HOPPE SURE HE CAN /
REGAIN BILLIARD TITLE

BOSTON, March 14.-Willie Hoppe
today said he believed he could re-
capture the worlds championship
balk-line billiard crown from Jake
Schaefer.
After Hoppe was "a points ahead
of .Schaefer at the conclusion OF
their five-day Boston match, with
the final score being 1866 to 1852,
it was discovered that the cham
pionship did not change hands be-
cause the match was arranged out
side the schedule of the billiard
association.
Hoppe finished fourth in the In
ternational tournament and must
wait until the second and third
men in the tournament, Horemans
and Hagenlacher, have had their
chances before meeting Schaefer In
q championship tournament.

SCHOOLS
READY FOR
BASEBALL
Central and Eastern More
AdVanced-Tech and
Business Hurt
By ROSS L. CONKLN.

With the opening Of the high
school baseball season just exactly
three weeks away, all the high
school teams are entering into the
last stages Of preparation with
fairly good prospects. Western
and Technical will be the first two
teams to face each other, and they
will do their stuff in the Central
High School stadium April 4.
Two new faces will be seen in the
ranks OF the coaches. They are
Thomas at Business, and Prentiss
at Technical.
Mike Kelly and s. T. Kimble are
at the head OF Central's affairs on
the diamond, and Coaches Guyon
and Ahearn are at Eastern and
Western respectively.
There is no question but that at
this stage OF the season. Central
and Eastern are far ahead Of their
rivals in rounding into form. Both
these schools have stadia and all
that they could desire. Tech and
Business have to go a long way to
get In their practice, and Western
has field but that is about ALL
Guyon has. developed quite a re-
spectacle array Of reserve material,
and the Indian Is busily engaged
in turning out couple Of pitchers.
He will have what he terms a
team that will be able to cope with
the best Of them.
CentraIs pitching staff is good,
and there are quite a few of the
boys on the team who can classify
as sluggers. Pitching never counts
for much, because there is always
a gang Of merry hitters on all the
teams. The team with the best
sluggers gets farther in the schools
that the team with the better
pitchers.

suppose Jack Dempsey, holder
OF the heavyweight championship
of the world, merely laughs at
the commission, what can it do ?
Dempsey has no license to box
in New York State. Therefore,
he cannot be suspended.
What can the New York State
commission do if Dempsey prefers
to meet Tom Gibbons, say in
California or Pennsylvania or
Maryland? Answer, nothing.
Suppose Dempsey says, "Sure,
I'll take on Wills" and stops
there. Is the commission able TO
provide the pormoter willing to
risk his dollars? Answer, no.

will be matched, and not before,
commissions to the contrary not
withstanding.
Professional boxing is a busi-
ness, something the New York
State boxing commission refuses
to admit. If any promoter thinks
he can make money out of a
Wills-D Dempsey mix-up, the bout
will take place, and not other
wise.
The more the New York State
commission talks and issues Or
ders, the more foolish it looks.
1t Looks Very Good
."HE more one considers the
ring show carded by frankie
Mann for Washington Bar
racks next Wednesday night, the
better it looks. The puzzle is why
the barracks quit its regular
night, Monday, for Wednesday.
It's show stands up with that
over at the Auditorium.
Three ten-round bouts, featuring
Jack Turner, Eddie Bowen and AL
Foreman, should pack the out
door arena down at the Barracks.
1t would do that, even if the show
were held on Monday night.
The truth of the thing is that
the Barracks shows always pro-
vide action and hitters. Now and
then some highbrow gents don't
like the Drawing" type of show,
but that's their own lookout.
frankie Mann, who puts on the
Barracks shows, loves to mix the
hitters. Yes, and the gang of
blokes who support these shows
dote on them. They want action.
They don't like the clever stuff.
They prefer the hitters.
Mike McTigue, holder of the
world light heavyweight title,
which he won in Ireland on March
II from Battling Sikh, an African,
wants to come here and show his
wares to Washingtonians. Mike
is a bust as a champion. He
is a boxer who taps and. runs
away. frankie Mann asked this
writer about putting McTigue on
here and was advised not to do
so. McTigue has been impossible
wherever he has shown. He would
be booed from the ring in Wash
ington where frankie Mann has
educated the ring worms to ex-
pect real stuff for their jack.

The Washington times., 1925-03-14

The champions svened up their
standing at Sanford yesterday when
with a smashing ninth frame they
defeated the Milwaukee Brewers Of
the American Association, to 2.
On the short tour ending last night
the champions won two and lost
two games, the latter pair to the
New York Giants.
The big inning opened with the
score knotted, to 2. With one
down Bluege screamed a triple to
left, scoring on McNally's sharp
single. Mellilo's tumble gave Tate
a life and put McNauy on second
from where he easily scored on
Kelly's single to LETT.
The Griffmen hoped out in front
in the first inning with two runs.
Martina and BrilIneart kept the
Brewers away from the plate but
Kelly, the kid finger from Memphis,
had worse luck. The Brewers got
one run in the seventh and another
in the eighth, tying the score and
compelling the Griffs to get busy
in the ninth.
Manag Harris slightly
strained his back i'm the first
inning Of yesterdays game and
was supplanted by Spencer
Adams. The scrappy leader will
be in tOday's lineup, however.
The world champions are facing
another busy week. Monday they
play Columbus at Winter Haven
and the following day finds them
over at st. Petersburg battling the
Braves. Wednesday the Cincinnati
Reds will be here and on Thursday
the champions meet DOME Bush's
Indianapolis team at Plant City.
Friday is without scheduled ac-
ton, but on Saturday the cham
pions will be at Sarasota, meeting
the Giants in the third game of
their series.

ported to Bucky Harris today that
his squad, left here when the team
left for Palm Beach last Monday,

FRY DROWNING DAMAGE
CASE TO COME UP NEXT
TERM SUPERIOR COURT

In superior court, Prescott, the de-
murrer for defendant having been de-
MED in the $4,000 damage suit
brought against Flagstaff by Mr.. and
Mrs. James Fry, the case will come to
trial in superior court, Flagstaff, at
the next spring jury session.
Plaintiffs ask $4,000 as the result
of the drowning Of their little son in
Recreation park lake year ago last
fall.
Judge f. w. Perkins, city attorney,
feels confident that the city will not
be held liable. He is fortified in this
belief in the fact that since the suit
was brought, the state supreme court
in a damage suit against Phoenix
ruled for the defendant In this lat
ter case, a man injured in the city
garbage plant sought damages; but
the supreme court held that the city
was acting in governmental capac
ity and not in a proprietary capacity,
and therefore could not be held liable.

BRILLIANT DISPLAYS
GREET HOLIDAY SHOPPERS

Flagstaff has right to feel
proud of the holiday display win
dows of its merchants" said
prominent visitor from big city
during brief visit here this week.
II don't believe one could find a
city ten times the size of Flagstaff
to equal it in its brilliant display
of goods. The windows in general
were the work of artists; the colors
and lighting caught the eye and
appealed to buyers. That sort of
thing shows you have live mer-
chants-live merchants can't live
in dead town. These merchants
may think they are only advertis-
ing their goods, but when a stran-
ger sees streets of display windows
as | found here, he knows the men
behind such windows are behind
the town with the same progress
siVe spirit" declared the visitor.
With the crowded streets the
past week, we are inclined to be-
lieve that visitors have been at
tracted to Flagstaff this year in
larger numbers than ever before
for some reason.

YOUNG MAN FOUND BABY

Does it pay or not to act the part

one shivering young man in Flagstaff
who vehemently presents evidence
that proves the second rhetorical

But on a cold winters night the loss

jumped out, snatched the baby-and

which lunged into the night, and left
the poor chap puzzling.
Just as you are now doing, he is

how did the baby get there, why was
it there. The mother, if so she was,
