Bad Weather win Prohibit Central,
Association Teams From Getting
In Shape by Playing Time.

A question has arisen within the
last few days in regard to the clubs
of the Central Association having
more than the stipulated number OF
men at the opening of the season.
The weather has been such and
promises to continue so that the man
ayers will not have the necessary
time to look over their men if they
must reduce the list by May l.. Many
OF them contend that they will have to
build up new teams with absolutely
new men. without the opportunity OF

QUEISSER MADE
A BAD BET ONCE
Stranger Takes Indian Chief Into
Camp When He Objects to Hav-
ing His in Kelly Pool Game.

Over in Danville, Queisser, the new
manager of the Indians, Is consider
ed some pool shark and is much re-
spected person around LeSeure's
cigar store and billiard parlor.
Last winter shortly before Christ
mas he was one of the added starters
in the regular Kelly pool games that
are features of the place when big
husky looking chap walked in and
calmly selected cue from the rack
and asked for a pea ball Queisser
evidently did not like the strangers
with the soft that he considered his
by right of previous acquaintance, for
he at once made yell that the game
was not an open one. The new COM
er took exception to this and after a
few hot words between the two re-
marked Why. you big dub, ! can
beat you at this game with one hand"
WELL said the big chief; I'm so
sure you can't that I'm willing to
make little bet of around ten seeds
that you have made bad suggestion"
You're on" was all the stranger
said, but proceeded to chalk his cue.
The Kelley game was deserted and
everyone made their way to the table
where the boy had racked the balls
and was waiting to see the game.
Queisser broke the balls and pocket
ed three, leaving his opponent at the
far end of the table, frozen against
the rail- He picked up his cue and
resting the butt of it against his
shoulder played a perfect safety. Art
in his turn made nine balls, raising
sidered a. safe lead. The stranger
walked around the table, sighted a
minute and lifting his cue again, gave
mighty shove and executed a perfect
kiss shot and the cue ball returning,
scattered the balls all over the table.
One by one he ran the rack out,
sometimes straight shots and some
times combinations. Nothing seemed
to bother him AS the balls were
spotted Art locked around, his eyes
filed with Amusement and gurgled
That old boy didn't make such a bad
bet, either, did he?" From this time
on the shark was never headed and
ran the balance of the 25 balls without
sany trouble. AS he finished Queisser
hung up his que and said: "All
right, old kid. you can have these
kicks now, You win AS he walked
out he was heard to murmur: That's
hard luck. Here was thirty-one dol

Frank Mantell got the decision over
Jack Herrick this afternoon after
twenty rounds of hard fighting at
Vernon. Mantell will be matched to
fight Frank Klaus for the middle
weight championship.
Mantell excelled in infghting and
won largely because of the poor
Judgment of Herrick who continually
rushed into him and tried to outslug
him. Herrick's only chance lay in
long range fighting and he failed to
adopt the tactics that might have won.
Herrick took terrific punishment
gamely. The fight lacked class, one
of the bad features being Mantells

very slow, about IS seconds and for
that reason could not be used to

plenty of material in the school, even
