BOXING LURES M'LEAN Hot Sprinys, Ark., March 17.

Physician Says It Will Be

Long Time Before Star Is Able to Play Ball.

Los Angeles, Cal., March 17. That

Billy Sullivan, the Injured catcher f

the White Sox, may never play baseball again was the news given out today by Dr. Sherard, who is attend

ing the athlete. The physician admitted that there was a possibility that blood poisoning might .cause the great catcher to lose his left foot, but said he hoped Sullivan's splendid physical condition would pull him through. "At present there is little danger that amputation will be necessary," said Dr. Sherard. "But It is possible that the left foot will have to come off. We had to take Sullivan to the hospital again today and operate. The Infection i3 the most virulent form of blood poisoning and at present I am unable to say definitely what the outcome of the case will be. We were forced to put in more drains In the wound today. "If Sullivan recovers it will he a long time bef&re he is able to use his foot again, if he ever recovers full use of it. "Were It not for the excellent physical condition of the patient we should be more frightened than we are. The Infection is confined to th,e left foot and leg and will not spread any more."

SMITH" GOES FULL DISTANCE

Manager Duffy Will let Pitchers Extend Themselves From ' Now On.

Bakersfield. CaL, March 17. Duffy and his White Sox dropped off here for few hours yesterday and won a game from the Bakersfield Stars, 8 to 0, and then hurried to Dos Angeles last night. Yesterday's victory made the eighth the first division has won slnce landing on California soli. Incidentally the workout yesterday was even better than that of the day before, for the sun was boiling hot and It made the players perspire good and plenty. Prank Smith pitched the full game and did not feel any ill effects from the exertion. From now on Manager Duay will let his pitchers extend themselves a little more each day. There was a good crowd of fans on hand to see the contest, for it was the first time the Sox had ever visited the plaoe. The local team has three players that are farmed out here by the Vernon team of Los Angeles, and they gave the Sox a good run In their afternoon work. " John Collins was back in the game yesterday with his sprained ankle and all. He was careful of his bad leg, but filled in the hole in center well, and Duly was more pleased than ever over the prospects of getting a good combination out of his squad.

YOUNG TOURS OF JAPS BEMCOBS. 2-0 City Champs Fall for Third Time Before Pitchers New to Uniform.

New Yrleans. March 17. Kid pitch-' ers appearing for the first time in Napoleonic garb yesterday handed those cocky Cubs their third consecutive beating:, this time smearing on the caldminft, 2 to 0. But for the antics of a kindly fate Chance's youngsters would have suffered a no-hit shutout. Until the eighth nary a West Sider could connect. One scratch in the eighth and another in the ninth barely averted this piece of ignominy. Even the dramatic presence of Joe Tinker, fresh from a round of the vaudeville circuit, failed to bolster up the fighting spirits of the juvenile bruins. By annexing the first three games, Cleveland annexes the interleague springtide series, hands down. King Larry was the piece de resistance, clubbing a pair of doubles, each good for one run. In each case. Turner, after stealing second, was boosted on his . way to the main dock ahead of Larry's extra sack wallops. The ponderous Frenchman hit like a bear, also grabbing a single in his four times up. He hopped on Frank Pfeffer's underhand slant in the fourth, getting double No. 1 .chiefly through a freak of fortune, when the ball negotiated a crazy bound in center field. But there was 'no jinx about the second smash. The wonder was Larry didn't Jog to third for the ball never stopped until It collided with the

Hoppe Wrests 184 Title From Sutton, Winning Match, 500-228 Victor Plays Sensational Billiards, While Loser Is Bady Off Form; latter Will Betire.

Three thousand enthusiastic billiard fans crowded Orchestra hall last nig-ht and saw Willie Hoppe of Brooklyn, former protege of Jake Schaefer, hailed ao the "boy wonder," wrest the world's championship at the 18.1 style of balk line from George Sutton of Chicago. The score was: Hoppe, BOO; Sutton, 22S. Incidentally, last night's defeat marks the retirement from championship contests of. Sutton, who has held the 18.1 Inch emblem less than a year. Ill health is assigned. Hoppe demonstrated thoroughly last night that he is a fifth dimension exponent of the game of billiards and right here At is safe to predict that within a year if he maintains his present speed he will be the possessor of

the championship emblems at all styles

of the balk line game. That Is Hoppe's fondest ambition and this morning he leaves for San Francisco, where he goes to bind a match with the winner of the Cutler-Cline contest for the 18.2 championship. By his defeat of Sutton, Hoppe won not only the championship emblem, valued at $500, but he also won a side wager of $500 and the entire gate receipts, approximating $2,500. No records were broken in last night's match but the work of the contestants was of a hair-raising caliber. The spectators were kept in a constant

state of tension, as apparently impos

sible shots were executed with the utmost sang froid. Sutton was clearly out of form and

most of the honors by way of demonstrating the infinite possibilities of billiards fell to Hoppe. Sutton, however, showed rare skill In manipulation and execution at times. Sutton lost the bank for first shot. Hoppe missed by a hair and Sutton opened up with an uninteresting twenty. Hoppe replied with three and lost the balls on the balk rule. Sutton then reeled oft thirty in which he displayed great nursing technique. Bad breaks which continued to be Hoppe's mlsfortue In the first six Innings, when the score stood Sutton 96, Hoppe 20, changed over and elected Sutton as the victim. In the seventh, ninth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth Innings Hoppe's runs were in two figures. Sutton, meantime, was in misery. At the end of the twenty-first inning the victor was evident, as the score stood: Hoppe, 315; Sutton, 190. Hoppe ran cut in the thirtieth inning with an average of 16 2-3. Sutton's total was 22 8 and his average was 7 25-29. Sutton's high run was 31 In the second inning; Hoppe's 61 in the twenty-

first inning. Score by Innings: Hoppe 0. 3. 11. 1, 4. 1, 29. 0, 31, 1, 25, 32, 30, 3, 14, 21, 1, 3, 10, 28, 61, 11, 34. 57. 1, 16, 45. 1, 18, 2 500. High runs 61, 57, 45. Average 16 2-3. Sutton 20, 31. 15, 0, 23 7, 22, 6, 0, 0, 9, 2, 1, 0, 0, 8 0, 3, 11, 28. 4, 5, 20, 3, -2, 1, 1, 3, 3 228. High runs 31, 28, 23. Average 7 25-29. ; Officials Edward Semple, Minnea-

LANGFORD CHOICE FOR FLY1 BOUT TO-DAY

Colored Boxer Will Start 45-Round Go a 10 to 4 Favorite.

Los Angeles, March 17. This afternoon at McCarey's arena Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, and Sam Langford will start out on a forty-five round pugilistic journy. It will be the third meeting between the pair. "When they first hooked up in San Francisco, Dee. 1. 1908, Flynn was outed so quickly that it didn't look as if there would ever be any occasion to talk about a return engagement. They met for a second time In this city last month, and to the evident surprise of the local sports Flynn practically turned the tables on his negro adversary. It was In the measure of

a case of chickens coming home to roost, for Flynn did not receive any particular creilit for the performance away from Los Angeles. In San Francisco, particularly, where it was felt that Flynn d'd not remain in the ring any longer than necessary during" the fight in that city, the suspicion prevailed that Langford did not extend himself In the Los Angeles affair. For today's contest Langford is a strong favorite and it is believed that 10 to 4 will be offered against the fireman before the men go into the ring. On the face of it it appears strange that the sports, after seeing Flynn hammer Langford to a standstill In ten rounds, should allow the Pueblo fireman to go into today's affair virtually unsupported.

He will wind up his heatrical work In Chicago beginning a week at the Alhambra March 27.
