CATION PRAISED

Friends of Marcus Cation, the local
boy who has been making a name for
himself in the billiard world during
the past year, will be pleased to hear
of his success II the west. Recently
he went with Jake Schafer, Jr., to
Denver, where an all summer stay will
be made by the boys. During that
time they will appear at various par
lors in Denver and other nearby cit
les.
The Denver News had the following
to say of the lads shortly after their
arrival:
Young Jake Schafer and Marcus
Cation, the youthful billiardists who
play tonight at Tortoni's billiard par
lors, have been the cause of lot of
talk as to whether they would be in the
same class with the best of the pres
ent-day players, or in their fathers
class. Following in the footsteps of
their sires, these two boys, who are
only II years of age, bid fair to estab-
Esh a record as sensational as their
fathers. They have shown so much
class in the short time they have been
! playing the game that there is no
doubt they will equal, if not surpass,
the billiards shown by any expert the
world has even known, not barring
Willie Hoppe or their wonderful pat
ers.

, II is news TO the average baseball
fan and TO the general public too for
that matter that there are at present
just an even dozen female baseball
teams in the world. The fact is ad-
mitted, however, by the managers of
the Boston Bloomer girls who are to
play at Island City park Sunday after
noon. Nevertheless there is Just one
original team of Boston Boomers, and
that is admitted by the baseball fans.
That team is the one that will cavort
on the local diamond.
Advance Manager Robert Halcott
says modestly Of his team: I'VE have
the greatest female ball players in the
world. They are the pick of the u
teams that are playing the game. They
come from all parts OF the country, de-
