They are capable, have brains and can shoot and pass accurately. Some may question the selection of MacCartee, and Romig, but Lewis, Goldblatt and Thompson were the foremost three in the series. Lewis rates as the most valuable player to his team, although he little overshadows Goldblatt in this quality. Thompson, the outstanding floor worker, was the best handler and neatest passer of any. Lewis the best all-around player, was an inspirational leader, whose aggressiveness encouraged his allies to greater deeds. He topped the individual scorers, yet excelled on the defense. Goldblatt was used at center and guard, but appeared better at the latter position. He had a peculiarity of chalking up points in the closing moments to win games and was exceptional on pivot and Mock plays. It might be argued that Teddy Cappelli, of Eastern, deserves the call over MacCartee or Thompson because he finished third in the scoring list. Cappelli also took more "shots" at the basket than MacCartee or Thompson and was not only far below his last year’s form, but unequal to MacCartee or Thompson as a team player. Assigning Clyde Romig, of Central, to the center post may also surprise, but this player was vastly underrated. He was used at forward, guard, and center and sacrificed. All-High distinction for his team's benefit. Romig was the best of a feeble crop of centers, although Freeman, of Western, and Phillips, of Eastern, showed symptoms of real class at times. Others deserving mention are Lester Singman, Business; Lucas, Business; Ken Fisher, Central, and Everett Johnson, Tech, as forwards; Herbie Thompson, of Western-Paul Brown, of Tech; Billy Wood, of Eastern, and Mike Hunt, of Western, as guards. GODFREY TO FIGHT NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—George Godfrey, negro heavyweight of Leiperville, Pa., and Jack Renault, Canadian battler, have signed for a 10-round bout at Havana on March 3, under the auspices of Humbert Fugazy, according to an announcement made public by the promoter today. FRANK HOGAN EARLY NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Frank Hogan, Gargantuan catcher of the New York Giants, will be the first member of the team to arrive at the training camp in San Antonio. He left here last night in solitary grandeur. THE WASHINGTON TIMES Right Hashed At New York —Al Singer, New-York featherweight, won from Bud Taylor, of Terre Haute, Ind., on foul, four rounds. Archie Beil, of Brooklyn, won decision over Joe icalfaro, New York, ten rounds. At Toronto — Corporal Izzy Schwartz, lightweight champion in New York State, won decision over Frenchy Belanger, Canadian champion, ten rounds. At Buffalo, N. Y.—K. O. Walik, of Lackawanna, won from Charley (Phil) Rosenberg, New York, on foul, five rounds. At New Orleans — Young Marullo, of New Orleans, knocked out Joe King, New Orleans light-heavyweight, four rounds. WALKER THIRST UNLIKELY CHICAGO. Feb. 9.—That a light heavyweight title match between Champion Tommy Loughran and Mickey Walker, ambitious middleweight titleholder, will be the opening attraction of Promoter Paddy Harmon’s new stadium here, appeared highly improbable today. Associates of Harmon scoffed at reports that negotiations for the bout had been concluded and that the date had been set for March 17. In the first place, it was pointed out, March 17 happens to fall on a Sunday, and in the second place no one knows just how soon the giant stadium will be ready for occupancy. Another bar to the fight at this time is the fact that Walker happens to be in the bad graces of the National Boxing Association, of which Illinois is a member. Paul Prehn, president of the N.B.A. and chairman of the Illinois commission, declared Walker is under suspension for failing to defend his title within the time set by the National Association. Bailey, Former Techite, On Penn U. Fresh Relay Bob Bailey, member of Coach (“Hap”) Hardell’s championship Tech High track team of last season, has clinched a berth on the freshman mile relay team of the University of Pennsylvania. He will carry the baton in the Meadowbrook games Tuesday in the Arena at Philadelphia. Another member of the Penn Freshman four is Bill McKnight, known to track fans here. DURABLE DUO Both Nat Holman and John Backman, professional basketball stars have played four games in one day with four different teams. Game Little Jap Near Long Sought Cue Crown NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—It begins to look as if Kinrey Matsuyama is going to visit that dear Japan again after all. The pint-sized Japanese star, who swears he will never go back to his native land until he can return in triumph with the 18.2 balkline billiard crown, went a long way toward realizing his life-long ambition last night when he won his third straight victory in the six-man tournament here. He increased his hold on first place by defeating Eric Hagen, the other dark horse in the tournament, in the closest match of the week, 400 to 355, in 13 innings. The roly-poly son of Nippon is the only undefeated player in the tournament. Tied for second place are Edouard Horemans, of Belgium, the defending champion, and Welker Cochran, of Hollywood, Calif. Each has won two games and lost one. Yesterday, Cochran handed Felix Grange, portly Frenchman and football of the tournament, his fourth straight defeat. Matsuyama can clinch the tournament by winning his two final matches, even though Horemans and Cochran win all their contests. One victory in two starts will give the Japanese at least a tie. Matsuyama’s excited countrymen living here, who take their billiards very seriously, declare that if he wins they will send him home on a battleship to receive the acclaim. Of all Japan. And even the skeptics, who has picked him to finish last, were willing to admit today that he stands an excellent chance of winning the $10,000 first prize and gold medal. The diminutive youth from the Orient has surmounted tremendous physical handicaps. He weighs only 92 pounds and is less than 5 feet in height. Looming only 27 inches above the table, he is great handicapped by his lack of reach and is forced often to play shots the wrong way. But his consummate skill and unquenchable fighting spirit enable him to triumph despite his physical disadvantages. Last night the mighty mite came from behind to win, overcoming the lead of 205 points. Hagenlacher ran 119 and 115 in the first two innings. The German's draw shots were perfect and his judgment impeccable. But the lion-hearted Japanese, playing steadily, registered runs of 61 and 110 in the ninth and tenth innings and ended the match in a blaze of glory with an unfinished run of 68, when the German apparently was on the verge of victory. It was sweet revenge for “Matsy,” who was nosed out of the title by Hagenlacher in Washington two years ago by a two-point margin. Hagenlacher plays Grange this afternoon and Horemans tackles Jake Schaefer, jr., tonight. The Matsuyama-Hagenlacher score by innings: Matjesuma—1. 4J. T. 44 j g j 61 11". " IS M; total, 400.

Standing of the players in  competition, but he and his doubles partner, Frank Hunter, plan to play in European tournaments again this year while the American zone competition is being held, according to an announcement made by Hunter in New York on Thursday. Hunter declared, however, that their services would be available if the United States team reached the finals and needed their help. "Big Bill" Is scheduled to play in an invitation indoor tournament starting in Brooklyn today. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1920 LACROSSE SCHEDULE OUT The Maryland University lacrosse twelfth which ran into the top in the college field last year, will engage in 11 contests this spring. The Terrapins open their season on March 30 against Randolph-Macon College at College Park and ends with Navy on June 1 at Annapolis. Other games have been arranged with New York University, Cornell, Hobart, Georgia Tech, St. John’s, Virginia, Army, Western Maryland, and Johns Hopkins. The Cornell, Hobart, Army, Navy, and Johns Hopkins matches will be played away from home. Johns Hopkins was formerly billed to invade Byrd Stadium, but the field is unfit and the game will be moved elsewhere, possibly to the Central High Stadium here. Other home contests, however, will be played on the lacrosse practice field. The College Parkers have lost four regulars and two reserves of the squad of 19 who made the trip to Amsterdam for the Olympics last summer. Wilbur Street, goal and 1928 captain, and Fred Linkous, out. Home, both All-American lacrosse choices; Slater Davidson, competent center, and Sam Ady, second attack, are the first-stringers whose brogans will be hard to fill. Herb Gorgas, attack, and Bunt Harrison, defense, are leading substitutes lost. Regulars available are Charlie Dodson, point; Gus Crothers, cover point; Al Heagy, first defense; Emmett Loane, second defense; Harry Wilson, third defense; Weller Holloway, first attack; Bill Evans, third attack, and Gerald “Snitz” Snyder, in home. Foremost of the reserves are Osmund Beck, center; Augie Roberts and Doug Smink, attack, and Jim Kelly and Bob Healy, defense. Nick Warcholy, Milly Price and Vincent Colishno, attack men, and Herbert Epstein, goal, are others from the 1928 squad who may give valuable service. Jeff Dix, center, and Jimmy Chapman, attack, who were ineligible last year, must be considered as varsity timber. Last year's freshman 12 will also offer several prospects. Although Linkous, Davidson and Ady will be missed, the loss of Streett is the severest blow to Coach Jack Faber, and is a problem. Kelly and Epstein are the leading candidates for Streett’s position. The team will have dual captains this year, Loane and Holloway being elected at the close of last year. Coach Jack Faber plans to start practice the latter part of next week. The schedule follows; March 30, Randolph-Macon, at College Park; April 1, New York University, at College Park; 13, Cornell, at Ithaca, N.Y.; 15, Hobart, at Geneva, N.Y.; 25, Georgia Tech at College Park; 27, St. John’s, at Annapolis, Md., or College Park; May 4, Virginia. At College Park: 11, Army, at West Point: 18, Western Maryland, at College Park: 25, Johns Hopkins, place undecided; June 1, Navy, at Ansonia, Md. Attendance Mark May Fall In Sunday Soccer Games With by far the two most important games coming up for decision since the playing of organized soccer in Washington, the local attendance record of 3,000 stands in grave danger of being eclipsed by at least one and, very possibly, by 2,000, if the weather man is the least bit kind tomorrow afternoon. The magnet for the fans is the double-header at the Monument Grounds between the British United and Concord elevens and the Arcadians, and Rockville. Just two weeks ago the British and Concord teams played a two-overtime period to tie in the elimination contest of the Washington and South Eastern District Soccer Associations' cup tie tourney. Tomorrow’s meeting means up and onward toward the title for one and down and out for the other. The Arcadians, too, are in a decisive game. By defeating Rockville they can tie them for the Capital City League’s soccer crown and possibly win it in the subsequent play-off. So important are these two games to the destinies of the respective contesting clubs that the other nine teams composing the Washington Soccer and Capital City Leagues are taking the day off to witness the fair of games. The amazing growth in the popularity of soccer in the Capital City is evidenced by the increased attendance at the games and the greater number of players taking part in the sport each year. In 1925, the Capital City League was organized with only four teams, and the players on all of the teams except the Monroes, now playing as the ‘Arcadians in the Capital City loop, were British, Scotch or German. Today the Capital League is composed of eight teams, while the Washington loop, started in the fall of 1927, has five clubs. Along with the increase in the number of the teams is the even larger development of native players. Nine teams of the two leagues boast rosters of American players only, as against one in 1925. Today there are only four teams of players of foreign birth, giving the home-grown products a net increase of eight teams to the solitary European addition. The most prolific breeding grounds for the local players are the playgrounds. Here the youngsters learn the fundamentals and add polish and finesse to their games so readily that they soon graduate into the leagues. Under the supervision of Tennyson, playground supervisor of Washington, there were 144 teams playing in the elementary school league and seven teams in the Junior high school circuit during the season just closed. Until this season, when they disbanded, the Waifords had made run-away races during their three years in the Washington Soccer League. With their players now distributed to the other elevens the race has been anything but an open and closed affair, and the “under-dog" Arcadians are given an even chance. A *of winning Sunday, thereby throwing the race into a tie. It is even a better race than in the Capital circuit with the British United, Concords and the Clan MacLennan all retaining a chance of copping the championship, with league activity suspended till next Sunday. All in all, Sunday appears as the climactic day in local soccer circles. And don't think the boys aren’t pulling for Old Sol to do his stuff. They know they’ll do theirs, and feel that they can surpass themselves if favored by a dry field. On the eve of the high-stake battles, quiet confidence reigns in all four camps. As promoters are wont to say, the games are "naturals" and should bring out not only a record crowd, but also the best soccer seen in these parts. Both games start at 2:30 o'clock on the Monument grounds. THIMER SOFT IN MIDDLE, NEW YORK, Feb. 9—Bud Taylor, blonde terror from Terre Haute, today said that he had been warned in Chicago that if he hit Al Singer in the body hard enough, the New York warrior would take the softest way out. With that, none too complimentary statement, the blonde mauler explained the sudden termination of the battle with blacklisted Al at Madison Square Garden last night. Singer was either knocked out by a left to the body, was fouled, or quit in the fourth round of a ten-round contest. “I knocked Singer out as clean and as fair as ever a fighter was knocked out,” said Taylor. At the beat him to a punch with a left hook that landed under the floating ribs on the right side. It was the same punch that Battling Nelson used against his opponents. “If I had hit him low with that particular punch, he would have gone to the hospital. I had everything in the world on it.” Tom Flynn, veteran judge, called the foul and stopped a fight that promised to wear along into one of the most sensational battles ever fought at the Garden. Patsy Haley, referee, saw no foul punch nor evidence of foul punch in examination in the dressing room. Births, Engagements, Marriages, Deaths, and In Memoriam appear daily in the last two columns.
