Psychology Plays Heavy

Foreigners in Strange Setting Find Him Strong Oppo'

BY JOE MAYER
National Amatsur Chsnpisa 1918 snl 1915.

THERE Is no branch Of sport, firmly
i believe, in which the element Of
Psychology plays such a. an important
part a. it does in billiards. A certain
mental hazard creeps into the game,

How DO YOU explain the defeat Of
matches, two billIard stars " Of who whom w. We
have heard 30 much?'
1t IL q poser. I have been too busy
to answer, but sitting down alone to a
typewriter ! can make stab at the
solution at least. Perhaps I may be
miles from the truth,

their defeat. AIRY Bos, champion Of
Europe, was beaten yesterday afternoon
by Percy NJ. Collins, Of Chicago. With
Bos 1 can converse freely, for he

they're plain enough-to him.
No Alibis y
At any rate, neither of our distin.
guished foreign guests seem to be at all
given to alibis. They are good "sports"
and have taken their beatings with the
greatest good humor.
It's al in fun. What's game or

their spirit. 1t makes friends for them
right and left. .
But there's something underlying the
defeat Of two men whose grand aver

ably high runs who have been virtually
invincible In the amateur ranks across
the water. They could say a lot more.
For my part, ! think l can sense a
little Of their feeling as they take their
seats in the brass rallied enclosure to
start of in tournament for which they
have made q 5000 mile journey.
I pointed out in a previous article
that the mental make up must be alb.
solutely right in order to play perfect
billiards; that is, the mind and the
nervous system must be functioning on
"ail four" in a match.
Put yourself in the place Of these
foreigners and you will understand a
little Of what am driving at.
Tho Hard Ones
In billiards the thing abroad is to
make the difficult shot. All is sacrificed
for that. Winning Is not 30 important.

tract. but Baker informed Fletcher that
he must be reinstated by Judge Lands
before a contract may be offered.
The justly famous draft question
came in for an extended treatment.
After taking up various solutions ex.
pounded by Ebbets and Others. the
league decided to hand the hot chest
nut right back again to Judge Lands,
who. the club officials believe, was
hired to handle their hot chestnuts.
They passed this resolution:
Resolved, That every action of
Judge Lands in the matter Of the
draft is indorsed by the National
League, and be 'is assured of the sup.
port of the league in whatever future
steps he may take in connection with
bringing about the restoration Of the
selective system
1t is known that the league absolute
" declined to raise the offer Of $500
made to the Class AA leagues as a
drafting price.

But that's far from the real story, to
my way of thinking. Their mental con.

PRO FOOTBALL PROMOTER

Ranks Than In Amateur

Chicago, Feb. 15.-College students
who play professional football "aren't
any good to themselves. the college they
are supposed to represent or the team
they are playing for" according to
Chris O'Brien, manager Of the Chicago
Cardinals, a professional football team
here. In a statement made public today.
O'Brien announced his intentions OF
presenting a resolution at the next
meeting Of the American Football As.
sociation, calling for q black list BY
the association Of any football players
who violate the college amateur rules
while still in college.
I'm a promoter; I'm profes.
sional," he said. ~ couldn't stay in
sport six months II I didn't make any
money out Of it or II 1t didn't nay me
at least my expenses. But l do want to
say tint the 'cheater' has no more place
In professional ranks than be has In
amateur.
Promoters of professional football
realize that their sport is founded upon
the integrity of the college game, II
the college game is allowed to die, pro
fessional football will die with it.
We're only watching our own selfish
interests when We try to safeguard the
