The manufacturers declare the ball
to be unchanged. They declare 1t Is
the best ball ever made-which may
be true. The players, managers and
every one else knows that the ball
which was In use during the early
part Of the season was much livelier
than balls used in other seasons.
did not hear any one criticising
its qualities, excepting that they took
the thrill out of long drives by max
ing them too common.
Now comes a greater mystery.
During the debate over the lively
ball. which extended all over the
country, and when in some quarters
there were protests against 1t, an
agent for the manufacturers APP
preached at least one man whose
business Is baseball, with a request
that he try out some new balls with
which they were making tests
II there, is no change in the ball.
II it is exactly the same, why request
trials in real games?
Another mystery: Late In June
about June %, believed the man
ager Of one Of the major league
clubs talked with several members
of his pitching staff who were dis
satisfied with the ball, claiming that
it affected their work.
He treasured them. telling them
that the stock OF lively balls would
be exhausted about July l, and that
after July 4 there would be no more
of them in use.
Why the deep mystery about the
ball? How did this manager know
late in June that a less resilient ball
would come into play on or near a
certain date? Or did he simply guess
and hope to reassure his pitchers BY
telling them that story?
Just why there should he any
mystery about the ball IL hard to
figure. II the Manufacture wants
TO improve a ball, or the club owners
and officials want livelier ball, there
is no reason why they should not
have II.
There was a rather insi.tant and
natural demand for more hitting. a
demand from tho fans the nlselves.
II the fans got too much hitting.
instead Of just enough, IT surely
could not be blamed upon the manu-
facturers or the club owners.

Willie Is Willing to Take or

NEW YORK, July 2s.-In reply
to the published story that Jacob
Schaefer and Edouard Horemans,
the Belgian player, were seeking a
billiard match with champion Will
lie Hoppe hut had not elected a
reply from the title holder. r. B.
Benjamin. manager OF Hoppe. last
night stated the terms upon which
Hoppe will meet any challenger.
II will be prepared any day this

$4,000 to $4,000 to bind match
between Schaefer or Horemans
and Hoppe for anything from one
point to 5000 at 1872 balkllne,"
said Benjamin. This carries with
II the stipulation that the winner
take all. The match can be played
any time following the annual
championship tournament which
will be played in November.
For several months there have
been limitations that Hoppe would
not meet Horemans or other chal-
lengers in a match for his title.

that Hoppe will not defend the
championship. He Is not ONLY will

of the winner take all. IL his
chslicr gers or their hackers are
sincere they need wait no longer
than this week to close terms for
match. The terms are simple
and I am ready to post the money"
Benjamin was moved to make this
announcement because of a story in
which 1t was stated that Horemnns
had commissioned Maurice Daily TO
arrange a match for him and that
no response had been forthcoming
from Hoppe or his manager. 1t
was also stated that Schaefer was
willing to back himself against
Hoppe and that he also had other
backing for the match. Charles
Tennes, of Chicago, is mentioned as
being willing to back Schaefer and
Is quoted as STIMULATING that he does
not want a small game. Schaefer
Is expected to be back in the East
some time next month and Hore-
mans is expected to return to this
