WOMAN STARS IN BILLIARDS
May Establish Championship from Me-

A new billiard star has come out OF
the East; not a Napoleon Ike Ives, nor
wizard Ike Schaefer, but a modern
Joan Of Arc, a young woman II you
please, with wonderful eyes and hands
and those other attributes which go to
make up the masterful player.
Katherine Haywood, coming from one
OF the old families OF philadelphia, has
been beating the best OF them at the
billiard table. Tom Foley, who has
seen all the experts from Phelan, the
first champion, 20 those OF the present
day, prOnounces Miss Haywood the
greatest woman .billiardist in the world
and skillful enough 10 give battle TO
the very best experts. He says there
are only half a dozen men professionals
who can beat her.
She Is so young, too, so in love with
the game, so skillful and promising that
some day, perhaps, she will establish a
precedent and wrest the Championship
from the men players. Miss Haywood
has been in Chicago to see the DeOro-
Kieckhefer championship games and TO
take some lessons from Willie Hopes
father.
Like all great b'lliardlsts. Miss Hay
wood began playing the game early.
She was Is when her father bought an
old-fashloned six-pocket table. lie and
his daughter played on II until her skill
attracted the attention OF the billiard
experts. one OF these gave her lessons
on a modern table, but she soon knew
more than he. She Is now so expert
that she can average eight and ten al
the balk line game and has made runs
OF 100.
Introduced 70 the game az "a, Miss
Haywood az q Is a finished player. Her
father, II he wished, might point 10
the splendid carriage OF his daughter
TO prove that billiards is a healthy ex-
ercise for women, for she Is as straight
as a perfect soldier and in general build
looks like a splendid athlete.
In the long ago, Adelina Patti. great
est OF opera singers, was also the great
est woman billiard player OF her time.
Wherever she went on her tours Of
this country she took with her a bill
Hard table. In her suites at the hotels
she always had the table set and Nico-
lini. her husband, played with her daily.
Whenever possible she engaged Jacob
schaefer or some other expert TO come
70 her apartments and teach her the
secret OF masses and drives. She be
came a mistress Of the game. Patti
claimed that billiards was part OF her
life: that II gave her Just the exercise
she needed. and that her girlish FORM
which lasted long after other prima
donnas had grown fat. was due to her
marches around the billiard table.
Patti became such an exnert that she
could average 20 20 At balk line. No
other woman could then approach her
at that game. Miss Haywood can do
twice as well a. that. So n Patti was
the greatest woman bllllardist Of the
olden time, Mss Haywood Is certainly
the most brilliant woman player OF the
present.
Miss HAYWOOD has received offers OF
large salaries 20 play exhibition bill
liards as a professional. She has re-
fused. one reason being that she has
plenty OF money In her own name and
her father Is very rich man.

Rv BILLY MACK.

BY BILLY MAIN.
Freddy Payne, the boss OF the Har-
Ian baseball club, has informed his ath-
letes to be ready next week for the
first practice Of the season. Freddy
intends 10 put another winner in the
field for Harlan. We will grant Freddy
this much. he Is a good manager Of a
ball club, and a mighty lne fellow per-
sonally, but he will have 10 go a long
way 10 land a second Johnny Cole. un-
Jess he again resorts TO major league
stars.
Little Johnny who held down the
third base. short stop, and second base
positions for Harlan last year Is going
70 take a Western trip in the near fu-
ture. Yes, Johnny has signed a con-
tract with the Oklahoma City club OF
the Western League, which Is a Glass
A circuit. What's more, he won't come
back until the season closes. There
are knockers everywhere, but more par
ticularly In this town. The only rea-
son we can see that a knocker uses the
hammer is because he Is not out there
himself Gentle readers, take a tip from
one who has mixed with the best and
brightest stars In the different branches
Of sport. Any time you hear a fellow
knocking. It is because he Is either
Jealous or Is sore on himself because
Of the fact that he has no natural abil-
ity. Nobody plays baseball because he
dislikes the game. Therefore. the old
saying runs true to form, Well II he
was any good he would be out there
getting the money"
Local friends and admirers Of Johnny
Cole will be glad TO learn that h. has
been signed up by organized baseball.
Last year he played with both Harlan
clubs. at different times playing third
base, short stop, and secOnd base. In
the fifteen games he played with Bll
Gallagher's Delaware River League
champions. he hit the pill for a .325
clip He played four games with Freddy
Payne's big league aggregation. which
included among its members, Joe Jack
son. the White Sox clubber, and Roger
Hornsby. the sensational shortstop OF
the National League.
Harry Lake. star catcher of the Vir-
ginia League, also OF the White Sox;
Lefty Williams. the White Sox twirler;
Bob Steele. who has been hurling In
major league circles for the past five
wears: Eddie Charity, catcher Of the
Washington Americans; Gus Getz, the
former Brooklyn innelder; Lee Dres-
sen. who played a season at the Initial
sack for Detroit, and Zinn Beck OF the
Yankees. Every man on Payne's club
was a major league ball tosser. except
ing the dimnitive local lad. The fact
that he was surrounded on the Geld by
major leaguers and at least two Of the
best players IN the country, did not
detrsct from his confidence. He went
out and made good with a vengeance.
He played a wonderful fielding game
and batted at a go clip which is pret-
ty good hitting for any younsster in
any league
The fact that Cole is going 20 play in
a Glass A circuit will not mar his
chances in the least; he has made good

MANY NOTABLES
 COMING TO WASHINGTON

Washington, September n.-(Special) Washington is putting on it's best bib and tucker For many notables ap- proach.
 Next week General Pershing, whom the English call Sir John," will be the guest of the city. The reception in his honor will be without parallel, and the parade will transcend any which ever featured an inaugural.
 October l Washington will entertain King Albert and his heroic Queen, peo- pie very close to the heart of America The Belgium royalty will be received with enthusiasm second only to that which will characterize the reception to General Pershing.
 Tn November comes the Prince of Wales, son of the jovial King of Eng land. The young man has won the ad- miration of Americans yhis conduct in the war and his democratic ideas in gen. eral.
 Also in November will cme GeaAral Foch, the greatest genius developed dur ing the world war. It is said also that it is probable that Georges Clemenceau, French premier, known as the Tiger ." will accompany the general.
 Cardinal Mercier, prince of the Rom an Catholic church, will be another vis- itor The cardinal will be received more as the man who remained in Belgium to defy the Germans than as a churchman.
 Italy hasn't nominated the man who will visit the United States to felictate this country for the part it played in the war. But Italy is strict observer of conventional etiquette, and it's notable man will come.

NATURALIZATION '. OF MINES APPROVED
One Man Casts Negative Vote With Sole Object of
 Being Shouted Down
By Associated Press

Cleveland, O., September n.--National- ization of mines as a general principle was approved this afternoon by the con- vention of the United Mine Workers of America with only one dissenting vote, with the sole object of being shouted down when he declared standardization ar impossibility. He later explained that present. Concrete proposals for nation alization are expected when the report of the committee of resolutions is pre- sented.
 The convention voted with the same unity for the day and five-day week in all coal mines--to be incorporated in the demands presented to the mine op- orators at the join wage conference at Buffalo September 9, but deferred dis cussion of specific wage demands until next week.
 During the afternoon Seymour Stead man of Chicago, counsel for Eugene V. Debs. and formerly attorney for the mine workers in the Cherry Hill mine disas- ter case, addressed the delegates on be- half of Debs, Rose Pastor Stokes and others convicted under the espionage act. He invited the mine workers to send rep resentatives to the American freedom convention at Chicago, September 26, called to press for their release and the repeal of the act. The convention will adjourn tomorrow on account of the fu- neral of John Mitchell, which will be attended by a large delegation from the convention.

DEMOCRATS FAIL TO
 PLAY GAME CAREFULLY

Washington September 1.-(Special4 The right in the Senate for the league of nations has not been admirably led from an administration standpoint. Sen ator Hitchcock. in the main, has content ed himself with orally opposing the re publicans, instead of playing the game as the republicans were playing it.
 The democrats acted more as individ- Uals than as a collective unit The point is best illustrated in stbe surprising an tics of Senator ,Pittman in connection with his introduction of reservations all legged to be acceptable 10 the President.
 Just how the evil was worked is inter- esting. When the President received the members of the foreign relations committee he stated that he would not particularly object to reservations in- dependent of the resolution ratifying the treaty. which reservations were to be simply an interpretation of the several alleged doubtful sections.
 A day or two later, Senator Pittman introduced reservations. His object was to calm the troubled waters and find a ground on which the President and the republicans might agree. There is no ground on which the President and the republicans can agree For the Presi- dent won't accept reservations dependent on the resolution of ratification, and the republicans insist. that such reserva- tions must be adopted While Senator Pittman did not say so, the idea obtained in places other than Washington that the reservations, as he introduced them, had the Presidents stamp of approval
 At that time, Senator Shields was in TennesseG. It is believed that he thought the reservations of Pittman were accept able to the President. At any rate, he announced in favor of such reservations. It is said that the President, in a letter directed to a friend in Tennessee, severe ly criticised Senator Shields. The people of Tennessee, at any rate, learning that Shields in supporting Pittman, was run ming counter to the Presidents wishes,

LEWIS PREDICTS SPLIT
 IN BOTH BIG PARTIES

Washington. September I1.-(SpeciaL) ) EX-SenatOr James Ham Lewis, in Wash ington on professional business, reiter- ates his former statement that in a po- litical sense the country had been split to pieces. It is his opinion that the peo- pie, next year, will vote for a man and not for the nominee of any particular party.
 Senator Lewis despaired of democrat ie solidarity. He said:
 The democratic party will be split into faction advocating the ideas of Jef- ferson and Jackson, and a faction ad- vocating the ideas of Wilson. The latter wing will be led by the President, of pacity of nominee. The former wing will be held by the Hearst papers throughout the United States Colonel Harvey and his school in the east and eX-Senator Bailey and Colonel Waiter son of the south
 Many democrats believe with Jack. son when, sore with Spain and France and England, he insisted just after the battle of New Orleans. that the United states remain in it's own back yard. This school will also continue to oppose the government meddling in state affairs respecting suffrage and prohibition.
 'On the other hand, the President will hold that part of the party which is ever looking for something new and bet ter. He will make his greatest hit in the west"
 Senator Lewis intimated that the coun- try was already tired Of republican leadership. He thinks the republicans will be as badly split next year as the democrats.

Washington, September u.-(SpeciaL) The desertion of Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia from the column of Presi- dent Wilson respecting the covenant of the league of nations, is notable for this reason:
 It leaves A. Mitchell Palmer Attorney General. alone of all the members of Congress. selected by Woodrow Wilson to serve on his campaign committee in 1912, still a supporter of Woodrow Will son.
 This is a remarkable fact which has caused a great deal of comment in Washington OH the part of those familiar with it. As is recalled, when MT. Will son was nominated, he asked several members of Congress who had rendered him conspicuous service prior 10 noml- nation, to become members of his cam paign committee. He asked James A. Reed, senator from Missouri. Reed has been one Of the bitterest critics of the administration and of the President He asked Senators Hardwick and Smith of Georgia Hardwick was so bitterly op- posed to the administration during the war that the President was forced to ask for his defeat Senator Smith has never heartily supported the administration, but he has not figured in the open as an opponent to the extent that daFdWlch figured But in the present emergency he has left the fold apparently for good.
 The Hardwiex and Smith cases are pe- culiarly interesting. During the spring of 1912, Georgia was deeply engrossed in a presidential primary. the candidates be- ing Mir Wilson and Oscar w. Underwood, Despi&e the fact that Hardwick and smith had known Senator Underwood for many years, and had lived always ill a state adjoining Alabama, they threw themselves vigorously into the fight fav- oring Wilson. They were so aggressive that they frequently clashed in the press with Joseph Brown, who was then gov ernor of Georgia, and supporter of Underwood.
 But as soon as Wilson was elected both became cool and then cold. Hardwick was defiant Smith was more adroit in his opposition. This situation continued until Hardwick was retired by the people
