Wheatley Willing to Play.
Suggestion made yesterday by a
prominent pocket billiard player
through this column that Frank Sher-
man and George Wheatley meet in a
600-point pocket billiard match for the
benefit of the ambulance fund has met
with favorable response from the lat
ter. Wheatley this morning addressed
this formal communication to the
sporting editor Of The Star:
Reading the suggestion in your col
umns that a formal 60o-point pocket
billiard match be played between Mr..
Frank Sherman and me for the benefit
of the ambulance fund. herewith ad-
wise you that should be pleased to
carry out my end of such a program.
Mr.. Sherman already has been doing
something along this line. and probably
such a match as is proposed might help
considerably.
Il am willing to play Mr. Sherman a
600-point match. $50 points each Of
four nights. two nights at the Grand
Central and two nights at the Royal
or would play under any conditions Mr..
Sherman might desire. I realize that
the former world champion probably
could beat me, but feel sure that the
match would be interesting. Possibly
l could make direct shots as well as
Mr.. Sherman. but his splendid knowl-
edge OF the game would be almost un-
beatable. But, be that as 1t may, you
may put me down as being willing to
help along in any way possible"
