 Fight to Regain Lost laurels

New York, Jan. LP-Willie Hoppe. 8 conspicuous figure in in ternational billiards for twentyfour years, tonight will begin his fight to recover the worlds 12.9 balkline tit won from him by Jake Schaefer of Chicago two years ago.
 In the path Of his attempted come back stands Eric Hagenlacher, cool. quiet. calculating German star. Hagenlacher. the man who unex- pectedly overthrow Sahaefer last spring. apparently has no fears Of losing his championship. In two previous matches he won victories over Hoppc. But metropolitan students of the game consider the veteran former titleho!der 10 be playing in such brilliant form that they have installed him a favorte to regain the honors he held for moro than decade.
 Hoppe, who for many years ruled supreme in every branch of the balkline game, enters the opening 500 points block of the l,500 point duel without a championship for the first time ill his career. He lost the last of his crowns-the lS.l diadem to Schaefer almost q year ago.

 Harcnlacher, who has not dafend- cd his championship since he do faatad Schacfrr. has yelled his form by secret practice. The former cham pion has been playing in this country only little more than five years, but each season he has made rapid strides, until today he is considered by critics one of tho greatest ex- ponents of the universe that ever held the title.
 The match. 10 be staged at the Hotel Pennsylvania. will be refereed by Albert G. Cutler. Play will start each night at o'clock. with the final block to be played on Friday.

New York, Jan. 5.--I have a letter from Gus Wilson, noted trainer. tell ing me the champion" has started light training again on the coast with view of winning back the heavyweight title, if possible.
 Jack Dempsey. you will note. is still the champion" to his trainer, just as he persists in being in the minds of a surprisingly big number of fight followers who have eagerly subscribed to the theory that there vas something phoney about Gene Tunney's victory.
 |. Wilson writes that 'the cham pion" has looked impressive in his preliminary gestures of training and that he is confident Dempsey is capa- hle of regaining enough of his old time formida bility to recover the title.
 Tt will be different when he fights again." writes Wilson. There will be no Jack Kearns to drive him 10 mental torment. there will be no po- litical intrigues by boxing commits sons to keep the match in a state of uncertainty, and there will be no other things
 Wilson does not take the time to explain what he means by other things, but the inference Is he has no objection to my assuming that Captain Charles Mabbutt's story about the poisoned cream was not Made up entirely by the comical clements of hooey.
 Wilson's letter makes reference to bet of s2O which he lost to me on the outcome of the fight. While pick ing Dempsey to win l was convinced he would not be able to knock out Tunney. Over an exquisite ensemble Of corn beef and cabbage served in Marty Burke's safe at Atlantic City Wilson laid me twenty at evens the fight would not go the limit.
 Commenting on the bet Wilson writes.
 "Ive lost a lot of bets in my time, and l probably shall lose many more before l take the final count. But l never expect to lose another bet on a man who was whipped be- fore he stlrted-an1 not because he wasn't in his normal condition, amply good enough to win"
 The insinuation here is obvious. Wilson has taken up the camp cry that the champion" was given the works before he entered the ring. have much respect for Wilson. He is star man in corner. Even his Ions association with European heayyweights has not distorted his sense of fstic values.
 Yet I wouldn't put it beyond Will son, or anyone elsn connected with the champion's' camp, to attempt to capitalize the widespread feeling Of skepticism that followed Tunney's unexpected victorv-and which fol- lows every unexpected victory in any line Of sport
 If the champion" is coming hack to fight. and apparently that is his present intention, the less legitimate his first defeat can be made 10 ap- pear. the greater will be the public interest in his return. This is all a part of the intricate ballyhoo. Other great stars have used it, Why not the champion?"

GETS NEVADA RELICS

A dress which was shared by
two women on their pioneer jour
ney across the plans, an 1914
dictionary, an 1855 copy of the
New Testament. and other relics
said to be nearly a hundred
years old are among the recent
contributions to the Nevada His

on their trip to Panaca. The
dress was originally brought from
England to Utah and then to
Panaca.
The dictionary which was pub
lished in New York bears the
title "A Critical Pronouncing
Dictionary and Expositor Of the
English Language" The copy
of the New Testament was pub
lished by the American Bible So
ciety in New York in 1865.
Among the other relics were a
bed which had crossed ropes for
stats and straw ticks for a mat
tress, a number of dishes, some
Of with are more than a hundred
years old and were brought to
the Panaca settlement in 1868, a
red pioneer bonnet, fancy shawls
showing perftct workmanship, a
piece of flax which was raised
and spun about 1925, pillows,
doilies, family pictures, and a
number of old textbooks.
The material from Panaca was
collected by Mrs. R. Edwards
and Mrs. E. Butler, who were
appointed by Miss Jeanne E.
Wier, director of the Nevada
Historical Society to collect his
tOrical relics there.
The Panaca settlement was

DEFEAT IN SENATE
KILLS HOPES FOR
PASSAGE OF MEASURE
Heroic Fight bV Supporters
of Bill UnaVaiIing Before
Arizona Filibuster

By the vote of SO to 80 the
petition invoking the cloture In
behalf of the Swing-Johnson
Boulder Dam Bill was defeated
in the Senate at one o'clock to-
day.
Instead of receiving a major
ity, the measure received far
less support than was anticipa-
ted, only 80 senators voting in
favor Of the bill with So against.
This action of the Senate Is
believed to sound the death knell
to the hopes of passing the meas
ure this session.
In the new Congress which
will convene next December the
Boulder Dam bill because of the
great strength it has gained in
the present fight will pass
through the committees promptly
and be brought to a victorious
passage, the session being long
enough so that any attempt to
filibuster will be futile.
