CONT, FRENCH GUEST,
HAS RISE LIKE HOPPE

Tho meteoric rise in the billiard
world of Roger Cont, French cue
marvel. has attracted as much atten-
tion in Europe as Willie Hopes

some twelve years ago. Cont will
play in the championship tournament
in Chicago next month.
Born in Toulouse in 1901. young
Cont began to WELD a cue in his
fathers billiard parlors when the top
of his head was hardly visible above
the tables. He used a stool to make
some of the more difficult shots. In
his early teens he defeated many of
the ablest players in Europe at balk-
line.
Recently he gave Doruet. one of the
ten best French players. $50. and beat
him In 500-point game, running out
in five innings.
He is weakest on masse shots. but
this fault is overcome by marvellous
position play and nursing.

BUFF GIVES SHARKEY
CHANCE TO LIFT TITLE
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, October 2s.-Next on
the worlds championship bantam
weight title calendar will be the just
popular young New York Italian. Jack
Sharkey. He has been matched to
meet Johnny Buff. the present cham
pion, in the garden on November II.
according to announcement made by
Tex Rickard today.
Sharkey is the boy who fights in
New York. shading boxers by u good
margin and getting nothing but draw
decisions or holding boxers even. and
then being tagged by the judges as
loser. Sharkey is no kicker: whatever
decision has come in the past he has
kissed his hand to the Judges. slapped
his successful opponent on the back
and beat 1t to the showers. A fine
boy is this little Italian with the Irish
cognomel
He first came into fame when he

occasion of the nywsight kings visit
lost his laurels when Joe Lynch put
him away after one Of the niftiest
battles ever seen in this city. Sharkey
slumped after that battle. and did not
stage comeback until his last ap-
pearance at the garden, several weeks
ago. There are many who believe he
will cop Bluffs bantam title.
If he doesn't, then it's only a ques-
ton of time. the fans believe, when
some bantam-perhaps Phil O'Dowd-
who looks to be the real goods-will
take the heavier of Buff's two crowns
away from him.
O'Dowd's victory over Joe Lynch at
the garden Wednesday night made a
hit, even over a big crowd of Lynch
partisans. That was because he
showed himself to be such a fne all
around fighter.
Joe Lnych did his training up in the

twelve innings.
Greenleaf. holder Of the title, will
meet Arthur Woods. Minneapolis, to-
night in the final match for the cham

GEORGIA.AUBURN GAME

ATLANTA. Ga, October 29.-The
major foot ball teams Of Dixie will be
matched against opponents of equal
ranking today in more than dozen
games.
The Georgia Auburn game. at CO.
lumbus, Ga. should be the top

erful teams and a glance backward
shows there has been little to choose
in the past. Auburn defeated Georgia
Z to o, in 1919. and lost to the Red and
Black by that score last year.
Georgia's showing against Harvard
a fortnight ago makes the team the
favorite in the eyes OF many. but
Auburn has an advantage also in
that its coaches have been able to
