GREENLEAF MAKES
 RECORD POOL RUN
Pockets 155 Balls Without a Miss
 at Danbury

Danbury, Nov. G.-Ralph Green for pocket billiards here last night, when he knocked off 155 balls before re missed shot. While the run was made on a championship table and under championship conditions, it is unlikely that it will be accepted aa d record by the powers that be. It was made in an exhibition game. Grecnleaf was playing against Bob stone the Connecticut state cham Dion. whom he defeated by a score of 40 to 9. Grccnleaf had ton points when he started on his great cXhib- ton. He made 130 and finished the game. The spectators yelled for him to continue and he did so. He made twenty-five moro balls before he missed.
 It was in the second inning that Grccneaf made his run. The score
 was 10 to 9 at the time he started his rampage. He found the balls fairly well scattered when he went tu hat for the second time and inn niediately cleaned the tablc--that is, all but the fifteen ball, which lie left in perfect position to pocket and make the break at the sumo time. It was this that featured his playing throughout tho record run. Green ; leaf invariably left the fifteen ball so that he could not only drive it into the pocket, but could break the bunch
 lt the same time For long Green leaf las been recognized as one of the best shot makers in the game. His safety play is usually poor be- cause he pays so little attention to il. As d result of this run GrecnlCaf lndoubt edly will be one of the fla voriteS in the national pocket billiard championship tournament to be held
 in Philadelphia beginning on Dec. 1. | He has been showing excellent form
 recently, and, unless he suffers an at
 tack of nerves, he should be one of the strongest players in the title tour
 ney.
 Greenlcaf recently won the profcs-
 sional exhibition tournament in
 Brooklyn by winning three and los
 ing none of his games He defeated
 Joseph Concannon, another cntrant Iirueter and Larry Stoutenburgh, two ' prospective competitors. Those who nave seen him in his recent work are
 unanimous in declaring him one of
 the best players this style of billiards
 has known since the days Of Tom Illus ton and Alfredo de Orc. when they
 were at their best.

 Three lineup changes were ordered. Barclay Robinson, of the third eleven. was Jumped over the heads of the second team into q varsity berth at right end, displacing Parker Allen.

MAD HATTER WINS
Sam tIillrVthS Crack Thcc- Icar-OId Colt Runs Away from Commander Ross Sir Barton.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. G.-That est three -ycar-olds of the year in Mad IIattcr was proved quite conClusivcly here yesterday when this fine son Of Fair Play rompcd off with the pjnl- lico Autumn Handicap at d mile ami a quarter and made his victory all the more impressive by defeating the great Sir Barton, pride of the *tab!N of Commander J. K. l.. Ross. Mad Halter won in a common gallop and was four lengths in front of w. l.. <. Martins Bridcsman Sir Barton camc in third, eight lengths back of the second horse, and took the worst dc feat that has been administered 10 him this year.
 The victory was d NindicatiOn for the Fair Play colt, which had met defeat tho last tmc he ran against Sir Barton. That was also in d milo and a quarter test and at that time Mad Halter had not been properly prepared for the race. His owner explained aftcrWard that he had had no opportunity to train tho colt for the distance owing to the condition of the track, and Mad Halter went
 into the race with the odds against him, despite the pull in the weights. After that he was trained properly and went to L.atoWa. where tho cap turcd the Latonia cham pionship easily. Despite all this. his victory yesterday was a great surprise to most Maryland rncCgocrs, for they remcm- bcrcd how Sir Barton had dcfcatcd the Hildrcth racer.
