BILLIARD PLAYERS LEAGUE

Respective merits of Tyrus Raymond
Cobb, Tristan Speaker and Edward
Collins WAS the subject of q heated
cigar stand argument the other day.
AS in usual in such cases. nothing Was
proved. But for these little differences
of opinion there wouldn't be any such
thing as sports and the basena'i writ
ers would be compelled TO go to work.
Practically all We're agreed. now
ever that Cobb and Collins excel
ANYTHING else in baseball. although
there were few scattering votes for
Iris Speaker. The Cobb adherents
maintained that Tyras is the greatest
piayer in the business, but grudginly
admitted that Collins might pc the
more useful citizen Of the two by
virtue OF playing an indeld position.
The untorrified minority persisted
that Collins not only Ia more useful
than Cobb but really and truly greater.
CrawfOrl Big Power.
Samiyel Crawford. Wahoo, Nebres-
ka's best barber, was entirely ignored
in the discussion. Sanlivel did certain
things last season which show him to
be a great power for good and which
will he touched on later.
It developed that those who had
taken 1t upon themselves to decide
the important questions of true great
ness and real usefulness had only q
vague idea OF what these players ac-
ltually accomplished in. lSl.a., and. hsd
mot analysed the averages.
Thus It n made plain that there Y
some room for argument. while III

period, the Jackets gradually came
from behind in tho last half. and but
q few minutes had elapsed before
they had passed their opponents A
few minutes longer saw them leaving
the Richmonders far behind. and
they retained the big lead until the
ANAL whistle sounded.
Spiders Start Well.
In the opening half the Spiders, de-
spite the fact that they were unable
to locate the basket at times. clearly
outplaycd the visitors from Ashland.
and when the opening half ended the
local collegians. But that old hoo
doom lumber cast a jinx over the Spi-
der camp after the hrst half. and at
times they put up sorry exhibition
of the winter pastime. However,
there were some of the Spiders who
never gave up the boat until the
game ended.
After three minutes OF playing,
Wood. the elongated Richmond Col
lege forward. managed TO garner the
initial goal OF the game. The oalI
was tossed into his waiting hands by
