On nis second turn Hoppe was rolling the >rbs - delicately In the corner square when at 25 he failed to get the balls out * balk, Horemans displayed all the delicate wigardy of his stroke, counting 62 on Ms third tugn. Much of it was a cen- er panel nurse with an, occasional sparkling massé for which he is famous. A faulty direct draw that missed con- nectibn with the second object bail ter- mingted the cluster, Hoppe Iollowed with 40 close caroms and. then failed to get the first object ball on a play across the faces of the lined orbs, g Hoppe appromched the half way mark i his string with a run of 134 tallied n his fifth Inning. It sent him to the ead at a total of 216 to 72. While umassing this by cluster Hoppe held the vories in close formation. Much of the ime it amounted to a line nurse. He freely resorted to brilliantly executed bank shots to solve several lineups in an effort to maintalh position. During he middle sdction of the run tHe balls scattered. Hoppe led them by genfle stages to the head of the table where he missed an attempt to. overcome a ineup. 3 ‘Dispelling all doubts of ‘his ability to dlek off tHé caroms in amy part of tha able Hoppe backed his big run. withi ¥.

Hoppe missing on' a hree cirom in ‘which. the cue oall traveled thirty feet and failed to somnect because’ of faulty english. Hoppe stood et 315 at the end of thiy un with Horemans at 82. . MJGRAW WILL GIVE OCONNELL HIS CHANCE Johnny MecGraw is going to start Jimmy O’Connell, the $75000 wonder from San Francisco, in center field next spring and keep him there as long as the rookie makes good. This ‘was the gist of a statement by the Giants' manager on prospects for next season. eccidents, plagues and fielder of the Giants when the 1923 season opens. He'll get.the same course of treatment that Ralph Shinners got last spring. He'll be assigned to the regular team at the training eamp and heTl be kept in center field, come what may. Bvery chance wiil be afforded im to make good. I want him to feel that he won't be ranked out of the lineup if he doesn't star like a million ollars. It is a great help to a youmg- that the manager is go- ing to give him plenty of time to make T&ck Miller, the San Franchsco manager tells me that O'Cohnell, in his first year asea center fielder this season, came along rapidly and is practically ready for a berth with the Giante. Well, he'll surely get a chance. “If he should prove to be a disap- pointment, X1l have Bill Cunningham, Casey Stengel, Dave Robertson and Ralph Shinners ready to fight for the position. Cumningham, by his excel- lent work in the world’s series, show- ed that he has come along fast. He is the kind which develops slowly but steadily, and I have great confidence in Bill. “Looking over the prdspects, I'm convinced that the Giants are stronger now than they were a year ago at this time. Hugh McQuillan and Jack Scott, with Bentley as a' possibility, more than make up for. the loss of To- ney and Douglas, who were on the pitching staff a year ago. Don't over- look Claude Jonnard, either, Groh will be better with a winter's rest and a fresh start in the spring. He's still the best third baseman in the National League.” Y McGraw said he has not vet decid- ed about the location of the training camp. The choice lies between San Antonio and a place in Californja. Dr. Strub, President of the San Francisco club, will be in New York Sunday to lay before the Giants chieftain the advantaffes of training in the, Golden est.

He ran 85 oh his eighth turn at the table, a perform- ance ,that for right'and léft.handed cue executiof and clever position man- ipulation, was a masterpiece.

BOXING Midget Smith vs. Eddie O'Dowd, 10 rounds, at Providence. e e ————l DEMPSEY-WILLS BOUT MAY BE STAGED JUNE 30TH New York, Nov. 14—The proposed world’s heavyweight championship battle between Champion Jack Demp- sey and Harry Wills, New Orleans negro challenger for the title, will be conducted on June 0 if Tex. Rick- ard is the promoter of the impertant ring tilt. Rickard on Monday said he| ‘was prepared to hold the contest on tHe Suiurdey before independence Day. The promoter denied knowledge of plans to hold the proposed .bout on July 4 next, and added that he had done nothing definite as vet in signing the match. “The situation with regards to a meeting between Dempisey and Wills is now just as it was before the cham- pion left on his theatrical tour,” said Rickard. “As far as I am concerned and as far as I know, there have been Do new developments. I am prepared to hold the bout if the public de- mands it and if I can get the boxers to sign for any amount within rea- son. But if T hold the match it will not be on July 4 I had enough ex perience with July 4 as a battle date in the venture at Toledo in 1919. That experience convinced me that the besst ing match is the Saturday preceding’ July 4.7 _ Rickard said he would hold the_bout in his huge arema in Jersey City if it was at all possible. The promoter de- clared emphatieally that he would not undertake to erect a stadium in Man- hattan or the saburbs. An attempt to sign his match probably will be made some time in January or February in the event that conditions justify pro- oceeding with negotiations for such an important ring contest. Unless, however, there is every guarantee that the match will be permitted with- out official interference, Rickard said he would have nothing to do with it. Whether there .is another promoter, or a syndicate, seeking the match could not be learned. It is the gen- eral belief, however, that when the contest is signed Rickard will be the promoter. The situation, so far as could be learned, now is no further improved than it was last summer, when there was extensive discussion on the like- lihood of Dempsey and Wills meeting before the expiration of the 1922 out- door season. Wills has challenged Dempsey through the State Athletic Commission, and the champion has signified in writing, his willingness to box Wills provided suitable induce- mente are forthcoming. Dempsey in compliance with a demand of the State Athletic Commission, accepted { Wills' challenge. It is now up to a promoter or a syndicate to find a lo- cation for the match, guarantee the bout against official interference, sub- mit financial terms which appear to the champion and challenger and then the match will be a reality. Dempsey is traveling thru the coun- try on a theatrical tour which will con- clude on Dec, 24 at San Diego, Cal. ‘The champion and His manager Jack Kearns, plan 'to spend the Yuletide holidays with' their folks in Califor- nia, returning here early in January prepared for whatever awaits them. Maybe it will be another trip to Eu- rope with possibly a bout in London. Or it may. be another swing over the vaudeville circuit or a moving picture enterprise. And maybe it might be (;‘fra battle between the champion and i ickard just now is devoting his at- tention ‘to an international struggle, Wwhich Lom Gibbons, St. Paul. light- heavyweight, will engage Joe Beckett England’s heavyweight champion.

Rickard has Gibbon’s consent to this. meeting or any other bout the promoter can clinch. He now is awaiting word from Beckett on the of- fer cabled the Enslish champion. INDIFFERENCE COSTS FITTS HIS POSITION . With the Yale game less than two Weeks away Coach Fisher of Harvard may have to make a¥change or two in the varsity. Joe Hartley, a substi- tute letter end of last fall, may dis- place” Holder or Jenkins, and Rascoe Fitts, who has already started two Yale battles as a regular, may be there for his third. Fitts is a good summer date for an importani box- | some definite developments in the way |* punter, and, unlike Gehrke, affords his ends plenty. of time to cover the Kicks.

HILLAR TONIGHT IN FEATURE BOUT AT NEW LONDON _— ‘What promises to be the bast box- show to be staged in eastern Connec- ticut in many years, will be that which will be produced at the show of the National Athletic Club, New London. Wednesday evening and judging by the demand for tickets the. followe of fistiana realize that the bill is one of par-excellence. Never within the history of the oldest follower of the game has such a card been staged in New London for thirty-two rounds of Dboxing is to be served the fans and between boys of real class and eveniy matched. : The star bout needs no praise for | those who witnessed the previous bout between Johnny Dar of New \n.'k ! and Joe St. Hillair of Concord at the National Club well remember the thril- ling encounter these boys put up and the . fans well remember the serisa- tional knockout of St. Hillair in the ninth frame when he had the bout welk in hand, apparently. Darcy and St. Hil- lair are in the best possible shape, ac- cording to their managers, who eaca predict a victory for their boy. The pair had agreed to st: over the twelve round course and at 138 poun dn the semi-final of eight round; 145 pounds between Young Mar Flaherty of Lowell, ) Bush of New York, furnish plenty of action from bell to bell is in store for the fans. Flaherty has had it easy in his two previous starts, not that he h: not been pit- ted against good boys. but because he was far their superior, a fact that had to be brought about by performances. In Bush, however, he will meet the toughest boy of Flaherty's career for the New Yorker is both clever and holds a sock in either hand. His re- cent performances in New York have made him a desirable opponent for the best boys at his weight at the New York ciubs and he is sure to make Flaherty extend self. Two excellent six round prelimina- ries Soldier Gibson, the idol of the New London Artillery district, will battle Young Toronto of Kairfield, who hais been substituted for Wilbur Jennings because of an accident that the latter sustained, while in training. ‘These boys are hard workers and will give the fans a good run for -their money. In the curtain raiser Benny Nelson of Lowell will go against Car man Cook, of Bridgeport. formerly. of Philadelphia and one of the best boys at the 125 poundage in the game to- day. While Cook is a master fighter, he is destined to be put to the acid test.for in Nelson he will be up against a surprise party. Nelson is a clean-cut and exceptionally good- looking fel- low for a fighter, but if there is one thing better than another that Low- ell sctapper likes, it is fighting and he is “some fighter.” In these boys followers of the game will witness one of the best opening bouts ever stas- ed. hereabouts. TALK OF CUTTING DOWN HARVARD FOOTBAL PROGRAM Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 14—They are talking of limiting intercollegi- ate football games at Harvard to a single annual contest with Yale. The talk is serious and has found sup- port yet there is no dikelihood that the arguments will change the Crimson football policy. - It's all a matter of debate. In twé separate interclaas debates, freshmen against _sophomeres, and Jjuniors against the seniors, the affirmative prevailed on the proposition: “Resolv- ed:- that Harvard should limit inter- collegiate football games to gne an- nual contest with Yale, supplementing this with the Oxford swstem of intra- mural contests.” The former debate was decided by vote of nearly 100 un- der graduates. 5 The issue has not been finally de- cided even on the forensic rostrums, however. The victorious teams. will meet again next week to argue the Bubject once more, this time with the freshmen reversing themselves in op- position.
