Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
"VTEW YORK. Keb. 15.—One of IN those chips ofi the old block clicked Wednesday night when Young Jake Schaefer won the 18.2 billiard championship of the world by beating Welker Cochran, the Wall Street bond vender, by a score that resembled a sand lot ball game in Sardis. Miss. I mean to say it
HU -f
was way up in the hundreds. Young Jake had a dad who was to billiards what Sir Joseph Duveen is to art and the Smith brothers are to scratchy t hroats, and the son of the old man seems to h ave inherited much of the eldrr's erreat genius. This is rather uncommon in sports. Generally these
Young Jake
chips off the old blocks turn out to be nothing more than quips, which is to sav they are quite comical, indeed. You don’t need to be an addict of billiards, to react rapturously to the kind of show Young Jake puts on when he unseaths his long, slender foil and steps up to the table to start the ball to rolling. a a a He’s as much of a machine at this, business as Bobby Jones is at -oh' or Helen Wills at tennis, only he is more interesting. With him, delicacy and repression form the motif of the play, as contrasted with the smash and crash the machine wonders of golf and tennis use. tt n a l CONSTANTLY UNDER RESTRAINT f.ND ALWAYS KEYED UP TO AN INTENSE NERVOUS CONCENTRATION, HE LEAVES YOU MARVELLING AT HIS EASY, SIMPLE MASTERY. THERE WAS NEVER A MOMENT V?EDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN YOU DIDN’T HAVE THE DISTINCT IMPRESSION THAT YOUNG JAKE COULD HAVE ENDED THE MATCH AT ALMOST ANY TIME HE DESIRED. u it a HE is a tali, slim fellow, in his early thirties. A pair ot cold, steady eyes peer out from a face that is pasty white un<Jer the three drop lights that dangle over the table. Except for a twitching movement about the lips as he stands contemplating a problem his face is as expressionless as a death mask. a an He had two high runs Wednesday night —96 and 169— and during the making of them he might as well have been alone in the big auditorium for all the concern he displayed for his surroundings. He has long, tapering fingers. It is easy to see where his gentle, feathery touch comes from. tt st a YOUNG JAKE in a match with Eric H once ran out from sp* * lich is to say, he scored 400 points and won the game before the German could even get out of his chair. In order to escape a similar embarrassment Hagenlacher has never sat in a chair since during a match with Schaefer. Darned clever, these Germans!

Local Pin Gossip BY LEFTY LEE
Ed Smith, a youngster rolling in the Indianapolis Water Company League at the Indiana alleys, re-
cently, set anew all-time record for this loop, by rolling a 286 score in his third game. Smith had a chance for a perfect 300 score, as he started with ten strikes, but crossed the head pin on his eleventh try, for a sixpin count, and then spared. During the same series, Harvey Fagin, a team-mate

NOTRE DAME BUTLER Jachym F White Crowe F Chandler Colenck C Hildebrand Smith G Hosier Donovan G Bugg A crowd that perhaps will reach ten thousand will mill its way to Forty-ninth street tonight headed for the Butler university field house where the blue and gold clad warriors of old Notre Dame will challenge the basketball supremacy of Butler. The Bulldogs are the only team undefeated in the Indiana collegiate conference and although the locals have lost one game to Chicago they have yet to bow to a Hoosier aggregation. Coach George Koegan and his Notre Dame team arrived Thursday evening and will take the floor in the best of condition, ready for the battle that may develop into one of the most desperate struggles witnessed here this year. The game tonight will start at 8. The Butler freshman team will meet the N. A. G. U. in a curtain-raiser. It was announced this morning that plenty of good seats have been held back and that they will be placed on sale at the field house this evening.

We Give Up! THE time has come for all claimants of trick titles and records to lay down the weapons of war and surrender. Wire reports from Macomb, 111., today detailed the account of a basketball game in an invitational tournament where Pearl City high school defeated Plymouth, II to 10 —and didn’t make a field goal! Pearl City players tossed in eleven free throw's and won the ball game! tt X tt Merely Looking for Trouble Frank NEWSOM and his Columbus Bulldogs today started on a week-end expedition looking for trouble. Tonight the Bulldogs meet Siielbyville at Shelbyville. That contest will provide Newsom’s gang with some data on just what kind of opposition the Mackmen will provide in the regional tournament. The Bulldogs swarmed all over Shelby earlier in the season, but probably will have a much tougher job this evening. Saturday night the Columbus team will invade Indianapolis to meet Shortridge. Ray< Eddy, star Bulldog forward, may not see action in either of the two games because of an injured leg. Columbus’ record to date: Columbus, 38; Seymour, 28. Columbus, 39; Bedford. 56.

Return of Spencer Fixes Indians Behind Bat for New Flag Chase Great Catcher Released Outright to Tribe by Pirates, Giving A. A. Champs Their Old Receiving Power.
With the announcement Thursday night of the return of Roy Spencer to the Indians from Pittsburgh, the catching staff of the A. A. champions is completed for 1929 and owner Perry today turned his attention to other departments, mainly outfield and third base. The fact that Spencer would be back with the Tribe was predicted by The Times in December, when the Steve Swetonic deal with Pittsburgh leaked out during the baseball convention at Toronto. Prefers Indians Spencer prefers regular work behind the bat, and the fact that Pirates regard Hemsley and Hargreaves their best catching bets led Spencer to believe another year with Indianapolis would do more good than irregular employment with Ownie Bush’s big leaguers. Since the sale of Swetonic was made to the Pirates, the Indians now have obtained from that club Outfielder Barnhart, Spencer and a pitcher to be named later. It also is believed Manager Bush will send a third-sacker down here, namely Riconda or Stroner. Release Is Outright Spencer comes back to the Indians with an outright release by the Pirates, official announcement at Pittsburgh saying he was a holdout. Battery men of the Pirates depart for the Paso Robles (Cal.) training camp next Monday. The best two catchers in the American Association last season were Spencer and Rick Ferrell of Columbus, who will be with the St. Louis Browns this year. Spencer

finished with a swat average of .296 and also walloped the sphere hard in the “little world’s series.” Roy’s splendid catching helped the pitchers to a great extent and he was used as often as possible, Florence, last year’s second string receiver, getting very little work. The infielders also had more confidence when Spencer was working, because he always kept close tab on the base runners. In other words he proved a gem for the Indians and was an important factor in bringing the championship to the Hoosier capital. Other catchers on the Tribe 1929 roster are Bob Munn, purchased .from Albany, and John Riddle, recalled from Quincy. The jjob facing the Indians next is to get Spencer’s name on a contract. Ownie Bush, Pirate manager, said today his club couldn’t afford to bother longer with Spencer over his objection to terms. PLAY DOUBLE-HEADER Washington to Meet Masonic Home And Valley Mills Tonight. Washington high school basketball followers are to be treated to a double-header tonight at the Continentals’ gym. The Masonic Home of Franklin will provide the opposition in one game and Valley Mills will play in the other. Coach Roland Jones of Washington divided his squad into two portions and the west siders will strive to tack up a twin victory.
Legion Program for Tuesday Is Nearly Complete With the exception of one more match, Major Greene, boss of the Legion boxing shows, has the card ready for next Tuesday’s show at the Armory. In response to many requests, he says, Greene is bringing back Jackie London of Chicago, who gave Windy Myers of Cincinnati a beating recently. London’s Tuesday opponent will be Jimmy Brown of Cincinnati, and they are scheduled for the eight-round semifinal. In a six-rounder, Young Heebe of Cincinnati will be sent against Young Jess of this city. They are “junior flyweights,” neither weighing more than 105. The battle of “vest pocket” scrappers is expected to provide a feature. In the four-round opener, Casey Jones, local hard puncher, will oppose Billy Evans, another Indianapolis slugger.
