MAY BE PUNISHED
Boxers Weighed In in Viola
fion of the Rules.

CLEVELAND, Dec. A. special meeting
of the Cleveland Boxing Commission has
been called for Monday afternoon to
investigate why Pal Moore of Memphis
and Carl Tremaine Of Cleveland, ban
tamweights. violated the rules last
Thursday by weighing In at private
gymnasium instead of at the Central
Athletic Club before an inspector Of the
commission.
1t was intimated by members OF the
commission to-day that boxers in the
stables of Tommy Walsh and Jimmy
Dunn. managers, respectively, of the
two boys. probably would be disbarred
from appearing here for the remainder
of the season. II this is done II is likely
they also will be prohibited from boxing
in the state.
Moore and Tremaine were 10 have
boxed ten rounds here Thursday night.

HOPPE TO DEFEND
TITLE THIS WEEK
Meets Schaefer and Cochran
in Final Round of 1872
Championship.

The final round OF the second annual
national championship 1872 balkllne bill
lard tournament swill begin in the grand
ballroom of the Hotel Astor tomorrow
and continue through Wednesday with
matches being played each afternoon
and evening. With Willie Hoppe de-
Tending the title he has held for fifteen
years against the onslaughts of Wellker
Cochran and Jake Schaefer, winner and
runner-up respectively in the recent
preliminary tournament at San Fran
cisco. some of the keenest competition
seen In a long stretch OF the sporting
calendar Is promised.
The winner will not only be crowned
with the title and presented with 81
diamond studded gold medal, but he will
receive $4,000 in cash as well. The
player who finishes second will get
$1,000. while the third man will be en-
riched TO the extent OF $1,000 In this
way the Incentive TO win the title has
been enhanced to such an appreciable
extent that Cochran and Schaefer have
devoted considerably more time TO con-
scientious practice during the last year.
AS a result their cue prowess has
greatly mproved--ifnproved to such a
degree. In fact, that there are many who
concede them better than a fighting
chance against Hoppe.
Cochran and Schaefer viii meet in the
opening match tomorrow afternoon. and
Hoppe will meet the winner in the even
ing tilt Each Of the matches win he az
400 points duration, with play in the
afternoon beginning at 2 80 ana in the
evening at :ib. The schedule calls for
the players to meet each other twice
during the round.
All three OF the players have shown
such excellent form In their matches th,s
season that II IL confidently expected
that many of the marks which were set
in the first tournament a year ago will
be exceeded. During that event the best
averages recorded we're made by Home
and Schaefer, each of whom established
a record OF so. Cochrans best avera ee
at that time was a. 40, but welker
found much consolation In the fact tina,
he made the highest run recorded durine
the tourney, 265. Hopes best effort
was cluster OF 1s4 and Schaefer's wat

This year instead OF permitting al
of the leading balkliners to compete fol

thus clutter up the schedule Il was de-
cided to stage the event In two sections

BELGIAN HAS MADE
GOOD WITH THE CUE
Edouard Horemans Shows He
Is Worthy Opponent
for Willie Hoppe.

Whether Willie Hoppe ever consents
to make a match with him for the
worlds championship or not. Edouard
Horemans already has proved his de-
termination to earn his way into the
good graces of American billiard
lovers. The young Belgian left handler.
who holds the European supremacy at
both 1871 and 1872 balkline, has been
here less than three weeks. but in that
time has earned a large following of
admirers by the combination of his
brilliant performances and his likable
personality.
Horemans has posted $1,000 as a
guarantee to bind matches with the
American title holder at both 1871 and
1872, stating the conditions he would
prefer for arrangements for the
matches, yet making the concession
that he Is willing to submit any phase
OF the matter TO impartial arbitration.
so sure does he feel OF the Justice Of his
suggestions.
Hoppe previously had put UP for
felt OF $1,000 to bind meeting OF the
men. but when the money was covered
by Horemans il developed that Hoppe
was adamant on some OF the terms
under which he was willing to play
and would under no circumstances sub
nit them to arbitration. One of these
was an insistence upon the size Of balls
used in this country instead OF COM
promise upon balls more nearly the
size OF the larger ones employed IN
Europe. Horemans conceded this point.
but even then there was no retreat by
Hoppe on the other phases disputed.
Unless there should be some change
IN the attitude OF the Hoppe camp
within the next week or so, the Bel
gian intends to concentrate entirely
upon his exhibition work and matches
with the other leading American play
ers, meantime allowing his forfeit to
stay posted to be covered by Hoppe

boxing as the most lsbasing and dan
gerous sport on the calendar.
Indisputable facts show that In the
matter Of fatalities and injuries boxing
as compared with other vigorous sports
has a very modest toll Of casualties. but
the influences behtrh other forms OF
dangerous sport &.3 30 powerful the
reformers fear to attack. 1t would be
the height OF folly to argue that boxing
is not dangerous. but II cannot be denied
that It's perils are minimised by the
humane rules In force.
Nevertheless, when the noralist, seek
ing a target for abuse. looks over the
field, he/ finds his mark In boxing. He
might mention the automobile speed de-
mon, above whose space clearing car
scars a winged deaths head. He Nigh,
refer to the heavy cost In life and limb
Of football. He might dwell on the faet
that many member " college rowing
crews drop senseless over their oars at
the finish of a long race. He could pro-
test against long distance amateur run
ming races, in which contestants swoon
at the finish. He could clamor for the
stoppage Of professional baseball. In
which the casualties overtop those OF
any other branch Of sport.
There are. other things the reforrner
could find fault with. but he desists for
the very good reason that he knows the
interests supporting those forms of sport
would counter on him with damaging
effect. Boxing men, being imperfectly
organized at present. offer themselves
as fair game to the professional re-
former.
But the time is not far distant when
those who make a business OF meddling
with the business of other people will
discover that boxing cannot long be
deliberately misrepresented.

ty-five bird exents. he experienced de-
cided slump In form on the third Les
and. by missing three Of his possible, he
gave the otfprs a chance to catch up
with him. On the last twenty-five OF
all Lawrence missed once. and 1t was
then that SPOTS set his shoulder to the
wheel and shattered the string that
brought him up into a tie. AS noted
however, Lawrence had sufficient In re-
serve to be able to land the honors on

In the shoot-off were A. r.. Ranney and

FIREWORKS AT
LOUISIANA FAIR
TOBE BEST EVER
"The Siege of The DardenelIes" Will
Feature Spectacular Pyro-
technic Program.

Among the many costly attractions
booked for the 1920 State Fair of
Louisiana, to be held at Shreveport,
October 28 to November Z, inclusive,
is the most gigantic fireworks exhib-
itiion ever booked by the management.
1t will BE staged each evening in front
of the grandstand, with new features
included in each program.
The big feature of the fireworks
display will be the gorgeous spectacle,
''The Siege of The Dardenelles," call
ing to mind viyidly one of the most
terrific military undertakings of the
world war. Through this elaborate ex-
hibition some of the bloodiest and
most memorable fighting of the great
international conflict will be repro,
duced The representation will give
the spectators an idea of the magni-
tude of the Dardenelles campaign, in
which was sought the destruction of
the Germanized Turkish obstruction
A mammoth stage is required for
the presentation of this spectacle, and
numerous men and women participate,
including skilled performers. 1t repre-
sents large historical event and can
not be reproduced except on a large
scale. But the. management feels that
the State Fair Visitors are entitled to
the very best of everything, and has
gone to unusual effort to book this
entertainment, which will be given
under direction of the Thearle-Duffield
Fireworks Company, one of the fore
most concerns of the kind in the world
There will be many other pyro-
technic exhibitions on the program in
addition to THE Siege of The Oar
denelles," and the spectators, who are
expected to fill the grandstand each
evening, are assured of exceptionally
fine amusement.

SWINE SHOW AT FAIR
TO DRAW MANY HOGS

With E. L. Jordan, professor of ami.
NAL husbandry at the Louisiana State
University, in charge as superintend.
ent, the general Swine Show at the
1920 State Fair of Louisiana, October
% to November Z, will give the visit
ors an excellent idea of the advance.
ment this section TO the country is
making in raising fine hogs. The
Judging will be done by ]. ]. McLain
of Anna, Texas.
Competition in this department is
open to the world, and many herds
from other states as well as many
from Louisiana are expected to be
represented in the exhibits Ground
for this expectation is given by the
reports and inquiries reaching the
Fair Association. The premiums are
the most abundant ever offered at the
State Fair, and this is proving espe,
cially interesting to the prospective
exhibitors.
In addition to competing for tempt
ing premiums, exhibitors will have the
privilege of Offering some of their
stock for sale and receiving good
prices therefor. Each Fair attracts
livestock breeders who are anxious to
improve their herds and to take ad.
vantage of the opportunity offered
both at private and auction sales. In
other words, buyer and purchaser are
brought together, and, as a result, the
herds of this part of the country are
improved and those making the sales
are rewarded by the financial returns
they receive.
That Louisiana is well adapted for
the raising of fine hogs has been thor
oUghly demonstrated. Many have gone
into the business during the past few
years, due especially to lessons OBJ
tanned at the State Fair, but there is
still room for extension of the indus
try, and the exhibits and sales at this
years Fair will no doubt help in bring
ing on some of this improvement.
