HOPES SUCCESS
SEEMS ASSURED
American BiIIiardist Holds Com
handing Position in lnterna-
tionaI Billiard Match.

Two 500 point matches of English
billiards will be played today at the
Hotel Astor, New York, by Willie
Hoppe and Melbourne Inman, the in
ternational stars. The proceeds Of
the afternoon matchAwill be given to
the Red Cross Society. The match
will close tomorrow with two 500
matches at the balk-line game.
In two sessions at 1872 balk-line
billiards yesterday, Hoppe outplayed
Inman by total of 1000 points to
151. The Americans grand total for
seven games at both styles, English
and balk-line, is 2,925 while Inman
has 2,254.
Hoppe gave a fine exhibition Of
balk-line play in the twelfth inning
by close nursing along the short line
at the foot of the table. Only once
during this run had he to drive the
red ball up the table and after a
brilliant display, he slipped up on a
shot carom to the cushion. Inman
got the ivories together for runs Of
"a and 20, but was unable to control
them to further advantage.
The one-sided games of yesterday
practically assure Hoppe OF victory
in the tussle, for even if Inman
should shut him out today in the L.
200 points Of English billiards, the
latter would lead by only about 500
points. 1t is generally conceded that
Hoppe could overcome even lead Of
that size on the last days play at
the balk-line game. The summaries:

is history. He jumped Goullet on
the backstretch and he went sailing
into the lead without an apparent
effort. Once in front, he simply al
lowed his wheel to roll along, and
Goullet never gave him a battle at
all. Yet, Notwithstanding this open
display of superiority, MacFarland
still contends that Goullet threw the
race away" and that Kramer was "a
chippie for using So gear" Be that
as 1t may, Kramer, who is the one
most concerned, is satisfied that he
didn't make any mistake, and to
prove it he may ride 80 gear again
on Sunday in his individual match
race against Goullet. He hasn't said
so, and he won't say so, for Kramer
talks little of his plans; but whether
he rides so gear or SO gear, he will
make a strenuous effort to win the
match in straight heats.
@
In talking about the small gear
used by Kramer, mcfarland said
that if Goullet had raced Kramer the
entire last lap that Kramer would
have had his troubles holding, let
alone getting by, Goullet. l argued
different and contended that Kramer,
if Goullet would do his best through
out the last lap, would be able TO
beat him up the homestretch with
% gear on his wheel. Mac" couldn't
see 1t. and neither could Mory Cor
don, who is supposed to have more
than horse sense and who is devel-
oper of great cyclists. However,
put it UP to Kramer, and this is what
the champion said:
with a 80 gear / can go by Gouilet,
and IL he races hard in front the last
lap | will beat him up the home
stretch"
How he would beat Goullet, Kramer
wouldn't. tell, but / know, and Mac
Farland should know by this time,
that Kramer always knows what he
is talking about and generally knows
what he is doing.
o
While discussing his use of the
small gear Kramer blamed me for
making his task as a cyclist harder
than it would be otherwise.
you get all the inside dope and
you print it, Kramer said. "The
riders read it and they get wise in a
moment. figure out thing and you
expose 1t, and in short time find
one of my opponents using my own
tricks against me. There was a time
that was the only rider in the game
who could stall. Now Goullet is very
proficient at it. When l put the 90
gear on no one but Jack Neville, my
trainer, knew about it. Now the
world knows all about it. What is
the use of me using my brains. /
might just as well be a dummy
@
Whether Kramer will use his 90
gear Sunday is a matter he hasn't
really decided himself. If he does use
the small gear, it will be interesting
to see how Goulet will race him. If
he sprints the entire last lap, we will
see if Kramer is able to come out
in the homestretch and beat him to
the tape, and if Kramer rides SO

spite Small Entry.
CARL KLEIBER PRESIDENT

With only four clubs the Newark
Bowling League directors intend TO
start the season. At least that was
the intention at a meeting held at the
Kruger Club, in Belmont avenue last
night. The Newark League pin
knights were rather disappointed IN
having only four teams, but rather
than drop the organization, it was de-
cided to go through the season with
Kruger, Northern Republican, West
End and National Turner'S as the rep
resentative teams. Carl Kleiber, Of
the National Turner's, was elected
president, to succeed John Nagley, Of
the Roseville Athletic Association.
Franklin P Hand was reelected Sec
rotary and Jacob Zinckgraf, who was
not present at last nights meeting,
was elected a member of the execu-
tive committee.
Another meeting has been called for
next Thursday night. In the mean-
time efforts will be made to enlist two
more clubs. Secretary Hand said last

PRINCETON, Oct. Interference
that showed head work rather than
a blind effort to block out one par
ticular opponent, was largely respon-
sible for three touchdowns scored by
the Princeton Varsity football eleven
against the Scrubs in half an hour OF
scrimmaging yesterday.
Twice within the fifteen minutes
of play Boland was enabled to get
away for long runs because OF the
assistance he had in getting beyond
the first defense of the Scrubs. His
lodging outwitted the secondary de.
Tense in each case and he scored two
of the varsity touchdowns
The third touchdown was the re-
suit of the only success of line
plunges tried by the varsity this
week, and was successful because OF
the attack of briggs and F. Trenk>
mann, the former finally crossing the
goal on line plunge of three yards.
Tibbott and Eberstadt again alter,
mated as quarter, while Law re-
placed Bo1and at fullback for q time.
Harvard Players Display Speed.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct 1.-The
return of warm weather after the
hard football work for the last two
days, and the fact that the regulars
were tired, combined to make yes
terday's scrimmage on Soldiers Field
a comparatively easy one. The var
sity played hard football only ten
minutes against the scrubs, but dur
ing that time had lots of speed, al
though hardly developing the punch
displayed Wednesday. Trumbull, the
right tackle, and Coolidge, left end,
had day off. Morgan being put back
into the varsity line at right tackle
and Weatherhead being temporarily
promoted to Coolidges place.
Light Work for Yale Squad.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. a.
Coach Hinkey gave the Yale football
squad only a light drill yesterday.
Knowles and Legore alternated kick
ing the ball. Their punts were fairly
good. There was no scrimmage and
Hinkey continued his policy of open
practice. Captain Talbot did not ap-
pear on the field in uniform yester-
day, but watched the work closely
from the side lines. Several former
stars appeared for the first time.
Johnny Castles reported for work in
the back field, as did Archie Mac

wound up hard practice for the week
yesterday when, after secret drill
the varsitys defense was given a
good test at the hands of the scrubs
with satisfactory results, though the
coaches are not banking too much on
the strength of the second team.
Three times from the ten-yard line
the scrubs tried to take 1t over, but
failed on each occasion. The varsity
had plenty of opportunity to defend
against the forward pass, and showed
more ability in breaking up this play
than has been the case before this
