CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-They've

3-cushion billiard tournament which
opens here today and Young Jay
Bozeman predicts that before the
championship winds up next April
there'l be IAN argumentative blast"
heard round the billiard world.
Bozeman, who halls out of VAL

Chicago in the long round-robin
tournament, wouldn't say whether
he was for or against the new rule
which will prohibit the 10 experts In
the field from deliberate safety play.
He's convinced, however, that it will
make the championship a lively af-
fair.
Referee to Check Play.
''Under the rule he said, "it is up
to the referee to determine whether
a player actually is trying to play
safe on shot or is making an honest
attempt to make the shot. The

is thinking of the leave on every
shot, and it's going to be interesting
to see how some of the veteran
safety players react
\ The rule was designed to speed
up play in the tourney, in which
the 10 experts will make two swings
around an eight-city circuit and will
split $4,000 in prize money.

"Joe Chamaco, who with Johnny
Layton will represent New York, is

Bozeman, who was runner-up for
the world crown in 1888. "He's a

But in this kind of a field it's inn
possible to pick a winner. Concen-
tration is everything in billiards and

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 10
The San Francisco Academic
Athletic Association called a

ports some athletes had been
lured into certain high schools on
promises of free street car rides

Arthur Fagin, president of the

four local high schools threaten

troublesome problem for the body
in that it has no regulations gov

I'VE never thought of proselyt-

ways considered that a problem
peculiar to colleges"

Skeen edged his way back into

"Budge has been steadier with
his forehand, but he's not as

the better backhand, and how he
can nail 'em!"
To prove their lack Of complete
respect, on the court, for the

Skeen and Barnes will meet them
