large crowds that gather at the Polo
Grounds and other places to witness
college games. and then remind you
that these conditions have come
about without the aid of confer
ence. they have a good argument on
their side of the discussion.
"HoWever, it should be remem
tcrcd by these advocates of the pres
ent system that wherever conference
foot ball has been played the con-
ditions have been bettered. the game
has become faster and the crowds
have increased twofold. In those
sections of the country where con-
ference foot ball is played the men
who have had experience under both
regimes are as one in saying that
they would never want to see the old
order of affairs come back. In view
of all this favorable testimony it
seems only reasonable to think that
the establishment Of an eastern con.
ference would be a help to foot ball
N this part of the country.
No Need for Supreme Head.
There is no need for supreme
head of American foot ball. think
that those who would like to see a
position created in foot ball similar
TO the one held by Judge Lands in
base ball and Augustus Thomas in
the theatrical world forget that.
after all, foot ball IS only a sport
and that as such it has no place for
a great captain of industry. The
creation of such Il position would. IN
my opinion. have the tendency to
make the game seem too much of
"a commercial proposition. something
that might in short while injure
intercollegiate sport. Where confer
ences have been formed the members

new system has a punch cannot be
overlooked. Several important games
have been decided by this play. the
Chicago and the Pennsyl-
van;a Pittsburgh games being among
the most prominent.
Perhaps it might be well to elm
mate this extra point entirely. But
i. such a thing is done some way

from remaining tie. On the whole

best.
LAS far as intersectional games are
concerned. l think that they are a

thing for each college team to have
one of these contests each season. 1t

HOPPE BEATS SCHAEFER

NEW YORK, November 22.-Willie
Hoppe is again the 1S.2 balkline bill
lard champion He regained the title
last night in the final match of the
international 1872 billiard champion
sniu. defeating Jake Schaefer, title
holder 500 to 2S3. He won last night
in the twelfth inning.
Hoppe came from behind at a criti-
cal stage of the contest. when Schae
fer led him by more than 100 points.
At the close he put together massive
runs of lsS and AN unfiished log
that marked his return as the reign
ing monarch of caroms.
Hopes winning average was
IL S-12. and his other high runs. Ill
and 40 Schaefer'S average was
% 7-12. with runs of 30. 6S and As.
on the whole Hoppe was somewhat
uncertain of stroke at times. but he
made up for this by his r"markable
ability to play cushion sho.s of in
finite variety. Hopes grand average
was 37.S7, while Schaefer takes sec
ond prize by his grand average of
1904.

THIS sentiment is by no means

L be gathered by the following

be gathered by the following
caustic comment typed by New
York writer. who refers to John
sons action as absurd and unprece-
dented" and asserts that the effect
OF the decision itself is ecllpsed by
the serious nature OF the situation
that may come to pass. as result
of it:
IF. in order to crafty the wish of
player, league head is 10 waive the
,uden,ent of a scorer and grant base

of his prominence i'll the game 70 ne

cial generosity? If decisions by -ciai

uuence in the matter of appeal. and nat
urai hitters will be displaced by their
less skillful but more 1oquaciouS col
leagues.
TO justify his action in awrding a
base hit to Cobb. Johnson puts forth
the argument that eleven neWSI'dpe.
men reporting the game We're OF the
opinion that the ball on which the
controversy hinged should have been
called hit. in contravention to the
Judgment of the official scorer, who
ruled that Cobb had reached first
base on an error by Everett Scott:
This is no argument at all. 1t would
be just as reasonable for johnson to
reverse a decision given by an UNI
pire because eleven fans. or 11.0OO
fans. for that matter. did not agree
with the umpire. The official scorer
in this case happened to be a COM
petent judge of hits and erors. and.
as such, was duly appointed official
scorer for a part of the season in
New York. His decisions. and only his
decisions, should be accepted for the
records, regardless of what any other
newspaper men thought, or what
Cobb or johnson thought
If Johnson is to be permitted to call
plays from his office in Chicago, it
would be a good idea TO abolish official
scorers altogether. for their duties will
have been usurpcd by the president of
ths American League.
