that match Beardsley showed MS heelS
cleanly to Barlow who Is considered
bv many to be the best player in the
tournament. Barlow plays at scratch

Beardsley beat Barlow eight points IN
straight billiards, a wide margin IN
the three cushion game. with the nan
dicap of ten allowed Beardsley, he I'M

awful beating to administer to anyone
in this game. As is usually the case
when an older is pitted against young
fellow, the crowd was all pulling for
Beardsley Saturday night and cheered
vociferously when he scored the win

scott White Bowls Well.
While football, baseball and basket
ball are games for young men, the
showing made by Beardsley and Houck
are ample proof of the fact that the
younger element does not by any means
monopolize bowling and billiards.
Scott White who has a son in high
school and another son older than some
of those now bowling in the Big and
other leagues, ranks rOurth amongst
the Big league bOwlers and for part
OF the season was out in front. MI
White has an average of $50 in 30
games. However, he is not entirely
satisfied with his average. He thinks
he should be well ahead of the league
leader, and promises to be there before
the season ends. White, like HOuck,
is not quite as strong a strike bowler
as some of the younger element, but
he, too, is great in picking up spares.
HOblitzeI Visits City.
During the past week FL Paso re
ceived visit from Dick HOblitzel, who
last year held down the initial sack
for the Boston Red Sox in such a capa-
BILE manner. Dick had been with the
Cincinnati Redlegs for number of
seasons before going to Boston and
was considered by critics to be on a
par with KOnetchy of the Saint Louis
Cardinals and Jake Daubert of the
Brooklyn Dodgers. Then HerzOg went
to the town made famous principally
as the home OF Gerry Hermann and
the city where a manager is indeed
lucky to last more than a single sea-
son.
This latter fact has principally been
due to the fact that the Cincinnati
scribes appear to be of the opinion that
they are far more capable or managing
the club than the man hired by the
officials Of it to take care Of the job.
and fooled them. After taking over
the managerial reins he proceeded to
get rid of all the prospective timber
for manager on the team. Hermann
had had such poor luck In trading for
himself during the previous seasons
that he feared taking a chance on an
other one for new manager. As there
was a strong probability of Hoblitzel
getting the job in case HerzOg failed
to make good, waivers were asked on
him and the Red Sox, refusing to waive,
secured him at the waiver price. Hob
litzel Immediately began showing what
a mistake Cincinnati had made in let
ting him go by burning up the league.
and he continued to do so throughout
the season, finishing far up at the top
among the American league first base
men. After the season closed HOblitzel
toured the country with the all Ameri-
can league which played exhibition
games with the all Nationals. After
playing in the Hawaiian Islands the
teams returned to California where
they disbanded. On his way to Boston
he stopped over here to renew old &C
quaintances.
