WELKER COCHRAN AND LAYTON TO
 SETTLE TITLE

New York. Feb 22.-(UP)-The battle for the worlds three-cushion billiard championship was crys- talized to-day in a two-man affair: Welker Cochran of San Francisco, will defend the title tomorrow against the lone surviving conten- der, Johnny Layton of Sedalia. Mo.
 Only two of the 12 players re- mained when Layton eliminated the young Californian, Jay Boze- man, and Cochran downed Willie Hoppe of New Yorw, in yesterdays play.
 Nip and Tuck
 Cochran and Layton have each won eight and lost two. The oth- CTS have lost at least three. Hoppe and Bozeman play their final match tonight. but it will have no bearing on first money. If BoZe- man wins, it will give him a chance to go into triple tic for second with Allen Hall of Chicago and the loser of the Cohcran-Layton match.
 Layton, who has won the title SO many times that it's almost a habit, beat BoZeman yesterday 50 to 27 in 4S innings.
 Cochran downed Hoppe, the for mer boy wonder. 50 to 39 in 45 innings. It was Hopes fourth defeat in 10 starts.

By using a .ilgcr spin serve and str0k;ng the pnddie either to right or left. tho hop of tllc serve can be controlled.
 for a while and then, when your opponent Is convinced you play only one side of the table, switch from long smashes and cuts to li- tie dribbles just over the net and on the opposite side of the table.
 When drawn in. the opponent is d sucker for a smash to the op- posite corner.
 One of the main objections to finger spin serves is,that they gen. orally have the same, hope and an opponent soon gets wise to the way they bounce.
 You can change the hop on your serve by makingit directly in front of the body. The left hand doing the serving is held slightly in front of the paddle and, as the mall is snapped, the paddle is moved, with blade slightly inclined toward the net, to either right or left.
 This motion of the paddle will change the directorn of the balls bounce on the other side of the table.

What could be closer? W1lDy fans nearly went wild and with out question derived great deal of satisfaction out of the victory. Crosby, on the other hand, was bitterly disappointed and vowed that the return game would ina the result reversed in such deci- sive manner as to prove that the WilbY victory was just one of those things which happen to the best of teams
 Memorable
 Since that game both teams have met many opponents, but neither for a moment has for gotten that return engagement that is set for tonight.
 What the teams have done in oher games will be of no account now. Wilby, stung by the knowl- edge that Crosby regarded the green and white victory in the first game as a miracle, will be in there hammer and tongs to establish it's superiority by making it two straight. And Crosby is determined to wipe out the memory of that defeat, by a smashing victory this time.
 The teams will enter the game on equal terms. Wilby's first vic tory was by a margin altogether too small to give it a rating over Schofeld's club. On the other hand, Crosby cannot be made fav- orite over a tea that has already won the first game. Furthermore Crosby is altogether too cratic Il ball club to make them favorite. Capable of playing brilliant bas- ketball from the point of view of passing. dribbling and ball hand ling, the blue and white has shown surprising weakness in shooting and shooting happens to be very important factor. It is only the shot goes through the hoop that counts, and brilliant floor work. All goes for naught if 1t winds up in q missed shot at the end. Tnis has been Crosby's weakness this year. On only two occaions did the team put on an exhibition or hlgn class shooting, the first against Naugatuck. when Johnnie Griffin went on a rampage and rang up 15 points, and the second against Tor rington when Capt. Dunn and Joe Joyce accounted for 45 ipoints, Both those scoring sprees occurred
 
 that Crosby should enjoy such night at home. If tonight should prove to be the night, a Crosby victory can be anticipated.
 Off Line
 However. there is little reason to expect that Crosby will go o many such rampage. Two occasions in a season Is rather a low percentage. and if the team is again missing its shots as it ha ben, then Wilbys opportunity will have arrived.
 The Green and While has been playing steady brand of basket ball. It has been improving against Central and Harding, actually out played both those opponents. The breaks were against Jimmie Lees team, however, but the luck event ually turns.
 It promises to be great battle. A preliminary between the reserve squads will go on at 1880. Tickets will be sold at the gate for 25. and the admission for adults will be So Dancing will follow the game.

 The happiest since Weber cast his lot with Fields was in progress of achievement today.
 I speak, Of course of the union of Charles Dillon Casey Stengcl and the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National Baseball league. If all goes well MT Stengel will arrive from the coast on Friday and agree to manage the daffiness boys in their garations, hard by the canal that is the Gowanus.
 Unfortunately, do not know Mir Stengel very well. I have met him off and on at baseball gather ings, and seen (and heard him perform on the coaching line many times, but that's about all. But almost as if they wated to prepare me for just this emergency my colleagues have been filling their columns with Stengclania of late.
 From what l can gather, Casey is a card. l have read of how he amazed Pittsburg fans Gone writer named Umpire Bill Klcm instead of Pittsburg fans) by cOncealing d sparrow (another had it pig eon) under his cap and releasing it with a bow at a crucial moment. Others have related how Casey, in 1929, when finding out that his players were more interested Tn the stock market than the winning of ball games. fired a score of them at one shot. And how he broke the news of the dismissal with the an nouncement that he had a hot market tip for them: "Pennsylvania Railroad"
 From other, and just as unre- liable sources, I have learned that Casey is one of the kcenest base ball strategists in the business; that he has q grand sense of the ridic- ulous. caustic wit, gift for mingling with any and everybody. and yet is capable of becoming highly pompous and dignified when the occasion demands. Also that he boasts a flaming temper, and. during his career, has fought everything connected with baseball, from batboy to umpire, from .groundkeeper to president of the league. And that during his regime as manager of the Toledo Mud- hens. the Mudhen whi didn't rush on the field with n bat in either hand ~hen on argument came up was plastered with s25 fine.
 If all this is correct then .noth- fng short of divine providence managed the selection Of Casey ns boss Of the Brooklyns. The Dniil- ness boys need the direction Of such c mnn.

 With Art Young showing his best form of the season, the GriD- bon team had little trouble taking 3 points from the Cooke team.
 After losing the first game to Wolff's team, Tom Lawlor and Mike Whelan started hitting the pins in grand style, and the, East Finders had little chance after that nrst game.

 Bill Cavanaugh got an 8 fill spare in the 9th box of first game and Pope got a last box spare, with a 4 fill and won by 6 pins. They also finished the second game in the same fashion, and in the final game the Plumbers got started and rolled high enough to take that game along with pinfall.

Nothing in particular that either Crosby WiIby hoopers have accomplished before during after the big snow can justify the selection of either probable winner of onghts second basketball meeting It's true that Wilby surprised all hands by knocking off their supposedly much stronger rivals by point at the last meeting which was also the first this season. but the activities of each since then have been such as to allow any certainty of predicting the winner this time Because of the medocrt both teams this evenings seo should be interesting and
 possibly just as thrilling the last Unfortunately, closing of the schools may affect the ticket sale to students somewhat though the ducas sale at the school all day and will be handy tonight at the door By the latter time school authorities figure the weather will be good enough to interest at least thousand adults to the extent of making their way to the Wby gym for the game must be played this evening all other attempted having fallen through The coaches have the boys ready for another sterling effort all that remains being the sight of enough people to make their effort worth while.
