TAYLOR (Associated Press Sports Writer) Chicago, Feb. 16.—</P)—Billiards now lias its czar like baseball and the movies. The cue wieldcrs’ "Landis” is Dr Ralph 11. Wheeler, well known Chi- cago surgeon, who is president of the National Billiards Association. Under his authority, the associa- tion will take over supervision of all professional billiards matches beginning with the national pocket billiards tournament here March 5-17. The impetus for the new regime in billiards came from the leading pros themselves, 31 of whom signed a petition to the N. B. A. to take away from commercial interests the promotion of professional billiards matches. Stars Head List Welker Cochran, 18.2 billiards champion; Otto Reiselt, three-cush- ion title holder, and Frank Taber- ski, pocket billiards champion, head- ed the list of signers. Tuberski will be first to defend his crown under the new state of affairs, participating in the March competition. The N. B. A. tourna- ment committee, is choosing as his opponents tho ten leading players of the season. Ralph Green- leaf was winner of the title in last year’s tournament and, through challenge matches, Taberski suc- ceeded to the honor. The latter has defended his title twice in chal- lenge matches and faces a tourna- ment for the championship for the first time. According to the petition of the pros, the competitive championship conditions of the past have not al- ways been satisfactory. They say the game has lacked that indepen- dence of action necessary if it is to advance along with other sports, which long ago divorced themselves from commercial dominance and formed their own organizations to act as governing bodies and con- duct the log championship meets. Hopi Indian Runner Enters Pyle Marathon Los Angeles, Feb. 16.—(AP)— Nicholas Quamowahu. Hopi Indian runner, who won the island, N. Y., marathon race last year, was announced tocl>y as an entrant in the cross country marathon which will start from here March 4 with New York the goal. Quamowahu, the only T ndian en- trant thus far, was bom at Raibi, Ariz., and has competed in many long distance races. C. C. Pyle, promoter of the event, has an- nounced prizes of more than .$48,500 for the winners. MAGEE RACK IN MAJORS Sherwood Magee, new National League umpire, first broke into base- ball as a player in 1903. He is now 41 years old. Movies Hurt Eyes George Uhlc, Cleveland pitcher, says he doesn’t attend the movies very often because he thinks they are harmful to his eyes. DOORS WILL OPEN AT 6:45 Capital City Reserves and Mandan Papooses Will Play Preliminary at 7:30 Gloomy is the word that describes the prospects of the Bismarck High Demons repeating their early season triumph over the ancient rivals, Mandan High, in the second meeting that is billed for tomorrow night on the Braves' court. Coach Roy McLeod's basketeers have not yet shown any Rijns of having emerged from the slump of the past three weeks while Coach Leonard McMahan’s quint has never looked better. J. C. Gould, superintenden. of the Mandan* public schools, announced today that extra bleachers had been constructed in the gallery of the high school gym, where the game will be played, and that the teating capacity will b; about 700. The doors willopen at 6:45 p. m„ Mandan time, and the preliminary game between the Bismarck All- Americans and the Mandan Papooses will start promptly at 7:30 p. m. The big game will be called immediately upon the close of the first contest. Great Battle Expected Mandan, flushed with its victory over the classy Jamestown five, and Bismarck, disgruntled with its lack- adaisical showing against Bart Mc- Leod’s clan, nevertheless will forget over-confidence or an inferiority complex and settle down to the greatest cage battle of the season. Past performances bear witness to this fact. Mr. Ruth’s between-seasons avoirdupois is receiving rough treatment at the hands ofth c IJabc and his trainer, Arthur A. McGovern, at McGovern’s New York gymnasium before it goes south for further attention at the Yankees’ Florida camp. Here, leftto right, you see pictured a sparring match between Ruth and McGovern- then Ruth looking very demure in his sweating outfit; and finally a little musele-loosen-ing by McGovern. ffrAManfe Interviews SAMMY 31 ANDELL SAYS; K ¦¦¦¦ I have been ordered to fight one of a list of challengers for my light- weight championship that has been submitted by the National Boxing Association and I have given my ¦ 1 " 1 answer.

(AP) Charley Winter, blonde youth who won the mid-winter Madison Square Garden six-day bike race with Fred- die Spencer as his partner, has signed for the 44th international grind here March 4-10. Tony Beckman, farmer of Secau- cus, N. J., also turned in his con- tract, paired with Gerard Debaets, the Belgian "bearcat.” Beckman won the January six-day race in Chicago and the long jaunt in De- troit last November. If Bismarck plays the game that it is capable of, then it will be an- other sad evening for Morton coun- ty’s prides while continued ragged play on the part of the Demons’ will mean nothing but a Bravo victory. Lineups of both crews will prob- ably be the same as in the first game with the exception that Stephens is likely to face off in Helbling’s place on the McMahan outfit.

Welker Cochran Says He Will Retire Soon St. Moritz, Switzerland, Feb. 16. —(A»)—The Olympic winter sports were resumed today after a day's interruption, Belgium defeating France at hockey 3 to 1. After yesterday’s warm spell, the ice was in fairly good condition since there was a relatively hard frost during the early morning hours. As soon as the sun rose, however, the ice again began to thaw. The scheduled hockey match be- tween Germany and Switzerland started on a rink covered with wa- ter. - The figure skating for W’omen was held between ten and eleven a. m., but th 6 sun was too strong and the event had to be abandoned be- fore the program was completed. Miss Beatrix Loughran of the Unit- ed States made an extremely popu- lar showing. Chicago, Feb. 16.—(AD—Welker Cochrane, former holder of the world’s 18.2 billiard championship, said today that he was on his last tour as a billiard pro. Ho is now playing a 4,000-point series here ¦with Jake Schaefer, who won the title from Cochrane last fall. At the end of his present cam- paign next month, Cochrane said, he expects to join a New York stock exchange firm and retire from bil- liard competition.

The first csteher to handle Johnson's shoots was "Gabby” Street, Walter classes him as tho best catcher he ever had. Next came Eddie Ainsmith, then Muddy Rnel. Johnson used a fast ball al- most entirely when Street handled his delivery end in these days his speed was ter- rific. CONNIE MACK HAS NO INTRODUCTION fOR NEW PLAYERS Trig Speaker and Bing MUlcr Have Displaced Ty Cobb and Zach Wheat By BRIAN BELL (Associated Press Sports Writer) New York, Feb. 16.—(*)—Con- nie Mack, in introducing a 1928 out- field two-thirds made over from that of 1927,< will not be called upon to introduce either of the two new outfielders to the territory they will patrol. Tris Speaker, who will play a short distance behind second base and call it center field, knows all there is to know about the center field terrain of Shibe Park just as he does about every other Ameri- can league field. Bing Miller, coming back to the Athletics to play right field, is real- ly coming home, for most of his major league career has been spent wearing a White Elephant uniform. Miller broke in with Washington but went to the Athletics in 1922 and remained on the outfield staff of Connie Mack until 1926 when he was traded to the St. Louis Browns. Now he is back again, with a bit more bulk but still fast. Simmons Moves Over AI Simmons, sole survivor of the outfield cast, completed by Ty Cobb and Buck Wheat in "The Runner- Up of 1927,” will have to go only a few feet to find his corner. He played center field last season. This year he will move over to left to make room for the gray ball hawk who in spite of his 40 years can travel along with the best outfield- ers in the bup’ness. Simmons hits the ball in spite of his awkward stance and in 1925 hung up a mark of .386. Speaker will prove helpful to the Athletics beyond question. The Texan showed the youngsters how to go back on a fly ball 20 years ago and he is still showing them, old and young, that many a poten- tial extra base hit can be caught if a fielder starts early enough in the right direction. The veteran Speaker, long a friendly enemy of Connie Mack on the ball field and friend and ad- mirer off the battle front, in ex- pressing his pleasure at becoming associated with the cagy Connie, said with a sigh of regret, "I wish I could play alongside Ty one sea- son.” Tris Not Cheap Cobb, however, had to go away before Speaker could come in, for Ty was expensive and Tris is not cheap. Some of tho close observ- es suggested last season wher Cobb was signed by the Athletics that his fading legs would not carry him through another campaign. They were wrong for tho Georgia Peach played regularly until the Athletics had second place cinched and could not go any farther up the ladder. Cobb’s eyes were just as good as ever and ha hit among the leaders. His weakness was on defense. He was not equal to the quick starts outfielders must make for hard-hit balls. Speaker will catch some of the balls Cobb missed, although he is not likely to hit as well as his friend from Georgia. At that he will bat over .300. As Wilbert Robinson said of Cobb, Speaker and Wheat last spring: “These old boys will be able to hit when you have to roll ’em to the plate in wheel chairs.” PULLED UNUSUAL FEAT In the first four innings of a game in the Piedmont League last season, Baxter Jordan, third baseman who now is the property of the New York .Giants, started four double plays.

(JP) —With one titanic rival eliminat- ed from officially recognized compe- tition because it did not conform mechanically to regulations of the American Automobile association, two other racing machines today were tuning up for an attempt to better the world’s speed record. J. White, Philadelphia, yesterday was refused official sanction for a trial against the 203.7 miles per hour gait set up last year by Major H. O. D. Segrave, of England. The governing body barred the machine, A. H. Means, secretary of tho A. A. A. said, because it was not equipped with a dutch, differential or re- verse gear. Will Be Rebuilt Mr. White said last night that after preliminary trials tho machine would be rebuilt to conform to A. A. A. standards. Withdrawal of the White entry, with its 36-cylindcred motor and non-streamline experimental con- struction, left the machines of Frank Lockhart. Indianapolis, and Malcolm Campbell, London, to essay new records during tho present pro- gram of speed events on the beach. They have until next Wednesday to make their efforts. Lockhart’s car, a Stutz “Black- hawk Special,” is a long, low built car powered with a 400 horsepower motor, while the Campbell entry re- lies on a air service motor for its propulsion and is als<> spe- cially designed to offer a minimum of wind resistance.

D., Feb. 16.—A fighting band of basketeers from Hazelton were defeated Tuesday evening by the Napoleon town team on the Napoleon high school court by a score of 33 to 26. The local team headed the Hazelton aggrega- tion at the half 25 to 15. ] Hazelton opened the scoring when Bristol, center, sank a long one from the field, and Kalber, forward, made good on a couple of close tries at the net. With the Emmons county team leading 6 to 0, Ed. Doerr, Na- poleon forward, made it 6 to 3 by a goal from the field and a free throw. Goals in rapid succession by Houser, E. Doerr and A. Doerr put the Bonapartes in the lead, which they retained for the remaind- er of the game. I Ed. Doerr, former U. N. D. eager,' and Mac Houser, forwards, per- formed in a stellar fashion for the Napoleon townsmen, Doerr piling up I a total of eight goals and two free throws, and Houser gathering seven points by three shots from the field and one from the free throw line. The defensive play of A. Doerr and S. Meier, Napoleon guards, was commendable, and Doerr also con- tributed a pair of field goals. For Hazelton, Bristol, who form- erly played center on the James- town college team, and Kalber, for-j ward, looked the best. Although' Bristol was held to two field goals | by the close guarding of the Napo- leons, he was a big factor in the offensive and defensive play of the Hazelton team. This was the second meeting of the two teams, Hazelton taking the first contest by a 32 to 28 score. Tho lineup and summary: Napoleon FG FT T Ed. Doerr, f 8 2 3 P.
