MAYER RALLIES TOO
LATE At BILLIARDS
Cuts Down Most of Poggen-
burg's Advantage, But
Is Beaten 400 to 383.

NEW YORK. February 14.-For the
fifth time since the opening of the
tournament at the Iiederkrantz Club
Joseph Mayer of Philadelphia was de-
feated yesterday in the 1872 balkline
competition for the amateur international
championship. Mayer made favorable
impression in his concluding match, but
lack of steadiness at the start enabled
his opponent, J. Ferdinand Poggenburg. to
gain a commanding lead. Toward the
close Mayer rallied strongly, but his eff
fort came a. bit too late, Poggenburg
winning by 400 to :;S3.
There was one period during the contest
when Mayer was SO far behind his rival
tina. few of the spectators believed he had
any chance for victory. In the sixteenth
inning the Philadelphan was worrying
along with an average of and total
of 1o2. while Pogsenburg had 2l6 on his
side of the score board Yet the contest
developed into the closest of the tourna-
ment. Mayors spur started in the thir-
tieth inning, when. with the score b. to
2l3 against him, he clicked off % points.
He followed with a count of p, and a
little later ran 81 and - in consecutive
innings.
Pogsenburg. who up to that point had
managed to tally on every trip to the
charged with four zeros in six chances
With II to go. however. Mayer left the
worries closely grouped along the lower
rail and Poggenburg reached his goal
with run OF 6.
For the first thirty innings Poggenburg
played steady. accurate billiards, that was
marked by an abundance OF successful
masses. He had high runs of II. % and
81 but a comparatively poor average of
10 1919.

That Ban Johnson violated one of the
rules of organized base ball when he
failed to appoint rules committee must
he conceded Simply because it was his
oninion that the rules did not require any
changes did not justify his failure to APP
point a committee to meet with similar
one from the National League to thrash
over the rules.
II is undoubtedly true that the rules do
not require any changes The game. as
now nlayed seems to suit the public. and
there is no occasion for reconstructlng
the code. But if the rules say that a
committee should be appointed by both
leagues to look after this work it should
be done, for it should be up to this body
to decide whether the rules are satisfac-
tory or not.

appoint committee when he says that
Johnson did not like his asking the fans
for suggestions.
This was a grandstand play on the part
of Murphy. He figured on making him
self more popular with the base ball pub

In fact. this play is quite spectacular

there is lot Of fuss being made about
nothing.
The reports that Cy Young would prob

seem to have decided the veteran to
make special effort to make good
showing this year. Old Cy does not be-

Not so Johnson. He first shows that
he is sincere about his work. and thus
