HOPPE REMOVES DOUBT
BY LEADING SUZUKI

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Some of the
clouds OF doubt which have hung
over the 1925 international 1872 balk
line billiard championship tourna-
ment had been swept away today
as a result of Willie Hopes sem
sationaI defeat of Yamekichi Su-
zuki. Japanese invader and dark
horse of the tournament, in the
opening match last night. Coming
from behind, after the ninth inning,
Hoppe fought his way to a 400-to-
316 win. closing out his game with
an unfinished run of 121. Before
this. with Hoppe tagging by 1853, it
had appeared predictions that the
Japanese might carry away the
laurels would come true. Hoppe
averaged 26 1915. Suzuki's high
run was 70 and his average 81 1-15.
Today's pairings match Welker
Cochrane against Erich Hagenlach.
er this afternoon, and Jake Schaef-
fer and Edouard Horemans tonight.
Before last nights match 1t wa1
announced Hoppe had accepted Bob
Cannefax's challenge to return

would be played here next month.
at 500 points. Hoppe won from
Cannefax at New York last week.

experience has been almost alto
gether with a minor league.
There are other examples, but
Gehrig's suffices to carry out the
truth of Bob Quinn's statement to
those college boys up in Boston.
It is well that Quinn had the
courage to say what he did say.
He may have saved some good
lawyer or doctor or teacher in the
making, some youngster who
otherwise might have frittered
away ten best years of his life
playing in the minor leagues.
It's Different There.
VIZ ITH the non-college player,
w it's slightly different mat
ter. In the first place, he
is usually younger than the col
lege man by q few years. Also,
he has been fed up on the glamor
going with varsity athletics.
Fred Marbury is an excellent
example of the non-college player
entering baseball and rising rapid
ly. He was with a high school
team down in Texas, played third
base most of the time. He didn't
think he was much Of q pitcher
when he got his chance to join
the Little Rock club in the South
ern Association, but Joe Engel,
Washington scout was impressed
by his size, speed and control and
tipped off Clark Griffith. The
Old Fox took a trip down into
the sticks for peek at Marberry
and bought him. The kid was
green and with but a single years
experience when he came to Wash
ington. Last year was his first
complete season in the majors.
He was an immediate success and
has a long baseball life ahead Of
him. -...
The non-collegian is an honest,
Woodworking player who generally
enters professional baseball humbly
by way Of the minors. He learns his
game in the hardest Of schools
and, graduating in the normal
fashion, is accustomed to baseball
and it's ways by the time he
reaches the top. Ossie Bluege Of
the champion Griffmen, is an ex-
ample of such a player. He went
into baseball fresh from high
school, spending three years in
the minors before getting his big
league opportunity.
However, where Lou Gehrig
might have become lawyer or a
doctor or a teacher, it is hardly
likely that Marberry or Bluege
would have trodden that path, had
they not gone into baseball. 1t is
the college players who fits
Quinn's example.

CHICAGO, Feb. ,24.-Dickie Kerr.
diminutive left.handed pitcher who
rose to heights OF baseball fame
during the world series of 1919, Is
seeking reinstatement in organized
baseball, and indications are that he
will soon be wearing a White Sox
uniform again
Stories credited to Kerr have been
published stating that he never
had been paid more than $500 a
year and that ComiSkey had refused
to discuss an increase in pay.
Comiskey wrote Kerr, who denies
giving any such interview.
The records show that Kerr was
under contract for $4,000. not in.

Don't sign contract with a
professional baseball club" said
Quinn, especially with a major
league club, unless you are pre-
pared to do lot of hard work in
the minors if you are sent there,
which is very likely, and you are
not ready to accept big disap-
pointments.".
Considering the many college
baseball teams, few collegians
enter professional baseball. In
deed, take three usually strong
varsity teams, Holy Cross, George
town and Princeton, not many of
their players from year to year
enter the professional game.
Surely, one may name some, but
the percentage is small.
A college baseball player is Q
college hero. He receives a flat
tering offer to sign a major
league contract. He makes hur-
ried exit from his studies and
joins his club at training camp,
dreaming of landing a regular
berth right off the reel. His
first disappointment comes soon
in his release to minor league
club. He knows then that he has
much to learn before making the
grade.
His second disappointment comes
when offered a new contract at
the end Of his first minor league
season. He will find salaries far
different in the bushes from those
paid in the big show. Some for
mer college stars quit then and
there. Others continue on and on,
however, disgruntled at ever hav-
ing listened to that first tempting
offer when they were college mar
wells.

Gehrig An Example.

r on GEHRIG, now with the
New York Yankees is an
example of the college hero
in professional baseball.
At Columbia University Geh-
rig was pitcher and first
baseman with a batting aver
age up around 900. He won
many a game for dear old alma
mater and received columns Of
publicity in the metropolitan
papers. What more natural than
that he should be given an offer
by a major hague club? And
what more natural than that the
Yankees, always throwing good
money away, should sign him?
The Yankees didn't want Gehrig
as a pitcher. He was supposed to
be a clouting first sacker and
that's where he was played dur
ing his first trial. But Wally
Pipp refused to play dead just to
let Gehrig land a job with the
Yankees. So Gehrig was sent to
Hartford in the Eastern Associa-
ton, minor league circuit in
New England.
Gehrig slaughtered the pitching
in that league, SO naturally was
recalled, but even then Pipp re-
fused to quit. Back to the East
ern Association went Gehrig to
knock down the fences again.
There is a rule, however, that
calls for such player to be sent
back not more than twice. A third
trip means the loss of that player
to the owning club. So Gehrig,
still supposed to be booked for
Pipp's job some day, is with the
Yankees, though his professional
