Billiard Champion Declares the Correct Style of
Holding Cue and Making Stroke Is First
Thing to Work For

learned carly in the players career,
because it is difficult, II not impos-
sible, to eradicate peculiarities and
mannerisms that once become fastened
on a player.
The first thing that a young player
should be taught is how to bridge
correctly, as faulty manner of hold
ing the cue is calculated TO render
ineffective the efforts of a man who
would otherwise perform very credi-
tably. In my opinion. the natural
method is the best. Lay the left hand
on the table so as to form an arch
and give steadiness. Then raise the
thumb. making a crotch between 1t
and the first finger. in which the cue
is rested. Take the butt of the cue
lightly In the fingers, but do not close
the hand tightly on it. In preparing
for the stroke move the cue back and
forward few times to make sure
that there Is a free movement. There
should be supple movement of the
wrist, as any rigidity of the wrist or
forearm Is sure to Interfere with the
stroke and destroy its accuracy
AS to stroke, every player must use
his natural one. 1t is a serious error
to copy the stroke of another player.

al steeple Chase and Hunt Associa-
ton and the Hunts committee. 1t was
agreed to amend the rules so as to

three-year-olds nre permitted to run
in cross country races In July. UP to
the adoption of the rule here three
:year-olds could not race the jumps un-
til October.
The new rule will make market for
horses which are somewhat outclassed

MAPS MUST WORK HARD

Cleveland, Ohio. February TO-
Manager James Mcclure Is no prophet.
He admits 1t. Rather than try to
predict where the Maps or any other
American League club will finish he
will carry bats for Cleveland this
year.
None OF that doping the winners
for me-" said Mcclure yesterday. II
never knew man yet that made a
prediction In the spring and really
was willing to back his prediction
with the cash. You simply can't do
1t, and the baseball manager of to-day
generally leaves the prophet business
to the baseball writer's. The trouble
is that with SO many good young
sters being developed In the minor
leagues each year you cannot tell Just
how strong big league club Is going
to be until you have seen 1t under fire
for month or so.
II remember year ago thought
1t was cinch that Cleveland would
be the club to chase the Tigers to
the wire. We had finished only half
game behind Detroit the fall before,
and as we figured that we strength
ened in the weak spots II looked like a
, snfe bet to pick the Maps to finish,
< one, two. Please forget to tell mo
where we did finish. Then there were
Philadelphia and Boston. Most of us
would-be prophets 'doped' them TO
finish In the second division. Bum

You zee. we had no reason TO ex.
pect that Collins was going to prove
such whirlwind at the bat, on the
bases and on the field. We had no
reason to expect that Baker would
turn out to he such corking good
third baseman. nor did we have any.
