victory.
As said when 1t was announced
that Horemans had been matched to
play Schaefer and Coonran. the
European champion had a great deal
more at stake than the $1,000 each
match was played for as his avowed
purpose in coming to America was to
seek match with William j.. Hoppe.
the undefeated champion for these
many years.
HOPPE DIsPOsEs OF BOTH.
Hoppe has systematically disposed
of both Cochran and Sehaefer in COM
petitive play two years In succession,
though neither one of the youthful
contenders has shown in their playing
with the champion any such class as
they have exhibited while playing
Horemans.
Now that the visitor from Belgium
has been beaten by the only two men
in the country who have aspired to
Hopes crown in the past year, II is
not at all likely the champions man.

PEELED to arrange a match, although
he has professcd a Willingness to do
SO provided Hoppe could have the

the match arranged for fall. saying
the champion had exhibition dates
to keep him busy till the end Of the

KN|CKS STACK UP
WITH FINE CLUB
Carroll DAILY Produces First
Class String for Coach
Bill Rapp.

Knickerbocier Club baseball play
ers. out in fun force yesterday under
Coach Bill Rapp. appear to have fine
prospects for the season. According
to the knicks they are going to be
second to none this season.

Hollwo" is a natural amphitheater, and
from expectations more than 5000
will be in attendance at the games
this year. with the prospect OF every
spectator getting a fine view of pro-
ceedings.
Manager Carroll DAILY comes for
ward with the statement that the
Knicks will have a better team than
that which made history last year.
1t was chiefly through Dalys efforts
that the Knickerbocker Club became
known in baseball. After that the
big Georgetown organization grew by
leaps and bounds to the point where
1. is now a sizeable athletic club
with house, weekly newspaper and
everything that goes to make for a
substantial organization.
Daily opines that he will have a
fine collection of players for Coach
Rapp. For catchers Poore. Cold
smith Lacy, Bessley, ONeill and
Heitmiller are lined up.
Freeman, Sullivan and Frye are the
hurlers to date Gill and Homan are
ready for first-baseIng honors, with
Strawn, Shorey. Covert, Wise. Oertel,
Busby and Smith in the other infeld
berths as occasions demand.

worked out.
Manager Daily is looking for games
with the best teams in the District,
Maryland and Virginia. The Silver
Springs. Rex A. c., Cardinals, Claren-
dons and Brooklands are preferred.

Cochran's grand average was 30;
that OF Horemsns $3.50. This Is much
the smallest average the European
has shown in play since he arrived In
this country last December. and
would seem to lend strength to the
comment frequently heard at Days
in this city the week before. when
Horemans was beaten by Jake Schae-
fer, another American youngster, who
established two new American records
in the last day OF play and over
whelmed the European, who had led
the way in the first five days of play,
that the visitor was tired and over
played.
MATCH WENT $500 POINTS.
That match went to 4.S00 points.

Horemans A sO-1oO. ! Contrary to the
match in New York, Horemans trailed
all the way at Detroit. but so close to
Cochran that IL 1t had not been for
the latter's wondeEful play in the 300
point block Thursday night, when he
ran his string out in two innings for
an average OF $50, while Horemans
got just one point In his one chance
at the table. there might have been a
different story to tell today.
Both players showed the strain in
their last block, Cochran going to
play five times without scoring and
the European missing three ttipes.
