SCHAEFER RUNS 400
IN 1872 TITLE EVENT

CHICAGO, February 27.-Jake Schae-
fer, former world 1872 balkline bill
lizards champion, has made himself
the favorite to take the crown from
Willie Hoppe, defending titilist, in
the international tournament. here, by
a display Of unprecedented form, be-
fore which records have crashed
Schaefer and Hoppe are tied for lead
ership in the standing.
Erich Hagenlacher, the German cue
artist, spent all of yesterday eve
ming sitting in a chair during his
match with Schaefer, while the for
mer champion broke all world billiard
records by running 400 from spot
In 20 minutes Schaefer set a record
for a high run, broke Welker Coch-
rams mark of 3S4 made in the 1921
tournament here and broke the aver
age record with 400 for one inning.
He used every kind of shot, fol-
lowing long spells of nursing with
difficult masses and hard three cush-
ion shots. His stroke never wavered
despite the intense excitement of the
spectators.
The exhibition dwarfed a brilliant
match in the afternoon, when Welker
Cochran defeated Kamakichi Suzuki,
the Japanese. 400 to 113, in four in
nings, with a high run of 30S.

HERZLS WILL BOWL
BALTIMORE Y. M. H. A.

Herzl Club bow1ers, champions of
the Hebrew League of Washington,
will compete with the Baltimore Y.
NJ. Fl. A. at the Maryland metropolis
tomorrow night in the first half of
what is likely to be the final inter-
city match of the season between
Baltimore and Washington tearhs.
The final half of the 10-game match,
total pins to count, is scheduled for
Saturday, March Z, on the Washing
ton drives
No further word has been received
from the Baltimore King Pins re
garding matches arranged with, the
urb Cafemen, leaders of the Dis
trict League, and the Capital City
Stars. The loss of several star mem
bers of their team caused the Bal
timore five to postpone indefinitely
the scheduled matches with the
Washington duckpinners, and in view
of the tournament being staged in
the near future by the two duckpin
associations of the Capital City, it is
probable that intercity competition
will be dropped entirely for the pres
ent season.
Interleague matches are hardly
possible at the present time, inasmuch
as the Curb Cafe is the only team
that seems sure to take the cham
pionship in an outstanding league.
In the National Capital League the
title appears to lie between the Bel
monts and the Joseph Phillips team,
and in the Masonic loop ST. Johns
and Stansbury are running neck and
neck.
A three-cornered interleague series
would be of interest, although the

OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS
FIND GOING is ROUGH
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 27.-Olynpic
track champions have had little bet
ter than an even break in the indoor
campaign so far.
Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ritola
who romped off with a total of six
Olympic races, have added to their
supremacy, but Ugo Frigerio, Italian,
who won the Olympic walking cham
pionship, has suffered a series of set
backs here, while Jackson Scholz
American sprinter and 200-meter
champion, has met defeat several
times since his return.
The other Olympic champions are
expected to show their speed and
stamina in American competition by
Spring. They are Albin Stenroos,
Finlands marathon victor, and Harold
Abrahams and Eric Liddell, the British
flyers, who captured the 100 and 400
meter races. If this trio appears
America will have seen all of the
Olympic running champions except
Douglas Lowe, who won the 500
meters for England.
Several members of the track team
which the Metropolitan A. A. L. is
sending to the national championships
in Louisville left last night and the
remainder will be on their way this
morning. Those in last nights party
were Carl Christensen, hurdler;
Herb Meyer, hurdler; Eddie Kirby and
Vincent Lally, distance run
ners; Basil Irwin, julius Reichert
and Joseph Misbach, steeplechase and
jumpers.
Willie Plant, American champion
walker, who has defeated Ugo Fri
gerio of Italy three times, will leave
today with possibly Paavo Nurmi and
Willie Ritola.
Willie RitOla, middle-distance run
ner star of the Finnish-American A.
c., will appear in Louisville Saturday
for the National a. A. L. track cham
pionships, if the national registration
committee votes to override the suS-
pension handed down by the New
England Association Wednesday
night. Ritola felt the wrath of the
Boston officials because he failed to
appear in meet there Monday.
The national registration commit
tee is taking telegraphic vote and
five replies have been received, all
favoring lifting of the suspension.
They come from New Orleans, De-
troit, Columbus and New York. The
New England representative voted in
favor of the suspension, but his re-
ply had not been received when the
offices closed last night. Ritola, ex-
pecting favorable action, has planned
to leave for Kentucky today.

Americans are sensationalists, and
Nurmi has supplied much material
that makes for sensation His pro-
gram has been skillfully handled, so
that with each new appearance he
still has opportunity to shave records
that are but few days old
Has Inspired Americans.
But this phase of his activities seems
less important to the writer than his
permanent contribution to the run
ming game; for one thing, the in
spiration he has given to American
distance runners, the lesson he has
taught them.
Prior TO the Olympic games Willie
Ritola was just an ordinary distance
runner, but, being a Finnish citizen,
he returned to his native land to pre-
pare to represent its flag at Paris.
A large part of his training was
done with Nurmi, the result being
that at the international games he
made a record almost as creditable as
that of his famous compatriot. Will
lie found his speed by running with
Nurmi
Now he is not only fast approach
ing a plane of equality with Nurmi,
but, the writer sincerely believes, is
working to point where he may
eclipse the flying Finn. For, in spite
of all that has been written and said
to the contrary, closest students of
track form believe Paavo's style is
rather a handicap than a help to his
running.
Nurmi's Form Handicap.
His high carriage, it is held. pro-
duces a noticeable catch in his mo-
tion which is quite similar, to that
catch in an eight-oared shell when a
crew RECEIVERS too rapidly. The other
day Ritola broke Nurmi's record of
14:44 3-5 for 5000 meters, doing
14:231-5
1t is altogether likely that in a
few years Nurmi will be remembered
only by the true fans who, like the
present generation of track fans, re-

Lou Talaber to retain his middle
