COCHRAN WINNER
OF BILLIARD MATCH

New York. Nov. 17.-We1ker Coch-
ran, the billiard prodigy from the
West. administered severe beating
to Leonard Howison. the Canadian
veteran. winning their five nights
play at 1872 by 1000 to 1854 points.
The youngster played very faggedly
last night, and, the veteran beat him
on the nights play by 41S TO 400. The
men were playing for nearly four
hours and all the onlookers got weary.
It was the second time during the
match that Howison outscored the
youngster. as he made 4s5 to 400 by
Cochran in the second game.
Cochran played well in spots and at
times brilliantly. but taking his per-
Torrance as a whole. he did nothing
to indicate he would have a chance
with Hoppe.

KniCks To
Play The
Ribbons
Crack New York Team, An
Gent Rivals of Manager
Leavy's Blue Ribbons,
Will Be Next Attraction
at Colonial Hall.

Those ancient rivals of. the Blue
Ribbons, the Knickerbockers of New
York, have been signed by Manager
John Leavy to furnish the basketball
fireworks at Colonial hall Tuesday
evening. The rivalry of these clubs
dates back about three years, when
Manaveyi Leavy was just beginning
to build up that wonderful team
which has since made Bridgeport IA
nous in basket circles throughout
the east.
At that time Leavy had a strong
quintet, but the Knickerbockers were
stronger. Old time fans will remern-
Der that the New York boys all sea-
son long were the one dark b1otch in
the records of the locals The first
meeting between the teams early in
the season resulted in an overwhelm-
ing victory for the visitors. Leavy
strengthened his team, and the Knick--
erbockers won again with only a
slightly reduced score. Again Eeavy
procured new blood for the Ribbons,
and again the Knickerbockers clean
ed up, though this time by a margin
Of only two points Another shake
up in the local line, and for the
fourth time in ONE season the New
:
Workers appeared at Colonial hall
This time the Blue Ribbons played in
wonderful form and finally the stain
of three successive defeats was wiped
away.
Ever since that year the Knicker-
bockers have been prime favorites
with basketball fans of Bridgeport.
They have always drawn capacity
crowds, and have had many strong
rooters pulling for their success. Tues
day nights game should bring the
fans out in force. The Ribbons dem
onstrated in their first game of the
season that they were going to keep
Bridgeport on the basketball map
| again this year, and interest in this
second game Of the season should run
high. 49,. ..AssI5
y The preliminary game will be staged
at 7:45 o'clock, with the evening s
main attraction going on at $50
o'clock. There will be dancing after
the game. Wallum will referee.
The teams will line up as follows:
Ribbons Knickerbockers
White, IF zlg. SAcker
clinton, 1t ~ rig, Healy
Harvey, C C, MacMiIlen
Murray, re- II, Warsmer

Talk Of Sports

Barney Dreyfuss, so rumor has it,
is ready to trade Al Mamaux It is
said that Jawn McGraw might not be
averse to making a dicker of some
kind in order to get AL.
Frank Chance Is putting as much
enthusiasm into growing oranges
these days as he did into playing ball
formerly. He was rarely seen around
the ball lot in Los Angeles during the
past season.
RUDE Marquard. the faded stellar
attraction of the diamond a few sea-
sons ago, is appearing in vaudeville.
Players with contracts will not be
among the footIght favorites this
year.

Rensselaer, Prepared
For Holy Cross Game

Troy, N. z. Nov. 1.-THE Rensse1-
aer Polytechnic Institute eleven will
play its final game Of the season with
Holy Cross at Worcester, Mass, Sat-
.urday. Though at first disheartened
by their defeat at the hands of Union
after so good a showing during the
season, the engineers have had their
military spirit or fight
ing qua1ity-restored by three after
Moons of stiff scrimmage practice this
week, and are ready to do their best
against Coach Jack Reeds almo
mater. 49,
The Institute team, with only two
verterans left in the lineup, has been
congratulated on having tailed
against Union for the first time since
athletic relations were restored four
years ago, and Norton, the big senior
fullback who never played football
until this season, and who kicked a
pretty field goal, from the 40-yard
line, has shown ability in drill as a
drop kicker this week.
Halfback PARROT will be out of the
game, as the last contest proved his
leg has not been restored to condition,
and he will rest in preparation for the
basketball season. Babe Lawes,
who shares the veteran class with
Richards is the most consistent dis
lance gamer, and, "Jim" VOORHEES, the
Dewitt Clinton High school boy from
Brooklyn, seems to have acquired in
his first season the happy faculty OF
knowing just where the pigskin is
and is here, there and everywhere.
The probable lineup of the Rens-
se1aer team against Holy Cross today
will be: Ends, Sweet, Frank and Hol-
den; tackles, Armstrong, McClelland,
Downs; guards, VOORHEES,. Bartz and
Baldo; centre, Richards; quarterback,
Shankey, Foster or Kwan; halfbacks
Lawes, Behan and Reimers; fullback
Norton.

battle will develop into the greatest
struggle which has ever taken place
on Connecticut zridaron- Both teams
are as evenly matched as possible.
Thds was proven In their last meeting
here about three weeks ago, when
the Anal count stood at TT. Never

had his charges working faithfully
for this ttular fray, stated Last night,
after practice at Newfeld park had

other city to see their aggregation

the Elm City boys on to victory. Al
though no special train Will carry the
New Haven football fans here, be-
cause Of the recent government .ru1-
ing prohibiting it. many additional
coaches will be added to the 1880
and 1855 trains.
According to advices from New Ha-
ven, the fans of that town are fully as
confident that their favorites will gel
away with the heat as are local fans
that the Chains will prove their su-
periority. A pool of money to-be
wasered on the New Haveners has been
raised. and will without doubt find
many hkers here before the game.

1t was decided last night by Man
ayers O'Connor Of the Annex and
Kearny Of the Chains that the teams
play 15-minute periods. Manager
Kearney was at first inclined to hold
out for l2-ninute periods, but later
agreed that the longer play would
give a better line on the real strength
Of the contending teams. He is a
sportsman of the highest type, and
while anxious to win, doesn't want
the title unless he proves beyond a
doubt that his team is the strongest in
the state.
The price of admission, as previous
ly announced in the Farmer, will be
80 cents fat, the club management
taking II and the government war
tax accounting for the other three.
The increase Of two cents, which will
not be felt by any of the fans, was
sity for pennies In making change
park will be crowded to capacity, and
the earlier the fans get around, the
better places OF vantage will they be
able to secure. ~
Manager Kearney is still figuring on
booking the Steam Rollers of Prov1-
dence for next Sunday, providing the
local team .annexes the state cham
pfonship tomorrow.
Both. teams will put in the field
their regular array of players. The
Annex will be the same as appeared
here three weeks age, while the 1oca,
line will be that which. defeated the
soldiers last Sunday.
