An exhibition tour of the east, with Bchaefer demonstrating his =~ skill against Roger Conti, French cham- pion, is planned to start next Satur- day.” The first mateh, it Is sald, will be in South Bend&, Ind. Twice last night victory lay within Hoppe's reach, but mistakes spelled defeat. Each player left the balls in fairly easy position for his opponent, and after a run of 126, Hopped missed ® short draw shot. In the next inning. Hoppe ran 47 and then miscued, a yare occurrence for him. Schaefer found the balls close together and easily ran 44 and out. Although he is only twenty-seven, Young Schaefer has been playing the game for a score of years. His father, who died ten years ago un- defeated champion in ‘the 18.1 style of play, was regarded as one of the greatest players in history and was referred to as “the wizard.” Followed Father's Advice. “Be a champion or nothing,” was the advice his father gave him and. upon ‘which he acted. The new champion is known as one of the nerviest of players, some of his critics asserting that he was inclined to take too many chances. His playing s especially methodical and he never becomes flustered. He made his professional debut in the cue game when he was sixteen. Early in the tournament Schaefer was defeated dby Roger Conti, the French champion, 405 to 203, in a game In which he had difficulty in keeping the balls together. This was his only defeat of the tournament. His victory over Hoppe Tuesday night enabled him to tie with the former champion for first place, each being credited with five victories and one defeat. Hoppe's defeat Tuesday night was his first in nine years and _the worst beating he ever received. During his career as world title holder Hoppe, last night was 500 to 346.

Thirteen years ago he was defeated by Jake Schaefer, sr., father of the man who wrested the champlonship from him. In the match with the elder Schaefer Hoppe lost, 423 to 500. His other tournament defeat was in 1912, when KoJi Tauada, the Japanese, won, 500 to 492, In addition to attaining the world title in the present tournament, the new champion ablished a world's record for averages when he beat Walker Cochran 400 to 0 in two {n- nings, an_average of 200, double the previous high average. In this game he had a high run of more than 300, but could not quite equal Cochran's world record of 384 set in another game of the tournament.

With the Army-Navy game at hand, lovers of foot ball will be interested to know something of the careers of the two coaches who have whipped the rival teams into shape for battle. Maj. Daly, who has the gridiron fortunes of West Point in his keep- ing this year, was a star himself for years—first at Harvard and later at West Point. He was as dangerous n| man to have loose with the ball asany opponents ever faced. As West Point coach Isaly has been handicapped by the lack of material out of which stars are made. Oliphant was the last, and with his passing the Armv | has been hard put to stem the tide of Navy victories. This year, with French fit and at his best, and with the improvement that was notable in the defensive work of the West Point line, hope sprang afresh in the breasts of Army adher- ents only to be crushed by the over- . whelming defeat by Notre Dame. But the Army is famous for its great omebacks, and its partisans have faith that Daly will have bolstered up the weak spots before the team 1akes the field against the Navy. Bob Folwell, coach of Navy, was A successful coach at Pennaylvani and he has the reputation of beinz a great student of the game as well as a competent coach. Last year he showed his ability as a strategist in developing plays which assauited the Army's wings and forced the tackles 1o work so hard that the guards had to give some support. Then he struck hard across at the Army cen- 1er and smashel it back, making wide holes through which the Navy dashed 1o victory. This year his showed progress even bey ‘work of last season. PIGSKIN POST-MORTEM NOW ON AT MINNESOTA MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., November 24. pigskin post-mortem,” inviting students, faculty and alumni to write what, in their opinion is the trouble |\ with'foot ball at the University of Minnesota, has been started by the Minnesota Dally, official university pa- per. The Daily points out that out of eleven western conference games in two years. Minnesota has won but 1wo—those with Northwestern and Indiana this year. “To many. the season just closed has ®eemed far worse in its consequences than the 100 per cent string of defeats of the 1920 season,” the Dally said in an editorial. “Last year men who know foot ball gave Minnesota credit for ‘hard luck.’ This year such phrases @s ‘lack of training in the funda- mentals of foot ball’ ‘poor tackling’ and ‘high school plays’ have crept into the sport stories with deplorable frequency.” ¥ One of the first letters published in the “pigskin post-mortem” by a foot ball candidate criticised the coaching methods of Dr. Henry L. Willlams, ‘who has been foot ball coach at Minne- sota for many years. —_— Lewis Wins on Mat. PHILADELPHIA, November 24.—Ed.

NEW YORK, November 24.—Col. Huston of the Yankees knows nothing about prospective changes in his base ball team, and Miller Hug- gins, manager of the team if he signs a contract for the ensuing season, is not in New York, yet the old rumor has bobbed up again of new players on the nine, and this time it is Pipp, first baseman, who is to go elsewhere. ‘Where he s to go is something else, and as there is no player obtainable in the American League that is better than Pipp at first b the chances are that the latest but another roundabout revival the story that McInnis would come from Boston to New York and play first base for the Yankees in 1922. A8 Mclnnis is not-as fast as Pipp, and as the Yankees need speed, any lfl; that would not improve their spee would not help_their chances to win, As a flelder Pipp is quite as good as the average of a lot of rather or- dinary first basemen, but he has fallen off in his batting, and is less effective today than he was when he first came to the Yankees from Mich- igan. In_the world series he was a very feeble batsman, 8o far as pow- erful blows were concerned. }-lh played better at the base in the 'lnrhd series than he had played much of the time during the season. Will Get Dugan, It I ull.n been rumored that Du- ll"\.‘{l’a‘:r:‘ eman of the Athletics, might be transferred to New York, seeing that the Athletics are falrly well protected at third base. Baker is about through as a ball player. He not only has responsibilities at home, but his legs bother him and he can’t stand the’ udden l:’:‘:;"ln.rn: turns ch are neces: merwnExI- That means he has lost his l)fi!d, th itchell, who substituted for the Yankees all of the season of 1921, might find a place on the team if he could a little better. He did not cut loose with any hints that he would become a second Babe Ruth in time. He is & better second baseman than anything else, and the Yankees are not very likely to shift Ward away from second base, because his first’ year was a wonderfully good season at second,. and he looks like one of the coming second basemen for the library of fame. Would Outshime the Glants. The Yankees figure that they will have to put forth a base ball team even a little better than that of 1921, because the Giants, after their success of 1ast summer, will métke a great ef- fort to win again, in order that they can hold popular favor in New York. Tt may be added that they have a retty fair chance to win again if the Ritional League doesn't prop up a lot of clubs which will be weaker this Coming season than they were las The. ‘Qiants will not have much of anything to beat except St. Louis, Wwith Pittsburgh and Brooklyn on the side. Of course, that assumption is taken on the ground that the other teams are unable to get any players who will help them out.
