SCHAEFER BEATS WILLIE HOPPE IN THE FIRST BLOCK

NEW YORK, March 12.-Jak 3 Schaefer tonight defeated Willie Hoppe. champion, 500 points to PIT in the first block of their 1,500 point match for the worlds balk line billiard title.
 Hoppe won the bank, chose the white ball and ran 25, missing on a difficult one-rail draw.
 Schaefer drew the ivories to the lower end of the table, delicately nursing them there for a 66 count. After making two remarkable shots together on the sixtieth and sixty sixth counts. the first two-cushion draw and the other two- cushion bank, he missed an easy draw shot.
 Hoppe counted 30 times in his second inning, missing a left-handed, two-cushion shot Shaefer's second turn at the table netted him an even 100 points. Hoppe made one billiard in his third inning and missed a two-cushion shot on his first try, then Hoppe missed a two- rail bank. Schoefer made four in his fourth inning.
 The challenger, in fine fettle, took the lead on a 66 count in the first inning. and with two runs, one of 100 in the second and one of 139 in the fifth inning enjoyed han dicap the champion could not over come. Hoppe was cratic and never was able to get the feel of the table. He made many brilliant shots but his inaccurate driving kept him in trouble. Schaefers mastery of direction and speed made his runs appear easy. He was left spread for nations several times but after cunning driving managed to gather.

Random liked the style of battling displayed by little Joe Cook. New Orleans bantamweight, in his bout with Jimmy Proto at the B. A. c. wasted movement in his attack or defense, and Cook showed the ear marks of real battler In his TO- round bout with Proto. one of the most gruelling battles of the season. What delighted the fans more than anything else was the decidedly mat ter of fact, easy-going manner in which Cook would raise his elbows and drink in perfect bombardment of blows from Proto. Meanwhile. he would be finding time to steam through right and left-handers him self.
 Cook fought a nice fight Monday night, but he impressed fandom as being able to fight much better one if he cared to exert himself. It must not be thought that the Crescent City lad stalled bit, because, on the contrary. he was most willing mixer. However. if he had forced the fighting throughout as he did during the eighth and ninth rounds, the bout might not have gone the limit
 
 through on his agreement to
 meet Tom Lacey in mixed
 wrestler vs. boxer bout Monday night. In announcing MsGinty's
 withdrawal. Roy Cohen stated
 that John demanded m exorbf- ant compensation for his end of the affair, just "seven times more than the amount he agreed to go on for" If McGinty did stall the Inst minute for the.reason stated, B. A. (. officials would he conn mended for refusing to bill him again. McGinty's agreement with the club was not made known to the public. but 1t was stated that the agreement yyas broken.
 However. Big Boy Edwards brave ly stepped into the breach and took on Tom Lacey. And Tom Lacey took Edwards down, pinning his shoulders flat in two quick falls. Edwards never really had a chance. for Lacey would charge in. secure body hold and stay in close before Big Boy could start his windmill fistic at tack to working.

HOW MUCH Is YOUR MONEY WORTH

Toward the end of the Civil War, when
Confederate paper money was more paper than
money, a Southern officer stopped a farmer on
the road and offered TO buy his horse.
"Ill give you $1,000 for him-what do you
say7' asked the officer.
"You go to blazes!" was the farmers reply,
81 just paid $4,000 to have him shod."
Even today, some people claim that a dollar
won't go much more than half as far as it !
used to.
But others-the real wise ones-know that
a dollar will go just as far as ever-if they give
it the right startl
They're the people who watch the oppor-
tunity market in the Abe Classified columns
every day-their money is worth one hundred
cents on the dollar because they spend it where
it brings the biggest returns.

CHRIST-HIS DAY.

Christmas, 1928! What does it
signify? A day of feasting, rest
and pleasure to some. A time OF
idleness and jollifcation to others.
But to those who think it signifies
the flight of time-nineteen hun
dred and twenty-three years since
the birth Of the Perfect Man.
What will we do on Christmas
day? Some will find their favorite
newspaper and an easy chair too
enticing to leave. Others will
glide swiftly over smooth country
roads in one of their accustomed
JOY rides, weather permitting.
Numerous forms of diversion will
be resorted to in order to pass away
the time. There will be family re-
newing OF acquaintances, and dis
cusslons on the topics of the day.
And some-we hope many-will
wend their way to their respective
places of worship and reverently
listen to the minister tell the story
of the Perfect Man, the Man of
Men.
The world has produced many
men of greatness who enjoy en-
viable space in history. 1t has
produced but one man whose per-
sonality and whose deeds elevate
him above all men of all ages, of
all races and OF all time, whose
praises have been sung since the
Star of Bethlehem beckoned the
wise men of the east. That man
was Christ, and Christmas is HIS
day. Don't make it yours.
The Dolores star., 1923-12-21

people were on par in the matter
of wealth.
But when John Smith has SIo.-
600 worth of property and Sam
Jones has 81 1000, 900 worth, ii
affords substantial relief to the
man of wealth and practically moth
ing to the poorer man, even on the
proposed sliding scale of reduction.
Then again. the Mellen scheme,
which is one advocated by big
business and men of swollen in
comes, would wipe out about fifty
per cent of the income tax. That
tax is paid principally by men of
large incomes, who do not need
the relief that would be handed to
them.
Do not let big business delude
you into the belief that the Mellen
scheme of tax reduction is any
great relief to the man of $1,000
or under. Thus far Mr.. Mellen
has succeeded in defeating the
soldier bonus against the expressed
wish of a large majority of the
American people. Now he seeks
to hand a Melon to the rich and a
green persimmon to the poor in the
matter of tax reduction. A great
head, but one that has overshot the
mark.
