FOLEY, White SOx
ORGANIZER, IS DEAD
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November 4.-Tom Foley
who organized the original Chicago
White Stockings and was called the
father of base ball and billiards in the
West. died at his home here last night
at the age of "a. He had been ill for
some time.
Promoter of the first amateur bill
lard tournament in the country
Foley made significant contribution
to the game when he was a prominent
member of the committee which in
1882 formulated the balk-line form of
play. He was himself an expert cue
jst and held the Illinois championship
for two years.
In 1869 he organized the White
Stockings, piloted them in the first de-
feat for the original Cincinnati Red
Stockings and subsequently defeated
series.
After retiring from active play,
Foley became internationally known
as a promoter of billiard matches and
was credited with promoting the first
world championship at three-ball play.
He was an intimate of Jake
Schaefer the elder, and it was to pro-
vide opposition for Schaefer, who was
running away with everything on the
green tables, that Foley and others
met to devise q more difficult game,
1871 and 1872 balk-line billiards result
ing from their conference.
The veteran sportsman lived in Chi
cago virtually all his life, having
come here from Ireland at the age of
6. A widow survives.

Humbert wanted to stage a fight

found that RiCkard. through Jess

This means that Pete will have tO

until the cOntender'S contract with

Dundee owes a lot to Tex Rickard.
So Joe is doing the right thing In
