Pool Chompion
Is B Beoten By
Lakeside Officer

Hundreds of Ft. Huachucans who
watched Erwin Rudolph exhibit his
uncanny skill at pocket billiards
here during last Tuesday will be
aStoniShed to learn that while he
was at the Fort, the Worlds Cham
pion Pool Player had his measure
taken" at the table sport by none
other than 1t. Milton r. Rudnick,
Billiard Champion Of the Lakeside
Officers Club and officer of the Post
Exchange.
1t happened on Tuesday after
noon, just before Mr.. Rudolph be-
gan his exhibition of trick and fancy
shots at the club While he was
there waiting for the crowd to gath
er for his show, he challenged any
of the officers to play a game of
straight pool with him for a SO pit.
goal.
Here at Ft. Huachuca we do not
allow challenges to go unaccepted,
even from worlds champions, so
1t. Rudnick, with the honor of the
Post to upheld, took his cue in hand
and contested the experts suprem-
acy.
Mr. Rudolph who has met and
defeated all of the best pool players
in the world and who has a high
run record of 211 straight shots to
his credit, was restrained by 1t.
Rudnick's placements from achiev-
ing higher run than 10 and was
defeated by a score Of SO to 38 as the
Lieutenants sight-pictures enabled
him to "run-out" on the champion
with a series of brilliant shots.
1t. Rudnick has never competed
professionally at pocket billiards,
engaging in the game only as a rec
reational activity.
Mr.. Rudolph, unchagrined at his
defeat, promises to return to Ft.
Huachuca as soon as he can; and he
threatens to get revenge upon 1t.
Rudnick, if he can!

BY HAROLD CLAASSEN,

just few hours before Easter the
major league baseball players
learned they would have a rabbit
ball this season, after all.
The announcement that the Off
eial ball would be revitalized came
yesterday before the Philadelphia
Athletics blanked the Boston Red
Sox. 5 to 0-the success by the lowly
AS with the Gibraltar pellet surpris-
ing even the manufacturers, but not
influencing their decision.
The game, the only contest on the
abbreviated Good Friday schedule.
resulted in the eighth shutout in the
IL games played this spring. During
that time there has been only one
home run, in contrast to the six on
opening day Of 1912.
Lou Coleman, vice president of
A. G. Spalding & Bros, said the
present ball was dead because of the
cement used to bind together the
various layers of wool yarn and
balata, wartime substitute for
rubber
The balata center is OK, he said,
but the cement became hard when it
dried, making the ball as solid as
q brides first cake.
A new cement has been perfected
and a pellet which will resemble the
