BILL HARDEN, BOY BACKsroP
 OF THE BRAVES. 2e TOMORROW

s.Bellicose Bill, the Boy Backstop of the Boston Braves might be the title of nickel library setting forth the life story of Bill Rariden, the star catcher of the Bean City aggregation of the National League. Bills bio graphy begins with Feb. 5, 1911, twen- ty-six years ago come tomorrow, which was the date of his birth at Bedford, Ind. 'tOnce a Hoosier, al ways a Hoosier," holds true in his case, for after graduating into the big show he retained his allegiance to the State and town of his birth. Bill was eight years old when he began catch ing for a scrub nine in his home. town, and he has been catching ever since. No other position on the diamond ever tempted him from his first allegiance. From the first he was contented with being mentioned second in the an nouncement of the "battries for tuh- day. Most ball players have tried several positions before they found their true vocation, but not Bill. He knew his place was behind the bat, and there he stuck during the "kid nine'' days when he caught 'em on the bounce; during the subsequent period when he was Fletcher on the school nine; during his career of three years as baekStop on the Bedford high school team, and throughout his pro- fessional career on the diamond. At high SchFsolt ne n1aQo the IOOCpall aS well as the baseball team, and his
 gridiron experience was later to stand
 him in good stead in blocking off run ners at the plate, at which Rariden
 has never had an equal. Rariden was
 fireman for a time after. leaving
 school, and at that time dit was his intention to> be blaze extinguish her for the rest of his life. It was while playing with a. local ball club that Rariden attracted the attention of the manager of the Canton, O., Central League club, who offered him a Job. That was in 1907, and he caught for Canton through the 1908 season and a part of 1909. In mid-season of the latter year, when Rariden was only twenty -one, he broke into fast com pany with the Boston Braves, with l whom he soon made a reputation as a heady, fast and scrappy player, and 1 one of the best backstops in the Ma 1 tfonal circuit.

ROPPE RETAINS
 BILLIARD TITLE
Beats Sutton in Easy Fashion in Big Challenge
 Match.


 George Sutton last night came to the conclusion that Willie Hoppe ought to be prosecuted under the Sherman Antitrust act, for if there ever was a combination in restraint of challengers, it is the well-known Willie. Sutton tried to relieve Hoppe of the 18.2= balk-1ine billiard cham pionship in New York, but Willie re- fused to shift the burden to Sutton's shoulders. Hoppe just breezed in by a score of 500 to 226.
 The title holder wound up his work for the night with an unfinished run of 65. in. the seventeenth inning. giv- ing him an average of 29 T-17,. while Sutton compiled an average of 13 4-17. For even that modest figure, the Chicago professional owed thanks Ito a splendid run of 123 in the hf- teenth session, which gave him the top string of the match, as the best that Hoppe could do was 99, in his third turn at the table.

SAYS OXFORD CAPTAIN
 IS GREATEST RUNNER

PhiIadelpfia, Feb. .4-According to the opinion of Ted Meredith, the O4ym- pie champion ssand ha1f-Tni1e worlds record holder, A. l.. Jackson, captain of Oxford Universityss track team, is the greatest runner today. Jackson win enter in the relay carnival to be held here under the auspices of the University of Pennsy1vania- peaking of Jackson's prowess, Meredith says:
 Jackson has ten running gears and it is his ability to go from a swing into a sprint that wins for him. When Jackson is going the route he has a long sweeping stride and a remarkable fact is that he pays less attention to his field than any runner today. Jack son knows what he can stand and a1- ways judges his own pace rather than follow a man killing pace and be burnt up at the end.
 When Jackson gets ready for his sprint he starts He may be 200 yards from the tape, and he may be half a mile. He jumps a sprint af- ter running three-quarters that would do credit to a quarter-mi1e. As he bears down upon the leaders his stride lengthens and his arms swing like piston rods. Jackson is so good that he can defeat any man in the world if he is within twenty yards of him in the last quarter. He isn't afraid to run himself out and has the nerve and heart Jackson is one of the most wonderful runners have ever seen"

KNICKE ROCKERS
 ARE TOO SPEEDY
Beat Blue Ribbons in Thrilling Basketball Game Before
 Big Crowd.
By wagner1

Those smart A1ecEs from the city just naturally tanned the hides of cur boys last night at Colonial hall when the Blue Ribbon basketball exponsnts were beaten by the Knickerbocksr i've of New York by 38 to 9. The local boys tried hard but they were up against a better team ,NevertheleEG it was a sparkling game and the crowd which was the largest that ever @a7v a contest here, enjoyed everything but the result.
 | Lack of passdng and team play. qualities that have been noticed be- fore, were responsible for the defect The passing of the visitors made tne Ribbons look tame and their soootiu8 was excellent. Manager Leavy,s men not move around enough to get 1rse so they were seldom In posation to r9- ceive the ball when one of the RID bons managed to obtain it. When against a combination like the k-uicz- erbockers, individual bri1Iiance, which has brought so many victories to the Ribbons, counts for little.
 Smith and Morrison tried hard But neither played well as usual Smith paid hardly any attention to Malone, the demon center of the visitors. who shot six goals. Bob Stow was Gastsr but three baskets was the beat he could do for the nights work Cahili- a member of last years team dld good work at guard for the locale and so did Langhammer in the Opsnin.s period. Pat Hurley was opposits e. heavy man so he found the going prst- ty heavy.
 In the first half the Ribbons he-d their own. At one time they led by g to 4. but the Kniclrerbockers coon passed them and at the end of the
 half were ahead by 16 to 1z They drew further away in the last period | In the preliminary the Br1dEeport Girls won from the Park City eIrfs bv
