Chicago. Dec. 10.-Fighting one
Of the toughest uphill battles in
the history OF angle billiards, Clar-
ence Jackson Of Kansas City de-
feated Augie Kieckhefer. IS to 20,
in 80 innings, yesterday afternoon.
The defeat relegated the local
southpaw to lyast place in the
championship race, marking his
third straight defeat. Jackson still
has chance to get into triple tie
for first place providing Bob Can
nefax defeats John Layton in the
/, final scheduled game.
The uncertainty of three cushion
billiards never was better demon
strated than in the contest. which
saw the last hope Of Chicago dis
appear. Opening with 3, Augie
sped along with deadly accuracy,
while Jackson's play was in direct
contrast. and it was almost pa
thetic to see him shooting SO poor.

With the count standing s to Z.
Augie began to pile up points and

20 points, which he increased to
30 in his half of the 36th inning.

FRAGILE, but run of 6 awoke him
from his siesta. kieckhefer kept
counting, and in Al innings led. Al

For the next 10 innings Kieck-
hefer struggled as Jackson had
done, and two lone singles was his
gross product. Jackson ran 6 in
the 5lst inning. following with
and trio of doubles. was only
five points behind in the. Goth in
ming. the count being 40 to Is.
Not To Be Shaken Oh.
Augie again pulled away to a
10 point lead, but the indomitable
Jackson gathered a run of and
again was only four points in the
rear. When Augie reached the
seth inning he led 70 to 6, and still
loked like winner, but Jackson,
playing beautiful billiards, scored
his needed IL points and by good
safety tactics kept Kieckhefer from
making another.
| kieckhefer undoubtedly took
things too easily when he had his
big lead but In the concluding
stages Jackson played as fine a
game as any one could wish to see

While the spotlight Is tllum1ning

TX. C." watch-charm and Cub fans
are elated over his return to the old
lair Is manager, it Is no easy task
to associate the Evers Of today
with the Eyers Of yesterday-away
back when he first broke into base
ball.
1t will be remembered that Evers
spent only about three months in
the bushe, as member Of Lew
Bacon's famous old Trojans in the
New York State league. That was
back in the summer Of 1902. How
times have changed since Bacon
picked Eyers the busher OF the
sandlots of Watervliet, N. Y, which
is directly across tAe Hudson river
from Albany.
Probably nobody in these parts
ever heard Of the day when Johnny
was introduced to HIS first profess
sional umpire. Butt back in York
state around Albany, Troy and
Watervliet, that fateful day is often
recalled. l saw Johnny play that
day, partly By accident and partly
from intimate acquaintance with
Lew Bacon.
I'll bet dollar TO a smelt that
Jack Tighe remembers Lew Bacon.
Jack was right in the pink then; l
guess he was playing for AL Buck
cnburger in Rochester. Anyway, l
was spending that summer vacation
in Al amont, resort near Albany.
One day We came into town and
ran into Bacon in Keeler's hotel.
In those days We hung our hat
in Binghamton. N. Y. famous for
producing such baseball stars as
Wee Willie" Keller. Otto Jordan.
Lou Ritter. etc. Harry Lumley and
Frank Schultz hailed from Union,

LAST, THE COED CITIZEN.

AT LAST. TIE GbUD ClAlLEN.
Often tenpestuous on the field.
Evers was never excitable after the
game. The reason why he was so
easily burned up" during game
was because he often knew the
game better than the umpire, who.
perhaps, had ruled enormously.
Johnny knew the whole rule-book
by heart 1t used to infuriate him
when he knew he was right and
the umpire wrong.
The last time l heard Johnny
speak in public was at the annual
banquet of athletic letter men at
Syracuse university in April,
1917. It looked rather grotesaue
to see him sitting at the speakers
table among all those college deans
and professors. Even Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy. was
there.
Everybody around those boards
agreed after Johnny had spoken.
that his toast would be remembered
long after the others. He gave a
message from the major leagues to
the college athletes without slip
in grammar or elocution. II was
the first time I knew he was an &C
complished public speaker, along
with his many other attributes.
Evers owes everything to base
ball; moreover, he admits it.

This season might be- termed one in'
which fashions. that have been hOat-
ing about like straws In the breeze,
become crystallized. 1t Is a question,
observes fashion writer. as to wheth-
or dressmakers are less creative than
Of yore or whether the styles OF the
past two years have pleased women
80 thoroughly that they nre loath to
abandon them.
Il must be said that In the near
past designers attempted new and
wider sllhouettes, but these did not
find any permanent favor. There are
always few women looking for novel
ties, and these were the only ones TO
whom the fantastic features Of the
hip-extended frocks appealed. The
Parisienne absolutely refused to adopt
them. French women have worn too
many good clothes and are too fond Of
their personal appearance to accept
anything fantastic or bizarre.
The majority of our styles TIRE
launched in Paris, but there have been
several points In dress on which the
American woman and the Parisienne
have disagreed. On the silhouette,
however, they are absolutely Of one
mind. 1t is tribute to the good
