CHICAGO, December 19 —Willie Hoppe, who, for almost 2 quarter of a century, has been winning billiard titles, tonight gets a chance to win the only one that has escaped him—the world | three-cushion crown. | Steady and yet spectacular, Hoppe has i stroked his way. to two triumphs in the | championship round robin tournament at Orchestia Hall, winning the right to meet the defending titleholder, Johnny Layton, Sedalia, Mo., in the deciding match tonight. Ralph Greenleaf, New York, has clinched at least a tie for the pocket billiard championship which he is de- fending at the two-title tournament. Victorious in his two matches, Green- leaf alone remains undefeated. Should he be upset tonight by Frank Taberski, Schenectady, N. Y., in the final match, the least he can get is a tie. Taberski, Pasquale Natalle and Erwin Rudolph, his challengers, have been defeated. In meeting Layton for the title, Hoppe has an opportunity for revenge. In the championship tournament here last Spring, Hoppe came to the champion- | ship finals with the Sedalia fisherman, | but was defeated. The defeat of Taberski by Natalie, Beltimore, 87 to 125, last night, was the | upsat of the t ceded to be t threaten G one seriously to | crown, Taberski fell before Natalie’s great shots, and was behind all the way. The upset makes possible a triple tie for the pocket bil- liard title. If Taberski defeats Green- leaf and Natalie defeats Rudoiph, who is out with two defeats, the three will be tied with two victories and one defeat each.. In the final matches today and to- night, Reiselt meets Copulos for third place, and Hoppe clashes with Layton in three-cushion, while in pocket bil- liards, Rudolph meets Natalie and Greenleaf meets Taberski.

The cities of the country have spent millions of doll: in trying to meet this problem, but up to the present time no real satisfactory solution has been found. Here in Washington our sewage disposal amounts to 8 gallons a day and a city of the siz New York must run into the billions. Five years or more ago this column stated that the Potomac River was poiluted. This statement was attacked, but the Public Health Service after a careful investigation reported that the Potomac was highly polluted. There are a great many injurious substances flow- ing into the Potomac River. which ac- ;‘n}rding to the District Code are unlaw- u Section 901 of the District Code, De- posits of Deleterious Matter, says: “No person shall allow any tar, oil, ammoni- acal liquor or other waste products of any gas works or works engaged in using such products, or any waste product whatever of any mechanical, chemical, manufacturing. or refining establishment to flow into or be de- posited in Rock Creek or the Potomac River or any of its tributaries within the District of Columbia or into any pipe or conduit leading to the same. “The prohibition of this section is general and unqualified, and applies to all alike, and prevents the discharge of any such waste products.” ‘The latest thing called to the atten- tion of this column, resulting in the killing of & large number of fish in the Eastern Branch, was the tapping of the sewer along the Eastern Branch, al- lowing sewerage to run down into the marsh and into the river. This matter was called to the attention of the Po- lice Department and Edwin B. Hesse, major and superintendent of police, im- mediately had the matter investigated. His letter follows: ‘Dear Mr. Miller: ‘Reference is made to y and healthfnl treats INCORPORATED i 2 « ESTABLISHED 760 attention to pollution of the Potomac River waters resulting in the killing of 'ge numbers of fish, “I find, upon inquiry, that the Sewer Department found it necessary to tap the sewer extending along the Eastern Branch, allowing sewerage to run down into the marsh. “The representhtive of the Sewer De- partment informs me that the tapping of the old sewer was necessary; that they have made other temporary ar- rangements at conslderable expense. am further informed that the connec- tion of the new sewer will, under ord nary conditions, be completed this week, thereby relieving cause for complaint. “Very truly yours, “EDWIN B. HESSE, “Major and Superintendent.” Despite Maj. Hesse's reassuring letter. Harry D. Bailey, wha runs the boa house at Benning Bridge, informed this- column that late last week conditions were the same and that the odor was offensive and that additional dead fish were floating in the water. He also said that he first noticed this condition last September in hauling minnows. He also said he was informed that waste material from the yeast plant at Lang- don, D. C; was emptying into this sewer and that many fish had received their first and last taste of alcohol. Anyhow, hundreds of fish have been killed by this sewerage including bass, perch, catfish and carp. L A.

FORFAMEINGANE Much Improvement Is Seen in Duckpinning Done by Novices This Year. | CORING done recently by Wash- | ingion bowlers indicates the counting in The Evening Star individual duckpin championship tournament to be held on the { Lucky Strike alleys December 26-29 |and January 2-5 will be exceptional. | And as the recent heavy scoring has | been done by bowlers hitherto regarded only of the rank and file of the zame, it seems likely the so-called stars of duckpinning will not grab all the glory of the competition. In the sudden rise of many duckpinners of Washington and vicinity | presages a serics of splurges by the | usually average class of shooters. Just why the mass of bowlers should so sud- | dently begin to improve in play this season is not easy to understand. There | doesn’t seem to be much more bowling than there was last season, nor are the |general run bowlers practicing more than usual. It may be, however, that the number lof new alleys thrown open this scason | has much to do with the improvement |In the game. More than 100 drives are |in use ‘this season for the first time. | They_are fast and probably help the | duffei’s game more than they do the | stars. At any rate, something has put | more pep and punch into the bowling |of the fellow who before was nothing | more than a plodder. The Star tournament is to bring to the drives many bowlers who never be- | fore have participated in a competition 4 | of such extent. ,The event is open to duckpinners: of the District of Colum- bia, Montgomery, Prince Georges and | Charles Counties of Maryland, and | Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington Coun- tles and Alexandria City of Virginia, | which section perhaps has more duck- pin bowlers than any other section of simlilar extent in the country. Some New Sharpshooters. In nearby Maryland and Virginia as well as in Washington there are num- bers of men and women taking part in bowling this season for the first time. | And of this new group many will strive | for the fine prizes to be at stake in The | Star tourney. Even though comparative novices, there are some of thes» pin shooters already capable of giving battle to the stars of the pastime in a limited set of games. So watch for surprises in The Star tournament. Scores of these newcomers to the game have filed tourney entries this week and more are likely to fall into line before the lists close Saturday, December 22, at midnight. They get into the tourney at no cost, for nominal entry fee pays only for the games they are to roll. For men, who are to bowl five games each, this is $1. For women, who are to bowl three games each, it is but 60 cents. The fee must accompany the entry and entries must be in the hands of the management at Lucky Strike or the bowling editor of The Star by midnight next Saturday. The schedule commit- tee is to meet Sunday and it must have all entries available to arrange the tournament program that will be pub. lished in The Star on Monday afte: noon.
