SCHAEFER REMAINS
WORLDS CHAMPION
fBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, March 30-Jake Schaefer
today remained worlds champion at
1872 balkline billiards. In heart
breaking finish last night he nosed
out the veteran Willie Hoppe 1900 to
1,468. Thereby Young Jake" proved
conclusively that his previous two vic
tories over the man who for Is years
reigned supreme in the world of balk.
line billiards were not flukes and at
the same time erased from the family
escutcheon a smear marked there 15
years ago when Hoppe then a lad in
his teens, defeated the elder Jake
Schaefer the wizard" father OF
young Jake"
\ The match partook of none of the
unfriendliness of a "grudge" meeting
however, but was described by the
many experts from throughout the
country who witnessed the three
nights play as one of the greatest in
the history of the game between men
who for many years should remain al
the top of the heap.

HIGH SCHOOL TO HAVE
Nine THIS SPRING

Richmond high school will have
baseball along with the track work
this spring. Sentiment among the
several candidates for spring athletics
seems to favor baseball. The man.
agement already has scheduled several
track games, and will try to obtain
several baseball games.
Baseball games have been secured
from Stivers and Newcastle high
schools Stivers will come to Rich.
mond for nine inning contest, Satur-
day, April %, and Newcastle will be
played on May 20 and May q.
Although baseball has not been
played in the local high school for
five or six years, the material is plenti-
full and a good team can be rounded
into fair condition for some lively
games.
Interest in track work is not at all
keen at present, but Coach Stengcr
is looking for good turnout when
the weather conditions permit, and he
expects good track team as we'll as
a baseball nine.

PICK SPORTS WRITER
OF DAYTON PAPER TO
referee BOUT HERE

After considerable dickering be-
tween Young Webb. of Dayton. and
Mike Moran. of Indianapolis. princi-
pals in the 10-round main go of the
boxing program to be staged at the
Coliseum next Monday night, the
Dayton-Richmond Athletic club finally
settled the referee question by pick
ing Glenn Whitesell, sports editor of
the Dayton Daily News.
Moran was willing to meet Webb in
the local headliner, but specified that
a referee who had never worked with
Webb in the ring should be selected.
After several names were suggested,
it was finally agreed to get Whitesell
Whitesell has been refereeing the
shows staged at the Eagles club in
Dayton, besides doing considerable
work as third man in the ring through
out Ohio.
Whitesell is known as hard work
er in the ring and he always makes
the fighters give their best. He is al
ways moving, and the fans do not
have to give him orders to make them
break. With Whitesell in the ring, no
doubt every bout will be chuck full Of
action, as he never allows any stall
ing. The picking Of Whitesell should
be move in the right direction to-
ward keeping the game on the level,
as Whitley" has been very instrumen-
tai in placing the game on high
plane in Dayton through his news col
umns.
Arrangements are being made to
take care of real crowd at the Coli
scum. Extra chairs have been placed
in order around the ring and regular
ringside seats will be the order of the
night for those holding reserved seat
tickets.
Plenty of action is assured everyone,
as the six-round event between Johnny
Lucas and Bud Hill should be hum
mer, as should the setto between VIII
lie Estes, of Eaton, and AL. O'Connel,
of Dayton. The battle royal between
five colored gentlemen should prove
interesting, as these affairs always
produce action.
Seats for the show will be on sale
at the downtown smokeries.

HARD FOR PRESENT
FANDOM TO. REALIZE
BASEBALLS' VETERANS
By FRANK G. MENKE

About the most difficult task for
the present generation of fandom to
accomplish is the realization that Ty
Cobb, iris Speaker, Eddie Collins and
Walter Johnson constitute the 'Vet-
eran Quartet Of the American League"
. Yet today the entire quartet seems
very, very near to the end of baseball
usefulness.
It's possible that the mighty iris
may pass from the playing ranks be-
fore 1922 skids into history 1t won't
be because his eyesight has dimmed,
or that his baseball brains have dulled.
or that his amazing fielding instinct
is impaired. II it happens, It'll be
because of bad legs.
Bad legs ended the baseball life-
times of Tommy Leach, Willie Kee!er,
Napoleon Lajoie, Hans Wagner, Adri-
an Anson-ended the careers of all
the great ones at time when they
still could hit, still could throw, but
no longer could run. 9t-
Ankle Not Mended
The ankle which Speaker hurt last
summer and which kept him out of at
least 20 games during the most critical
period of the slam-bang pennant fight,
was thought to have mended. But in
training camp the other day it buckIed
under Speaker and it's doubtful if he
will be able TO perform through the
early weeks of the coming campaign.
Johnson knew the poorest year of
his career in 1921-slipped and foun-
dered around at certain times, was
knocked out Of the box frequently and
all through the year knew trouble with
| the mightiest asset-his pitching arm.
They nurse the hope within Washing
ton that the wing will come back this
year. But it is, at best, baron hope.
Troubled With Cataract
Cobb, dean of them all in the Amer
lean league. has been troubled with a
slight cataract over one eye. And his
legs have been giving him trouble.
They no longer seem as stout and as
accident-free as they used to.
Collins alone has escaped Gripping
of the legs. He has been playing great
| baseball. But the once whirlwind sec
ond sacker shows that age has been
| creeping into his joints and he is slow
ing up gradually but surely.
It's only when one delves into the
record books that one realizes how
time has fitted. Cobb arrived in De
troit in 1905-and this is 1922. Collins
started with the Athletics year later
and the ensuing season marks his sew
enteenth under major league stand
ard. Johnson pitched his first Ameri-
can league game in 1907 and through
all the years since then has been a
Senator. Speaker. the freshman" OF
i the group, didn't debut until 1908, but
that's IA full seasons ago.
How time fits.

QUAKER TRACKSTERS
MAY WORK TONIGHT

Preliminary track tryouts will PROB
ably be held at Earlham Thursday
evening unless the rain is still pour
ing down." Coach Move stated this
morning. The last practice before
the spring vacation is looked upon by
the Quaker coach as the logical time
to begin to cut his squad.
UP to this time the squad has been
composed of about thirty men which
is too large number for efficient
work. 1t is planned to select two or
three men in each event and concen'
trate the attention on them.
All of the old men are in good con.
dition with the exception of Wildman
who is suffering from strained ten
don. He is expected to recover from
this injury during the vacation. how
ever. Some of the new material are
showing promise and will be retained
on the regular squad.
The track team will not return from
the vacation early as has been an
nounced but Coach Move has instruct
ed them to keep in condition during
this period as only week will inter
vene between their return to school
and the first meet of the season with
Hanover at Hanover.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 30
Rainy weather again greeted the Gin
cinnati National league baseball team
at Wichita, and the game scheduled
to be played with the Western league
champions was called off, the Reds
moving on to Joplin where a game is
scheduled for this afternoon.
Manager Pat Moran took occasion
to express distaste for the present ex-
hibition schedule, declaring a team
should remain in the south until April
/. I'VE miss a lot of valuable train
ing time and the weather is so bad
in March that many games are can
celled and the crowds are small at
those which are played" he said. IF
i am manager next year, there will be
an entirely new plan for the training
of the club"
Friday night the Red team will be
split into two sections, the regulars
going to Springfield Mo-, for Satur-
day and Sunday, while the colts go to
Evansville to pay the Columbus team
on these dates.

EATON, Ohio. March 30.-Bob Fish.

this season. He was selected for the
place at a meeting of stockholders of
the club and the Eaton Baseball Park
association
Fisher was coach for the Eaton high
school basketball team this season,

CHICAGO, March 30.-Although

Americans and Nationals idle yester'
day. The White Sox, scheduled to
play at Shreveport, La, were awaken

HENRY DE BERRY,

The young catcher with the literary
name, tried out by the Cleveland In
dians several years ago, is fighting
for place in the back-stopping sun
with the Brooklyn Dodgers this spring.
He appears ready for the big show.
De Berry was given his first big
league tryout by Lee Fohl, then man.
ager of the Indians, in 1917, Henry
showed promise but needed much
more experience and Lee sent him to
Milwaukee Hank began his pro-
fessional career with Paducah in the
Kitty league in 1914. The next sea
son he played with Chillicothe in the
Ohio State league and then graduated
to New Orleans in the Southern Asso-
citation. His work there in 1856
earned him the trial with the Indians.
From Milwaukee he went to the New
Orleans club again and hung up an
enviable record with that club in
three years service. Injuries which
would have kept some players out OF
the game handicapped his last year
and his batting dropped to .25f He
fielded brilliantly, however.
He played baseball at the Univers-
ity of Tennessee before taking up the
game as a profession.
Richmond will try to avenge the de-
| feat handed her at Muncie last Monday
night by the Muncie polo team, when
| she lost to 8. The game promises
some lively competition no matter who
wins.
Only one more day until the Com
munity Service basketball tournament.
All of the teams have been practicing
hard for the games and expect to be in
the best of condition for the battles.
