Albert q. Cutler, one Of the best
balk line billiard professionals in
the country, is now at the Arcadia
billiard parlors demonstrating free
to the public the many tricks Of
the game.
Cutler began to play the game
when he was is years old, and
continued 20 improve his style until
he was able to win the national
amateur championship in 1899.
After holding that title for
three years, he decided to 90
the way Of Suzanne, SO he re-
turned to his native Boston and
opened q pariOr Of his own.
That year he won the pro title
OF New England. In 1906 and
1907 he entered the open senior
national championship, which
was held at Madison Square
Garden, coming out third, and
then fourth.
Cutters greatest bid for the big
championship came in 1908. when
Jake Shaeffer's father defeated him
IN a 50O-point game by 81 points
Since that time he has refereed ali
the national championships. and has
consistently held the national junior
championship in the balk line game.
This is' not Mr.. Cutters first ap
pearance in Washington. For three
years he has been on Keith's cir
cult demonstrating his tricks, and
the billiard public of this city have
not forgotten him. Mr.. Cutler will
be at the Arcadia the remaining
days of this week from 2:SO until
9 p. M. and the public is invited
free to come up and watch this
wizard.

in February.
However, Dempsey's pre-.
stunned temperance under
cOlOrs will not take place later
than the first week in June,
since Richard is under contract
to Tunney to name the Iatter'S
challenger on June Is.
Richard expects to know what
1t is all about by that time
whether or not Dempsey's plan to
challenge for the title is a lot
Of soup meat; the real intentions
OF Jack Delaney about playing with
the other inmates and, If so,
whether he really Belongs in the
first place; and the respective
capabilities Of Sharkey. Maioney,
Paolino. Berlenbach and sundry
challengers alleged and otherwise.
Richard will know the worst about
Paolino when the Spaniard returns
from Cuba to meet Knute Hanson,
match that has been arranged with
the tacit hope that Knute doesn't
choose the nearest exit and run, not
walk. The Knute is supposed to be
a fistic squirrel; he can fight but
you have to catch HIM first.
Assuming that PaOlinO sur
wives this awful carnage, the
next step will be q match with
either MalOney or Sharkey in
February. MalOney generally is
understood to be favored for the
shot with Sharkey to be held
In reserve for a rally with the
winner In March.
This series will bring the situation
pretty well up to date, only De.
laney and Berlenbach being unac-
counted for. However, they will get
some action somewhere, provided
Delaney begins to play smart and
joins the line forming on the left.
He probably will be substituted in
the scheme Of things for Paolino If
the latter looks the part Of a tramp
against Hanson, which is not at all
unlikely. On the strength of his
record, Delaney cannot be ignored
by any man who wants to develop
the ultimate and final challenger.
Offhand. the writer would pick
Delaney as the film for Dempsey
at the Yankee stadium match. My
impression is and has been that the
will turn up very alb.
sent when the showdown comes.

TQDEYS SPORTORAL
BY kirk Miller

A gridiron thrill which was
offered one or two football audi
ences in the country practically
very Saturday of 1926 has very
peculiarly been missing from the
1927 descriptions. We refer to
the custom so prevalent a year
ago whereby undergraduates so
frequently tore up the goal posts
by the roots and carted the
kindling entirely off the land
scape. So far this season, We
have read Of not one instance
where the uprights were pill
fered by the student body. We
believe this condition repre-
sents a step forward in football
civilization.
Such piece of alleged COL
lege spirit has ever and anon
seemed uncalled for, to our way
of thinking, and our heart re-
joices that less and less of this
particular type of enthusiasm
is being exhibited from Satur-
day to Saturday.
1t seems the annual Princeton
Cornell game totally lacked this
customary piece Of mischievous-
ness at their recent meeting,
for which Romeyn Berry, grad
uate manager of athletics at
Cornell, is duly grateful. He
has written a letter to DIR.
Charles Kennedy, chairman of
the Princeton Board of Athletic
Control, in which he profusely
thanks the Tiger cohorts for
protecting the Cornell goal posts
after the game.
Zone thing | worried a little
about was the goal posts" stated
Mr.. Berry in his letter. at was
the only set we had and it would
have taken some hustling at

TY MAY CD
To GIANTS

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.-There is a
possibility Ty Cobb may finish his
long and brilliant career In the
major leagues as a member Of the
Giants. If the other seven Amer.
lean League clubs waive on the
veteran outfielder-and they most
likely will-John McGraw may offer
the Georgia Peach" a contract to
play at the Polo Grounds next
season.
McGraw realizes that with
Hornsby and Cobb in the Giants
lineup he would have a "two.man
show" to rival the attraction OF
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, the big
home-run men of the Yankees for
1927. The vice president and man.

day as to whether Cobb will be
with the Giants next season.
When the famous Outfielder,
along with Iris Speaker. was
restored to good standing by

the Dutch" Leonard scandal,
Mc(iraw quietly sought to sign
Cobb for the Giants. But Con-
ME Mack WAS eager to keep the
famous Georgia Peach" in the
American League and signed
him to big contract.
While Cobb has long passed the
peak of his greatness, there is
still a lot of good baseball left in
him, and McGraw probably will be
willing to give the veteran out,
fielder a big contract to play with
the Giants. T'y had a real good
season this year, and, as Mack
stated in Philadelphia yesterday
the only reason that Ty was re,
leased was because of his big con.
