By William Abbott. ALPH GREENLEAF of Wil-! mington, defending champion, finished with a twenty-four- | point Jead over Arthur Woods of Minneapolis in the first of three nights’ competition for the national pocket billiard title at the Hotel As- tor. ‘The scoro was Greonleat, 157; Woods, 133. The tournament is for 450 points, 150 each night. Greenleaf's final run was made while most of the spectators crowded around the tablo with the supporters of Woods mut- tering harsh things about the treat- ment of a visitor In this big city. Woods figured his opponent would stop at 150, Instead the young champion continued to click the balla off the table after the Westerner pro- tested when Referee Keogh failed to call Greenleaf's shots, After a gen- eral conference of officials Gieenleat was given the seven extra ints, which represented his final tnolag The match was held in the grand ballroom of the Astor. James Gordon Battle, in an introductory speech, said there are nearly a quarter million billiard and pool players in New York, and that the cue game hus be- come a major sport. The champion- ship mageh sure has a big league set- ting with gilded chairs and most of the spectators in evening dress. Both Players Are Cautious. There were few really brilliant shots. Both young stars were cau- tlous, especially Greenleaf, who per- formed below his usual brilliant form, E Copyrigit, 1921 (Tae New York kivening World) by The Press Publishing Co. Peck SAYS STUNNED HE ELMER Suir oF CLEVELAND SWAPPED FOR “STUFFY” MSINNIS REFUSES YO BE DEMOTED TO BOSTON REAL REASON Wh PCGK ‘There were numerous opportunith but toward the end it was Greonl who rallied and made the best use of the openings. Arthur Woods, runner-up to Green- leaf in several big meets, proved to ‘be & aquare-jawed youth who wasn't afraid to take chances. He made most of the risky shots, usually dif- ficult combinations that took nerve and clever execution. ‘The Westerner’s position play was sepenially effective. Time and again he manocuvred into place for smush shots that never failed to draw _up- jause from the critical gallery. eree Keogh called a foul on Greenleaf in the twelfth inning, This seemed to upset the champion, who became timid and nervous, But when the big mo- ment arrived Greenleaf elected to try @ long combination shot and this proved the turning point. Greenleaf started strongly, gaining @ lead of 40 to 2, Then the Fates sud gealy shifted and decided to see what Mr, Woods could do, Hite 0 Westerner overhauled Green- leaf, a run of 42, the highest of the contest, helping a great deal, From the twelfth to the twonty- seventh inning Greenleaf made only ten points. leanwhile Woods did about ull the shooting. His control was beautiful. Frequently the chal- lenger would appear to be tied up, but each time he escaped with a clever combination shot. Woods, battling against luck that was none too kind, by up to 125 before Greenleaf reached century mark. Attempting o hard side-pocket shot, Woods missed and left the balls val scattered, al~ though Greanleaf was down at the far end of the table close to the cushion. Greenleaf Proves His Mettle. It was here the twenty-two-year- old champion showed his mettle when he successfully played a long com- bination. After giving Woods his chance the Fates then smiled on Greenleaf, He accepted the invita. tion, Playing with somewhat of a softer stroke than Woods, the cham- pion managed to keep the balls at one end and seldom had to make a long shot, Gaining his stride, Greenleaf Tan 23 in the twenty-eighth inning and followed this with 20 in the next inning. He then passed Woods and waa never headed again. At the finish it was Greenleaf who showed the best form while Woods gradually began to lose confidence. Py ae pocket billiards are ed over @ regulation ten by five tab , but the ts are one-quarter os inch smaller than the average table. The tournament at the Astor is under new rules, which make the ref- eree call all shots as well as fouls, which tends to speed up the play, Greenleaf isn’t likely to lose bis title, judging from the results of the first night's showing. i Rule in Boxing In what may be considered @ further carrying out of the provisions of all than the mere swapping of a job lot of players and guess who got the worst of it. other old timers does not bear out the quickly formed impression that the Red Scx got a trimming. from it. would not bave traded Peckinpaugn alone for the whole lot of Bostonians.

In view of the fact that the Red Sox got much the edge in the Peckin- paugh-Scott transfer, it was neces- sary for Hughey Duffy to make good with something else. He chucked in Joe Bush and Sam Jones for Jack Quinn, Piercy and Rip Collins. To my way of thinking, that made it about even. Bullet Joe Bush has been around With Roger Around. By Bozeman Bulger.
