EXCITING FINISH
TO BILLIARD MATCH
Wordy Duel Follows Defeat of
Weston by De 0ro-Three
Tied for Lead.

PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-By his vic
tory last night over Cowboy Weston
of Chicago, De ORC tied with Ralph of
Hightstown, N. j., and Nature Of Den
yer for the lead in the tournament for
the pocket billiard championship being
played this week at Horticultural Hail.
The largest gallery that has turned out
for this series of championship games
was present last night. Weston scored a
total of la points before his opponent
ran $50.
Lively recriminations between the play
ers marred an otherwise clean game.
Weston took his defeat with i'll grace
and declined to shake hands with the
New York player. The crowd surged
close to the table and for a few minutes
it looked as though the pair might come
to blows while a personal difference was
being aired.
De ORC took the lead at the start and
was not headed. After the New Yorker
had passed 100 points Weston came back
strong and made one run of q points.

TO teach Carl Cashion a curve ball and
control comes in the nature of a surprise
1t has been the impression that when 1t
came to developing pitchers Griffith stood
In a class by himself. having been one
or the recognized artists of the profess
sion for many years. The chances are
that plenty OF practice will gradually
improve Cashion. The fact should not be
overlooked that last year was the first
Cashion ever attempted the pitching job.
and one year is hardly enough to develop
young pitcher into a major league
star There is no reason for being dis
appointed about Cashion. He has inn
proved a whole lot and he is sure to
grow better as the season progresses.
But few of the teams which were sue
cessful in the last campaign will make
any changes in their line-ups this sea-
son. The two champions-Giants and
Athletics-will virtually present the same
teams which fought i'm the worlds series
last season. Teams which win pennants
are usually entitled to another trial.
1t looks like taking a long chance 10
make any changes i'm them, and McGraw
and Mack seem to agree on that point.
Detroit. when it gets down to real work,
will not have made many changes. There
may be new outfelder. but further than
that there are not apt to be any new
faces barring those which will appear
on the pitching staff.
Cleveland will probably have the most
new men in the lineup. for Davis wants
to make his outfield stronger. and Ryan,
the Pacific coast slugger. seems slated for
Birminghams job. With the White Sox,
who were not a bowling success, II is Diff
ferent, and that holds good, too, for St
Louis and Washington. though Boston
seems satisfied with the team which
and a first baseman was sadly needed last
year.

Robinson knew they were getting the

NEW ORLEANS, La, April IMAM
ager Hughie Jennings Of the Detroit
Tigers. who is here with his band OF ball
tossers. has great respect for the 1912
Maps. He looks for Harry Davis to work
wonders with Charley Somers' galaxy Of

Ole Olson, shortstop. are favorites with
the much battered-up leader of the Tigers.
Hughie figures that both of the infielders
will prove 30 per cent more valuable this
season than I'm 1911.
1T is going to be awfully hard to sneak
a safe hit through the left side of that
infield,' said Jennings today "Olson has
improved, according to all reports. and
Turner's arm is not bothering him much
this year. That means that he will be a
