YOUTHFUL -GREENLEAF
FAVORITE FOR TITLE
Kreuter, With Fiu@Straight
Wins, May Cause Pocket
Billiard Wizard Trouble
Tonight
BOTH UNDER 2I YEARS
BY JAMES S. CAROLAN

Ralph Greenleaf has fought his way
through one of the classiest fields that
ever competed for national pocket
billiard championship.
Six times he has started and six times
has he been returned triumphant. He
has waded through some worthy on
position and has stood up wonderfully
while his veteran and more experienced
foes apparently have cracked under the
strain.
1t seems strange that the two young
est players have made the most remark
able finishes. Both are under twenty
one years of age. Greenleaf has played
consistently, won his games by a wide
margin and asserted his class in every
match.
Louis D. Kreuter, the other youth,
after making miserable start. has
found himself and in the last five games
has shown class that rates him with
the best in the field of competition.
Greenleaf and Kreuter meet in the
final match at the Parkway Building
this evening. After dropping three
cannon and Ralph, he has come back
with victories over Seaback, Layton,
Mature, keogh and Fink.
Among Greenleaf's victims have been
Fink, Concannon, Seaback, Mature,
Allen and Keogh. Following his clash
with Kreuter he must dispose of Ralph
and then Layton.
1t is Kreuter and Layton who may
do the unexpected. If these two can
stop the sensational Wilmington boy,
then there is likely to be tie for
first houors. Both Keogh and Allen
have a chance to tie in the event of two
Greenleaf disasters this week.
Then again Kreuter has an excellent
chance of finishing in tie for second
money. He completes his schedule with
the Greenleaf match and a victory will
give him a standing of six wins and
three defeats. Benny Allen has two
more games and an even break will
serve to make it dual deadlock.
Greenleaf looks like the next pocket
billiard champion. In the event he is
crowned king of this style of game,
he will be the youngest player ever to
annex this title.
Now is he being called he Willie

The game will be for blood, as Chester
is eager TO wrest the shipyard title and
Hog Island is just as eager to retain
its grip on the pigskin title. Regard

Hoppe of pocket billiards. His play
ing is rapid and attractive. He has the
ability to do the right thing at the right
time and to deliver under seemingly
hopeless conditions. 1t is this power of
execution that has made Willie Hoppe
the wonder of the balkline game.
Other players can make difficult shots
and in return get only brief recogni-
tion from the gallery. But let Green :
leaf make the same shot and the gal
leryites will make an innocent spectator
think the home team had put over the
winning run in the ninth.
Greenleaf is very popular, and has q
distinctive following. Every time he is
booked the Parkway Parlors are
packed.
Against Kreuter Greenleaf should be
at his best. He has had time now to
become thoroughly accustomed to the
conditions of the Parkway hall. He
knows the cushions and the worries. He
can gauge the speed of both much bet
ter. In addition he has the confidence
born of continued triumph.

team avenged their drubbing of last
week by outplaying the University of
Pennsylvania team, composed Of varsity
and second string men, by a score of

Haverford's success may we'll be at
tributed to the wonderful offensive play
Of Bacon, Mckinley and Hallett. It
was at the very outset of the game that
bacon dribbled'through the Penn backs
and shot accurately for the Main Liners
first score. In the course Of the first
period three tallies were registered in

GERMANTOWN "Y
HAS SPEEDY FIVE
After Playing for Years in Open
Team Finally Battles
in a Cage
BIG CROWDS ATTEND

There are more basketball teams in
Germantown than the one holding down
place in the Eastern League that are
cutting figure in the cage world this
season and one of the fastest that ever
played in the suburbs is now wearing
the colors Of the Germantown Y. NJ. G.
A. The "Y' has had many clubs in its

season apparently surpasses all.
One of the reasons for the success
of the sport there this seasoa is the
fact. that they are playinL IN cage,
vital factor in the success. of basket
ball in this locality. For years, the
team was compelled to play on the
open floor, but the erection of port
able cage at considerable expense has
heen apparently justified in the returns
for crowds of 900 and 700 are attend
ing the weekly games on Saturday
nights.
To date four contests have been
played and all resulted in victories, e1-
cept one with Bobby Winskill's Rook
wood FIVE, but as this is only the first
of series Germantown expects to come
out on top by taking the next two. The
opening game was with Atlantic Re
fning and was won by the score of 81
21, The others were Germantown 81,
Tnlpehocken %; Germantown 30,
Covenant 2S, and Germantown IA,
lockwood 10.
The schedule arranged by Manager
Howard r. Friend includes the best
teams in Pennsylvania. To date he has
booked for future appearance Seneca
Club, of Pottstown; East Downing
town, Olivets, of Reading Coatesville,
Mohnton, Pa, and every effort will be
extended to bring both Lancaster and
Harrisburg.
Included in the line-up are several
players who are known in intercollegiate
ranks for their great work. At forward
is Anderson, who held the intercollegiate
scoring. and his running mates are
Logan and Hartzell. Tarr, the former
high school center, is the tap off man,
and in the backfield are Taylor. the
Lafayette football player, and Buswell
and Epplett.
In order to make the games attractive
an orchestra has been engaged and
Manager Friend is working hard in
secure the introduction of dancing. This
Saturday night Germantown plays
Norristown Professionals. The Pro-
fessionals had one of the best baseball
teams during the last season and they
are said to be represented by an equally
strong cage club.

HUNDRED BOXERS
REPORT AT STATE
Coach Harlow Has Promising
Squad for Meets With
Penn and Navy

State College, Pa. Dec. 1.-THE
boxing season at Penn State got on its
legs last night when almost 100 candi-
dates reported to Coach Dick Harlow.
Prospects for a winning aggregation are
exceedinglg bright, for all members of
reported. in addition to several men
who made regulations for themselves In
boxing while in the army.
Harlow has had experience as a box
ing coach in the army, stationed at Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute, and has
started his men on a vigorous training
schedule.
Meets with Penn and the Navy are
practically assured, and If the plan for
an intercollegiate boxing meet goes
through this year State expects to enter
a strong team. This meet is strong
possibility: and is being earnestly
boosted here.
The first boxing team was put out
by State last year and it had one meet
with Penn, which was lost by the mar
row margin of one decision. Previous
to that time interclass boxing had been
o.
and the sport is by no means new to
State.
Four meets will be staged in the local
ring this season. in addition to the Penn
bouts, which will probably come during
January. There will be novice meet,
a freshman sophomore class scrap, an
interclass meet and the college cham
pionships.
Prominent candidates for the intercol-
legiate team are-115s pound class, Jen-
kins, of last yearis varsity; Reilley,
Friedman, Reese, Eberle and Kahley
1875 pound class, Freedman, who won a
decision at Penn last year; 1885 pound
class, McFadden, who defeated Captain
Lew, of Penn; 145 pound class. Cooper
and Lalley; 1853 pound class, Ted
Aikon, Rauch and Smozinski; heavy
weight, Higgins, Black and Beck. Hig-
gins has been hailed as the best man
at State with the gloves since he has
been a student here.

GO TO WEST POINT

New Haven, Conn, Dec. II. - Yale
will try to arrange a football game
with West Point for next season, but
Will name the Bowl, instead of the
Plains, for the match. The Yale team
will not visit West Point for the game !,
but hopes to induce the War Depart
ment to allow the cadets to come here
to play the game, promising the de-
partment that it is reasonable to expect
that the attendance will be limited by
only the capacity Of the Bowl.
The fact that Secretary Daniels has
already given his consent for the An
napolis eleven to visit Princeton next
fall for game is expected to have some
weight with the War Department, al
though the Yale officials do not wish in
any way to anticipate the decision of
the department regarding the match
which they are so eager to see consurn
mated.

The Hardware City Loan corporation has the backing of the manufacturers of the city. These new building pro- jectS will be the means of making New Britain a bigger and better city and will do much to relieve shortage of rents here. By spring it is expected that 100 new homes will be erected through the corporation. The num- Der of new tenements will be about 200
 The residents of the north section of the city have petitioned Postmaster William F. Delaney for the csta ablish- ment of a postof1ice sub-staton in that section and he has approved of the De- tition and has forwarded it to Wash ingtOn.

$1, 300 ADDED TO FUND.
Patrolmcn Vote to Turn In Receipts
 of Baseball Benefit for Pensions.

The committee in charge of the benefit baseball game between tho New Britain and Meriden police last August presented q report at the meeting of the patrolmen yesterday afternoon showing that S1,300 had been realized. It was voted to turn the entire amount into the police- mems pension fund, which, at the opening of the fiscal year, contained $16,524.
 The amount turned in from the baseball benefit is the first sum con- tributed by the members of the de- partment, the other money having been realized from the five per cent. derived from liquor licenses. With the coming of prohibition the cops will have to look around for some other means of Cnriching their eX- Chequer. There was no discussioll held relative to the petition for nn increase in wages.
