portioned by vote of the players

Leonard's followers their first definite
knowledge that he had entered the

of winning by a knockout. He weighs
about 1876 pounds and at this figure
he will be about five pounds lighter

required figure after a ten-session GO
with Irish Patsy Cline.

BROWN OUGHT TO
BOX IN THIS CITY

New Haven, Oct. 18 - Battling
>Kunz, lightweight. champion of the
state, was a visitor in town yesterday.
According to Bat there was no special
significance attached to his Visit here
except for the fact that he takes
pleasure in hitting up the turnpike
between this city and Milford. Kunz
stated that he is still in training and
that he hopes to reap golden har-
vest before the season closes.

is in It." declared the champion.
Nobody reaiizes any better than my
self that there is plenty OF currency

Nothing would suit me better" said
the champion. But Chic will have
to come ito Bridgeport. I've been
here twice and Chic has vet to show
me that he Is my master. However,
don't think his manager wants any
of my game down there"
Kunx made it plain that the pro-
motors need not consider Brown as
the only logical opponent for him.
He mentioned several boxers whom
he expressed desire to met, one be-
ing Pete Hartley. who has established
headquarters here.

Young Jake Schaefer
Fine Cue Artist Just
Like Famous Father

{ Among the young billiardists MAX
ing bids for supremacy in the green
table art, none is more promising than
Jacob Schaefer, Jr., son OF. the famous
wizard, who was for many years one
OF the greatest of billiard players
Young Jake will today celebrate his
twefty-second birthday, He was born
In Chicago on Oct 18, 1895. AL
though he associated with famous bill
ltardists and dabbled with the game
almost from his infancy it was not
until after his fathers death in Dem
lyer in 1910 that young Jake decided
to become a professional.
The elder Schaefer urged his son
not to follow a billiard career unless
he thought he could attain champion
ship honors, and the fact that young
Jake has entered the professional
lists indicates that he believes that he
has the ability to uphold the honored
family name. Young Schaefer got
his real billiard start in Denver. and
later played in Chicago, and on the
road with Ora Morniagstar. His first
important tournament play was in
New York, but he did not make a
very good showing. It was then
Jake, Jr., first displayed anything Hike
the wizardy of his father.
He went out with successive runs OF
6S, LOT, So and "a. While young
Schaefer had the most distinguished
parent, most of the youngsters now
showing class In billiards were reared
in a billiard atmosphere. Walker
Cochran's father ran a billiard room
in Iowa. and was fair performer with
the cue. Marcus Cation is the son
of the late william H. Cation, o.
Rock Island, Ill. Cation, Sr., was q
mighty good player and his son was
born in Paris while his father was
playing in the academies Of the
French capital. Cation is little
older and Cochran about a year
younger than Schaefer.

get along very well with the other
Giant players and it is said he is like
ly to figure in a trade before next
season rolls around. At various times
both he and Herzog have been accus-

players but the rumors have always
been denied.
although he made II hits in the

Robertson did more to lose the battle
