MAJORS INHERIT
TWOFASTEST
MINORS

The major leagues now have two
of tn. fastest men In the minors
last year. Maurice Archdeacon, OF
Rochester, Is with the Chicago
White SOx and the New York
Yankees have Earl Combs from
Louisville. Archdeacon cost about
$4,000. while the Yanks paid $780,
900 for Combs. '..--
Around the bases in 1925 seconds
is the record of Archdeacon which
puts him ahead of all speedsters
past and present. Combs was re-
ported as the fastest man in the
American Association last year, al
though he was more famous as a
hitter. He won several running
races with other stars Of the circuit.
On the last day of the season al
Louisville, Combs outdistanced the
pick of the st. Paul team, includ
ing Bruno Haas, formerly of the
Athletics. There are still three
speedy players left in the minors
Clarence Pitt, of Baltimore; Frank
Gilhooley, Of Toronto, and Billy Zit.
man, of Newark, but none is as fast
as Combs and Archdeacon.
Archdeacon looks like another Wild
Matthews. He is as fast as Zev
and his 300 average includes a LOT
Of hunts. Fans will watch him
with interest to see If he is a flower
that blooms only in the spring.
Combs has the better record. He
is sturdy and a real hitter and
many figure the Yankees made the
better deal when they passed ur
Archdeacon for the Louisville Slug.

JAPANESE CUE WIZARDS
WILL PLAY IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. II. Tadao
Suganuma, the national junior 1872
balkline billiard champion, will de-
fend his title against Kintey Matsu-
yama Of Japan in a Hotpoint
match at the Hoppe Billiard AGA
denny on the nights Of Jan. 20, 20
and 80. This announcement was
made yesterday by Thomas A.
Dwyer, an official Of the Bruins
wick Bake Collender Company, spon.
sor for the tournament and the
challenge matches.
AS champion, Suganuma had the
right to select the city in which
the match was to be played, and
the place for the holding Of the
match went to the highest bidder.
This will be the first championship
match ever held in the Hoppe Bill
lard Academy.
Matsuyama challenged imme.
diately after Suganuma successfully
defended his title against Jean
Bruno Of Austria, but Suganuma
waited until yesterday to cover the
challenge money and the forfeit
which totals 5000, and this money
now will go as side bet. It was
learned that Philadelphia and Pitts.
burgh billiard men were after the
match, but that Suganuma held out
until the last in favor of New
York.
Under the Junior championship
rules, the champion must defend
his title every thirty days. The
Bruno match was played the latter
part Of December. The winner of
the Suganuma- Matsuyama match
will be called upon to defend the
title before the end of February.

direct and definite information as
to just how valuable that title is.
The sad news is about to- be dis

process of preparation and will 90
into the mail as soon as Corporal
Barrow returns from Atlantic City
where he is now sojourning.
AS matter of fact not much
difficulty is anticipated in lining
up the boys this year. ColonGl
Rupert appreciates the world title,
and expects to show his apprecia.

there is the possibility of another
world series cut to look forward
to. Ball players as a rule are not
given over to much quibbling where
there looms the chance of world
series cut in addition to their reg
ular salaries.
There is one problem. however.
that's bothering the Yank manage

the proper training for the young

and he's anxious to farm them out
to minor league clubs next season.
And there's the rub.
Other clubs refuse to waive on
them, and you can't farm 'em out
until you get waivers. Consequent

can't use 'em. On the other hand,

Nearly every National League
club has managed to get possess
sion of one or more young pitchers
who give every indication Of max
ing the grade" he said. II think
the National League will have itS
best pitching year since the war,
what with gradual improvement
noted among the veterans and the
addition of hustliug young blood
lust what was behind the let
down and the great scarcity OF
curve ball pitchers cannot
fathom. Perhaps che war had as
much to do with it as anything
else. It hurt all athletics for
several years. Now we are begin
ming to reap the. benefits. The
war brought sports to the attention
Of many youths who had little
interest in the competitive side of
athletics before enlistment. Some
Of these men are our ball players
of the very near future"
Speaking of the young pitchers
now in transit to the big time,
HeydIer commented favOrably
upon Wayland Dean, right
handler for whom the Giants are
said to have paid $4,000 TO the
Louisville COlOnels. Dean was
enc of the men Hcydler had in
mind when he predicted a season
Of improved pitching.
Jake May, Of the Vernon Club of
the Pacific Coast League, was an
other. He has been taken over by
the Cincinnati Reds for $4,000 and
two ball players and is supposed to
have been ripe for plucking no less
than two years ago. At that time
the Yankees dashed themselves into
Q lather over May but to no pur-
pose. Tom Sheehan, Of st. Paul,
also impressed Heydler as a fine
prospect for the Reds.
"The best thing about May and
Sheelan is that they do not lack
for major league experience" Heyd-
Ter added. MAY was with the
Cardinals for several years and
Sheehan with the Athletics and
Yankees. They may be the pioneers
Of q new era.
Hitting is only phase. I be-
lieve. When I was a youngster,
every boy wanted to be pitcher.
Then along came Ruth and Hornsby
and everyone turned to hitting. A
pitcher with a good curve and
change of pace is a rarity at this
moment but I think the turn In
the lane is lust ahead"

Anyway, the plan, continued
looks like this: The two clubs will
have separate meetings-there is nc
sentiment IN business-but the boys
and girls will help each other in
regard to. financial and athletic
matters.
The girls begin their first basket
ball practice Monday night, with
Cecile Martin, Of Syracuse Univer'
sity, as their coach.
So, flappers of Petworth, or any
other part Of town, you are invited
to meet your sisters at 718 Taylor
street northwest next Tuesday
night, in order to perfect an organ:-
zation that will either ring the
Liberty bell or give it an awful
crack.
At the beginning Of the meetine
Pop took the floor, and talked
so sincerely and frankly that the
next meeting will be either "much-
girls" or "girls-niI."
ITO begin with, the Liberty boys
have an absolutely clean record.
That's what I'm for-and I see to
it-too. If the formation Of the
Liberty Girls Club takes place-yor
girls will be kept under just as strict
rulings. No smoking, drinking, or
using profanity. We will never have
any games, parties, or gatherings
to which you will not be proud to
invite your parents.
Most girls need more exercise
than they get nowadays, so I be-
lieve that many will be benefited by
the formation of such a club as is
suggested"
