Historic Bets on American ‘tesa ‘eset “Pittsburgh Phil’ Won First Big Bet on Cadmus, a 40 to 1 Shot. ) The following is the third of a series of articles on big bets made on the American turf. Another story on how ‘‘Pittsburgh Phil’ won $250,000 ‘on a $1,500 horse will be printed on these pages to-morrow. eo eee EORGE E SMITH, _ better known as “Pittsburgh Phil," left two millions he had amassed by racetrack speculation. He ‘was a consistent winner and probably the only operator ameng the piungers to quit a winner. Smith was a cork, cutter in Pitts burgh, his home town, earning $8 a week. He began betting in the pool- rooms and was successful from the start. When he had accumulated $2,500 he left the cork factory. He and hig brother, Willlam, went to Chi- cago und from that day were insepa- rable. They were opposite types, William being big, easy going and un- = ean of emotiona!, and George thin, nervous 2. nd irritable. William served as the 1d betting commissioner, and later, after “pittsburgh Phil" had acgumulated $50,000 and a stable, he became the trainer. 1c 3 William had a gentus for condition- ne ing horses. His brother picked the “i yunners, but William had to send of them to the post At to win, He always had them ready at the appointed timo en fv, to do their best. And it was on the of only horse William ever owned that v4 his brother, George, won the greatest amount of money ever earned for him by a single racer.

FAMOUS 2D BASEMAN ALREADY PROPERTY OF YANKS, SAYS REPORT _ EDDIE COLLINS SWIMMING POOL; Boxing Again Barred by Athletic ~Body—Football Dates Are Approved. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Deo. 13.—Har- vard will have no golf course in the near future unless the Crimson’s Ath- letic Committee changes Its mind, The committee has just reported being against the proposition to bulld or pur- chase a cour for the use of the students, this mainly because of the ex- pense involved. A special committee has, been looking over several courses, but none made an appeal. The Athletic Committee also reiterated its 1921 opinion that boxing should not be added to the list of inter- collegiate sports, so the sparring team will not be able to hold meets with Yale and Princeton as had been planned. Rhode Istand State College was added to the Crimson’s football list for 1923 to-day, the date alloted belng Oct. 6. ,Tais completes the Crimson’s schedule for next fall, the other games being Oct. 13, Middlebury; Oct. 20, Holy Cross; Oct 27, Dartmouth; Nov. 3, Tufts; Nov. 10, Princeton, at Princeton; Nov. 17, Brown; Nov, 24, Yale, Six football players who did good work for the eleven this fall, but who did not get a chance to play againat Yale were awarded thelr yarsity foot- ball Ictters, The lucky players are J. M, Hartley, W. H. Churchill, P. W. Co- burn, H. S. Grew, W. V. Miller and F. Roulllard. Lawn tennis’ letters were awarded to Karl Pfaffmann, Morris Duane and W. W.

From still another source it was learned that Kid Gleason, manager of the White Sox, would consider any trade that did not involve a pitcher apd that Sam Jones was the one he wanted. Perhaps he would be content Glindo, Lew Weir, Silver Fox, Azra, Speculation, Beau Brummel and two or three others were down to start. The public backed Lew Weir and Galindo, but Smith and his commis- sioners forced the price on Cadmus from 40 to 1 down to 8 tol.

Professional authorities on athletics¢—————— agree that sports of all kinds for the public's participation are increasing throughout America, and that hand- ball is one of the most popular. Harry J. Kelton, owner of the pub- Hc courts, where the Metropolitan hand-ball tournament has been held for three years, near Columbus Circle, estimates the increase In the game on his five courts at 100 per cent, three years ago, 250 per cent. two years ago, and 300 per cent. last year. Some handball fans play on these courts In bathing suits, with snow on the ground, On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays people are turned away. After 2 o'clock dafly the courts are nearly always all filled. The clien- tele are business men, actors, and, this time of year, tennis enthustasts who want to keep fit and thelr eye in training. Vincent Richards, the ‘outhful tennis champion, plays hand- ball in preference to indoor tennis during the winter because of the bad light and air indoors. COLLEGE STUDENTS FLOCK TO HANDBALL COURTS. At colleges more students than ever, and often the faculty and coaches, are flocking to handball courts In the gyms because of the convenience of a hearty exercise in the minimum of time.

FIRST “TOURNAMENT HELD HERE THREE YEARS AGO. Three years ago the first metropoli- tan tournament was held unrecognized by the A. A. U. For the past two years the annual handball tournament has been under the auspices of the A. A. U, So many entries applied this year that the limited number of 140 was filled several days before the tournament began, Handball originated in Europe and is frequently played in Cuba. But Americans have built up a game of their own, taking parts from the other handball methods and mixing a bit of squash tennis and creating what seems to be the fairest game of them all. There is a court laid off in lines like half of a tennis court. The ball is served by slapping with the hand against the high backstop at the end of the court from the line nearest the backstop, If the player fails to hit the ball against the backstop in a certain marked area he loses a point. Either hand should be used, speed and accuracy being the chief requirements for success. Special gloves are made to protect the hands. Some courts have just the one wall of the backstop, others have two walls against which the ball may be per- mitted to bounce before being re- turned, some three walls, and even four. The latter ts, the old Irish game. Prisefighters were the first to use the sport for training their eyes and because of the hard exercise resulting from a fast game.

Tentative dates have been set for Jan. 8, 9, 10 and 11, It is the intention to roll this contest at the Bensinger Alleys in Chicago. These are the famous ‘Health Fac- tories," and these drives have the largest seating capacity in Chicago. Blouin has already deposited his $260 with Mr. Luby ,of Chicago and Joe Falcaro will arrange to do likewise as soon as the further detaila are taken care of.

Tho Original Celtics are scheduled to meet the famous Jasper Club of Philadelphia next Sunday night at Madison Square Garden. The Jasper Club is one of the best known basket- ball quintets in the East and the players, who are among the most pop- ular and fastest men in the game, have been playing very consistently this season, Philadelphia is represented in the basketball world by several teams, but to the Jasper Club is assigned the task of defeating the best teams in the country. In view of the good record which that club holds in the Quaker City, the Jaspers’ chances against the world's champions appear no less than even. A novelty in basketball will be of- fered the fans on Sunday, Dec. 24, when the fun producers of big league baseball make an attempt at dragging the Ceitics down to the dregs of de- feat. Probably, Nick Altrock, who fs known wherever baseball is played, might better describe the chances of the champions against his All-Stars as equal to those which Mr. Ruth would have of clouting a four bag- ger with Nick pitching. But Eddie Holly, who manages tho basketball comedians, harbors aspirn- tions and beliefs that his team will surprise someone when they oppese the title holders. ‘The boys not only offer more amusement than is gener- ally offered at,basketball contests, bu’ they handle tho ball like old-timers. ‘The statement is encouraging, but whether or not one could be justified in accepting it as the bitter truth, is more than is known. However, there {s no doubt that Nick Altrock and Al Schacht will offer enough amusement to make the game a success. They will probably stage their famous frankfurter dance. Jim Furey of the Celtics is warned to be on the alert when his team meets the All-Stars. Nick will doubtless try to ring in a collapsible rubber basketball which he can shoot whenever his opponents are not in his immediate vicinity. Inwood Girls, who are still In a position to retain their claims on the tit!e for girls’ teams in view of thelr continual victories, play the Morning- side Girls on Sunday in the prelimin- ary game at Madison Square Garde: Sunset Big Five meets the Glen Cove Quintet to-night at Glen Cove, L. I. Stretch Milligan, Knetz, Dantet- aon, Buffey and Vollmer constitute the Sunset team. Hancyo Girls’ Basketball Five have defeated this season St. Nicholas, Tre- mont Girls, St. John's, and the Tene- ment House Girls. The lineup of Grace and Gladys Rutherford, Ruth Sutherland, Hazel Rutherford and Mae McIiveen is one of the best in the city. A game with the Inwood Girls for the title may be arranged in the near future. > ROWING CHAMPIONS / QUIT VESPER CLUB PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.—Eleven members of the Vesper Boat Club, in- cluding Paul V.
