Of ‘all the players who have been hovering within the «championship spotlight in recent years Koji Yamada of Japan alone is not found among the entries. He has had several tries at the national title in tournaments during recent years and can scarcely be rated in the same class with those who this year, will contest Hoppe’s right to continue as custodian of ihe crown. i Play will.be at 18.2 balkline, and the ultimate winner of the tourna- ‘ment will hereafter be subject to challenge. Preference in the matier of challenges will be given according to the position in which the various players, finish in the tournament. In other words, the player who finishes second will be given first chance in 1 match, with the title as the stake, providing, of course, he challenges for the title. 'All challenge matches will involve a money stake of $1,000. At the time the challenge is filed it must be accompanied by $500 and the remaining $500 must be posted not later than twenty days prior to thé match. The rules further pro- vide that the champion will nqt be required to defend his title prior to March 15, and he may name any date between March 15 and April 1, this leeway of fifteen days_ being allowed to insure the securing of a suitable hall for the match. Subject to Challenge. The winner of the first challenge match, in case of any challenge then pending, will 'be required to play the next match, not later than ithirty days after the first match, but has the option of selecting any date between twenty and thirty days fol- lowing the first match. The holder of the emblem cannot be called upon to defend his title in any match games from May 1 to Nov. 1. The entries for the tournament closed on last Sfaturday, but it' re- quired considerable time and thought to limit the number of starters to seven. In making the selection it is evident that® thosé in charge of the affair made the best selection pos- sible, and there is exery reéason to believe that the tournament in Chi- cago will be productive of some of the best balkline billiards that has been witnessed in this country for a long time. | A In the first p'sea, it is the first time in many palid moons that it has been a world's championship affair instead of simply a national cham- pionship test.

Chicago showed brilliant early season form jn their firs@ggame against Northwestern, ibut was ragged against Purdue two | weeks ago, even though holding back to save plays and players for their eastern trip. . .

Philadelphia, Oect. -20.—Carl Fish- er. captain of the University of Penn- sylvania tennis team, has left the university and will be unable to play in the intercollegiates next spring.

Will Stack Up Against the Strong Windsor Locks Eleven, Which Hflsy Good Record With a clear record so far this season the formidable Trojan lineup will un- doubtedly annex another victory to their credit Sunday when they play Windsor Locks, The Windsor Locks has a fine record as in 1919 they played nineé games and lost none, scoring 196 points to their opponents’ 0. In 1920 they played nine. #ames, lost none, tied one, scoring 182 to their opponents’ 8, So far this year they have playad two games and have scored 41 points to their opponents’ 6..

The management gnnounces he has secured games with some strong teams, He has been talkilky to Manager Hall- bach of the Meriden Mohawks and a date is soon to be set. All Thomaston is booked for the last Sunday of this month. All players must report for practice Thursday on High street grounds and Saturday afternoon on St. Mary's, BOUT FOR BRITTON. Welterweight Champion to ' Battle Mickey Walker on Nov. 1. New York, Oct. 20.—Jack Britton, welterweight champion and Mickey Walker of Elizabeth, N. J., signed ar- ticles yesterday for a 12-round bout to be held at the First Regiment Ar- mory in Newark, Tuesday, Nov. 1. The men will weigh in at 147 pounds at 8 o’clock on the afternoon of the bout. This will be their second meeting. They recently fought a great 12-round bout in Newark and at the end many of the spectators were of the opinion that Walker had defeated the cham- pion. ST T TO LEAD TIGER FRESHMEN. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 20.—Arthur T. Barry of Peabody, Mass., has been slected captain of the 1925 Prince- ton football team. Barry is 4 grad- uate of Exeter, and while there cap- tained botl the football and the base- vall teams. g RUTH MAY HAVE 0 TURN OVER PROFITS This Is the Minimum Penalty Expected From Judge Landis New York, Oct. 20. — In basehall circles it is no longer a question of jvhether Judge Landis would exact a penalty for Babe Ruth’s deflance of the rule against barnstorming, but just how severe the penalty would be. The conseusus was that it wogld be severe enough to ‘cause the Babe to regrel his hasty action if he really cares 1o remain in organized bascball. Wherever the Ruth case was the sub- ject of discussion, the opinion was general that it would cost' Ruth at least -every cent of the profits of his barnstorming tour., The only doubt- ful point was the possibility of a sus- pension. Not a few fans thought that since a suspension wouid work a severer hardship against the Yankee club than against Ruth, it may not be exacted, but there were just as many convinc- ed that Judge Landis is in the mood to make an example of Rutk for his failure to heed warnings expressly given, and that the home run king could expect no leniency. Having asserted that they wera be- hind Judge Landis in his stand that rulea werg not made to be broken no matter how unjust they appeared to be, the owners of the Yankee club had nothing to add on the subject yester- day. There was an air of resignation about the office, an apparent realiza- tion that there was a strong possi- bility of the club being compelled to play Without Ruth and Bob Meusel for a while next season. Everybody is awaiting Judge Landis's decision be- fore offering any further comment. This decision may be delayed until the major leagues hold their annual meetings early in December, the com-, missioner in the meantime announcing an_intefinite suspension. Despite rumors that the Yankeea already are dickering for-the services of Harry Hooper of the White Sox and others in order to meet any emer- gency, it is not likely that the club will make ary great effort to add re- serve strength to the outfield until after the Ruth and Meusel casa i1 definitely settled. It is fully six months before another baseball sea- son opens and there is plenty of time ahead for trades. The Hooper rumor started merely because Kid Gleason happened to be in New York and called to have a chat with Capt. Hus- ton. INJURIES CAUSE CANCELLATION. Clarksburg, W. Va.; Oct. 20.—West Virginia Wesleyan was forced to can- cel its football game with Navy at Annapolis next Saturday because three regular players are on the hos- pital list and six others are suffering from injuries which will keep them off the gridiron for at least another week. According to officials of the college Wesleyan’s three mainstays, Priester, Mohohan and Ross; back- field men will not be able to play for the remainder of the season and for this reason the Navy was re- quested to cancel the game next Sat- urday. ROVERS WANT GAMES. averaging 115 or 120 pounds, in New Britain or vicinity. Games in this city or out of town will be acceptable. Frank A.

Princeton, N. J,, Oct. 20.—Prince- ton’s varsity football eleven tried its skill with the 1925 freshman team this afternoon for the firsy time this scason. In a twenty-minute serim- mage the varsity registered one touch- down against the yearlings, the score being made by Gordon. It was a costly victory, however, that the varsity gained. 4 Just after the play was started, Dick Newby landed on his arm after oeing tackled and was carried off the field. The doctors do not know the exact trouble, but he will probably be unable to play for a week. Newby was taken to the infirmary where an X-ray examination was made. Lin Gordon, who was sent in to take New- by’s plade,was forced out 5 minutes later with a broken right leg, and w~:'l, of course, be unable 4gain this season. terial is limited this seaon, and the loss of these two men. especially if Lourie and Garrity are out, will be keenly felt.

Johnny, it is alleged, tied a cord around his playmate’s neck and, after fastening 2|it to the shaft of the grindstone, turned its handle until Mary was dead. “I don't like her, any more,” he said, it is asserted, when the deed was done. ; Mary's year old . brother, Benny, took his sister's hat home ‘when he stepped in the yard of John Zajac and saw her lying there. Eddie Szpila, 10 years old, went to the scene a few minutes later to see little Mary being taken from the grindstone by Mr. Zajac, who gave the child’s body to Mrs. Victoria Wojac, gnother neigh- bor of the Szpila family. Men and women of the neighbor- hood went to the Szpila home when they heard of the tragedy and the house wa: filled with the cries of hysterical mothers.
