"An international indoor tournament
would be a big success, and | hope to
see one in Oakland next winter. says
Mclaughlin. Il have been in correspond
ence with a number Of the best men in
the game, and majority Of them agree
with me that such an event would be not
only a novelty, but a successful venture.
The court would be faster than an out
door court, and tennis records would be
made that would set a standard for a
long time to come Oakland's warm winter
weather would make the conditions prac-
tically ideal"
Mclaughlin has taken the matter up

Tallies SO to AZ in Three Cushion
Title Play and Leads, 100 to 81.

NEW YORK. May 1e-Playing fast
billiards at the start, but falling down
toward the finish, George w. Moore, the
three e-cushion champion, finished the
second block Of points last night in his
championship match with Alfredo de Orc
with a more comfortable lead than the
one point he had at the end OF Monday
nights session. His total of so points
for the night was made while De Orc
netted ~. making the total for the two
nights-Moore, 100; De Oro. 81.
The concert hall at the New York
Theater was well filled again to see the
two masters at the most intricate OF
billiard games continue what promised
to be a neck -and-neck struggle for the
title. At the thirtieth inning, when
Moore by rapid scoring. which included
run OF 8, and two 3's, had an av-
erage of l and had doubled the score
made by the Cuban, the interest tagged
for while. The indomitable DE ORC
began to hold his own then and the
spectators awaited the rally which so
often has turned an almost sure defeat
into victory.
Moore's play had been careful and
well judged throughout, though his shots
were not as brilliant as some of the
pyrotechnical efforts that frequently drew
applause for the under dog" The lit
tie fellow, however, was cool and col
lected all the way. while his opponent
frequently showed signs of nervousness
All through the contest he was certain
in going after naturals, and this counted
heavily in his favor in a game from
which continued safety was barred.

standard. which, while not brilliant. is
good enough to average about three
runs pei game. it will have no trouble
winning more games than it will lose,
but there would have to be lot better
batting done to bring this about.
AS it is now hitting the team is viz
tually helpless. When it's opponents get
a single run they usually have the game
cinched. for il is on rare occasions that
disadvantage.
Not only does this weak hitting make
victories scarce. but il has an effect on
the pia ying of the entire team. Players

win besides hitting the ball.
Booth Hopper has not yet made his
debut in the American League. Though
Griffith has on several occasions slated
him to make his bow. II has not yet
come to pass. and Hopper is fretting
under his enforced idleness. He works
hard every day. however. keeping him
self in condition to pitch in the event
he should be called upon. But this
kind of work does not helg pitcher
like few real ball games. and Hopper
knows it and is anxious to break into
the lineup.
If there is game today with the
Browns either Gallia or Boehling VIII
officiate on the rubber. Both are in
good form. and Griffith figures that
either can put it on the Browns. Either
James or Hoch will do the pitching for
the locals. Rickeys pitching staff IS
rather limited now. Earl Hamilton ana
Baumgardner are both suspended pend
ing their getting themselves into playing
condition. and this leaves Hickey with
but weilman. Lowdermilk, James and
Hoch to depend on.
The good showing made by Joe Wood
in a recent game at Cleveland has put
a decided boom in the Red Sox's chances.
With wood back in form there ought
NOT be much trouble winning the pen
nant by that team, which has other
great pitchers and is well balanced. Any
team which gets a good start Is Liable
to walk in with the pennant. for just at
this time the picking is very easy, TOR
none of the teams is playing up to a
high standard.
