Kieckhefer Spurts
In Billiard Classic

Chicago, Feb. 5.-(P)-The threat
of Augie Kieckhefer, the southpaw
Chicago cueist. rose Friday in the
path of Otto Reiselt's steady march
toward the worlds three cushion bill
lard throne.
The Philadelphia veteran paired
with Gus Copulos of Eugene, Ore,
has been holding the undisputed lead
in the angle tournament for days,
but from the corner of his eye he
watched another match.
For Kieckhefer, only a game be-
hind him, met Arthur Thurnblad,
the defending champion and third
place holder, in a contest that might
materially affect the standings.
A defeat at the hands of Copulos
would not tip the Philadelphia
from the whip seat but should Kieck-
hefer down Thurnblad, he would
come up to share Reiselt's place in
the sun. And Reiselt must still meet
Kieckhefer in the titleward march.
Copulos ran into Johnny Layton at
his best yesterday and suffered q
surprising so to 81 defeat in 50 IN
nings.
Jake shaefer of San Francisco fin
ished his first bid for the angie title
by losing to Thurnblad in the night
match, 50 to SO, in 81 innings.

Ernie Schaaf Will
Fight Big Italian
Salvatore RuggirelIo to Substi'
tute For Pauline Uzcudun
at Garden Fight

New York, Feb. 5.-P}-A cracked
rib has lifted Salvatore Ruggirello,
] big Italian heavyweight, out Of the
ranks of the preliminary boys into a
15-round feature bout against Ernie
Schaaf Of Boston in Madison Square
Garden tonight.
The cracked rib was suffered by
Pauline Uzcudun, veteran Spaniard
and forced Pauline to withdraw from
the Schaaf bout In Ruggirello,s favor.
The Italian, three months ago, new
|er would have been given considera-
ton as a possible opponent for =
heavyweight of Schaaf's capabilities.
But knockout victories over Walter
Cobb of Baltimore and Stanley
Poreda Of Jersey City In his last two
starts have changed all that.
Ruggirello was on the short end OF
10 to I betting against Cobb but he
landed a right hand punch on Cobb's
chin before the fight had fairly got
ten under way and the Baltimore boy
went down and out.
Proeda, considered by many critics
the best prospect among the younger
heavyweights, was q to shot over
Ruggirello but again the Italian put
over that right hand and Poreda had
no further interest in the evenings
proceedings.
Ruggierllo knows little about boxing
and apparently cares less but when
he hits they they stay hit.

Rail Rate Hearings
Will Open Tuesday

Minot, N. D., Feb. 5.-(Pe1he first
Of three hearings ON applications Of
the railroads for . change In North
Dakota intrastate class rates will be
opened here by the state railroad
commission next Tuesday morning.
The second hearing Is to be held at
Grand Forks Feb. II, and the third
at Fargo Feb. -.
Protests against the proposed
changes have been entered by repre-
sentatives Of the three cities. The
railroads seek to place class rates on
traffic moving within the state on
the same scale as the rates ordered
by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion for interstate class freight.
A hearing on the railroads pro-
posal was conducted at Bismarck
early in December, with representa-
tives of the three cities appearing in
opposition to the railroads proposal.
An extension Of time to prepare an
answer was asked by the cities, and
hearing set at Bismarck for Jan.
rs. This subsequently was Cancelled
and three hearings arranged In the
various cities.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion ordered q new scale OF interstate
class rates, which became effective
Dec. 3. The railroads asked the state
commission to place the interstate
rates on the same scale as the rates
that apply between states.

predictions by taking all three games
on the difficult southern tour last
week have been repeatedly cautioned
by Coach L. T. Saalwaechter on pos
sibilities of overconfidence creeping
in to mar their fondest hopes. Fans
in close touch with Buffalo basket
ball hold, however, that the Bison
have been 'also rams" for so long
that they will give everything they
have in order to attain their long
postponed championship ambitions.
Saalwaechter Saturday will prob
ably start the same lineup which
turned back the Coyotes week ago.
Bob Weir, Fargo, the most import
ant scoring cog in Bison successes to
date, will take over his regular center
post. At forward, Walt Olson, Fargo,
and Donald Arthur, Mandan, will hold
sway. Arthur is second in scoring
and perhaps the most important floor
man. The speedy Bison guards, Wv
Mckay, Marion, and Eric Nordstrom,
Rockford, ILL.,, will again worry the
strong Coyote offense. Saalwaechter
has reliable forward reserve in
F'airhead. the lad who scored the win
ming basket in the South Dakota
university game, and Leo Thomasson,
husky Gardar, N. d. youth, is cap
able reserve guard.

Lake Placid, N. Y, Feb. 5.-tR)-The
1882 winter Olympics are just one day
old and yet the village of Lake Pla-
cid already is groggy from surprises
and thrills of the first Of these inter-
national struggles ever staged IN the
United States.

and the world at large. could stand
so beaten as they did Friday.
Yet on the record of the first day
of the Olympics stand the amazing
conquest of Irving Jaffee, boy from
the sidewalks of New York, who
learned his skating in two-by -four
rink on Sind street while the Scam
dinavians were living on steel blades
outdoors, and the triumph of Jack
Shea, local boy who grew up on the
ice of Placid and mirror lakes, just
down the road.
Shea, a sophomore at Dartmouth,
won the 500 meters final and defeated
by five full yards Bernt Evensen,
world champion, record holder, sup
posedly invincible at that distance.
Jaffee, slim Wall Street brokers
clerk, was even more impressive in
the 5000 meters final, spotting all but
one of the field q dozen yards in the
last lap and still beating them to the
finish line.
Trailing In fifth place a lap from
home, Jaffee flew through furious
snowstorm, passed all but Eddie Muir
ply his team mate from Chicago,
and then nipped him by inches at the
tape.
Overnight the United States be-
came an outstanding favorite to sweep
the games, although the hockey sit
uation was not frightened by Cam
ada's 2 to l overtime victory over the
homebreds while Germany was beat
ing Poland by the same score.
Friday the 1900 meters trials and
final were scheduled with Shea, Ray
Murray, Lloyd Guenther and Herbert

with whom the Chicago Blackhawks
have been dickering in their read" in

either remain with the Filters or sign
with the Hawks, will have to be made
before gate-time.

the Shamrocks, said Williams a de-
fenseman, had signed contract with
the Filters antedating any previous
contracts, had been paid to date. and
would be in the ST.. Louis lineup to-
night.
Bob Trap, Tulsa, Okla, defense
man, also was expected in Chicago to
sign a contract with the Hawks, but
President William F. Grant Of the
American League, said his league Is
protected by law, and that injunction
restraining both Williams and Trap3
from playing with the Hawks would
be sought. Both players were said to
have decided to jump the National
League because they had not been
paid.
It was reported that another Tulsa
player. Emil Hanson, also planned to
sign with the Blackhawks.
While players were the big items OF
interest in this sector. President
