BILLIARD EXPERTS
RESUME TITLE PLAY

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February II. $780, The 10
GUESTS competing in the national
three cushion billiards championship
picked up today where they left off
Wednesday, with the title apparently
resting between Otto Reiselt of Phila
delphia, the champion, and Augie
Kieckhefer of Chicago, former title
holder. Each has five victories and no
defeats.
Based on present standings and
tournament form of the participants,
it seemed probable that the champion
ship will be decided Monday night,
when Reiselt meets Kieckhefer.
Arthur Thurnblad of Chicago, how
ever, is close behind the leaders. With
five victories and one defeat. In the
event of triple tie, a round robin
will be played Tuesday.
Reiselt engages Tiff" Denton of
Kansas City in the outstanding match
today, with Kieckhefer playing Allan
Hall of st. Louis, who has dropped
three of his seven games. Kieckhefer
beat Denton in one Of the most sensa-
tional games of the tournament.
Besides his game with kieckhefer,
Reiselt has another former champion
on his schedule--Gus Copulos, who
has won four of his six games.
Today's schedule: Kenney VS.. Cam
panioni, Thurnblad VS.. Copulos. I<ieck-
hefar VS.. Hall, Reiselt VS.. Denton.

GOLF is GOOD FOR SWING
HITTER, COSLIN DECLARES
National Slugger Thinks Game Aids Clouter of His
Type But Is Bad for Choke Batter-Plavs
Well on Hot Springs Links.

By thc Associated Press
7 OF SPRINGS, Ark, February
Il 11.-Golf is great stuff for the
base ball hitter who takes Il
4 ( fun swing, but bad medicine
for the batter who chokes his
bludgeon, in the opinion of Goose Cos
lin, smuggling outfelder of the Ma
tionals.
The Goose qualified as a golfing
authority by his play here in the South
Control open tournament. in which he
has an amateur status. Teamed with
Joe Turnesa. professional, Goslin
shared second honors in the mixed
professional and amateur best-ball
matches Wednesday.
Yesterday, however. the slugger
must have been thinking In base ball
terms for an excuse to get out Of his
scheduled game, for he picked up his
ba after playing only a few holes and
returned to the clubhouse. Too cold, -
he said.
"Golf has helped me a whole lot. =
Goslin said in describing his activities
on the links. "It has taught me to
follow through. Before | played golf
knew nothing of following through
on my swing at the plate. | have
learned that it is essential on the
tees ana talrWaSS, ana thlnK IL mas
given me distance in my wallops on
the diamond"
Likes the Yardage.
The Goose admitted that the wood
clubs and the tee shots with their pos
sibilities of long distances interested
him most.
For the hitter who cOw-tails his
bat and takes a free swing. the game
of golf is a good thing" the fence
smashing athlete explained. But II
were manager l would not let a man
who chokes his bat play golf. II won't
do him any good. But you can't hurt

When Base Ball Was Young
BY JOHN B. FOSTER
Two Jumps" and a Referee

real attempt at accurate umpiring it
was abandoned because the spectators
killed II by their verbal disapproval.
When the double-umpire system was
inaugurated there were many of the
old guard to oppose it. because they
said it would kill baSe-running. 1t
may be something like heresy to say
that it has killed base-running, but If
1t hasn't, it has done it's full share to
kill it, because umpires stand right
over the bases In these days when the
runners try to steal. and they see
whether the fielder gets the runner or
misses him.
The records made in base.running
now are real tests of base-running.
How many of the old.time records
were due to the fact that a single
umpire was trying to- get decisions
right while standing behind home plate
is something with which the magma
ton may daily for time.

Once they tried to use a referee and
two umpires in base ball. The
younger generation would be a little
shy of any recollection of that period,
although their fathers might recall It,
especially those who had fathers and
grandfathers residing in Chicago or
81. Louis in 1885. The Browns and
the White Stockings played what they
called world series that year after
the regular season was over.
In the seconod game OF the series D

tempted. The game was governed by
TWO umpireG and q referee. The two
umpires stood behind the batter In
the usual position--mind that; behind
rhe batter--and the referee took his
position behind the pitcher or as near
the bases as he expected to see the
coming play made.
The referee It was understood, was
TO decide nothing unless the two UNI
pires disagreed and an appeal was
made to him, whereupon his decision
was to be Anal. The umpire belong
ing to the club in the field was
charged with calling out judgment on
halls, strikes and base decisions, any
Of which could be appealed to the
referee by the other umpire, should
he deem 1t wrong.
Sounds like the chorus of a happy

Experiment Works Smoothly.
BY lot, Kelly of the American Asso-
citation .staff of umpires was named as
the referee. McQuade and Quest were
unpires for st. Louis and Chicago.
They walked TO the field and took
their positions and the crowd peered
at them with considerable curiosity.
They worked together smoothly, con
Idering that 1t was the first time the
experiment had been tried.
The officials and the players seemed

but the crowd didn't like 1t bit, in
spite of the fact that the decisions
were nearer being correct than they
had been under the old system.
Several times Kelly, acting as ref
cree, revoked the decisions or the UNI
pires. He was especially strong In
changing base decisions. and the play
era asserted after the game was over
that he had been right in every IN
vance that he had changed a declslon,
