FOREMAN SLAMS
WAY To WIN
AW "ER t--s-

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-Fight
fans are aware today Of a new
luminary mounting the fistic skies
In the person Of AL Foreman, Of
Washington, D. C. a former soldier
al Fort Myer, Va. What this Fore.
man did to Mike Ballerino. former
junior lightweight titleholder. dur.
ing their 10 rounds at the Arena
last night was a crying shame. To.
day Max Hoff, Foremap's manager,
is thinking Of entering his promis-
ing lad in the featherweight title
tourney scheduled for New York.
Foreman is a straight puncher
with both hands and he flattened
the Bayonnes italian with a solid right
to the jaw in the opening round. Only
Mikes great garneness kept him on
his feet as he swung and swayed
through the 10 rounds. Foreman
punished him badly but could not
quite put over the sleep wallop.
In the tenth Foreman threatened
to drop his man for the long count
but, except for knocking him dizzy,
the newcomer had to be content
with outpointing the former cham.
pion by several miles.

IN
CUE PLAY

Washington will be represented
in an innovation in pocket billiards.
The new wrinkle in this popular game
will be an American Amateur Tele-
graphic tournament Of which this
city will be a representative.
Manager William Wood, Of
the King Pin ParlOrs. received
word from Charles C. Peterson,
weu-knOwn expert, that he
should select the best player
Of this city for the tournament.
Play in the Amateur Telegraphic
Tournament calls for each city to
have a representative player. with
an alternate. Instead of visits from
one city to another. each epErant
plays at home and the results of
the match ire telegraphed.
Just who win represent this city
has not been decided upon by Man
ager Wood. 1t is believed, low
ever, that an elimination tourna-
ment will be necessary to decide
this.
Those cities which have slgnl.
fled their intention Of having
an entrant In the tournament
There being 24-are Los An.
geles, San Francisco, Oakland, !.
; Portland, Denver, Omaha, Des
mOines, st. Paul. Minneapolis,
st. Louis, Rockford, Milwaukee,
Chicago, Oklahoma City, De.
trOit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Roch-
ester, Boston. New York and
Washington.
In his letter Peterson further
adds that he is expecting entries
from indianapolis, Cincinnati. To.
ledo, Louisville, Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh. This would make a
total of 80 cities with representa-.
ton.
