SCHAEFER RETAINS BILLIARD TITLE,
DEFEATING HOPPE IN CLOSE MATCH

Chicago. March 20 (By the A. Ply
lake Schaefer tonight retained his
worlds 1872 balk line billiard champion
salp and by steady work he defeated
Willie Hoppe by the narrow margin of
SO points. He ended the third and final
block OF play with 1880 points to the
former champions 1863
Hoppe won tonights block, 5i6 to 500.
but Schsefer's As point lead gained in
the first two blocks proved too much for
the man who held the championship for
sixteen years.
Tonight despite his rather erratic
work under the strain of the titular con-
test. there were few who would dispute
schaefer's claim to supremacy. Hoppe
himself expressed the general sentiment
when he said:
Il have no excuses. There are none
better than Young Jake
The idol Of billiard players during the
past IS years then gathered his little
daughter in his arms and, with a few
friends, walked quietly from the hall.
On the stage the champion was sur
rounded by friends but through the
crowd a slim, bobbed haired girl pushed
her way. and throwing her arms around
The young victor said:
Il knew it Jake, oh I knew it,
II was Mrs. Jake Schaefer.
Within thirty days Schaefer Will le'
end his title against Welker Cochran,

lbly will be played here or in New
FORK.
The victory over Hoppe was unusually
sratifying to Young Jake" for when he
won the title from Willie last fall in the
tournament here, there were many who
thought his victories might have been
flukes. Furthermore, some Is years age
Hoppe defeated the late odd Jake
Schaefer, the present champions faith
er, and it has always been the young
Eter's ambition to prove his superiority
over Hoppe.
Tonight's play was extremely ragged
at times while occasionally it reached
unusual brilliancy. With the exception
of a 1O7 run by Schaefer in the second
frame tonight both players were very
nervous and off strike at the start
Hoppe settled down first and by steady
play took the lead for the first time to-
night only to lose 1t again moment la

oionshly form and ran 213.

In his last inning Hoppe seemed sure
Of running out, someone in the audience

Hoppe made the shot, but miscued OF

THERE'S A REASON WHY
FRENCH IDOL MUST FIGHT

One of the reasons why Georges Car
pentier continues in The boxing game
despite i'll health is the way that $780,
600 he received for his battle with Demp-
sey has dwindled. Manager Descamps
first took Is per cent. &nd the govern
ment took half of the rest in taxes
This left Georges with about $4,000 to
take back to France. The French gov
eminent taxed him 10000 francs, and
now the drop in the exchange value
of the American dollar has cut into
what was lef. for Georges neglected to
convert his money into francs. Dollars
were worth IA francs last summer, but
now they are worth only II.

Who goes there p
THE FURIo US FALCON

THE furious falcon was strutting
up and down the top of the
thick stone wall which surrounded
King Indig's Palace. 1t was a huge
bird, bright, red, and as large as 10
eagles.
Moreover, it was as good as an
army, for every feather in his big
strong wings was made of steel,
and sharp pointed like arrows. These
he had the power to shoot, hun
bred at time if need be, or thous-
and, if a powerful enemy should
come near.
As the falcon walked up and down
over the high gate that led into the
palace gardens he kept peering
about in all directions, being able
to see for miles and to shoot as far
as he could see. Moreover his ar
rows returned instantly to their
places so that he never ran out of
a supply. He was the only guard
that King Indig had-or needed
and everyone, including the kings
subjects, were afraid of him.
who goes there?" demanded the
falcon when Nancy and Nick, ac-
companied by crowd of the blue
headed Diddyevers, arrived at the
gate.

demanded the falcon.

"We're not going" said Nick
Were coming. May we see King

Instantly the Diddyevers began to
groan with fear. 1t was the first
time in the memory of their Oldest
inhabitant that anyone had dared
to contradict this =2ost respected
guard of the kings gate.

A PENNY FOR JOHN

THE Standard Oil company, more
interested in the present than in
the hereafter, has raised the price of
gasoline in the Chicago district a
cent and half a gallon.
That increase, applied all over the
country, would increase the nations
yearly gasoline bill $67, $4,000. A
penny, one way or the other in gaso-
lire price, makes a difference of
more than $45,OO0,0OO a year.
A powerful friend, the penny,
when treated with respect. It is
the core of individual success and
corporation dividends.

sUMTER's PRODUCTS.

CUMTER- county has long been
- famous for good roads, much cot
ton, fine hogs, fertile farms, waving
oat fields, wonderful peaches, splen-
did pecan orchards and plantations,
beautiful women, strong men, wealth,
conservatism and good citizenship.
But is appears to have made a new
bid for fame. The Birmingham, Ala,
News published a squib about Sumter
county few days ago that gives the
people of Sumter county themselves
new view of their home section,
that may be of interest 1t follows:
Il have some very intimate
friends who have just returned
from Sumter County, Georgia, and
they reported to me that all that
saved that community during the
past year was LII. DIS" said Gra-
ham Perdue. GAS | am a practic-
ing attorney-at-law, and the name
of the degree which a lawyer re-
ceives when he graduates is LII. d.,
| naturally felt quite proud of the
report which my friends had
brought back, but after listening
further to their conversation | con-
Guided that in all probability had
mot fully grasped their meaning
and asked them what they intend
ed to convey by LII. DIS. And what
do you think that they said? Why,
Lumber, liquor and dairies' Now
you know what the chief products
of Sumter county are"
Some may be inclined at first Ia
resent this quoted utterance as a
Islander on the good name of Sumter
county, but we are inclined to pass
it by as piece of intended pleasant
ny. The fact is, Sumter county has
practically no numbering except on
comparatively small scale; her
liquor industry does not flourish like
that of some poorer sections where
the temptation is greater; and dairies
have not yet become really estab-
lished, although that source of farm
prosperity is rapidly gaining in favor
and respect and before long the coun-
ty will be dotted with real diaries,
we believe.
In no section of Georgia are the
chief products lumber, liquor and
dairies" and in no section is that
statsment more true than in Sumter
county. In the first place, the three
never go together; in the second
place the first two named do not de-
note modern development, and Sum-
ter county is modernly developed
county.
People who know Sumter county
know the facts; they know we have a
county surpassed by none in Georgia
and one of the very finest agricul-
turally in the South. We produce
a little lumber and some liquor, and
we have a few diaries, but we have
many other chief" products.
