CAssIGN0L AFTER HON0Rs.
French Billiard Expert Will Exhibit
His Skill AGAIN In This Country.

French Billiard Expert Will Exhibit
His Skill Again In This Country.
Firrnin Cassignol, the French billiard
expert, who is one of the best players
that the game has produced, will play
in this country during the winter. The
French billiardist will appear under
the management of Maurice DAILY, who
is also the manager of Welker Cochran,
the youthful Chicagoan.
Cochran and Cassignol will play ex
hibition gaGes together, and it is ex.
pected that the latter will play Hoppe
either in handicap tournament or in
match competition. Cassignol is be-
lieved to be the one billiard player in
the world who has the skill to offer
close competition to the champion.
There is, however, little possibility that
there will be a championship game be,
tween the two, for Hoppe has by his
wonderfully consistent defeats of all
the American rivals won absolute pos
session of all of the balk line trophies.
So that there might be a championship
match another emblem would have to
be put In competition, which could only
be offered the first time in tournament
play. s
Cassignol has made three trips to this
country, the last year ago, and he
went back to France then because of
the war and before he had played
many games.
In France CassfgnoI is conceded to
be the premier player, just as Hoppe is
in this country. He holds the academy
record of sos at the 1872 game, which
compares favorably with the record
which is held by Hoppe In this coun
try Of 622.

Temper-Played Wonderfully In 1915.
Hughey Jennings recently took occa-
sion to pay Ty Cobb a compliment.
"Cobb is a different man entirely
from what he used to be- said Jen-
nings. HE has governed his temper
and as result is of much more value
to his team than he was in former
years. His playing during the last
campaign was absolutely marvellous,
and all because he kept his mind on
the game and did not allow the re-
marks hurled at him to interfere with
his playing.
"Cobb has determined to attend
strictly to business. He wants to re-
gain the esteem of the fans, which was
on the wane few years ago, when he
could not control himself and got into
several scrapes, which did not help his
reputation. But that now is all for
gotten, and Ty is sure to be the most
popular player in the game if, as he
VOWS, he will continue to govern his
temper"

UNCLE SAM AS REFORMER

The United States, more than any
other nation, is beset with profession
al reformers. Scarcely a week goes
by in which some little group does not
reveal to the startled community a
series of gross injustrices or bevy
of corrupt officials. The trouble is
that they do not stop at talking Sbut
insist upon the application Of particul-
ar remedies In spite of the annoy
ance which most Of us feel over most
reforners. and most professional al
TRUSTS, they get away with it because
officials do not do things. But in gen
eral we do not believe in reformers
with whom we do not agree.
This passion for reform has at last
broken out officially in international
relations Our worthy president in
forms England that we unhesitatingly
assume the championship of neutral
rights against belligerents. All ma

America has had experience with
professional altruism within its own
boundaries and it knows how we feel
about them. If the nation is going in
for world reform it ought to realize
exactly how unpopular such a course
will make us. 1t is going to be i'm
