He compiled an average of .261 last year, and, given the opportunity of sharpening his optics by facing more pitchers, should boost that mark con- siderably. Only Few Now Unsigned. Zachary's acceptance of terms leaves only the two Georges of Washington's pitching prospects still outside the fold —Erickson and Mogridge. In fact, aside from Miller and Brottem, who, as has Deen frequently mentioned. will not be in @ position to sign until Judge Landis settles the controversy with Pittsburgh over their ownership, only four others have failed to climb on the band wagon —Judge, Shanks, Ellerbe and Picinich. Joe, Hank and the governor still have three weeks in which to make up their minds, but the time is growing short for Erickson, Mogridge and Picinich, as they have been notified to start for the training camp next Saturday, while the + §nflelders are not due to show up until March 14. Mike Fn Route to Tampa. Mike Martin got off as per schedule yesterday evening for the long ride to Tampa. The trainer chaperoned half a dozen trunks and boxes filled ‘with uniforms_and paraphernalia_for the playegs. He will be assisted in ting the camp in readiness by Fred eycutter, to whom the spring image southward has become a fixed custom. .

This was the special event in which the Olympic 5000-meter winner, Corp. Josef Guillemot, came from | France to compete. For half the distance Guillemot was in second place, about twenty yards! behind Ray, who led practically from start to finish. Walter Higgins of Co- lumbia passed the French soldier at the beginning of the tenth lap, which was a little more than half the dis- tance of the race. John J. Romig of Penn State College forged ahead of | the Frenchman at the beginning of the fourteenth lap, and from that to the finish the order was Ray, Higgins, Romig and Guillemot. Ray won handily by fifty yards. Higgins, in second place, was a half lap ahead of Romig and fully three- quarters in front of Guillemot. The time was 8.41 1-5.

EW YORK, February 19—On the even of baseball migration to the southern camps, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, in his capacity as supreme head of the game, has received requests from various the | mmons, with 96 breaks, led"thosé and its best shots only able O That the Manual Trainers are in a last season is due mainly to their d many points, the Seventh Streeters opponents to score. Statistics of th an average, has had at least four le than other members of the circuit. Tech has played six games and lost one, that to Western by a two-point margin. _All told, the leaders have scored 105 points and have yielded §8 to their opponents. The Manual Trainers use four of their players formation defensively, keeping one of their number in the safety position be- neath their basket. This job has been assigned to Gude, and he has more than made good during the campaign. More threatening rallies have been nipped in the bud by the stalwart Tech guard than by any other player in the high schools. Tech Quint I Rugged. More rugged and in better condition than the other teams, Tech probably will garner another titie this week. It will be pitted against Eastern Tuesday, and while the Capitol Hill boys have been striding along at a great rate late- ly, Tech is favored to get the better end of the score. Business, another team that of late has shown much improve- ment, will be encountered Friday. The Manual Trainers should get the better of this argument also, for the Ste- nograplhers scarcely are a match for their huskier foes. There is, of course, a possibility of a two or three team deadlock for the championship. Should Western win from Central Friday and Tech lose one of its two games, the first and last mentioned quints would be tied for the lead with six wins and two losses each. In the event that Western and Tech lose all their games during the week, they would be involved with Eastern in a three- cornered tie that would necessitate an- other week of play. Here's how the teams now stand: : Pet. Tech .. 833 Weatern ity Eastern 1 Central 286 Business © 143 ‘Western Heaviest Scorer. In scoring Western is well ahead of the other quints. The Red and ‘White tossers in their seven engage- ments have totaled 191 points for an average of more than 27 per game. Eastern stands second with 133; Tech is third with 105, made in six games; Central fourth with 112, and Business trails with 99. Western, which has a habit of setting high score records in the league, recorded the best this sea- son when it defeated Central, 42 to 21. Defensively Tech easily outclasses the others. In their six cgntests the Manual Trainers have periiftted their opponents an average of 14 1-3 points for each game. Eastern and Central outrolled the Royal quint of five games of a ten-game mat eight pins. The remaining five ga alleys in the National Capital som for the ten games are to decide the The match here was hotly contested until the final contest.

Four Western and two Eastern regulars are among the lead- ing point-getters, while Tech has placed two of its members at the foot of the list. Allowing for the one game more in which the players of other quints have participated, the Seventh Streeters could do no better than have a representative in a seventh-place tie in the records.

UL FIVE, 518 Winners Sturdier and More Aggressive and Outlast Hatchetites. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EORGETOWN UNIVERSITY G basketers, sturdier and more aggressive than their opponents, overcame the George ‘Washington University quint at the Coliseum last night, 25 to 18, but victory was not achieved without a struggle. The Hatchetites were in the thick of the fray from the open- ing whistle until the final second of action and more than gave a good account of themselves. It was the second encounter of the campaign between these teams and last. night's triumph gave the Hill- toppers a winning percentage of 1,000 In the engagement in Ryan Gym- nasium last month, Georgetown won, 26 to 19. In maintaining its record of no de- feats this winter, the Blue and Gray did most of its scoring in the second half. The first session saw it spurt to the front sharply after play began, but the Hatchetites were up and at ‘em and soon surprised their follow ers and Georgetown's adherents by Zaining a 6 to 5 advantage. The Hill- toppers quickly added a goal from scrimmage to take the lead and never { were headed thereafter. The half ended with the Hilltoppers ahead, 15 to 12. The pace set by the Blue gnd Gray in the second half proved too fast for its opponent. how- ever. The Hilltoppers' attack im- proved and they tightened their de- fense to such an extent that two floor goals only were garnered by the downtown university. Flavin Scores Only Once. Much to the surprise of those who had seen_him in other games, Jack Flavin, Georgetown’s star forward, failed to score consistently. He made a number of tosses, but pocketed only one, and he was not 8o _closely guarded, either. He did well from the 15-foot line, however, caging seven of his thirteen throws. Flor- ence and O’Connell were strong floor players for the winners and the guards were continually active. All of Georgetown’s scrimmage points in the second half were tossed by O'Connell and the husky center made five goals in all. For George Washington, Boteler, Spears and Chesney Kept the team in the game. Except for one basket tossed by Bracklow, this trio did all the scoring from floor and frustrated many Georgetown efforts to get through the court. In the first half the Hatchetites played spiritedly, but they faltered frequently in ‘the second session and plainly revealed their lack of physical condition as compared with that of_ the Georgetown tossers. George Washington also was weak at free tossing. Spears made good in but two of six heaves and Boteler in one of four. Line-Up and Summary. *town (25). _ Positions. G. W. (18). il ). .

This may sound |like a greatly exaggerated tement, {but after having watched -young | Lynch rush, tear, siip, slide, side-step land race his way around the floor in and out among bigger and stronger players, and besides making some 1 suce shots which not even most ardent C. U. rooters thought possib! it is the only conclusion one could reach. Even with all due consi. tion for the capabilities and actions of the other members of the Lynch's performance against Pr ton stands out as about the most re- markable exhibition ever given by any player on a local court, within the last decade. Scores Nineteen Points. Besides doing everything well practically running the team, 1 cold figures scored 19 of th points imade by his team. Three goals from e fleld were made in the second half, after brilliant bits of personal play, in which he received little help. One goal was thrown in the first half and, be- sides those four tosses from the floor he dropped the ball through the basket from the foul line eleven times. While tne aforegoing apparently gives Lynch nearly all the credit for defeating Princeton and practically is @ dissertation on his personal virtu. on the basket ball court. Lymch ac- tually did mot do quite all. One de- partment of play, as a team, in which C. U. outdid anything shown previousiy on a local court in years was passing. Under all kinds of difficuit conditions the Brooklanders got the ball away from them and shot it accurately to their fellows, and just as accurately was it handled. It fakes a real basket ball five to carry away a victory when stacked up against such passing as C. U. did; a better team than Prince- ton showed during the forty minutes it was on the floor. Tiger Players Outclassed. A Princeton players probably will at- tribute their defeat to many differ- ent causes, but to get down to brass tacks, Princeton is lucky it was not whipped by a larger score. Had the ‘Washingtonians shot baskets as ao- curately as Princeton, if they had made good on as big a percentage of their chances for goals from the floor, they would have won by a much better margin. Rather medi- ocre shooting, except for Lynah brilliant work, was about the only department of play in which the quint fell short of actual brilliance. Catholic University was the first to score, the point being rung up when Lynch dropped the ball through the basket for his first goal from foul. However, it was not long before Princeton forged ahead and the first half ended 11 to 8 in its Lavor, heo:u.se C. U. had not been e to get many of the goals which nlmthm" for. ¥ n the second half, following mome more or less gentle advice by Coach Fred Rice between halves, the Brook- landers came back and started a whirl- wind passing game that simply kept Princeton guessing and which the vis- itors mever were able to fathom. = At least they never solved it sufficiently %o break it up, and for much the greasar part of the time the ball was held ® C. U.’s possession. Le Gendre Does Well. But it must not be thought that Princeton did not do good work and that there were not men in its line-up able to leave Washington with the feeling that despite defeat they had acquitted them- selves as worthy sons of a distinguished institution. Especially is this true of Le Gendre, who last fall made a spe- cialty of knocking over halfbacks who started ambitiously around his end. As a running guard Le Gendre seemed in a class by himself, and his shooting and hard, fast play were big factors at all times. He scored eleven of his team's seventeen points and also was a big part of the defense. An account of the game would hard- 1y be worth while without some men- tion of the quick action of Referee Schlosser in preventing what probably would have been a mix-up with flying fists in evidence. Toward the end of the game, when things began to get a little rough, Le Gendre tripped Dunn, and Dunn rushed at Le Gendre in a way which made it apparent that there was only one intention in the C. U. man's mind. No other man was between Dunn and Le Gendre, but, Schlosser rushed across the floor, threw himself between the two men and jarred off Dunn for a sufficient time~ to allow other less-perturbed players to calm things. Schlosser's quick action saved a situation which might - have developed serious conse- quences, and the only results were a double foul, one against Le Gendre and one against Dunn.

TERRIER SHOW ENTRIES TO CLOSE WEDNESDAY Entries for the Boston terrier show to be held at the Wardman Park Hotel March 7 will close with S. J) Held, 2130 P street, next Wednesday evening. All terriers are eligible, as it is not required that they be pedi- greed or registered. Practically all of the Boston terriers which competed in the big New York show last week will be here. Included among them will be all of the cham- pions of that show, but they merely will be placed on exhibition, and wiil not compete for the prizes. All the prizes will be $500 bGVI‘ distributed. * The answer to both these projects is the importance—already v and still growing—of the Pennsylvania re- lays, which, according to recent an- nouncement, will be marked this year by the presence of a squad of French champions. The chances thus are that among all the 1921 track and field games the Penn relays will assume stature as one of the world's greatest meets, second only to the Olympic games. After last vear's attendance at the Penn relay races and the intercollegi- ates are compared it is seen that the relays had much the better of it.
