On Friday afternoon and evening Koji Yamada, champion of Japan will play balk-line matches with Erich Tagen1acher the much touted German champion who has been playing great balk-line billiards in New York city. It will be his third match and his first appearance out side of New ork.
 "Handless'' Sutton only recently made the highest run ever scored at 18.2 balk-line billiards, 799 at New York city.

Spears. who will play Sutton, here is noted as a, fancy shot player and will give fancy shots after the games.

BREAKING Down
Of WILL WORST.
DRUG EFFECT.
Charities Board Physicians
Say Addict Can't Reform
Without Aid.

One OF the Ill effects which drugs
have upon the human system Is
the breaking down OF its will power.
according to q member Of the Board
of Charities. under whose observa-
tion dope" cases have come in the
last few years. A whiskey drinker
can conquer the temptation by ex-
ercising his will power, but the drug
addict must essentially have assist
ance before he can stop using drugs.
Experience has shown THAI he cannot
voluntarily give up the practice.
Nor can an addict be treated at
home successfully. He must be
placed in an institution where medi-
cal men, specially trained In the
Treatment OF drug addicts, can sive
him their attention at all times.
He Stole from Family.
An instance OF the i'll effects Of
drugs on a man was shown recently
when an agent Of charitable organ
ization visited a home In this city.
The family at one time lived In a
comfortable apartment, but at the
time Of the agents visit II nved in
a squalid building. The mother
worked hard to make ends meet,
but the constant thefts Of the father.
who stole everything OF value he
could lay his hands on TO buy drugs,
prevented her from meeting the
needs Of the family. Driven to dire
need. she took her only child with
her and went back to her relatives.
From that time the husband went
from bad to worse until he finally
took his place with the human dere.
licts of the world. When the organi-
zation last heard of him he was
begging on the streets. His body
bore innumersble blotches as the
result Of pricks from hypodermic
needles. He was arrested as a va.
grant and was transferred from the
Jail to a hospital for treatment.
While he was a patient he escaped
from the institution.
In most instances that have come
under the observation Of charitable
organizations the adict would steal
from his best friend to obtain a sup-
ply of drugs. When an addict Of the
drug practice badly needs a 'shet'
he knows no friends.
Can't Hold Job.
One Of the difficulties experienced
by the addict IL the holding Of a
position. An employer generally re-
CARDS a dope fiend" as an unreliable
oiN ui'l tSt 'ls anu uotS
not hesitate about removing his
name from the payroll. Being with.
out money the votary Of the drug
practice is then driven to despera-
ton and he begins to steal. He
loses the respect OF his former com.
panions and they will not loan money
to him for they know to what use
he viii put 1t.
DR.. w. c. Fowler, health officer
of the District. said today that there
are men in business who are addicts
to the use of drugs but 1t Is not
evident. They can operate their
business as II they had never used
a drug. Therefore, il is difficult to
Ieterminne just how many addicts
there are.
