GREENLEAF REACHES
FOR eleventh TITLE
Can Do No Worse Than Tie for
First Place in Pocket Billiard
Tourney.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, December 10
Debonair Ralph Greenleaf of New York
stood on the threshold of his eleventh
supremacy in the worlds pocket billiard
world today, assured Of no worse than
tie for the title.
Hundreds of persons who have
watched the championship tournament
here expect him to finish with record
devoid of defeat, mark which has not
been equaled for years. But two play
ers stood between him and the record.
Last night he suddenly shifted his
style and for the first time during the
19-day tourney resorted to caution and
minute study of shots before he made
them. Frank Taberski of Schenectady,
N. Y, former champion, was his op-
ponent.
Greenleaf Won 125 to 70, in II in
nings, but he had a bad error-he
missed his first break shot of the tour
nament. He was slightly nervous
throughout and displayed none Of his
rapid-fire shooting which had marked
other games.
George Kelly Of Philadelphia will
meet him tonight and Erwin Rudolph
of Cleveland on Monday.
Should Greenleaf defeat either of the
men he will be undisputed champion.
Should he lose to both he will still
be tied for the crown. Even if he ties
he still will have the play-off
Rudolph has won seven and lost two
games. He alone can tie Geenleaf
Kelly lost his third game yesterday and
slipped into third place as Andrew
PonZi, also of Philadelphia, ran IS, to
finish a 125-to-66 victory.

CH|CAG0AN BEATS
L0UGHRAN EASILY
King Sends Tommy to Floor
Four Times in Ten-Round
Bout in Garden.
BY HUGH FULLERTON. JR,.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n IEW YORK, December 19.-
M To King Levinsky, a wild
i \ punching youngster from
Chicago, goes the credit
for scoring the biggest upset of
the New York indoor boxing sea-
son.
The Kingfish ripped into calm
Tommy Loughran last night,
f1oored him four times in the 10
rounder with his rough-and-
tumble attack and gave the Phila-
delphia stylist his first defeat in
13 matches since he was knocked
out by Jack Sharkey here two
years ago.
Through his victory over the former
light t-heavyweight champion, Levinsky
climbed right up amcng the leading
heavyweight contenders. Loughran. a
4-to-1 favorite at the start, was rated
as one of the best before he ran into
the upset that left a crowd of 1853
stunned with surprise. Previously
Loughran had defeated Levinsky in
Chicago
Tommy, the cool, clever boxer, hardly
had chance last night after he STEP
ped into one of Levinsky's long looping
rights just before the end of the first
round. After that wallop, which left
Tommy's knees sagging and ssnt him
to his seat half-dazed at the bell
Ioughran never really came back. In
the third round and the fourth and
again in the ninth Loughran forgot to
duck the Kingfish's wild swings and
went down for three counts of nine.
LevinSky earned the unanimous de-
cision of Referee Arthur Donovan and
two judges.
After the ninth, Loughran was SO
dazed that he sat down in Levinsky S
corner and had to be hauled away by
his seconds, and he barely managed to
keep his feet through the final round
Loughran gave away 1912 pounds in
the encounter, weighing 1882 to
Levinskys 1914.

GIANTS HAVE TRIO
Of FINE RECRUITS
Much Expected of Gibson
and Mooney, HurIers, and
Koenecke, Gardener.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,

n YEW YORK, December 19.-John
M McGraw, still one of the great
Y est judges of base ball talent,
has delved into the bag again
and come up with a trio of brilliant
prospects for his 1882 Giant machine,
Just as Johnny Vergez lived up to
his fondest hopes at third base last
season, McGraw expects Jim Mooney,
Sam Gibson and Leonard Koenecke to
step into regular jobs next Spring and
transform the Giants from a second
place club into a championship outfit.
Gibson Is the 200-pound right handler
Wn) won % games and lost only IL
for San Francisco last year and led
Coast League pitchers with an earned
run average of 2.48. He struck out 207
batters and walked only SO.
Mooney Clever Southpaw.
Mooney is the young southpaw SEN
satlon who was recalled from Bridge
port late last season. All he did was
win seven out of eight games and clinch
second place for the McGraWmen.
Koenecke is the $4,000 outfielder
purchased from indianapolis.
He belted American Association pitch
ing for an average of 1854 last year, in
Guiding % home runs, 20 triples and %
doubles. McGraw expects him to play
left field regularly next Summer
The three are the cream of the five
rockies in the encourage that leaves
here February IA for the clubs new
training camp at Los Angeles.
Lindstrom to Play Second.
McGraw plans only one major opera
ton on his infield. Freddie LindStrom,
the former third baseman who was do
ing bang up job of outfielding until
he was injured last year, will be given a
thorough trial at second base. The ailing
Hughie Critz will be in reserve. The
rest of the inner works is set with Bill
Terry at first, Travis Jackson at short
and Vergez on third.
koenecke promises to fit in nicely
with Melvin OFT and Fred Leach as the
regular outfield, with Chick Fullis and
Ethan Allen offering strong replace
ments. The veteran Bob O'Connell and
Frank Hogan are slated again to divide
the backstopping.
Gibson and Mooney round out fine
pitching staff which includes Fred
Fitzsimmons. Bill Walker, Carl Hubbell,
Clarence Mitchell, Jim Chaplin and the
great-looking youngster, Hal Schu-
macher.

RINGER CARD IS 43
FOR MANOR COURSE
Freak Scores Rarer Than on
Most of Capitals Other
Golf Layouts.
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.

A LTHOUGH the course is
n shorter than most of the
| ~ golf layouts around Wash
a ington, the all-time record
for the layout at the Manor Club
is far above similar records for
most of the longer courses near
Washington. The present 18-hole
course of the Manor Club sports
an all-time record of 43, composed
of % for the first or woods nine
and 81 for the longer and more
difficult second nine.
The reason for the comparative
obesity of the all-time record on the
| first nine is that it has been in play
only little more than two years, while
the second nine has been in play for
nearly nine years. The longer a goli
course is in use, the more chance there
is for some golfing gent to knock in
a long braSSie shot or hole a full iron
shot, or do some other freakish thing
which will bring down the all-time
record. For example, neither of the
two par five holes has been done in
two strokes, although both of them
have been reached repeatedly in two.
Both the short holes on the first
nine have been holed in one stroke
from the tee, but only one of the pal
four holes on the woods nine has beer
! holed in two strokes. The Manor Ciut
course, for some reason, has not a!
many freak scores as the other courses
have.
Here is the all-time record for the
layout:
No. l. 40 yards, par five, holed
In three many times.
No. 2, 153 yards, par three, holed
in one.
No. 3, 345 yards, par four, holed
in three but never in two despite
the fact the green has been driven.
No. a. 282 yards. par four, holed
in two by Harry G. Pitt
No. S, $50 yards, par four, holed
IN three many times.
No. 6, $40 yards, par four, holed
in three many times.
No. 7, par four, holed in three
many times.
No. s. 146 yards holed in one.
No. 9, 467 yards, par five. holed
IN three many times Tommy
Bones hit the hole for two but the
ball tipped out
! No. 10. 800 yards, par four, holed
N three many times
No. II, l25 yards. par three, holed
IN one by Mrs. L. G. Pray and
others.
No. ~, 316 yards, par four, holed
IN two by Maurice Nee.
NO. 13, 1913 yards, par four, holed
in three many times.
No. IA, 430 yards, par four, holed
in three many times.
No. Is, 485 yards. par five, holed
In three many times.
No. Is, 378 yards, par four, holed
IN two by Claggett Stevens.
NO II, 227 yards, par three, holed
IN one by w. A. Warthen.
No. Is, 3S5 yards, par four, holed
IN three many times
IhS gives an all time record o.
22-2l-E3, which is unusually high fol
SGch short course, considering the
50 best ball at Columbia, the as al
Indian Spring and Washington and the
similar all time score at Congressional
But the tip-off on the score is the
fact that Manor is comparatively :
new course and has not been plavec
as long as the others.
