DETROIT, Dec. 2.-Once the
worlds cleverest pool shooter the
veteran Ralph Greenleaf of New
York is having trouble making the
balls behave now, but he had a
chance today to throw the current
world pocket billiard tournament
wide open.
Greenleaf, below form in recent
years after winning the title II
times, met Willie Mosconi of Jack
son, Mich, in one of today's five
matches. Mosconi. with three
straight victories, was leading the
tourney as the only undefeated con-
tender. ...,. >
Showing a flash of his old style
Greenleaf indulged in a high run of
of l22 yesterday in defeating Jimmy
Caras Of Philadelphia, 125 to 81 in
seven innings: IT was Greenleaf's
first victory. Last night he suffered
his second defeat. losing to Andrew
Ponzi of Philadelphia, 125 to 95 in
eight innings.
Greenleaf's high run, record for
this tournament, was four short OF
his world record of 126. He was
minus two at the start Of the run.
Ralph fell last night before a series
of daring call shots by Ponzi, who
won his third match in four starts
Ponzis only loss was the 1850
lacing administered by Mosconi in
the first days play. Mosconi, with a
high run of 80. trimmed defending
champion Irving Crane of Livonia.
N. Y. yesterday. l25 to As in II
innings. 1t was Cranes second loss
in three matches. In second game
last night Erwin Rudolph of
Chardon Ohio, won from Caras, 125
to l18 in II innings.

The Washington Divan champion
ship tournament is drawing to a
close with Reuben Fine leading the
field of nine stellar players with a
clean slate of six wins. Donald H
Mugridge, divan executive and
champion, recently withdrew be-
cause of poor health
Oscar Shapiro is runner-up with
a Al score, having drawn games
against Ariel Mengarini and Al
bert Fox. Martin Stark is third
with 3l2-2l2. He drew his game
against Henry Rousseau, whose
score is 2l2-312. Fox has registered
two wins, one draw and a loss.
Mengarini has chalked up three
points and as many losses. Luis
N. Ponce has one victory, two draws
and three defeats District Cham
pion V. L. Eaton has lost three
games and won one. Erstwhile
British Champion William E. Napier,
twice involved in accidents, has for
feited games to Shapiro, Stark and
Fox; dropped games outright to
Eaton and Rousseau. Rousseau has
one victory, two losses and three
draws.
At first glance it would seem that
only Fine and Shapiro are steady
tourney players. But there are and
have been many extenuating cir
cumstances in current play. Be
fore the final round more surprises
likely are to come.
From the divan championship
should emanate some of the best
games ever contested in District
chess annals. The following games
may give closeup of the strength

Tie Might Even Suffice,
But Loss to Trojons

BY FRANK FRAWLEY,

= PASADENA, Calf, Dec. g.
D Wallace Butts, who coaches the
University Of Georgia football team,
has the choice of scouting his DO

Los Angeles Is Best Bet.
Los Angeles might be the better
bet Tor Butts. The weather is nice
at this time of the year in both
places, but the trip to San An

junket entirely. Maestro Butts could
combine business with pleasure here.

here December IL it's U. c. L. A.

the Bruins will have six victories,
one defeat and no ties in confer

win this city battle, U. c. L. A.
Is out of consideration with two
defeats, and Washington State then
is tied with Washington in the
standing but has that 26-12 decision
against 1t. All this assumes, of
course, that Trojans and Bruins win
their games this week against Mon
