ASSUMES
LEAD AGAINST
SCHAEFER
Champion Clicks off Two High
Runs Of 1872 and
172.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Jake Schaef-
er, challenger for the worlds 1S.3
billiard championship must score
761 points to Willie Hopes 500
tonight to regain the title, now
held by Hoppe.
Hoppe overcome Schaefer's lead
of 131 points made in the opening
block and in a fine run of 1872 in
the thirteenth inning of last nights
play, took the lead from the Cali
fornian. The champion licked off
631 points while Schaefer was net
ting 239. The match now stands:
Hoppe. 1000; Schaefer, 739.
Neither champion nor challenger
were in their best form and the
violent reversal of front displayed
by the weather, which switched
from below zero to hints of spring,
was credited with making the balls
bumpy and averse to English, Both
players complained. to the referee
and new balls were substituted IN
the fifth inning.
Though neither player displayed
startling billiards, Hoppe seemed
to have better control. with runs
of SO and 172 in addition to his
mark of 1872.
A portly spectator. watching the
match with heavy interest, crashed
to the floor when his chair col
lapsed at the fifty.fourth point of
Schaefer's high run of 20. This
young challenger was visibly af.
fected by the clatter and seemed
slightly shaken when he resumed
play.

Of three victories in as many starts

Maryland University's basketball
five, at College Park, this evening.
The game will mark the second ap-
pearance of the Old Line outfit

It is hardly likely that Coach
Hughes will make any shift in the
lineup he has been using to date.
Riddle and Boatwright will be at
forwards, Pucci at center, and
Bradley and Davis at guards. 4,
Faber, Ensor and Troxell will be
Maryland's forward selections, while
Supplee is alsomt sure to start at
the pivot position. Beatty and
Groves will most likely be seen at
guards.
Maryland in their only contest OF
the year-that against George Wash.
ington, in which, they we're re-
turned winner-did not look any
too good. The Old Liners showed
a lack of team work which may
have been smoothed out during the
past week.

The Washington times., 1924-01-23

This is supposed to be the Ma
tional Leagues answer to the re
port from Detroit that Maranville
would be waived out of the Heyd-
Ter circuit, claimed by the Tigers,
placed on second base, help the
club win it's first pennaut since
1909 and live ever happily there
after. 1t is a commendable am
bilious plan, but several National
League clubs are, not in accord
with 1t. d
For one thing, it is reported that
the success of the Braves-Cardinal
deal rests on the ability of the
Boston club to turn Maranville
over to St. Louis. Failing in this,
it is altogether likely that the Car
dinals themselves would claim the
player in the event Of waivers
being asked.
But even if the Rabbit did es-
cape from the National League,
which is highly improbable, the
New York Yankees would not
see him go to Detroit without a
counter effort to land the young
man. The Yanks apparently
realize that with MaranViIIe OH
second base the Tigers would
form one of the most dangerous
combinations in baseball and are
prepared to act accordingly.
IF Maranville gets out of the Ma
tional League we will put in a claim
for. him." Edward G. Barrow, the
Yanks' business manager, declared
: today. This would mean that
waivers would be withdrawn and
the bidding opened. We would bid
pretty high for a man of Maran-
ville's ability. -
In the event we landed the Rab-
bit, he would be used as our regular
second baseman and Ward moved
over to shortstop, replacing Scout.
However, this is merely speculation.
I regard it as being very unlikely
that Maranville ever will get as far
as the American League, at least not
for several seasons. ~
Two things, are regarded as GER
tainties, however. One of them is
that Maranville will not remain in
Pittsburgh, the other that he will
not come to the Giants. Barney
Dreyfus will countenance no deal for
the Rabbit without a strict under
standing that he is not to be passed
on to John McGraw.

The Old English sheep dog had
a short vogue in this country, but
that seems to have passed. It was
found difficult toe keep this dogs
long coat clean, which may ex-
plain it's passing from the bench
shows.
The Airedale had a. long period
of popularity, but the breed seems
to have got away from the shows.
There are thousands of Airedales
in the United States, but they are
being used as watchdogs and hunt

hibitions

came with a rush a few years ago
