Conti Hopes To Show
 Some Real Billiard
 Skill Tn United States
(By Associated Press)


 PARIS, Feb. 9.-"I never seemed to be able to get going right in the United States" said Roger Cont, af- ter winning the 1S.2 billiard cham pionship of 69.44 for 2,5OO points and an unfinished run of ATT, two world s records for tournament play
 Conti's performances in America were: Chicago, 1921, finished fourth with average 2S.6O; New York, 1922, third with 3006; New York, 1923, last with 1850.
 The young French player was some what chagrined because of the pessi- mism with which his performances here have been greeted in America. q have a good many years Of bill lizards ahead of me- said the 23-year- old French champion phIiosorhically Perhaps l may yet be able -o show the Americans that I can play bill lizards.

EXCITEMENT CHARGED
 AGAINST CLERICALS. IN
 OLD HAPSBURC STATES
(By Associated press)

l (By ASSOclaCeu IreSS)
 BRATISLAVA, Feb. S.-The con- flict between church and state, which has become keener in some of the succession states of the former Aus tro-Hungarian empire, is now reach ing it's eliminating point in Slovakia. The dissolution of the old regime, which was fundamentally Roman Ca tholic, saw the rise of many parties that were either obedient supporters to the church or directly opposed to ecclesiastical influence in state poli- tics. Consequently that section of the community that believed in the church factor, reorganized themselves more compactly into clerical par ty, and it is in the less cultured pro- vinces of the Czechoslovak Republic (Slovakia and Subcarpathian Russia) that the clerical party has the great est influence and commands major ity of votes.
 Thus it is that an exaggerated rad realism which in the first years after the overthrow prevailed, has been thrust upon these people and vehe- ment exhortations to put citizenship before church interests has generally resulted in great commotiOn and has brought the opposing factions of so- cialists and clericals to sharp en- counter.
 Recently the clerics, headed by the Slovakian bishops, issued a pastoral letter or manifesto forbidding their members on pain of communication to take part either actively or by membership in hostile organizations, such as trade unions and socialists societies, making exceptions only in cases where a livelihood is concern ed. This letter of the bishops was read from the pulpits and as it is regarded as an indictment to sedi- tion, action is being taken by some public prosecutors against the priests.
 Whether this manifesto amounts to an indictment and whether the auth ors, the bishops, or their subordi- mates, the priests, are the proper per sons to prosecute is still to be de termined by cabinet council.

GARMENTS WORN l4O
 YEARS AGO BY SIR
 WALTER SCOTT SHOWN

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb 9.-A hand tailored broadcloth coat and vest
 worn 40 years ago by Sir Walter Scott, almost identical in line with htose worn today on formal occa- sions, was exhibited in tailor's show here recently.
 A daughter of Sir Walter gave the
 coat to an English friend of his and it came down from generation to gen. eration. Every stitch in the garment was done by hand. The broad lap
 els are properly notched, and cut square in front.
 Clam-hammer tails reached to the bend in the knee The waistcoat was of brocaded purple silk with small round, colorful buttons.

ERNIE NEVER MAKES
 WESTERN ATHLETES
 FEAR FOR LAURELS
(By Associated Pressl

PALO ALTO, Cal, Feb. 9.-Ernie Meyers, the 2OO-pound blond athlete |of Stanford University, is pressing for honors the best all-around ath- letes in the annals of the west. Meyers is star fullback on the football team, one of Stanford's best
 baseball pitchers, plays a rattling good game at forward on the basket ball team and can throw the javelin.
 He has given little attention to track
 because of his baseball activity.
 In 1923, Meyers first year of var sity football, his team lost the big game with California, but not until after he had ripped the line to pieces repeatedly and won a place on Wal
 ter Camps third all-American team. Meyers got even in the spring when his twirling helped to win the cru
 cial ball series against California. In the fall of 1924 Meyers had hard luck. He was hurt badly before the lIISl SCHcuuleu SdlIeS ana was Kept
 on the sidelines most of the season.
 But he got into the post-season game
 with Notre Dame at Pasadena, and, though his ankles were weak, play
 ed until the final gun. He and Lay den, one of the Four Horsemen, were proclaimed the heroes of the day. While the Rockne Ramblers won, Meyers came near halting them sin 1 gle-handed
 After the Pasadena game Meyers
 was elected captain of the 1925 team.
 His admirers expect his last year to
 be his best. Incidentally, Meyers
 stands high as a student
 Nevers' record is reminiscent of

EXPLORER ExPLoDEs BUNK

Stefansson, the explorer, declares that the many stories we have read of hungry Russian wolves travelling in packs seeking whom they might devour are all bunk. He says the largest pack of wolves he has ever seen in all his extensive explorations was mother wolf and six young He causes many an exciting tale to fall flat in the light of this information.
