In two of the best played games ofthe season in the City Basketball league Tuesday night, the American Le- gion defeated the Texas quintet 24 to 20 and the Reo Crowns took the Polarines into camp 28 to 18. The games were played in the Baptist church gymnasium. The first game was a battle all the way with the Texas HOPPE HOLDS TH Bl LEAD Cochran Must Play Two To One If He Wins Billiard Match. CHICAGO Dec. 19.—Welker Coch- wan, young Pacific coast expert, faces the almost impossible handl- cap of playing Willie Hoppe, two to one, if he takes the 18.2 balk line billiard championship here tonight in the third 500 point block of their 1,500 point playoff of their recent tournament. Leading 500 to 203 after the first night's play, Hoppe swept far into the lead last night when he gathered another 500 billiards against} giving him a lead of To win tonight Coch-} ran must make 1,064 points, while Hoppo's task is to optaln the conven- tional 500. Cochran was efforded numerous opportunities last night to keep abreast Hoppe, but failed, lack of mastery of the masse being respon- sible in at least two instances. The Hollywood youngster appeared to be in excellent form when he took hig first turn at the table and ran off 50, playing deliberately, but after that he fell down badly as much through poor effort as through find- ing difficult plays left for him by the yeteran champton. ——~ — | SPORT BRIEFS: out in front until the last five minutes. Maupin, left forward for the Legion, made four baskets in rapid succesion tn the closing minutes of the game and put his team in the lead. The Texas play was featured by the shooting of Westgaard and the guarding of Zo ble while Clowry played fine basket- ball for the Legion. The second game was nip and tuck all the way with the heavier Red Crowns pulling out on top at the end. Rae and Patterson kept the winners in the lead with Sam Neff doing the heavy work for the Polarines. It is games like these that makes basketball the favorite sport it is and the large crowd attending hese games evidence the fact that basket- ball {s steadily winning its place among Casper sport lovers. Tonight at the high school gym the Postoffice and Methodist fives and the Smokehouse and Midwest teams will clash. These four teams are considered the cream of the league in the games already played this season and should show some sporty and fast work. Games call ed promptly at § o'clock, so it would be well to be there early in order to set a favorable seat. Sport Calendar Racing. Meeting of Jefferson Parish Fair association at New Orleans.

FORRELL (United Press Sports Editor) EW YORK, Dec. 19—(United Press)—Golf always has been a sport inclined to scatter its honors and keep its glory moving and 1923 was no exception to what has be- come a general rule that champions ¢an’t repeat. Only two of the major title hold-' ers of 1922 were able to retain their places at the top of the heated cam. paigns for 1923. | Gene Sarazen was able to retain his crown as the professional cham- pion of the United States and Chick Evans did his annual stunt of winn- ing the western championship. arazen’s victory in the profes- sional tournament came late in the and fees for professionals depend |naturally upon the list of titles that they can tack on their signature Perhaps the feat that was most popularly received by the public was pulled by Bobby Jones, the Atlanta youth, who came through spectac ularly and won the American open championship in a play-off with Bob by Cruickshank, the clever little Scot pro. It was pleasing to Bobby's friends, not only because he had striven so jong and so earnestly for the cham- pionship, but for the reason that {t was won under circumstances that gave proof of Bobby's capabilities as a good game golfer. Jones had thousands of friends pulling for him to do that seldom good enough for the American tite and Miss Edith Cummings, the Cni- cago girl surprised everyone by coming through the tournament and winning the championship. When Miss Cummings won the championship another unusual rec- ord was made, in that for the first time two major championships went to the same family. Dexter Cum- mings. of Yale, her brother, won tne intercollegiate champ! nip early in the season. eee As was the case in the United States, the British changed hands. Roger Wethered won the amateur championship and Arthur Havers took the open title. Both victories were more than pleasing in England, as they were won against the most formidable American competition and just be- fore the two tournaments the Brit- ish sportsmen felt themselves danger of being humiliated by having both British titles won by Americans. Hagen failed by one stroke to win [tbe British open and Francis Qul- championships t did the best for the American team in the amateur tournament when he got as fay as the semi-final round. Hagen’s hard luck tn missing a in the British | repetition of victory ‘ margin was n by such a narro’ c cated by Jess Sweetser, the for- mer American amateur champion, who lost the title to Marston on a stymie. iss Doris Chambers, a home pro- duct, won the British woman's golf championship, displacing Miss Joyce Wethered. see It was a testimonial to the increas. ig class of the game in the United States that two of the major titles had to be decided on extra hole watches. Marston had to play two extra holes to beat Sweetster in the amateur and Jones and Cruickshank had to go a special eighteen holes after they had finished in @ tle in the American open. | While defeats of the American | stars in the three big British cham- plonships did not make the average! very good for international competi- tion, the victory of the American team in Walker Cup matches against the British made up a little| for { Tho American team played most brilliantly and the victory ly the result of the une: shown by Dr. 0.

Interest in the game was not confined to competitors as was shown by the large galleries that looked at the championship matches. Golf has ta&én a great hold on the United States. The game is becom- ing more. popular generally and the form of American players is becom- ing better steadily. ——— FIVE MILLION ASKED FOR VETS’ HOSPITAL WASHINGTOD . 19.—After ot} conference with director Hines the veterans bureau, Chairman} Langley the house public build ings committee introduced a bill authorizing ‘the expenditure of $5,- 000.000 for additional hospital fa gabled war veters director Hines had in- | him the amount eee be nt to provide ne m-| fons. | ae Join the Christmas Savings club. icasper_Nat‘onal_ Bank.

Last year’s. champions in both the sing les and doubles are expected to be on hand to defend their tit!es.

While the former Atlanta girl suc ceeded in winning the coveted Can championship, she was no when the title was in possession of Ernest Barry ,the great English oarsman. One of the longest pugilistic bat- tles on record was fought by Danny Daley and Tommy White at Omaha. on December 6, 1890. The fight went ninety-oue rounds to a draw. last- ‘ng from o'clock in the evening untit 5 o'clock the next morning. For their nights work the fighters recelved one hundred dollars. The coming season will mark Babe Ruth's tenth year in profes sional beseball. It was tn 1914 that he started his career with the Balti- more Orioles and delighted the fans of the monumental City by winning nine straight victories before the season was much more than a month old. In these days of pugilistic values. it is interesting to note that less than $700 was divided by Jack Mc- Auliffe and Harry Gilmore when they fought 28 rounds for the light- weight championship at Lawrence Mass., in 1887, Of this amount Mc- Auliffe received $500, which repre- sented the amount of the purse. Gil more, on the losing end, would have had nothing for his labor if the crowd bad not gathered in $195 by passing the hat. ———=__ Have your next Christmas money saved.
