BILLIARD CHAMPION
Denverite Wrests Three-Cush'
ion Title From Alfredo De
Orc, the Cuban.

NEW YORK, January 13.-Fred Eames
of Denver is now the worlds three
cushion billiard champion. De ORC was
relieved of the Lambert trophy last night,
having been defeated in his championship
game after three-night play at fifty
points each night at McGraw's room.
The score was $50 to 1877. The final game
took 1 hour and 10 minutes, and lasted
for ninety-two innings
De Orc displayed his skill with the
worries just a little too late. The final
block last night was won by him by a
block he won.
night, and was cheered after nearly every
inning. Eames early in the game made
six scratches, which left DE Orc safe
and making 1t possible for him to get a
start In the latter part of the game
when Eames was away from the win
ming point De Orc, whenever he saw no
possible chance to make a carom, would
leave Games safe. De Orc would then
take the cue and make as many as he
he did six or seven times, and even
Referee McGraw thought that the Cuban S
tactics would win the match for him, but
it didn't. Games had the balls on the
rail when he was ~, and as cool as ever
he picked off the carom he was Shy.
The game started with Eames landing
a zero on the break. De Orc then got a
zero. Eames proceeded with six goose
eggs, but De Orc kept grabbing them off
at intervals. EameS tied the score, to .,
in the twelfth. and it remained that way
one inning. Then De Orc started to reap
a harvest, which he did, and in the TWEEN
ty-f1fth De Orc led by score of % to
10. The balls were frozen for De Orc
in the twenty-sixth, and the referee set
them up and De Orc scored.
In the thirty-sixth Eames tried an al
most impossible shot, and by kissing the
balls at the end he scored. De Orc
had something to say. about one OF
Eames' caroms in the thirty-eighth.
claiming that the cue ball did not hit
three cushions. The referee decided
against him. DE ORC played We'll with
the bridge, and with one of his twice
around-the-table strokes he scored his
fiftieth point in the sixtieth inning, win
ming the block. Games at this stage OF
the game had but 80.
The SiXtytirst inning started De Orc
off after the title, and from then on he
began to set traps for his. opponent
Nearly every time after this he left
Games safe, and when Games did score
he had hard time.
The game closed in the ninety-second
Games getting his required one after a
struggle of five innings. Eames made a

The score for each block was: Monday

Jimmy Collins Gives His Experience

Jimmy Collins, the famous old Boston
player. was manager of the Minneapolis
club last season in the American AS
ISOLATION and played through the season
of 16S games. Collins claims that for
that reason he was anxious to get away
from the Mllers. He will manage the
Providence Eastern League team next
season.
1.-The one unpleasant feature of my
stay in the American Association says
Collins, was the large number of games
played. Before the season was two-thirds
over many of the players were tired out
especially the pitchers. and l heard moth
ing but complaints, who felt they were
being overworked. To do their best play
ing the boys must have an appetite for
the game. If overworked they lose the
dash and staying powers necessary to
give the public a fair run for its money,
and in time the attendance is bound to
fall off. Champa gne without bubbles is
tame stuff. Base ball without ginger is

Opinions Favor Short Schedule.

Base ball men are much interested in
the discussion over a longer schedule
Outside Of the club owners, few seem to
favor the 16S-game idea. Fred Falken-
berg, the well known pitcher, gave sew
eral reasons yesterday why a longer sea-
son is not wanted. He said the long
schedule will proiong an already tire
somely protracted season; close the sea-
son SO late as to render a worlds series
either impossible or indecisive, through
cold weather; weaken interest in the
game in those cities where clubs are out
of the race after a few weeks have
passed and, most of all, fan slumbering
antagonism between the National and
American leagues, with possibility of
causing serious friction.
Manager Clark Griffith of the Cincin-
natl Reds has come out strongly against
the 16S-gaue schedule. Grit claims that
the players will lose interest and that
the games during the last week of the
season will be dreary affairs unless the
contestants are well up in the fight. Grit
fifth has about converted President Garry
Hermann of the Reds to his way Of
thinking.

.DREYFUSS ARGUES
FOR SHORT SEASON
Answers Ebbets by Saying He
Would Gladly Help Out the
Owner of a Losing Team.

PITTSBURG, January 13.-President
Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg club
hands it to President Ebbets of Brooklyn
by saying:
Il wish / were as sure that the Pirates
are going to win the pennant again as
my colleague. Mr.. Ebbets, seems to be.
1t is true that one of my strongest OBJ
jections to the proposed 16S-game sched-
ule is that it would interfere with the
worlds series, which | consider the eli
max of the season.
Il need not argue with Mr.. Ebbets to
convince him that the people demand a
worlds series. He attended every game
played in Detroit and Pittsburg last Dc
tober and rooted as hard for Pittsburg
as ! will gladly do for Brooklyn If it rep
resents the National League in similar
contest. He knows that the total attend
ance of 145,: s95 does not begin to include
all of the persons who are interested in
the struggle between the pennant win
ners of the rival leagues. He knows that
these series attract the attention of thou
sands of good citizens who would never
get the base ball habit otherwise.
Helps All Clubs.
Not only the winning team in each
league benefits through the world 8
series. There would have been little
business for the second division clubs
after July last year if the patrons
of base ball in the eight National League
cities had not been interested i'm the
struggle between Chicago, New York
and Pittsburg for the honor of repre-
senting the league in the worlds cham
piOnship event
Il had seven-year experience with
losing team. and have so much SYM
pathy for a club owner who finds him
self in that fix that l would vote for
any reasonable proposition that would
tighten his burden. But it is my hon
est opinion that the 16S-game season
would decrease rather than increase
the revenue of the second division
clubs.
But interference with the worlds
series is not my only objection to the
16S-game schedule. AS is we'll known, l
have for years opposed double, head
ers. / will not admit that the national
game is reduced to the necessity of
having to offer bargains to attract its
patrons
