Mature Will Play
.Taberski for Pool
Title of Country

Frank Taberski of Schenectady, N.
Y, worlds pocket billiard champion,
and James Mature, who now calls
Kansas City his home, will meet for
the Brunswick trophy, emblematic of
the championship, at Harry Davis
hall in Pittsburgh on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of this week,
playing the regulation $50 points i'll
block of $50 each night.
Though Taberski, following his vic
tory over Jack Layton, from whom he
annexed the title, defeated Mature by
more than 200 points in a special
match at Kansas City, the Italian is
primed for the coming battle at Pitts
burgh and confident that he can lift
the crown from the head of the "Si-
lent Pole" whose remarkable play in
defense of the title against Ralph
Greenleaf and Ed Ralph won the ad-
miration of all cue fans.
Nature twice tried for the cham
pionship when Benny Allen held
sway, being beaten only thirteen
points by Allen in their first engage
ment, but not doing so we'll on the
second occasion. Mature does not
believe Taberski as great a player as
Allen when the latter was in his
prime, while he figures that his own
game has improved. On the other
hand, while being too smart gen.
eral to underrate any opponent, Ia
berski has no fear OF Mature, so at
that rate the confidence should be
even up.
Mature is an excellent SHOEMAKER
and may have something on Taberski
in this particular, but the champion
is cooler, has a better head and in
the pinches should outmanage the
challenger just as he outmanaged
Layton, Greenleaf and Ralph one
after another. Of course, the breaks
of the game may have something to
do with the result as for uncertainty
pocket and three-cushion billiards are
on par.

Beal, sensational Southtown guard,
from the floor, where he had fallen
unconscious when the final gong
rang out. 1t was two weeks before
the star athlete regained conscious
ness and as many years before he re-

Omaha"
The brilliant advances of Central
and South teams are matter of his
tory. Three times the Packers have
fought for a championship, first in
1910 with York, losing by margin of
one point; in 1911 with Beatrice, los
ing by score of 10 to II; and third,
to Omaha in 1912, losing by score
Of % to 8. Central has lost success
sive championships to Lincoln inl9l4
and 1915 by scores of Fl to Is, and II
to II. The first game ended in a
tie, Is to Is, but in the extra five
minutes the Link forwarded added up
the margin. Last year overcon-
hdence lost the semi-fnal match to
Beatrice by a score of u to 7
Omahans who witnessed the game
will never be able to quite see how
defeat came.
Future years will probably enhance
the spirit of old. But it will be many
long year before such marvellous
whirlwinds as DeYoung, Rector, Dick
man, Shields, Gardiner, Collins, Meme
fee, Burkenroad and Platz are pro-
duced. The future is filled with
promise if repetitions are in order.

Judgments

" HE acclaim and fatuous boost
ing given Les Darcy upon his
arrival in this country is typi-
cally American. Only by hear
say do Americans know OF Darcy
and his alleged proves with the
mitts. He may be the demon fighter
he is said to be, and he may be an
A No. fivver. But America has &C
cepted him with open arms and IS
preparing to shower him with the
gold he is seeking. Without even
once showing the American public
his ability, or perhaps it will prove to
be lack OF it, Les is preparing to go
on the stage and his footlight con-
tract is said to be about S75,O0O. In
what other country would a stranger
to the shores find the pickings SO
easy. When an American invades a
foreign cline he faces the cold eye
of suspicion and is put to work
packing hod until he proves he's the
goods. But in America they hight
to see who can pay newcomer the
most money. 1t might have some;
educational value if Mr.. Darcy should
prove to be a ring tailed frost.

Waldron's offer was one of those
which Darcy didn't take seriously.

scheme afoot to pry George Tebcau
out of the association. Tebeau owns
the Kansas City club, and has until
recently been a dominating figure in

Tebeau is no longer wanted. 1t is
said that he offended his Kansas City

the Kansas City team had chance
to win the American association pen

Tebeau's infeld that the team dropped

weather has materially interfered
with the plan to increase the wheat
acreaGt in Oklahoma and so far the
total increase over last year is only
2 per cent, according to the monthly
report of the state department of
agriculture. An effort was made to
plant much larger acreage than last
year. The most notable increase oc-
ours In >ie northeastern portion of
the state. The usually good wheat
section of the southwestern part was
hardest hit by dry weather and here
is where the biggest decrease in acre
age occurs.
Farmers still have on hand about
S2 per cent of the 1917 wheat. The
average price received was $l.s9. and
for oats II cents a bushel The total
yield OF corn is now estimated at
44.S47,000 bushels. The average price
received by the farmer was sl.35 a

crop Is still in the farmers hands

According to Mowbray this action
was ordered by the city because the
streets are to be paved and the street

tlmes, refused to level the tracks to
'the level OF the street. With the tracks
not ieveled the paving activities could
