SCHAEFER TO RETIRE
AFTER TONIGHT'S MATCH

CHICAGO, March 11.-When Jake
Schaefer, the title holder, and
Willie Hoppe bank for the opening shot
in their 1871 balk line billiard cham
pionship match at Orchestra Hall to-
night the wizard of the cue'' will en-
ter championship competition for the
last time. He declares he will never
again take part in contests in which
q title is involved.
For years Schaefer has been in the
front rank among the worlds greatest
billiardists. He has won and held more
titles than any other man in his time.
Despite poor health, which has greatly
handicapped him in his matches in re-
cent years he mas hung on by sheer grit
when younger players were striving to
win his honors away from him.
Schaefer feels he has earned a rest.
For thlrty-f1ve years he has been cham
pion, off and on, at all styles of bill
iards, meeting the most brilliant stu
dents of an intricate game. He will
not quit the game entirely, as he is
too fond of it. On the contrary he will,
together with another expert of ma
tional reputation, start on a long exhi-
bition our that will cover several
States and last until May /.

This item appeared in II Philadel-
phia paper 1t sounds good:
1t was learned from an authoritative
source last night that Arthur A. Irwin,
who has signed to manage the Wash
ington Club of the newly organized
Union League, has practically agreed
on terms of salary with Tommy Leach,
one of the greate.- little players the
game ever produced, ana Ty cobb, last
years sensation in the American
League, who led the junior major or
ganization in hitting with an average
of $50. His fielding average vas .961.
Both Leach and Cobb are holding out
for more salary. the former having
persistently refused to sign with Pitts
burg until his salary demands are
satisfied. Cobb figured prominently in
public print recently by demanding a
yearly stipend of 5000 from the De-
troit management aud required a three
years agreement at that figure. Later
he signed to coach the University of
Georgia Baseball candidates, and is
now engaged in that work.
1t was impossible to confirm this
report from Mr.. Irwin last night. as
he could not be located. Mr.. Irwin is

tai city. There is every reason to be-
lieve that he has agreed on terms with
these two major league stars and h a
they viii report to him in this city
about April 1. There is no baseball
manager in America that knows the
value OF such players of n calibre
of Leach and Cobb as an advertising
medium in a new league, and these
two players can be depended upon to
play in Washington under him If they
do not later fix up the salary question
with their respective managements.
If Mr.. Irwin succeeds in signing
these two crack ball players he will
not attempt to surround them with
playersA of their standard, but depend
upon these two stars to make the back
bone of his team. With two good bat
teries and a good inhelder Irwin would
have Ct splendid nucleus for a strong
team right at the start. and could well
afford to pay these two men major
league salaries.

for big matches is too wearing on me

strain of fitting for a billiard match
nowadays, the uncertainty of the
money and other reasons are chiefly ac-
countable for my decision. I am going
to leave this struggle to younger men,
although l feel that today ] am as fit
as ever for competition with them. I
love the game and l like to play a
sharp match as we'll as the next man.
1t is not the actual contest that l
dread; it is the long-drawn-out prac-
tise and the attendant physical exer-
ton in conditioning for a big match.
"The game is harder than it used to
be, and / have made up my mind that,
win or ose with this younger Hoppe,
1t will be my last match. If / lose,
Hoppe may rest assured | never will
bother him again for the emblem or
