Won't Modify
Petition Aimed
At Judge Lands

CHICAGO. Jan. 31.-Thomas ]. Suth-
erland. an attorney who recently filed a
petition TO Congress with Congressman
William Il. Mason asking an investiga-
tion Of Judge Kenesaw NJ. LAndis's con-
nection with baseball while still holding
a Federal position. last night wrote to
Congressman Mason refusing to comply
with the latter's request that the petit
ton be modified.
Mr.. Sutherland said that Mr.. Mason
had written him VIRTUALLY refusing to
present the petition in its present form"
and asking that changes be made be-
cause 1t seemed to reflect on the Fed
eral courts as n whole. He further
quoted Mr.. Mason as saying that "he
gloried in the fact that a man of
Judge Landis's calibre and standing had
been prevailed upon to take charge of
Americas sport"
The petition demonstrates that this
transaction Cthe agreement OF Judge
lands to become Baseball Commits
sioner) Is prohibited both by the letter
and spirit OF the Constitution and the
laws Of Congress and l can fad no
reason for your refusal TO get It before
Congress-" Mr.. Sutherland wrote Con-
gresham Mason.
THAT body is bound TO grapple Inn
mediately with this infraction Of the
law or publicly admit that it cannot
enforce Its laws aid that 1t has no re-
spect for the purity and dignity Of the
Federal bench"

Kingston Team Leads During
Entire First Half, but
Finally Loses.

Failure Of the Kingston Nationals
to watch their step yesterday after
noon at Central Opera House cost
them a chance to boast to-day Of a
victory over the champion Original
Celtlcs who nosed them out in the
last few minutes OF play by scoring
eight field goals, while the visitors
we're blocked off the cage. The final
score was 80 to %. The score does
NOT show just how hard a game II
was.
Tho first period came to a close
with the Kingston aggregation lead
ing by two points. Doc Newman
combination showed the Celtics a
surprising burst Of speed and a de-
fensive game that had the champions
pretty well mystified. At no time
was the visiting aggregation behind.
They got out in front right off the
reel and by fast floor work and
deadly field goals gave the Celtics the
scare OF the year.
Kingston kept the Celtios guessing
for a considerable period of the sec
ond half. They covered Johnny Beck
man and Mike Smolick, the two Gel
through the visitors defensive. King
ston watched Barry and let Smolick
roam. 1t was their mistake, and in a
few minutes the Celtics had evened
Up the SCORE
Once on even terms with the visi-
tors the champions put on extra
steam. The Kingston combination
was tired by Ohis time, having eX-
haJsted itself to get and hold the
lead the first period.
In the last seven minutes OF play
the champions scored eight field
goals at the same time putting a
stone wall in front Of their own bas-
ket. Only two field goals were scored
by Doc Newman's team in the second
period
Barlow with four field goals to his
credit, starred for the visitors. SmO-
lick, with six, did the best work for
the champions. Barry made five field
goals and crashed through the King
ston line several times for the Gel
tics.

Foreigner SurpaSSes Old Fig

TEEE remarkable feats Of Edouard
Horemans, the Belgian billiard

TIME remarkable feats Of Edouard
Horemans, the Belgian billiard
list, at 1871 and 1872 balkllne,
form the chief topic of conversation
in billiard circles. His runs OF 701 at
1872 and 2O7 at 1871, both of which
ecllpsed anything ever before record
ed at these styles OF play under
championship conditions, have led to
many discussions and comparisons
with the work OF other cue wielders.
Frank Ives and Willie Hoppe have
been infinitely examined and even the
stanchest supporters OF these other
stars have been forced to admit that
their performances dwindle into al
most insignificance when submitted
to the glare OF comparison with HOre-
mans's recent work.
Althoug the records made by Hore-
mans cannot be accepted offiC ally
as worlds marks because. they were
made in exhibitions, the fact stands
cut in bold relief that they were made
under the same ConditionsO that OBJ
tain in championship jousts. The table
was full 5xl0 had been levelled, ac-
curately marked with the balklines
and was covered with the best grade
Of S monis cloth.
The balls had been measured AMI
weighed and found TO be as perfect
as any set Of championship worries
over employed. Furthermore, and
what II really of greater Importance
! when making the comparison with
other record making achievements
| the DR. Harley Parker anchor box
| II seven inches square was drawn at
the anchor spaces.
The evening world., 1921-01-31
HOremGnS, Belgian Cue Star,
Scores Record High Runs
Under NeJU Playing Conditions

No such barrier existed when Ives
and Hoppe made their runs. 1t is this
fact that makes Horemanss perform
ances so impressive. with the seven
inch anchor box IL is impossible for
any OF the continuous nurses, fire.
quently used in the past to make high
runs, to be used. The anchor, chuck
nurse and rub nurse are effectually
barred by the anchor box in its pres
ent form. 1t leaves only the line
nurse. and this cannot be- chased as
a continuous nurse for the position OF
the balls Is continually changing. In
other words, there Is no chance now
to play continually OFF a frozen bar
as was possible when the chuck nurse
was permissible.
When Frank Ives made his run of
~ In 1895 at Madrid, Spain, It was
| at li.2 balkEne on a IL table
The anchor was barred, but no an
Choir box was drawn on the table and
1t is generally believed that Ives used
the chuck or some similar nurse.
When Willie Hoppe made his run
Of Cyl in Paris in 1906 the anchor
shot was barred but, again, no anchor
boxes were drawn on the table. 1t Is
reasonable, therefore, to assume that
Willie used the chuck nurse to some
extent.
The fact that no anchor boxes were
drawn on the tables when these per
formances were being made means
that perhaps twenty or more times
during the runs the balls were in
anchor and permitted to remain there
for a series OF shots. This would
| have terminated the runs under pres
ent day conditions.
The entire development OF ballclne
! billiards il built around the anchor
box. Jake Schaefer was the first
| player to make a sizeNble run. While
! playing against Frank Ives in 1893
! Schaefcr ran 34S and won the match
by a score OF 1000 TO 1855. Tine
! Wizard" used the anchor shot in this
run. He really was the first player
TO perfect IT, At that time 1t was a
| legitimate shot.
