leaf, Title Contender.

Frank S. Sherman, former worlds
champion pocket billiard player and
now chief exponent of the game here,
will meet Ralph Greenleaf, youthful
contender for the title, in a series Of
matches to be staged at the Royal on
the nights of January Is, 16, and II,
A total of 125 points will be played
each night.
The scheduled contests between the
veteran and the youngster hold I'M
usual interest. Greenleaf Is only
eighteen years of age and already
has competed for the championship.
He was defeated q short time ago in
a match for the title by the present
champion, Traversky, but has met
and beaten practically every other
pocket billiard player in the country.
Sherman is practicing for the COM
ing competition with the boy and ex-
poets to give the latter a worthwhile
battle, If not trim him. In the days
of his prime Greenleaf probably would
have been an easy victim for the vet
eran. Ill health partly dulled his
game, but he stin ranks among the
foremost performers of the world.

AFTER JUMPING MARK
worthington, Dartmouth, Star,
Hopes to Better he Record.

No athlete in the United States will
be watched with greater interest dur
ing the year that is just starting than
Harry WorthingtOn, the splendidly
consistent broad jumper who repre-
sents Dartmouth College and the Bos-
ton Athletic Association.
PROFESSIONALLY Worthington has it in
him to beat the American record for
his speciality. For three years now he
has stood at the head of Uncle Sans
broad jumpers. being a unanimous ALL
American selection for that event in
1914, 1915. and 1916 In those three years
he has suffered but one defeat in a
scratch competition. Plat Adams beat
him in the National a. A. u. champion
ships at Baltimore in September. 1914.
The Dartmouth star should have his
best season this year. He is a senior
in college, which means that the in
tercollegiate championships next May
Will mark his passing as university
athlete. II is only natural that Worth
jngton should make particular ef-
fort to Guido himself in his last APP
pearance in the Dartmouth colors. and
il he gets a good day we may look
for at least a new intercollegiate record
when the quiet young fellow from Han
over. N. H, strips to defend his title
in the big college meet.
Worthington came perilously near TO
smashing the intercollegiate long jump
record at Cambridge last May. 1t was
learned from an official after the big
college that Harry took a chance" and
let himself out on his very last effort
in the finals and cleared the ire
mendous distance Of "a feet 77s inches,
only to lose the honor because he mis-
judged his take-off slightly and fouled.
Harry Hillman, the Dartmouth coach,
is going to groom Worthington for his
last campaign as a college athlete with
utmost care. Working along these lines.
HiIlman kept the triple champion off
of the gridiron last fall and has not
allowed Worthington to put a jumping
shoe on since the national champion
ships at Newark last September.
