FORDHAM STRONG IN
PITCHING MATERIAL
Promising Newcomers Join
Three Able Veteran Twirlers
Play Penn on Saturday.

The Fordham baseball team. which
weeks. Is in fine shape for the opening
game OF the season with the University
OF Pennsylvania nine on Saturday. There
are now twenty-five men left on the
squad. This number is composed OF six
pitchers, three catchers. eight inflelders
and four outfelders. Eight of these were
regulars on last years nine. while three
others were cvarried along the whole
season as utility men.
Jack Coffey and Billy Keane. the
Maroon baseball coaches. are very op-
timistic over the teams chances for sue
cess in the coming season. pitching and
catching departments being strong
Mcnamara. White and Waters. consist
ent winners IN the box last season. ana
Cousineau. varsity catcher for the last
two years still remain. In addition
these men win be aided by Leo O'Brien,
Fl. vanderbach and Wilson. pitchers. and
Howe and l.. Vanderbsch, catchers. The
vanderbachs are brothers and formerly
composed tho star battery team of the
Clffside High School nine of New Jer-
sey.
Quite a few changes viii be noticed in
the Maroon infield. At first base, the
position left vacant by Bill McLaughlin's
graduation, will be either Harry Scher-
merhorn or Mike Hayes. IL Hayes can
improve in his hitting he VIII receive
the assignment while Schermerhorn. a
batter of known ability. will be trans
ferred to the outfield. The second base
position Is a toss up between Shankey,
who played that position last year. and
Cavanaugh. forward on the basketball
team. Shankey has the edge In batting,
while Cavanaugh excels in fielding
Ii can be said safely that I'D Malley
win retain his old position at short.
Malley is no wonder at the bat, but he
is a sure fielder. He far outdid any
thing that any competitor had to offer.
The third base position probably will be
filled by Mike Dunn. football and basket
ball veteran. Dunn originally was an
cutfelder, but was soon converted into
an infielder by Coffey. He IS heavy
hitter. Three other third basement
Williams. Landry and Tommy Mayors,
captaln-elect OF football--have been re-
tanned. however.
The putfeld, provided Schermerhorn
is retained at first base, win be COM
posed OF Boutot Donovan, Keough and
Healey This IS Donovan's fourth and
last year on the team, and the third year
for Keough. Healey, football end and
basketball guard. was one OF last year s
utility men. Boutot, varsity quarter
hack, IL playing A. he first time.
Though he A. Junior IN tho college de-
partment, he never came out for base
ball before. He is one Of the hardest
hitters on thk squad.
Among Fordhan's opponents arc Co
lrlmbia. Yale. Georgetown. New York
Giants, Boston College, Princeton, West
Point. North Carolina. Catholic Univcr-
s.ty, Lehigh, Holy Cross and Vermont.

Willie Hoppe to Get Chance
to Regain His Cue Title
Champion Jake Schaefer and Challenger to Meet To-
morrow in Chicago in 15OO Point Match for
1872 Balkline Championship.
by THOMAS y. GALLAGHER.

the contest are a subject OF general
consideration. 1t is contended that, II
beaten. Schaefer will lose title and
professional prestige. while Hoppe. IL
he wins. will recover prestige, whereas.
If he loses. he will practically be no
worse than he Is at present. Senti-
ment relative to which of the two
players will be under the greater
strain Is about equally divided.
Schaefer's adherents point TO tho fact
that In order to win the championship
he had to beat Hoppe twice, once in
the tournament proper. at 400 points.
and again In q play-off. at 500 points.
and that having had the ability and
aggressiveness to accomplish those
feats he win be inspired and confident
when no goes to the table 70 defend
his championship.
They also ask: rs Hoppe so imper-
turbable that he will not be impressed
by those reverses, that he will forget
them?"
He was beaten 400 to 2s and 500 10
346. OF course no sane person who
knows billiards expects that tho pend
ing match will develop another dis
parity corresponding to 400 TO 26. In
that game Hoppe had six innings and
averaged 2-6. He simply could not

factors In this match. But II seems as

enough to enable participants 10 attain

opinions are reflected by the wager

he has made some progress is mighty
bad thing. So Bancroft is nursing his
strain in harness. He is playing as
great a game as ever he showed last
season. His fielding has been a feature
In every game in which he has partici-
pated--and he has done a little hitting
too. He hasn't struck his batting stride
as yet.
Heinie Groh Is making haste slowly
He never pushes himself In the spring.
and In spite of the fact that he Is with
new club he is not trying to do so
this year. Groh Is fielding like
streak. He has his old accuracy in
making those rip snorting knockdowns
and lightning throws. He can go far
and fast--and he Is getting his eye on
the apple" too. But he is not quite
ready. He wants to reduce about four
or five pounds more.
The outfield contains two veterans
Ross Young and Emil Meusel. Young Is
going slowly. He never hits very hard
In the spring But he is moving faster
IN the field than he did at this time in
1921. He has not been handicapped by
the ills which beset him in 1921 and
Iceland will be ready right soon.
Meusei is hitting and he is fielding
right up to the mark. Irish did a lot
Of ball playing in California during the
winter and he came here in shape. He
Is as hard as nails right now-ready for
the best season of his career. Billy
Cunningham. the center fielder who Is
having 1t out with Ralph SINNERS for
the Job left open by Burnss going to
the Reds, came here overweight and
still carries some excess baggage. But
his work is up to the mark. That
SINNERS has been getting the call over
bill does not mean that Cunningham
has been counted out. Far from 1t.
Casey Stengel. who IL away with the
seconds. was in fine shape at San An
tonic but got sick as soon as he went
on tho road. We expect to see him
around all summer in spite of the fact
that Ike Boone also will stick.
Johnny Rawlings, the infield utility,
hero of tho final game OF the world
series last fall. is about 20 per cent.
better than he was when he came 10
the Giants last summer. He Is fielding
well and hitting too.

Challenge matches for professional
balkiine billiard championships will be
revived tomorrow. when Jacob Schae-
challenger. will begin titular contest
at Orchestra Hall, Chicago. 1t will be
tho first match for balkiine trophy
since October. 1915. when, in compe-
tition al Boston. Kohl Yamada failed In
an effort to prevent Hoppe from acquir-
ing the 14:1 emblem as personal prop
erty. The next preceding match was
played March 19, 1918. at Pittsburgh
where Hoppe by defeating Ora Morning
star recovered the is Il title. which he
had lost March Is. 1912. at the Hotel
Astor to George 3. Sutton.
The match between Schaefer and
Hoppe win be one of 1900 points, 10 be
contested Monday. Tuesday and wcdnes-
day nights. 500 points each session.
1t will. however. be continuous. The
first and second nights play viii termi-
nate when either player will have
scored 500 and 1000 points. On the
second and third nights the player who
has finished the required quotas will
find the balls as he had left them the
night before and will continue an un-
finished inning. Under those conditions
one player may lead the first and sec
ond night and be beaten In the fnal
session. IT is not unlikely that one
player will gain promising lead on
either the frst or second night. The

CLEAN MATERIALS FOR ROAD
Builder Gets Perfect Concrete Aggre-
gates Along Route of Job by
ingenious Method.

Elimination Of the long haul with
the assurance at the same time that
sand and gravel used I'm concrete road
construction would be thoroughly clean
and free from organic impurities was
achieved in an ingenious and economic
manner on a section of the Denver
Morrison highway. Comparatively shall
low deposits of both required compo-
nents of the aggregate to be used In
mixing this concrete were discovered
in the bed OF a small stream which
flowed within a quarter of a mile Of

this natural deposit rather than incur
the expense and loss Of time incident
TO purchase OK preparation of the ag-
gregates IN town and consequent long

to wash and screen his aggregates as

Accordingly he obtained a SIKH CHI

in water, sand and pebbles as large as

The supply Of sand and stone in ne

means of hOrse-drawn slip scrapers.
screen composed of fiat bars was
placed across the top of the stump to
eliminate intake of oversize stones
which could not be handled by the

the water, sand and stone were dis
