HENRY SCHWARTZ 1 nEPLIES T0 USILTON I To tha E'dlfor of Evening Ledger: Sir la lut Monday's paper I And a very 1 unfair article about Mr, bate, referee of the I batketball game between Centra! aod Houth I J-tilladelphU Illlli Kchooli.

Lat Tuesday, when the South I'lilladel- Bhla JIIh School defeated the Central lllsh Saehsal by the acers of 19 to 18, a ery went 1 ttci that Mr. riaxe Ma unfair. It appears aather queer that Mr, Vsllton, coach of the Ceatral Hlxh School, should raise such a err. To the public it appear that Mr, I'sll- toft la a cheap sport and cannot take defeat la the right maimer. It appear that four itefeats In a row 1 rathur a hard pill for lm to swallow.

TN !lfirlff vctm MrtaotMt pr T 4. Cie Imaaeltat naHnrx plllu!rr to h Or C A E. Cod- ur t'. K Hale prefer thfct, Is coming to Philadel phia. Perhaps this Information conveys tittle to the followers of sports In this city, hut soon after Herr Getz or Count Gen gler arrives hero every bowler nnd fan In the city will realize Just whnt It means, detz, who has been known ns Gengler In the Inst three cltlc he visited, Is said to be one of the most remarkable 'money bowlers" In tho history of the game. Ho claims to be a neUinn count, who cahic to this country JuU nftcr the war broke out In Europe. Whether this Is so, cannot be proved, but the fact remains that no one appears to know nnythlng about him and he won't tell. However, It Is enough to sny that he has trimmed every star bowler In the country who has met him In n match game where a large side bet was the Incentive. Gengler first turned up In Washington bIx months ago. He frequented the large bowling alleys nnd billiard halls, nnd Boon became ncqualntcd with the stars at both games. He sgrced to plnco n small wager Hint he could defenjt any opponent who happened along. Ho had plenty of money, and seemed to enjoy spending It nt nn alnrmlng rate. He lost heavily for a few weeks, nnd the word was passed nbout that he was an excellent "captain." Darlcy WlnB From Star Bowler All tho star bowlors became Interested In Gengler, nnd finally they lined him up for a largo wngcr against one of the very best bowlers in the cnpltal. Getz, ns ho was known In Washington, Just mnnaged to win. Tho fans who had bet believed the mysterious stranger wns lucky, so h" wns matched against the champion of the city on the chnmplon's home alleys. It looked Ilka n good time for the sports to reap n harvest, so they got down nenvlly. According to the Washington Post, at least $3000 wns bet on tho match. The result astonished the fnns. 'Getz won ns ho pleased, nnd rolled some wonderful games. Then ho agreed to give pins to the best bowlers In Washington Many bets were made, Getz winning them all. Then he suddenly tllsnppcnrcd. Detroit wns tho scene of his next activ ities, but he soon departed without caus ing much comment. Chicago wns next In line, and Gengler, ns he was known In that city, reaped n harvost. Among those who fell before tho nclglnn marvel were "Pop" Blouln nnd "Bob" Itolfe, two bowlers known from coast to const. Tho frames were rolled on Dlouin's Allevs. nnd naturally tho Windy City followers of bowling wngerca all they had on Chi cago's two best bowlers. Turns Up in Cleveland The mysterious wonder turned up In Cleveland last week, where he defeated Boy Grlcbcl, champion of the city. In a 23-gnme match for a large wager. This match was merely a side Issue to the numerous sweepstakes and special matches which Gengler won with case. The Clevelnndors were very much peeved at the failure of their homo talent to de feat Genglor, so thoy matched him with nn unknown for $1000 a side, best out of SO games. Gengler deposited his money, but then Insisted on knowing the name of tho un known. Finally tho matchmakers ad mitted that they were going to send to New York for Jimmy Smith, recognized aa the greatest bowler In the land. In stead of trying to hedge Gengler Insisted thnt the wager be raised to $5000 a side. The amazed Cleveland sports do not know where they stand now, because they havo great respect for the way Gengler makes his bets. The match Is still hang ing fire. Meanwhile Gengler announces that he Is going to depart for Buffalo to look the bowlers over, nnd will then come to Philadelphia. Several local bowlers havo larger averages on their home alleys In special matches than nnythlng Gengler showed In his Inst matches In Chicago and In nil contests In Cleveland, nnd he may meet his nemesis In this city. Tho Washington Post fins tho following to say about Herr Getz, or Gengler, whichever you prefer: "Those who were fortunate enough to wntch 'Herr Getz,' the 'unknown,' bowl when he dropped Into tho capital Incog nito Inst winter nnd caused a sensation by trimming the pick of the town on the alleys, will take Interest In the following nrtlclo from a Detroit newspnper nnd dated from Chicago: " 'Who wns ho? " 'Ho wns whnt the best Bcllcr writers call debonnlr; ho admitted he was a count; Chlcngo bowlers admit he was some bowler; nnd ho ndmlttcd ho mado money In Chicago. " 'Sufllco say he wbb a slicker. Arriv ing In Chicago, he began to frequent the bowling nlleys nnd billiard halls. Ho carried a cano, flashed n cow-choking roll nnd nlways Insisted on busing for every body In the plnco. Some boy, him I These foreigners certainty know how to be po lite! " 'Then rcmnrklng on his own ability In the pin-toppling gnme, he nould chanco to mnko n fow wagers for, well, say, J10O a ball, He would lose once or twice nnd then win; and when tho toun boy com menced to check up tho profit was on tho wrong side of tho ledger. " 'At Btouln's Blue Islnnd alleys soverat of our best bowlers, Including Pop Blouln and Bob Rolfc, rolled ngalnst the count. As gossip around the city tournament n fow dnys ngo hnd It, they quit plenty behind. " "The, "count" mndc tho rounds of tho bowling centres In n big nuto and kidded tho Blurs Into bowling, Ho lost until tho bets got big, nnd then on strango nlleys, with n strnnge ball, mannged to win from the best kindling topplers this city can boast. He also picked up a roll by his billiard ptnylng nnd non one bet of $100 In a shooting gnllcry that Is known of. It Is asserted that the mysterious ona cleaned up $7000 hero in a fow evenings of sport.' " ENGLISH WILL RESUME TRACK SPORTS THIS YEAR W. G. George Tells of Inter est Abroad in Athletics in Spite of War ATHLETES AT THE FRONT That the English track nnd field cham pionship will he resumed this year nnti thnt other sports will be patrorilzed Is the feeling Just now. Whnt has partly en couraged the belief that athletics will come In for some of the former nttcntlon sprnng from tho fact thnt tho recent cross-country mce for tho Aldcrshot Com mand attracted the enormous string of 610 starters. Boccor football, skating and other win ter sports hnve been continued to an ex tent which presages favorably for tho future. W. G. George, of 4:12)i fame, In n. letter to an American, tells somo In teresting Items of English sport when ho sass: "So we aro to havo tho omatcur chnmplonshlps this year, and already the go-)slpcrs havo ben talking of somo crnck visitors from the States. They will bo welcome, of course, ns they nlways are, for they are suro to creato n stir. It will be quite an easy matter to tako awny somo of our championships now, for the best of our mn ftra engared In the war business. Those whd are not drill ing or In the trenches are engaged In the munition factories. Old Grounds Gone "During the week I had occasion to visit Sheffield and, of course, 1 could not come nwny without n peep nt the old running grounds so long famous over the professional sprints. It Is thirty years alnrn T wrta nrirnr nt the final of Tat- tersali'a third hnndlcnp, and this city, which then know nothing more vicious than the manufacture of razors, knives nnd scissors, Is today the home of shells nnd bombs. I Inquired of a policeman If he could direct me to tho old running grounds, where I might find some of the supporters of tho sprinting game, but he answered that the grounds were gone nnd that the men who supported them wero dend. Athletes at Front "Most people versed In tho Olympiads will remember B. 13. D. Anderson, of Cambridge University, who carried the Light Blue against Oxford In the Intor varslty more than once. Ho was a mem ber of the Cngllsh team to Stockholm in 1912, but he tailed to score successfully. He had gained tho title of captain In one of our fighting rcgllnents, but tho poor fellow met his death not long since In tha Dardanelles. .Inck Hatfield, holder of several English nnd world's swimming records, Is on the firing front nt the Dar danelles, and Is yet In tho land of tho living."
