GRADWELL IS TOO CLEVER FOR MINOR IH 12- Boxing Commissioner Refuses to Allov Cut to Eight Rounds at South Broadway. Harry Sharpens Decisions Willie Gradwell of Newark, N. vs.

Jimmy Minor of Memphis, 12 rounds, weight 135 pounds at 3 p. m. Orad-well the winner on points. Billy Cole vs. Harry Miller, eight rounds at 122 pounds Cole the winner on points.

"yog" Carley vs. Vernon Fessler, six rounds at 118 pounds Curley the winner on points. By Harry S. Sharpe. Battling manfully against odds that he was unable to reduce, Jimmy Minor of Memphis, had to acknowledge Willie Gradwell of Newark.

N. his master at boxing last night before the South Broadway Athletic Club. The odds were speed and cleverness. Before a crowd of about 200 persons the boxers put up one of the best contests seen here In quite a while and the amount which they received was small, indeed, for the splendid exhibition they gave. Either one of them is good enough to give any of our local lightweights a stout argument.

Oradwell and Minor are good boxers and sound punchers, but the former is a better boxer and more of a punisher. He dealt out much of It last night, but Alinor never winced and gave in return what he could. True, Minor did considerable clinching, but it was the speed and merciless attack of Gradwell that made him do it and was his only means of escaping punishment. Minor Forced to Clinch. Had he known any other means of avoiding it he, no doubt, would have adopted it, but his opponent feinted and hit so cleverly and came in so fast that Minor was worked off his feet until he lost his equilibrium and hitting power and became so bewildered that the first law of nature asserted Itself and he sought preservation by clutching the nearest object within reach, which was his opponent.

Whenever Minor was given a chance to steady himself he boxed well, hit hard and did some good work, often landing some stinging punches and smashing swings, but these rallies never lasted very long before the speed and aggressiveness of Gradwell. After the second round It became apparent that Minor would have to score knockout to win unless an accident happened to Gradwell, because the latter was seen to be too fast and clever Tiot to win on points If the bout went the limit. The match was at 135 pounds or less at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at thnt hour Minor weighed just 135, while Gradwell was half a pound appeared fc Tr better condition and It looked as Minor might havi boon nMn to take off a few more pounds aid prnhnMv- would have been better off had he done so. However, both box-e-? wprt1 In rprv rnofl condition. Both in Good Condition.

Just before the bout was called for, the manager of Gradwell, after viewing the slim attendance, wanted the bout cut io eight rounds, but the club de-clinedyto do so and the matter was referred to Secretary Robert W. Hall of the Bpxlng Commission, who was present at the ringside. The official declined to permit It, saying that the agreement called for 12 ro inds. It had been advertised as such, aytrd that It would be unfair to the club nermlt the agreement to be violated. T- boxers then began the contest, and for the entire 12 rounds could have done Via thousand dollars been stipend.

Tt Is doubtful if either one revived one-tenth of that amount Tn the ae-mi-final, eight rounds at rounds, Billy Cole outclassed jirv Miller. The latter stuck on for th eight rounds, but It was n'v sheer strength and a lot of hug-F'x that he managed to do so. Cole Outclasses Miller. "Young" Curley and "Vernon Fessler. two ambitious beginners, appeared In the preliminary, six rounds at 118 pounds, and created some excitement.

Their boxing waa a bit crude, but their efforts were commendable. Curley, the winner, shows promise of becoming quite a good Loxer. Kddie Randall refereed all the bouts in excellent style and was very mcessful in making all the boxers tep promptly out of the clinches, except Miller, and the latter was getting such a drubbing that the only way to have kept him from clinching would have been to disqualify him. which Randall would have been ejLsi- ly Justified In doing. It was announced that a return match between Jimmy Murphy and Jahes White for 12 rounds at lis pounds would take place at the club on Nov.

11. On Nov. 9 White Is scheduled to box Harry Kabakoff 12 rounds at the Coliseum for the Angelica Physical Culture Club. Straight Football Gives Missouri U. Victory Over Oklahoma Sooners.

By John EL Wray. WHEN I first saw Willie Hoppe Via varna ctrt rr aTk Ortl hilT trying to cue a billiard shot which his nine-year old size and reach made practically impossible for him, if executed flat-footed from the floor. His head reached but little above the table and the vast expanse of green cloth must have seemed as large as a pasture his wide-open young eyes.

It was in the Grand Billiard Hall, on Sixth and Pine streets, St. Louis, and the now outstanding cueist of the world was playing- an exhibition match against George Schaefer, son of the proprietor of the hall. He won, perhaps with the connivance of his friendly opponent, but certainly not without having executed some shots that had some of the onlookers pop-eyed. Hoppe was a calm-faced little fellow, with big. deft-blue eyes, silent nearly always, but never sullenly so.

His replies were brief and to the point. His rtgard. when directed at the questioner, fixed. His infantile exrression even then breathed the steadiness, persistence ana cairn Imperturbability which have been the essentials of his temperament since. Today Hoppe is not changed in the least.

His face is lees round and his lower features much heavier in that development commonly supposed to indicate resolution and perseverance. His expression is now mature, but bears the same pleasing reliability of expression, which characterized him as a boy. In short, HopRe, the champion of 'champions, is the logical development from Hoppe the boy. He la an example of the effect of nnflasrsrlns; persistence directed toward the accomplishment of one purpoae, aided by an extraordinary physical and temperamental equipment. Hard Work Hoppe's Secret.

OPPE'S iron nerve and almost su- pernatural billiard skill will oe subjected to another test tomorrow night, when, at Moolah Temple, he wtil begin a 1500-point match for the 18.2 balkline championship of the world This match will be played in blocks of 500 points each night, for three nights. With characteristic preparedness this methodical young champion, now 29 years of age, although a world's title holder for 10 years, moved with his mother to this city several weeks ago and began a campaign for the defend of his laurels. Success in this is Imperative to Willie of the pcaches-and-cream complexion. For. following the present match, Hoppe, with Charles Peterson of St.

L'ouis. "Chick" Wright of San Francisco and Younsr Jake Schaefer son of the famous wizard will inaugurate a winter tour which will extend from roast to coast. Hoppe cleared over $50,000 for himself alone on such a tour last year. But without the glamor of a successful title defense, against Sutton, the gate receipts might be seriously cut down thin time. So Hoppe came here and has daily been worklner out in the private exhibition room of a billiard manufacturing company.

Pav after da he plugs away. INTERESTED In even the drab work of practicing- and, according to professionals helping him snowing improvement over his best xorm. Hoppe. since atartlncr practice here, nna run 3ftl In one Innlns; and hnaj ran out evrral KOO era men in three ahots. There Ia little doubt that he will be In his best form.

Sutton a Workout "Wonder." will have to be, if G. Butler Sut-ton, his opponent tomorrow, brings to Moolah Temple the form he has been displaying in practice matches in Chicago, where he Is a room-keeper. Sutton, too, has run several 500-point games In three shots and recently averaged 113 for 6500 points which is enough' to win from any man, If maintained in competition. Sutton la a different type from Interstate Cue Season to Open Tomorrow Night Bob Cannefax, Only Local Entrant, Will Play Former Champion Charles Ellis. The Interstate Three-Cushion Billiard League will open Its season tomorrow night with three matches.

Bob Cannefax, the only St. Louis player in the race for the honors' this season, will be interested in one of them. He meets Charles Ellis, a former world's champion, in Milwaukee tomorrow night. The first match for the local fan's will be played Nov. 6 at the Rex.

Declaration said that all men are born football team it's his own fault. tVi ol tirivc to ho Rnlrlim rpphi nnwprlpsfl tn tirpvpnt thm from hprnminr Weakness of Sutton, Aside From His Years, Lies in the Fact That He Specializes at the Difficult Style of Play Known as "Balkline Nurse." But when it Is considered that the player who could average points, in Jake Sehaefer's dav. was consid ered a sure world-beater, it will be realized how much ahead of the lves- Schaef er-Slosson-Vignaux period the present title-holder's game seems to be.

Hoppe has been called the Ty Cobb of billiards)" but that really only partly expresses It. Cobb has been surpassed: Hoppe has not yet been approached. He is to billiards what James J. Jeffries, at the height of his fame, was to boxing a man on a pinnacle. At least that the view taken of him before the match.

It remains for Sutton to change it, if he can. i Expert's View of Rivals. 1 ASKED "Chick" Wright, Hoppe's it 1 a vine nortnof ml ah a rt Yt a best balkline men in the country, to describe the playing styles and characteristic of tomorrow night's opponents. Here is his summary: "Sutton is a man of determination don't forget that. This is by his persistent effort to regain the title he lost so many years ago.

He is always hopin-thnt championship conditions will be just to his liking that is to say, warmth of room, condition of enshions. speed of cloth and perfect set of balls. Sutton is so urgent about these features, because he relies on the most difficult of all systems for scoring his big runs the balkline nurse. Sutton is esteemed the preatest player of the "nurse" in the country, although perhaps this is because Hoppe has not seen fit to specialize at anv one form of scoring. Frequently, in practice, Sutton misses only because he becomes physically tired.

"The balkline nurse involves a drive of 18 inches and requires the most expert and delicate work known on a billiard table. "It seema to me that Sutton's blf weakness Is In relying; almost exclusively on a counting system that requires top-notch physical and mental condition, and practically perfect room, cloth and Ivory conditions. Sutton Alters Stroke. "It Is said that Sutton has changed his stroke and Is patterning after Frank Ives. With his ability to play 'inside billiards," which reduces the playing size of the table, this may aid him in making an Improved showing.

Hoppeis as near letter-perfect as a man could be. When you say he has a perfect stroke vou have only said part of It. "Hoppe hits a 10O per cent blow, which means a properly completed stroke and true line of aim. "Hoppe is master of his cue on all sorts of shots. Masses are no more difficult for him than follows or draws.

In ordinary stroking he has a perfect "follow through." He follows no system, but makes points wherever the balls lie. He is not handicapped, as is Sutton, bv the necessity of getting the ivories in a certain position, before he can accumulate a big run. "His errors of Judgment are few and he confines his scoring to no one particular feature. He is equally at home whatever the lie. "Add to this that youth, temperament and the confidence born of success are In his favor and you see that he seems practically invincible." Otherwise They're Equal.

ROM all of which we gather that Hoppe excels Sutton not only in youth, physical stamina and temperament, but in stroke and all-around skill as well. The matches here will be played of course, with new cushions and on new cloths. Hoppe has been practicing, hav ing me cioin cnangea eacti day, to familiarize himself thoroughly with the conditions that will cbtain during the match.

'He is 68 years of age (exactly double Willie's years) and has been In competitive play for many, many seasons. He is also handicapped by excess tonnage. which hampers him on shots where reach Is required. Sutton has held two championships, and simultaneously.
