TWO modem sport stars who have surpassed nearly everything that the great heroes of he past achieved in their respective lines are Ralph Greenleaf, best pocket billiardist of all time, and William (“Torehy”) Peden, most sensational of six-day bike riders. Let’s look at their records. What has Mr. Greenleaf done to entitle him to be rated as the best player in the history of pocket billiards? Well, first of all, he has won the world’s pocket billiards title twelve times—a record unequalled since the sport was organized in IfWl. He has won the last two title tourneys without the loss of a single game, making a streak of twenty consecutive wins in championship play. In last month’s title tourney Ralph missed only eight called balls in nine games. Greenleaf was so completely the master of the situation that the other contenders, Ponzi. Caras. Rudolnh. etc.. iust didn’t have a look-in. The onetime ‘‘boy wonder” of Monmouth,

Two field goals by Blanchard I ] and one each by Ayres and Pottj hast ran St Rose’s score to 19 before Braden tallied a free throw for the Commodores. Ayres I then scored a foul toss and Guyer I (time through with a field goal I and foul goal to make the score 23 to 11. D. Hess hit once from the chari 1 y stripe and Braden i registered his third basket ti.' intake the final score 23-14. St. I Rose. Braden, center, was outstanding! I for the Commodores with eigh* points. his best performance of ■ the season. Five of these points were scored itt the last halt.: Braden was the only Commodore scoring a field goal last night, i The locals foul shooting was again ’ weak, the Commodores converting only eight out of 19 chances from I the foul line. < Guyer led St. Rose scoring wit i t two field goals and as many foul t tosses. Blanchard. Hannan and Potthast each scored five points.

111., is so far ahead of the field in pocket billiards that second place doesn't mean anything. Greenleaf first achieved worldwide fame when at the tender age of twelve he amazed everyone by beating Bennie Allen, who was then champion of the world. Ralph first took up billiards when he was seven years old. Being a frail kid, his parents didn’t want him to stay out after dark, so they made him come into the house every day at six o’clock. Young Greenleaf employed his spare time during the evenings at home practicing at billiards on an old 5 by 10 table belonging to his folks. Night after night the little fellow would be at the old table, sending the balls clicking into the pockets and mastering the intricacies of the game. Within a year he was a pretty good player, and in five years he was able to whip the world’s champion and thus became famous as the “boy wonder of billiards.” Unlike many so-called “boy marvels” Greenleaf didn’t peter out a* he grew older. He continued his 4

phenomenal play, rolling up win after win, until today he stands without a rival—the peerless wonder of the cue world, the Ruth, the Jones, of his sport. As for “Torehy” Peden, the present ace of the six-day bicycle riders, this big flaming-haired giant from \ ancouver, B. C.. has rolled up such a sensational record in his brief career that he already stands out as the most brilliant rider the gruelling bike grind has yet produced. In 1932 he competed in 14 six-day races and won TEN of them; an almost unbelievable record when you consider that Reggie McNamara, most famous of six-day stars, has taken more than twenty years to win a total of sixteen grinds. Barring accidents, Peden should far surpass all previous -notary records. He has already established himself as the greatest sixday rider of the present day. and with a long career in front of hiin he should hang up some remarkable records for posterity to shoot at rtnrniM im « M rwucw Sn»n«t..
