SCHAEFER DEFEATS
COCHRAN IN FIRST
BLOCK FOR TITLE

CHICAGO, May 16.-Young Jake
Schaefer, worlds 1872 balk line bill
lard champion, tonight played some
of the poorest billiards in his career,
but suddenly reversed his form and
by shooting in really championship
fashion defeated Welker Cochran of
San Francisco in the first block of
their 1500-point match for the title,
The score was 500 to AL.
During the early innings the match
was so uninteresting that many per-
sons left the hall. Neither man
seemed to be able to handle his cue
with precision, each repeatedly miss
ing simple shots, although the leaves
also frequently were bad. At one
time Schaefer scored only % points
in eight innings, while Cochran was
but little better.
Billiardists said the poor play at
the start was due to the well known
i'll feeling between the two, each man
apparently trying too hard to win.
The champion finally recovered his
form and in the final three innings
averaged 120, including a beautiful
run of 202. He went out with an S5
in the fifteenth inning, leaving the
balls we'll together for his first shot
tomorrow night.
The score by innings:
Cochran-0, 72, "a. 2, 0, 0, 2, I,
o, II. 20, 81. 9, rs, 97-421.
Schaefer-1. 20. 0. 1, 0, 20, 3, 0,

LEGION To PUT
WINNING BALL
TEAM IN FIELD
Old Squad Reorganized By
Manager Mccoy = Play
Ajo Legion Team At
Aio Saturday

The local post of the American
legion is going to be represented on
the diamond by real baseball team.
Decision to that effect was reached
by members Of the post athletic COM
mittee yesterday when they deter
mined to reorganize the squad and
put a winning combination in the
field.
There is plenty of material, the
athletic directors believe, to mold a
fast aggregation and to this end have
set lines for some of the best play
ers of the community.
Manager Mccoy is determined to
make the legion squad one of the
fastest in the valley. A winning
brand of ball by the team is his
battle cry and he has outlined a prac-
tice schedule that will keep the play
ers in tiptop form at all times.
The former legion team contained
plenty of good material, but the
squad lacked team play. 1t was not
the smooth running machine that
Manager Mccoy had hoped for, so he
has recognized the club.
The new legion team will leave
Friday for Ajo, where it will play the
Ajo American legion team Saturday
afternoon. The Ajo squad is reported
to be exceptionally fast and good
brand of ball will be necessary by
the local boys to pull out on the
long end OF the score.
The recognized legion squad will
be outfitted with new uniforms for
their game Saturday. The new suits
are at hand and will be worn for the
first time at Ajo.
A squad of 12 or IS players will be
taken to Ajo, Manager Mccoy an
nounced last night.

Collins has a definite opinion on
the outcome of the National League
race He is strong for the New York
Giants. The White Sox played a
series Of II games in the spring with
the Giants, winning six of them.
Collins therefore had a very good
chance to a line on New York.

ed. The child was placed on ship
board by relatives and from that time
has never seen any one with whom
she was even acquainted before. By
her brave effort to keep back the
tears when the big ship slipped away
from the dock at Christiana, she i'm
mediately gained friends.
She became a favorite on ship
board and was well cared for during
the voyage. At New York the au-

that the little girl had arrived and
he sent transportation for her.
Little Margot was taken to Chi

the little girl was turned over to
another woman who was travelling
thru Sioux City. She gave the lit
