Meets Second Defeat of Season at Hands of Up-State Team—Meek of Norwich Out-Pitched Opponent But Received Poor Support—Counihan and McKnight Shine With the Willow—Brassill's Tally In the Ninth Saved Academy From Goose-Egg. : B On Wednesday afternoon in a hard- fought game marred by a number of errors the Academy nine met defeat at the hands of the Pomfret team. Meek showed up much better as a pitcher ‘than Jackson, who was found for seven hits by the Academy fel- lows. Bill McKnight as usual shone with the stick, getting two safe hits out of three times at bat. Captain Counihan of the Academy and Captain Buell of Pomfret each got a two base clout. Mallory was the shining star for Pomfret, getting two hits and run- ning wild on the bases. The game was close until the sixth inning, when the Academy team wént to pieces for a few minutes, and four Pomfret men crossed the plate. In the last of the ninth the Academy staged a batting rally which looked good after Meek and McKnight each got a hit and Brassill scored, but the best Hull could do was hit to Jackson for an easy out at first. The game opened with a rush, Mec- Knight leading off with a single, then stealing second. Hull reached first on a single. Ringland hit to Buell, who threw to first, nailing him easily. Counihan led off in the sixth by knocking a foul fly up to Mallory. Sayles did the same thing, and Haney struck out. In the Pomfret half Schuette led off by getting a single, 'but was nailed trying to steal second. Mallory hit a single, stole second and scored on Hull's error. Buell hit to Ringland, ‘who threw wild to Brassil, letting Townsend in and " getting to second himself. Tailer then hit to Hull, who fumbled, Buell getting on, Tailer taking second. Hall flied up to Meek and Burton hit to Meek,” who threw: wild to Brassill, letting Tailer in. The 4nning was ended after four men had crossed the plate by Jackson hitting to Ringland, who threw him out at first. Brassill opened the seventh by get- ting a pass. By an error of the sec- ond baseman Brewer got on and Bras- sill advanced to third base. Meek then hit a-long fly to right field. RBrassill tried to beat the throw home but was nailed at the plate. McKnight drew a pass and Hull struck out. The first two Pomfret men were hit by pitched balls. Mallory hit to Meek, who threw to Sayles, getting Martin McKnight and Hull advancing. Things at third.

Telephone 38-3 WILLIE HOPPE MUST LOOK TO HIS CROWN Billiard Champ Has Dangerous Rivals In Cochran and Schacfer Another year and Willie Hoppe may be forced to give up his billiard crown to either Welker Cochran or Young Jake Schaefer, Billiard follow- ers would not favor a championship match just now, for a defeat for either of the youngsters would have a mean effect on their future chances. But another year may give the situa- tion an entirely different complexion. Both Cochran ang, Schaefer in their match in New York demonstrated that they were ceritable topnotchers. On several occasions each averaged better than 40, and Schaefer who proved the winner, had a grand average of 30. It is hinted that Hoppe could not do as well at the present time. On his tour with Charlie Peterson, Hoppe of iate has been beaten . rather too often. On his travels the champion has not been able to take the exer- cises which keep him in condition while he is at home The sameness of routine and the fatigue of travel no dcetbt have hurt Hoppe's game. Another year and maybe- Schaefer will mount the throné. What more fitting? The young Jake where once sat the might old Jake—a great among the few greats of the r,rben baize.

Pilant saw Wood- ward practice with the Phillies in the | south and was favorably impressed by his work. Pants Rowland claims that Red Fa- ber of the White Sox pitching staff is the most underrated pitcher in the | business. ‘“He belongs in the same, class with Walter Johnson and Grover Alexander ” continues Rowland. “When the records of all time are written Faber’s name will stand high among the famous pitchers of the game.
