GIRL CUE EXPERT TO
 TEACH GAME IN RIO

Mss Carolyn Virginia Plattner, an American girl with an abundance of business enterprises and much skill as billiardist, sailed recently on the Lamport & Holt liner Vestris for Rio Janeiro, where she will establish a billiard school for women.
 She is twenty-three years old and has been a cue expert since she was fifteen. Several years ago when on a trip through South America with her parents she defeated several men bill liardists in Buenos Aires and was then urged to start classes for the women of the Argentine. Because of her youth her parents objected to the suggestion but now Miks Plattner is handling her own affairs.
 There is craze for billiards now in Rio de Janeiro," she said, par ticularly among the women. It is be- coming an intensely attractive feature of amusements of the home. It is a wholesome thing and is welcomed by the Brazilian women because it tends to keep the men folk home in the evenings Men have not the patience to teach the women how to play we'll and that i6 one of the reasons why expect to make a success of the schoo I am to establish in Rio.''

BATTERY B'S WINNING STREAK IS
 BROKEN BY HARD HITTING NUGGETS

Before a sIashing and vicious attack the Battery B indoor baseball team met their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Nuggets on Monday evening before a crowd of 400 which hacked the Armory to it's capacity. The game was one of the best seen at the armory this season and when the Nuggets ceased firing and the smoke cleared the score stood IS to 12. The soldiers were like one in a dream, they couldn't believe 1t to be true. In fact they were so dazed at finding themselves defeated that they took the field again after the ninth inning un- der the impression that the game was not over. This was due largely to the fact that they were depending on 12 year old spectator to keep the score. The official scorer for the game was G. Connor, representative of the Hart ford Courant.
 In winning from the Battery team the Nuggets deserve no little credit for they were playing team that has had constant practice. Fast fielding by the Nuggets at critical times sav- ed the game when things looked bad and in the ninth inning with three runs already scored and three more on base the game was saved by Ed die Mckay who made a wonderful stop of line drive.
 The soldiers started off in the first inning like a whirlwind pushing five

 "Heartiest congratulations to Prince ton on her splendid victory. May your celebration tonight be most happy and may the relations between Princeton and Harvard continue close, and on the most friendly and sportsmanlike basis.
 James R. Angell, president of Yale wired hearty congratulations on the well earned victory. It was a hard game for our boys to lose but yours won fairly on their merits and our hats are off.
 With the reading of these the mass meeting broke nito a pandemonium ot full fifteen minutes for Princeton'S old and cherished rivals.

feat. Their best effort was only a few body blows that did little damage. They scored three runs as the Nuggets were playing safe and taking no chances. Madden was not trying to strike out his opponents but letting his men take care of them. With two out and three men on bases Mills hit terrific drive to Mckay. It looked like a safe hit but Eddie Stepped, leaped into the air and grabbed the hurtling sphere and with it the victory.
 It was real game both teams fight ing all the way. Mills played won derful game at second for the soldiers it was his all around good work that kept the score down. There were no individual stars on the Nugget team, it was case of brilliant team work and good playing of everyone that brought the victory for the Nuggets.

GoULLET, SIx-DAY KING
 IS TEAMED WITH BELOW

The first team made up for the six day race at Madison Square Garden on December has been announced by Manager Chapman, Alfred Goullet and Gaetano Belloni being the pair. It was expected by many fans that the "Sx- Day King would be paired with one of the American riders, but after try ing for several days to pick suitable man for the star, Belloni was finally decided on.
 Belloni was a dispatcher during the war and rode hundreds of miles over cross country, developing into one oi the best long distance men in the game when cycling was revived in 1918. His best forte was sprinting when he first became prominent on European tracks and since then he has been chased with the best distance men on the oth- CT side.
