There should be changes in the
rules to make the game more
open and give the lighter men q
chance" He also believes that the
colleges of the country could increase
the number of their sports proftably;
games in which lightweight students
excluded from participating in football
could take part. In the matter OF the
variety of sports eastern colleges are
better off that those of the west.
There a number of the larger institu-
lions possess cricket, lacrosse and
hockey teams in addition to the stand
ard sports of baseball, football and
track athletics. Association football is
being introduced at several universities
and doubtless will spread in the west.
Cricket hardly can hope to compete
with baseball, but lacrosse and Ice
hockey, with their quick action, surely
would take hold in the west If once
started. The dyed-in-the-wool crank
can see nothing but his own particu-
lar sport, but after all, the fascina-
ton of many an athlete for some par
ticular branch of sport is the out
come of examples placed before him
as a youngster. He rows, swims,
shoots. bowls, plays football, lacrosse,
baseball, hockey or golf from force
of example. All true sport is good
and the greater the variety the
better.

combination of pool and billiards, Of
which John Roberts is the leading ex-
ponent. Schaefer, the worlds cham
pion, is about 55 years old, and prob
ably has seen his best days. Willie
Hoppe is universally regarded as the
coming American player. He Is only
81. He challenged Slosson recently.
Experts like De Orc, the worlds pool
champion, don't think that Hoppe can
beat either Slosson or Schaefer, but
they acknowledge that it will be only
short while before the boy is able
to hold them all safe. Hoppe began
handling cue when ten years old in
his fathers billiard and pool room in

billiards and is now good for runs of

to Paris to try and clinch match with
the Frenchman. All the experts admit
that within five years Hoppe will be
champion of them all. Schaefer first
attracted attention in billiards in the
eighties, and was the worlds cham
pion, having defeated Maurice Vignaux
and George Slosson for the title, until
Frank Ives wrested the championship
from him IL years ago. Ives, known as
Young Napoleon" was one of the
most versatile performers in the his
tory of the sport. Starting out as

as roller skater and then took to

fer to the front again, and he has been
the acknowledged champion for the
last ten years, defending his title sue
cessfully the last time in 3,000-point

Louis Cure, a Frenchman, considered
the speediest of the young players.
Cure is only 26 years old. He has
only IL points to go in his match with
Schaefer when the American ran the
game out with Ga. Maurice Vignaux, a
French player, who is now So years
old, won championship when he was
26. He now holds the 1871 and 1872

clouds of smoke and dust gushing from
its mouth. Mothers, children and
other relatives were soon weeping and
pleading for the rescue of those dear
to them entombed in the mine. The
officials of the mine were soon on the
scene. The dead miners thus far re-
covered are all Italians and Hungar-
ians. The company usually work in
this shaft about seyenty-five miners,
but it being Sunday the men were not
all in and the small loss of life can be
attributed only to this fact. The Unit

cipal Offices in Pittsburg Pa, is part

not as yet been determined.
