CLIMB OF BILLIARDIST
 TO FAME

NEW YORK, Feb. "A lot of peo- pie, including the genial Willie Hoppe himself got quite a shock of surprise when Young Jack Schafer annexed the worlds 1S.2 balkline billiard championship by trimfing Willie in the recent title tourney at Chicago.
 Young Mister Schaefer has been contender for number of years and folks on the sidelines noticed that he was getting better all the while, but only the close followers of the cue game figured in advance of the recent tourney that Jake Jr., had an even chance of toppling the billiard crown from Hoppes brow. There was a reason for this. It was because. in many tourney, Young Jake showed an inclination to become temperament tai when the worries refused to roll for him. He always seemed to lack, and really does lack, the coolness of Hoppe and his habit of getting hot around the collar when he failed to get the "breaks' held him back quite a while.
 Within the last eight or ten months. however, Young Jake settled down He made up his mind that if he was ever going to emulate his great father the late "Wizard" Schaefer, he would have control of his temper. So he took his temperature in hand, prac- ticed for many hours a day over a stretch of months and went into training" for his big effort at. Chi the title
 During the last two years or so stu dents of billiards have recognized Young Schaefer as a player with the making of a great star and a future champion. His rise has been rapid. It has really been sensational, for as lately as 1919 none who saw him play would have ventured to predict that he would be the worlds champion to- day. This was because. as we have mentioned, his playing was indiffer- ent
 Schaefer started his real campaign for the title by abandoning "red ball" and devoting his time exclusively to balkline. He inherited great natural ability from his father and when he applied himself it began to crop out. Those who have watched him recently say there is scarcely a flaw to be found in his work on the green cloth. He does everything we'll. Perhaps his greatest asset is his ability to make draw shots, which,. as Willie Hoppe has often said, is the foundation upon which successful balkline play must be built.
 The precision he uses in making his shots. his fine judgement of speed, his stroking and his ability to nurse the worries stamp him as a real cham. pion. The knack of gathering the balls and holding them was the out standing fault of Schaefer's play in the last tourney held in New York He has overcome this fault and once he gets away to start on Hoppe in the recent Chicago tourney there was no stopping him.
 The confidence that comes with win, ming the title will be great asset to Schaefer. Tn fact, it will make a better player of him. If he takes the proper care of himself he may be champion for long while.

LIMIT ARMY BUT DON'T SCRAP
 NAVY, SAYS GREAT WAR HERO

NEW YORK, Feb. This is the story of the distinguished son of a man who raised his boy to be a sol dier
 Sergeant Samuel Woodfill, chosen by General Pershing as the greatest single hero of the World war, can say of his own soldier father that he learned about shooting from him . The rest-cleaning out three ma ' chine gun nests and killing nine- teen Germans-was just morning s work" in the words of the extremely modest hero, who wears two Congress sional Medals of Honor, as we'll as various other decorations.
 Sergeant Woodfall and his wife re- gently made their first visit to New York, the guests of Justice and Mrs. Philip J. McCook. They came up from Washington, where the First U. s. Hero represented the infantry at the burial of the unknown soldier.
 JUST EFFICIENT TRAINING
 Just the efficient training of the regular army" explains this remark able soldier, as he modestly attempts to shift the credit for his acts. Ser geant Woodfill is a six-foot Hoosier and may will be added to the list of talent that his come out of h. !, diana.
 '.I was twenty years with the reg ular army" he says. But he does not complain that mention of his splendid deeds of October, 1918 lay buried in army records for three years.
 Woodfill wears his laurels well. He is striking in appearance and some- what serious in manner. There is about him the steadfastness of the pioneer. During the war he was made a lieutenant and promoted to captaincy for heroism. Upon re- turning to this country he re-en- listed at Fort Thomas, Ky, as ser geant but it is hoped that he will be returned to the status of captain
 In the McCook household there was excitement among the three young sons of the family concerning the hero who was coming to visit their father Daniel, who has reached the dignity of twelve years was more re- : served than John Sheldon, who is eight, just as John did not give way :, to the emotions that racked Philip Philip possessed the jumpingest heart that ever beat under five year-old size sweater. He finally had to have his hat and coat put on so he could do sentinel duty outside the door of his dwelling till the great guest came. Sergeant Woodfill prob ably will never have more sin cere admirer.

TAXPAYERS BOOST OWN TAX

MORGANTWON, W. Va, Feb. 7.- The first man visited in Morgantown by the assessor, when he started out to revalue all the property in the city last week, voluntarily jumped his val uation from $19,000 to $47,000, or a boost of nearly 150 per cent. The next man increased his valuation from $47,000 to $98,000. Estimates of in- crease on all the city and county val nation place 1t not less than 100 per cent above former assessments.

GOOD AT "K, D." WORK

GOOO 'k. P.' WORK
 From the sergeant's vivacious young wife comes another type of testimonial Mrs. Woodfill says her husband does not disdain to help about the house or with the dishes. and is very good at "kitchen police"
 Mrs. Woodfill. Kentuckian, is a descendant of Daniel Boone. They have been married four years.
 Sergeant Woodfill was prevailed upon to discuss some of his experi- ences:
 q can remember in the Argonne how the Germans were sweeping the ground with hail of bullets. One of them opened up on me when I was within ten yards of him. I got him, The next was about thirty-five yards off. I had to crawl along on my toes and elbows and throw myself down flat every now and then. After I fired about ninety rounds of am- munition it gave out. My pistol damned.
 There was some American tools on the ground, a 'muttack' such as engineers use-its like a pick. I went after them with that-and that's all"
 That's all" says the greatest hero of the United States who is palpably man of action and not conversation. But he does say of the funeral at Arlington of the un- known warrior:
 "That moved me deeply-it made a trerendous impression
 WOULD LIMIT ARMY
 Would you like to see the army, as well as the nevy, scrapped?" he was asked
 Not altogether-I think we need a regular army of soldiers. For police, at least Soldiers should be interna- tional police.

 Sergeant Woodfill is the son of John Samuel Woodfill, a Mexican and Civil War veteran, and from earliest youth has been an expert shot. Some of his early days in "soldiering" were spent in Alaska and the Philippines. II was this familiarity with firearms that enabled this Hoosier to meet the Huns with equanimity.
 Besides the Congressional Medal Sergeant Woodfill wears a Croix de Guerre with palm, the Legion of Honor, and the Order of Prince Dan- ielo I. of Montenegro
 Because he had been commissioned from the ranks on his return home he had to resign, but rather than leave the service re re-enlisted as sergeant. His former comrades of the New York Camy of the Fifth Division have asked Secretary of War Weeks to reinstate him as a captain to prevent injustice to Am erican valor"
