Billiard Verdict
For Bob Cannefax
Expected To-day

The chances are that a verdict in
the controversy regarding the three
cushion billiard championship of the
world between Robert Cannefax, of ST.
Louis, and Aldredo De Orc, which has
been hanging fire since their meeting
at the Friars' several weeks ago
VIII be disclosed to-day. And the in
dcations are that Cannefax will be de.
clared the victor
When De Orc filed his protest with
the Brunswick Bake Collender Com
pany following his defeat by Cannefax,
the Brunswick concern, rather than as
sumo the responsibility of deciding the
dispute involving $4,000, referred the
matter to the Billiard Advisory Board,
the supreme court of billiards.
This board is composed of Maurice
DAILY and Charles P Miller, of this
city; Tom Foley, l.. A. Bensinger and
II. 2. Davenport, of Chicago; w. Mus
sey, of Elyria, Ohio; Charles Petersen.
of st. Louis, and Sol. Allinger. of Phil
adelpha.
Advices from the Chicago Office Of
the Brunswick Bake Collender Com
pany are to the effect that the Western
men, to unit, are for Cannefax, but
the company will make no definite an
nouncement until the signed statement
OF the board is received. In the mean
while all bets are held in suspension.
IT Cannefax is awarded the title his
end of the purse will amount to S2,65O.
while De Orc will draw $3.50.

Schupp and Toney
To Try Out Arms
Against Cardinals

The rain snatched the shudderin
Cardinals right out of the jaws of the
Giants yesterday. 1t also caused the
customary distress to Charles Ebbets,
the good old squire of Flatbush, by
postponing the Dodgers encounter with
the Prates who are lowering in this
vicinity for the first time this season.
In addition, one is reminded of the
fact that the double headers for later
on are piling up with considerable
celebrity.
Right now the prospect of a lot of
double headers is far from comforting
to the Giants. They have a limited
and problematic force of pitchers, and
double headers require lot of hurlers
But it is certain McGraw will have a
hurting staff to meet whatever contin-
gencles may arise as the league race
gets anywhere near crisis.
Ferdinand Schupp the young star
who failed so sorrowfully after a sea-
son of wonderful promise, is reported
to be rounding rapidly into shape. 1t
is highly probable he will be given a
trial against the Cardinals. They look
soft enough at present for experiment
tai purposes. Fred Toney, who has
been working out faithfully every day,
is another pitcher who may make his
seasons debut against Branch Rickeys
guinea pigs A lot of experiments may
be tried on them unless they show
some strength that has not been ex-
hibted so far in this present palp-
tating season.
Wilbert Robinson is contemplating
some shifting of his infeld Ray
Schmandt, who has been doing nothing
but make the motions in a pinch, may
be seen back at work in the infied.
During the training season at Jackson
VILE he looked like a wonder before he
was spiked. He has recovered entirely
from his injuries and is too good a
man to be warming bench
Robbie does not look forward with
terror to the flood Of double headers.
He has the pitchers and all of them
appear to be in shape. When the de-
layed games start he looks for the
Dodgers to take squirt that will an
noy the leaders-if the Dodgers do not
happen to be the leaders at that time.

Jack Dempsey Spars

TOLEDO, Ohio, May 22.--Dempsey
did his first boxing to-day, stepping
two rounds with Willie Doyle, light
weight. The workout was in the ma
ture of a frolic for the challenger. He
also took swim in the icy waters of
Maumee Bay, and was the only man in
camp who had the nerve to brave the
cold plunge. Earlier in the day he
took a six-mile hike on the roads and
later played a game of handbal.

NEW HAVEN, May 22-What looked
like an insidious plot on the part of
Harvard to "vamp" Yale out of this
years regatta on the Thames has been
uncovered and foiled. Theda Bara, Nor

pictures of Theda Bara. Professor
Abbot pauses before a portrait Of Miss

Reel 3-Professor Abbot conceals
himself behind a lamppost in front of
the Globe Moving Picture Theatre. He
watches the crowds going in. The CAP

the theatre. He is followed by the

They'll vamp No More

Anyhow Professor Abbot has taken
the Yale crews from the baleful influ-

minds are now concentrated on the

ASSESSMENT VALUATION IS
LESSENED OVER LAST YEAR
The Board Of Equalization, compris.
ing the County Commissioners,
Adjourned Last Saturday

The assessment roll was gone over
very carefully and in great detail and
number of assessments in each Sec
ton were either raised or lowered
frow the assessors original figures.
At the close of the proceedings the
roll was turned back to Assessor
Boynton for revision. This work is
proceeding as fast as Mr.. Boynton
and his assistant, Werner Jones, can
handle it. The actual total of the
roll cannot be ascertained until the
revisions are completed, but those
who have kept tab on the present as
sessment and the revisions, say the
total will be somewhere between six
teen and sixteen and one-half million
dollars; and will not exceed seven
teen millions. The assessment last
year was approximately nineteen mil
lions.
The budget of expenses for the
coming year recently made out by the
commissioners has also been cut
down. These two items will no doubt
lower the taxes for next year to a
noticeable extent.
