Georg? F. 8Io?ion, th? veteran, de?
feated Joseph Mayer, former national
amateur champion, in the afternoon
game of the professional 18.2 balk line
handicap billiard tournament yester?
day, ?coring hi? total of 875 pointi in

Mosion'i victory ?me ft deserved one

ailmnnt wai particularly troublesome.
? Bo acutely, in fart, did the twinges

: recessary to drive th* ball? aroun?! th?
. table that several timos he found it
? necessary to make the ffj-oke? with his
? cue in hi? loft hand.
The men ?tartod -?lowly, Mayer, who

' from his opponent, holding his lead
? until th? sixteenth Jnhing, when Slos
! ?on, who had clickod off 90 point? in
| the eighth and II and 14 in the fif
. '.rent h and sixteenth sossion?, gained
] a lead of 11 points* The former cham?
pion, In ?coring hi? high run, nursed
, the balls cunningly, failing on hi?
?ixty-fir?t shot, on a one cushion draw.
Mayer came right back in the SOT?
. entonUl, however, putting together a
j total of sixty-six carroms by cl-ver
; talk line play, and only stopping v her.
he failed to drive the object balls
1 sa? of bulk. Slosson again crept up
I on his rival in the next few inir.gs and
| then a run of 38 pointa In the twenty
fourth frame gave him a three point
lead.
From this point on the "Student"
| gradually fattened his average with
several run? of double figure?, a pretty
? luster of 45 carroms in the twenty
ninth inning placing him well in the
lead. .Slosson did his best at the nurs?
ing game, although once or twice, with
'.'no ivories widely separated, he scored
BOneattSnal shots of the three and four
cushion variety. Mayer made hi? last
effort to overcome hi? opponent In the
thirt7*third inning, when ho held the
balls together long enough to gather
33 points, failing on a draw shot from
the side rail.
In the next to the last inning, Slos?
son onlv needed two point? to complete
his string, but, with the balls ?pread
over the baize, the beat he could do
was to add one point to his total.
Mayer again clicked off 7 points be?
fe ro he Failed to kiss on a draw shot,
and then Slosson mad? his final carrom
and von the fame.
Slosson'? victory yesterdav keeps
him ?till in the running for one of the
larger prize*, with the rnoct difficult
I part of his ?chedule hehin 1 him. Mayer,
who has lost tho only three games he
?.'.aye.l, has yet to meet George Sutton '

To Eddie Mahan.
Three years you've fought your way to /ante.
Three years the print* 'nave tung your name?
And now you play your final (jame.
Your fame is fixed?so they will *aj/-?
And yet, for those who leave the play.
How soan the people fades to gray.
First Heston held the all-star fling.
Then Coy and Thorpe had more to ^rtti.ij.
And each ni furn was called The King.
And then across the autumn tone
You fell heir to the all-star throne
And made the royal crown your ottm.
And $o next year aoross the glade
Another heads the long parade
Of "greatest stars that ever played."
But while another eoon may com?
With stuff to keep your boosters mum?
.-t? tVa8f he'll have to Travel Snms.
Ysle will put up a desperate battle against Harvard Saturday, and if th
Yale ?nds and tackles can hold Mahan in check th? Blue may maka an eve
fight of it, as Shevlln's team did in 1010, when Harvard was held to a draw.
But we doubt very much that Yale will have the ends to check Mahar
And th?r? is another point to figur? on?in 1910 Harvard w-es still under th
Yalu sp?ll. That ancient spell was cracked in '.'12 and scattered to th? ?terns
wlndi last fall. Harvard was warnsd by Yale's unexpected strength agslns
Princeton not to he caught off guard. So Harvard will b? preparad whor
Princeton was slipped an unexpected jolt?th? hardest Jolt in th? world t
take.
If Yale can hold Harvard to a low ?cor? on Saturday th? Blu? should hav<
no part of a kick, and extra credit will have to be added to Shevlin's account
For ten days ago it looked aa if Harvard might win by 20 or 25 pointa. No?
Harvsrd'a only*chcnce to win by a big margin is to have Yale blow wide op?ti
as the Blue did in 1012 and again in 1914, when 66 points were totall?<
t-gainst Ell the Dazed.
"Before football exp?rts place Pittsburgh up with Cornell," peni a By
Stander, "hadn't they Just as well wait until Pittsburgh meets Penn. State'
This elevan, though beaten, looked Just as powerful as Harvard and it woulc
not surprise, a lot of folks on the inside to s?e it beat Warrior's team."
Luther Price, the old Princeton star, stands aponsor for the dope that
Haxall, of Princeton, kicked a goal from the 68-yard line against Yale in 18B2
Others deny the distance. lint there some one in th? audience with defwiltt
proof?
No, Ignati, that mournful cadenea issuing from Yale and Princeton is no*
a threnodic dirge being sung because Mahan on Saturday plays his final gam?
Not precisely.
Heavyweight Competition.
In th? last fifteen years the world at large seems to have lost the Imae)
of producing more than one good heavyweight for every half-decade.
From 1900 to 1905 there was no one to even give Jeffries a light debate
Then Jeff retired. He started back again, but never arrived. Johnson ru!e<
from 1910 to 19!? another five-year span ?with no one around to keep him
warmed up.
Whether Willard will carry out a five-year rule remain? to be observed?
but the scout who can discover seme one to heat him within the next year or
two will be on his way to a fortune. The muln drawback being that even thf
keenest scout around the landscape has a hard time discovering gold in a
salt mine.
None of those now floundering as heavyweights seem to have a chnnoe
with Willard. And to go and get a new man will require at least three or
four years of experience. So the Kansas delegate has better than an ev?n
chance to reign as long as Jeff and Johnson did before him.
Some debate originator has opened an argument as to the greatest football
ends that ever played. We have five nominations to make--practlcally on a
par?Hinkey, Shevlin ard Kilpatrick, of Tsls| Campbell, of Harvard, and Snow,
of Michigan.
"Thorpe'? gr?at?st game," ?ays a '"Booster for Eddie Mahan," "was the
one he played at Cambridge and his boosters have but that one game to prove
their claim." On what is quite the contrary, Thorpe played quite a bit better
football against the Army and Penn. than he did against Harvard. And an?
other of his greatest exhibitions was against Brown, where he wag th? ?tar in
beating a powerful Brown eleven 33 to 0.
The Sportive Pendulum.
Ten years ago Yale and Pennsylvania had the best coaching systems in
the East. Yale and Penn. knew more football than any others by 10 or 20
leagues. Their annual diet consisted sf Harvard and Cornell.
To-day Harvard and Cornell have the two best coaching systems In the
East, with Yale and Penn. at the oth?r end of the trail. Sport ig loaded down
with these shifts, showing the fickleness of sportive fortune?showing how
quickly succoss can run to failure and how quickly failure can be turned into
success with the proper method adopted.
Egotism.
No wise man who follo?\s sport for any time should ever carry a touch of
?gotisrn. When men lika Mack and Mctlraw can flniih last?when football
?ystem? like those of Yale and Penn. can go to seed with such swiftness, th?
briefness and fickleness of fame can be understood.
The champion of to-day is only a punching bag for tome one already on
th? way. It is merely a question of how long.
If Messrs. Johnson. Tener and Oilmore have the good of baseball at heart
the b'?st move they can make for the next three or four months will be to
adopt an attitu'!?? that will turn the Splvrix into e chatter box by comparison.
