1872 TOURNAMENT
WILL Be HELD HERE
Championship Games Will Be
500 Points and Six Stars
Will Compete.
BY THOMAS J. GALLAGHER.

There have been just two things
settled with respect TO the tournament
for the championship Of the world at
1872 balkline billiards." said Charles p.
Miller, vice-president OF the Brunswicx-
Balke-Collender Company
The first is that tae tournament viii
be held in New York. the second that
the games will be 500 points. Whether
the event will be one of six or eight days
duration will be decided by Wednesday
or Thursday. II Is probable that there
will be only six players. Those who are
regarded as certain contestants are
Jacob Schaefer. William r. Hoppe. We'll
ker Cochran. Roger Cont, champion OF
France; Edouard Horemans. champion
Of Belgium. and Erich Hagenlacher.
champion OF Germany. There Is. how
ever. possibility that seven players
will participate. A round robin for six
will require fifteen games. Seven will
necessitate twenty-one. That difference
is likely 10 cause number OF players TO
be limited to SIX.
Mr.. Miller has received letter from
Erich Hagenlacher. In which the latter
states that he had agreed to match
with John Bruno, the Austrian cham
pion. The contest was to have been
1000 points. 70 have been played in Ber-
lin between July II and July 22 Incl

Rule. Dont Cover All Cases.

"One thing with which a university
should not concern itself Is the ques-
tion of student having played for
u,orey before entering college. IL after
entering school he obeys all the rules
that are laid down he should be allowed
to play.
Another weakness lies in the fact
that the rules do no cover the case OF
an athlete whose way is paid through
college by some enthusiastic alurnus or
through some money that Is advanced
for imaginary or overpaid Jobs. His
case Is the most fragrant violation OF
any. for he Is ectually being paid 10
rlay on the school teams that represent
themselves as amateur. Yet this most
unworthy type of athelete, demanding
concessions. and only interested in his
personal gain. Is allowed even thought
found out, 10 stay on the college team
with his status unchanged. How can
we demand a curtallment OF playing
privileges TO boys In vacation time. on
the ethical grounds that have just been
stated and yet ignore this other case7
There will be many who will agree
that all these things are fine and yet
scoff at the thought of making any prac-
teal enforcement OF them. These rules
can be enforced. The present weakness
is not that they cannot be enforced but
that the athletic authorities have not
earnestly tried 10 do So"

ANN ARBoR, Mich. July i5.--That ath-

Mr.. Mitchell recalled that as long as
serving the amateur rule little was done
to enforce IL. To-day necessity has
driven athletic authorities TO make a
beginning" he said, for the reason that
professional football and basketball
have added themselves to baseball In re-
cruiting in the college ranks to the point
where the professional game may jeop-
ardize the drawing power of intercollegi-
ate athletics.
"The colleges bar all men who are
professionals In the sense Of having
played for money. This rule has not
been strictly enforced since many tech
nical evasions are possible. and because
through lack OF understanding the SYM
pathies OF students, faculties and out
the offenders. The athletic officials
have made a Joke Of the rules. and this
has led the players themselves to dc
likewise.
"The college needs a rule on amateur
