HOLY CROSS TEAM
 TO PLAY ST. LOUIS
Crack Massachusetts Foot ball Eleven Will Meet Westerners Next Thanks giving.

Holy Cross football team will make one of the longest trips of it's history to play a game next season, when it will journey to St. Louis to play the University of St. Louis team on Thanksgiving day. Arrangements for for some time were comp p'eted yes 'er- day by Thomas J. Faherty. graduate manag ger of athletics. Faherty had some trouble at first in completing plars for the game, as W. M. Bates, head Of athletics in the University of St. Louis, was figuring on Syracuse 70 play that date, but after consideration the faculty of the western college de- cided that the wearers of the purple would be a fine drawing card and booked the game
 The University of St. Louis is con s'dered the strongest Catholic col ege in the west and Holy Cross has the same distinction in the east. This makes. the game far more interesting, and it will decide the champiorshin of the Catholic colleges on the grid ron.
 Never before in the history of the college 'has one of it's football teams undertaken such trip and there is the east will get as far as St. Louis next season. Syracuse was the only team to travel to the edge Of the Mis- s'ssinpi river last year, and pla yed the University of St. Louis. The Syra- cuse-St. Louis game ended in a tie, each team having six points to its credit. The New York state team was considered one of the fastest in the country last season, and if St. Louis can hold such team to a tie, the Mt. St. James boys will have to go to the west with the hest eleven western game will be the last of the season.

ROUDIL STARTS WELL FOR
 BILLIARD CHAMPIONSHIP
FrencIman Causes Surprise By Easily
 Defeating Charles F. Conklin.

Edouard Roudil, the amateur biI- Hard champion of Europe, won his first game in the international 1S.2 halk line championship tournament at the Liederkranz Club, New York. yes- terday by defeating Charles F. Conk- lin of Chicago, the winner of the. title last year. The score was 400 points to 371. RoudiI for the first half of his string held to an average that shaded 20. Then he lost his stroke for while probably from fatigue, and ended with an average of 22-42. and high runs of 63 52 and 36. Conklin's 8 average was g 2-41, with high runs of so, 43 and 24.
 The facility with which the French, man made the counts, especially in his opening innings. surprised the crowd. In one feature he differed from any of the Americans in that he kept the balls rambling all over the table during his larger sized runs. When he made use of the short table method his systematic use of the cushions and the manner in which he kept the ivor- ies entwining the lines from one chalked square to the other bespoke the work of master. His single cushion shots by which he threw the red ball up and down the table to con trol position were distinctly a Euro pean innovation.

Billy Marchant of England. made an suspicious debut as a boxer at the National Sporting club last night by gaining a clean-cut victory over Louis De Ponthieu of France. The British Lion twisted the feathers out of the French Eagle in eight out of the ten rounds. Marchant entered the ring weighing 122 hounds and De Ponthieu 131 1-2 pounds.
 It was a clean. fast bout. with Mar chant doing the greater share of the leading and landing. He had an eff fective right cross and uppercut that shook De Ponthieu to his heels many times.
 But try as he would and as hard as he could he was unable to knock out the sturdy Frenchman, who put up a great uphill battle.

 The announcement came from an authoritative source. Magnates in both the American and National leagues probably will deny it for policy's sake. Nevertheless it is true It is a blow at the "upstarts'' behind more than that-it is an admission that baseball pays better in cities hay ing two teams than in those possess ing but one.
 Big league owners in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Detroit fig ure that it is Senseless to have their expensive new ball parks idle for all most three hundred days every year They have come to the conclusion that a city of any size should be able to support baseball every day during CT conditions make the game possi- ble. So the American Association is going to have four more clubs, prob ably in 1913, and they are going to with the consent of the major leagues.
 It is impossible at the present time to name the owners of the new clubs They will be men who have served the game faithfully and are deservins of good jobs" St Louis and Chi cago will be left as they are. They have continuous baseball now in the baseball sea son. and Presidents Com iskey and Murphy are well satisfied with present conditions.
 But Frank Navin at Detroit. Garry Gerrmann at Cincinnati.

 Edward Williams, known to the New Haven baseball fans as Indian Williams, the redskin outhelder will not play with the New Haven team in the coming season. The Indian, like all the others of his race, has no Hk- ing for the narrow confines of the East, and in a strong letter to Gamer on, manager Of the White Wings, expresses his desire to stay in he West. So strong is his desire to stay that he has written a letter in which he offers to purchase his release out right.
 Cameron stated yesterday that he will sell Williams his release The Indian is a good outfeFder but is Rot a good uti ity man. In a recent let ter from him it is indicated that he has the pitching bug" He says that he has developed into a fine pitcher but in this line of work he has no chance on the New Haven team.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

President Farrell of the National as- sociation had an amusing letter from a ball player. The latter wrote to this effect: There were eighteen days pay coming to me, at least I thought there was, but the club almost convinced me that I had been paid in flu l. The next year I thought I had nine more days pay coming than I received, but again I was shown where I was wrong. Here was twenty-seven days I was wrong about, and if possible I should like to get my release from this Christian Science League"

 "A ball player who doesn't want more money is a curiosity" declares Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pirates ''It doesn't make any difference how much salary star receives.

It requires much patience and argument to convince them that such is not the case. The task of signing thirty D ayers each year is not a cinch. It grates on the nerves and makes one peevish.
