Riley Loses in Cue Clash

INDIANAPOLIS, March 28.—William Riley dropped from the perfect percentage column in the state championship pocket billiard tournament at the "Denison parlor last night, when he lost to Benjamin in a hard-fought battle, 3 00 to 85. The game was long drawn out, with both players resorting to "safety" play frequently. I On one occasion, following two intentional scratches on the part of Benjamin, he lost all the balls on the table, 'eleven in all, by making a third unintentional scratch. The match lasted almost three hours and was witnessed -by the largest crowd of the present tournev. Anderson, who holds a perfect percentage, is slated to meet Rush in tonight's game.

Cold Drives Irish Squad Into the Gym

NOTRE DAME, Ind., March 23.—Cold weather drove the Notre Dame baseball squad Into the gymnasium for the daily workout yesterday and this morning, but It is expected that this afternoon the usual out of doors practice will take placc. Coach Harper is working the squad slowly for fear of sore arms and "Charley horses." The pitching squad contains much promising material and there is no doubt as to that department of the varsity team being stronger than a year ago. rOf course, there will not be the equal of "Moke" Kelly, but instead of having one man to stand the brunt of the work, lucre will be at least three men above the average of college twirlers. Of the nine men who are running a neck and neck race for the mound. Sheehan, jtSergar and Wells were with the team last year. Of the new men, BolaJid. Fitzgerald and Cassldy, a sensational hlgn school pitcher from South Bend, are expected to make the varsity.

Coach Rockne is now working only the distance men In preparation for the A. A. U. meet, being well satisfied witii the dash men.

GIBBONS AGREES TO BATTLE JACK DILLON

Phantom Will Meet MoGoorty April 26 and Then Take On Hoosier Bearoat.

CHICAGO, March 83.—-Unless Mike Gibbons changes his mind some time today he will have completed arrangements for two important bouts before drakness sets In. The St. Paul phantom, who Is performing at a looal theatre, Inst nlsfht stated thnt lie practically had decided .to fight Kddie McGoorty before the Cream City Athletic club of Milwaukee, then, after that battle, to exchange punches with Jack 1)1.1 Ion, of Indianapolis, at Hudson. Wis.

That makes two tough arguments for Gibbons, but he figures that these bouts. If arranged in this order, will prove big drawing cards, and thereby give him a chance to enlarge his bank account materially. From Gibbons' talk ic would appear that a meeting with Freddie Gilmore in tho near future is out of the question.

Audrcwa After

Tom Andrews, the brewery city promoter, was In the city bright and early yesterday for the express purpose of signing Gibbons for a battle with oome good middleweight for his next show. Andrews was unxious to arrange a bout before leaving for Havana, Cuba, on Wednesday to attend the Jack Johnson-Jess Willard Dout to be Bta«ed on April 4. He met Gibbons in the afterncon, and before he departed for Milwaukee gave out the information that the phajitom wanted a night to sleep over things before deciding to accept any marches.

It was Andrews' plan to send Gibbons against either McGoorty or Dillon. but Miko possesses the idoa that McGoorty would be the bettef drawing card for Milwaukee, while a bout with Dillon later at Hudso-n would attract the shekels 'In bunches. He bases his argument on the fact that tho recent bout between Dillon and "Gunboat" Smith failed to draw' In the brewery city.

McGoorty Seeks Rertnec. In view of this it is pretty certain that Mike in his answer to Andrews today will tell him to go ahead and arrange the Gibbons-McGoorty bout for next month. The bout probably will be held April 26. Then it will be up to Mike Coliins, of Hudscn, to offer terms for the Gibbons-Dillon ruixup.

There won't be any difficulty in getting McGoorty to fight Gibbons, for the Oshko.sh boy IS anxious to reverse the trimming he received when he tackled the phantom at Hudson on Msrch 2. McGoorty is resting- in Chicago at present, waiting for matches to turn" up.

Jack Dillon will give the northwest fans a chance to see him perform on April In a telegram irom Minneapolis yesterday, announcement was made of the matching of Dillon and Billy 'Murray, of San Francisco, for that date. Mike Collins will'stage the contest.

Chip Holds Clabhy Even

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., March 28.— Jimmy Clabbv, of Hammond, Ind., and George Chip, of Newcastle, Pa*, fought six rounds to a draw hero last night.

PATSY McMAHON SCORES K. 0.

NAfeHVTLLE, Tenn., March 23.—Kid Diamond, of Memphis, was knocked out last night in the first few seconds of the second round by Patsy McMahon, a featherweight, cf Indianapolis. The bout was scheduled to go eight rounds. In the flrt't round Diamond rushed his opponent like a real fighter, but after McMahon sent a couplo of stiff rights to his face the Memphis boy began the lu'prging stunt.

In the second round Diamond rushed at his adversary and tried infighting, tut weakened. After a few minutes the referee separated them and Patsy sent a hard blow to the Kid's face, sending him sprawling to the floor.

PINS DROP FREELY IN STRUGGLE AT PEORIA

NEW LEADERS SHOW

Cook of Philadelphia Shoots 897 In Singles—Allen Boys Get 1,297 In Doubles.

PIOOTUA, 111., March 23.—Only twice in the history of the. American Bowling congress has a contestant In the singles exceeded the 697. mark, with which Walter Cook of Philadelphia is leading today In the present tournament In 1910 Haley of Detroit dl 1 better, with 706, Riid in 1908 Wenglcr of Chicago rolled 699. I-Ioboken, Trenton, Cleveland, Columbus, Ijoulsvllle, Utilontown and Toledo teams compete today. Five-man teams will aim at the new high score of 2,907, made today by the Barry-Ketteler team of Chicago.

PEORIA, 111., March 23.—Pine toppl»d faster today lii the American Bowl'ng congress tournament than they have ever done before in the big meet. The two bids Chicago had for national titles were wlpel out as a result. Tlic new loaders are Walter Cook of Philadelphia, who ran into the lead in the singles with 697, and Raymond an«l Harold Allen of Detroit, who are high In the doubles with 1,29T.

The Bucktalls of South Bend still top the fives With 2,847, while Spalding of Taylorville was not disturbed In the all events, where his 1,848 Is still high.

All the new leaders earned their way Into the headlines by brilliant work. Cook, who Is a member of the Philadelphia Tigers, had his only error in the llrst game, when he picked a cherry and followed with a railroad. He went clean the rest of the way and had 27!) in tho middle, where a spare stopped him from beating Vic Davis' record.

The two Aliens showed a wonderfully Bteady series, with 233 as high and 2"3 for low. Raymond's only errors came in the second game, while Harold missed In the last game while working on a double. Both of the boys are new at the game but displayed great nerve.

Fred Memple, the St Paul star, held the temporary lead In the 3lngles for one shift with 676. His was the steadiest big series ever rolled, games of 224, 228 and 225 being turned In. Seven men beat 200 during the day.

Great Field Lined Up For Turf Classic

L/OUISVI-LLiE, Ky„ March 23.—In the early years of the Kentucky derby, the entries were made when the colts, tillies and seldings were yearlings. In 1912. for the first time, entries were received when the eligibles were 3-year-olds. and that season twentyseven horses were named.- In 1913, the entries totaled only thirty-two, and last year, when $10,000 was added, the entries numbered only forty-seven. Th|s yeaf they have reached the hnge total of sixty-eight.

This Insures that the event will be the richest Kentucky derby in the long history of the groat race, which was flr3t run in 1875 and has since enjoyed an annual unbroken record.

The advantages of closing entries after the eligibles have entered their 3-ycar-old form is that it insures that every colt, Ally or gelding that on 2-year-old racing appears to be anything like a derby oro&pect can thus enter the stake. LTnder the old system the real crack of the spring racing season among- 3-year-olds often was not engaged a3 a yearling and could not wear colors in the race.

In looking ever the array of entries It would be difficult to name a. single absentee that shined bright in the 2-year-old division of 1914. The winners of all the biar kindergarten stakes are in line and for the first tin-.e since the days of Proctor Knott a futurity winner of the east, Trojan, is engaged. Whitrev is. represented in the great race this season, he having named his pair of cracks, the champion filly, Regret, winner of ths Saratoga Special, Sanfoid Memorial and Hopeful stakes.
