ADOPTION of a 163-game schedule for 1923, with the season opening April -18 and closing September 23, constituted the chief business transacted today at the opening of the International League's an WILLIE IIOri'E, world's balk line billiard champion, won both afternoon and night blork of his match with Charles Peterson, trick hot artist from St. Louis, in their exhibition play, now under way at the Hudson Parlors. The score of the pfternoon block was not so close, as the final figures showsed IIop)e 3M1 ioints and Peterson 139. In the evening, the Western star was joining better and the count in this block was Hoppe, 300 points, Peterson 249. In the afternoon Hoppe was very slow in getting (started and a6 usual he would take no chances.

Time and again he played the safe fcame. For the first four innings, Peterson was loading by a good score. He did not make any wonderful runs but was playing steady billiards and at-the end of the fourth inning the score had Peterson 91 to 21 for the champion. It was here Hoppe got under way. He got the balls together and clicked I llH 1 I 3 far f- F'l "4 7 r- k.

Ted Cross and other charities OU IiOGASII, a fistic viking of I invaded the Arena last night and departed for his home in the Nutmeg States with the scalp of Tommy Loughran gangling from his war armor. Iiogash defeated Tom- asso tastily, niftily and decisively in eight rounds in a fight that was as lov, dull and uninteresting as if it had been wished on the spectators by grouchy bird who hated the world. Iiogash did not have to extend himself greatly to best our handsome ioting battler.

lie only had to per mit Loughran to do that little thing lor himself, and 1 nomas did it witn- out anybody wanting a recount. Loughran made 157 pounds for this t-orap, and making this weight tommy left all his lighting skill downtown, lie had no snap in his punches, no kick in his spring to his footwork and his judgment of distance was ter rible, lie started away like a race horse, and won the first round. After that he was among those present, tak ing a plastering such as nobody has wantonly inflicted on the South Phila delphia gladiator since nrst he began to dream that his feet would tread the championship trail. Iiogash is built on the comfortable if not speedy lines of a motortruck, and if he could break a pledge with his mitts he would have placed the lanky Thomas on the floor for the count before the ighth round ended. Loughran was a woeful disappointment, and apparently had one of those nights when every thing he tried went wrong and when he had little left.

He looked like a preliminary w-rapper instead of one who fain would wear the crown of mid dloweight champion, and Bogash had a very delightful evening, escaping with no bruises and winning the decision. Another bird who received the surprise -of his belligerent young life was Mister bailor Friedman, the fighting mariner from Chicago. Young Pete Latzo, of Hazleton, was the chap who furnished the fireworks for the battling tar and he gave the westerner the licking of his life. Latzo was all over Friedman like a rash, knocked him hither and yon about the ring and made the Hailor Boy like it. Friedman won a solitary round out of the encounter, and when Latzo found that he could pummel his Western foe.

lie fought like a champion and had all the better of the dispute from bell to bell. Clever Johnny Brown, the English whirlwind, was another of the fisticuff-ians who was away off color last night, find lie had his hands full to whip Lew McFarland, a tearing tighter from the Golden Slope. The Californian knew little about boxing, but was willing and aggressive and while Mister Brown loafed mid loitered with a smile on his i-lassic map. McFarland toiled and spun around the ring and piled up a fair lead in the opening stanzas. In fact the fight was a draw until the last round when Brown lost the hookworm and fought like himself, winning by a scant margin.

Two fistic tidbits, Patsy. "Wallace, of 1his city, and Joe Colletti. of Perth Am-boy, had the best bout of the night. Colletti was for too clever for the indomitable Patsy, and had a scheme that had Patrick buffaloed from start to linish. Wallace managed occasionally to work his foe into close quarters, when the local battler had all the better of the argument.

Colletti elected to box Patsy most of the time, and thus achieved a victory. Sammy Blackiston. former amateur champion, lost his first, professional fight when another fighting Iiogash. l'atsy by name, managed trim Samuel by a brief but telling margin. This fight was the curtain raiser and was one of the real scraps of the night.

ThN announcement was made last nieht by tieorse V. Foley, who has charge of the coming show. The selection of Mr. Bennung should pa ithe way for a b'g entry.

It will be recalled that the last time this local expert donned the ermine at an A. K. ('. show in this cit.v wns at the Inst annual specialty show held hv the Philadelphia Boston Terrier Club. On that Occasion dospite the fact that lie was greeted with a big entry his decisions seemed to meei with approval from the exhibitors and those who took more than passing iutereH in the judging.

As recently as last Wednesday night, this same Mister Beniniug created a sensation when he selected rawford King Flash fot-the bet Boston terrier In the West Philadel Phia Kennel Club's all-breed show. This Flash that nlstit defeated, among other. (Jeorue Mctelski's Tlighway King, the young ster which has done considerable winning on the circuit. The decision, however, was vigorously applauded which indicates that this expert can pick 'ein out. With Bennung dowu to jump the woolsack this should encourage local fanciers to support the lancaster show, thereby eliminating to some extent the opinion in certnln Quarters that local Boston terrier fanciers fail to brine out their stock even under local judges at out-01-towu au-Dreea exninitions.

Peabody 6-Ca Inc Makers, TUESDAY NITE 20TH CENTURY BOXING FIVE ALL-STAR RATTLING BOUTS Benny Bass vs. Caddy Demarco Adm. 85a A- SI .10. Lots ef Thrills a 35 each battering ram, has received the greatest bxyior which his mates can bestow upon him. He was yesterday elected captain of the University of Pennsyl vania football eleven for 1023.

Ilamer is a full-back, and a good one. too. He was rated by Dr. It. Tait Mc- Kenzie, head of the department of physical education at Penn, as the greatest natural athlete now at the University.

He has an almost perfect physique, according to experts in that direction. During the season just closed. Coaeh Heisman is credited with having given the following tribute to Hamer wonderful playing ability: "tlive me one good end and Hamer and 1 will nave a football team. Be that as it may, Hamer was a real star on the eleven during the llrl'Z pea son. liut more than that he was popu lar with the players.

He had a slight mar gin in this direction over Johnny Dern the big far-Western centre on the team, and over Kill Kelly, the other aspirant for the 10b. Dern was the favorite in football circles, and the selection of Hamer over Dern came as a surprise to many. But backers ot rotn said that each was equally fitted for the position, and the selection of either would not be a elap for the other. It was unofficially stated that Hamer received sever! votes on the first ballot, against six lor Dern, and five for Keiiy On the second ballot, it is said that Dern moved to make the vote unanimous, according to precedent in Tenn "football circles, and that as a result. Hamer goes into the job with the unanimous support of bis pals.

Ernest A. Hamer came to the University of Pennsylvania ii 1020 from his home in San Antonio, Tex. He attended the San Antonio Academy and was oneof the bright stars on its football team In fact, so well did he play that he had a reputation all over the South. He entered the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce two years ago. He was out of school for a time and hence there was some problem in the fall of 1021 as to whether or not he would be eligible to play on the Quaker eleven.

A compromise was finally hit upon, and he was declared eligible in the middle of the season. Thereafter he played a wonderful game. All fall this year he has been the mainstay of the team. In fact, his great playing both on offense and defense has played a big part in the successful pea son which the Red and Blue has just completed. He has been exceptionally game in all sorts of conditions, standing up and continuing to play after rather serious iniuries.

He handled all of the punting for the Quakers this year, and did it well on the whole. Onlv once did his toe fail bim. and that waa in the Penn-Pitt lame. He lost a goal after touchdown, and as a result Pitt won by the score of 7-0. However, a week later it was bv the martrin of Hamer goal alter touchdown that Penn spanked State by the same margin.

7-u. Hamer is not yet 21 years of age, but is one of the biggest men on the sauad actually. He stands 6 feet 1 inch. weighs 100 pounds, and is solid as a steer. He is a member of the Phi Kappa Beta Junior Society, and of the Sigma Alrtha Ensilon 1 raternitv.

The election of captain took place just before the squad of 18 letter men posed for the annual football picture on Franklin Field, shortly after noon yes terday. By his election, Hamer will sit on the new Football Committee in place of his predecessor. Jonathan Miller. The committee holds its first session on Thursday afternoon, at which time the question of coach for 1023 will come up. It is haroly liKely that the coaching question will be Uc cided at that time however.

The University Council on Aihle tics holds the final say in all such matters. It meets on Friday afternoon, and will consider the coaching question. As there is a mass of detailed business to be handled, it is not unlikely that the whole coaching question will go over until the first meeting in 1023. "MEDS" TO PLAY FOOTBALL ON FRANKLIN FIELD TODAY Interclass football will pass from the rIm of theory, hope and wish, to the solid ground of reality at Penn today, when the tirxt such clash will be (staged on Franklin Field. The first year men in the Medical School will face a combined team from the three upcr classes In that -department.

It is expected that the game will produce some good football, for there are quite a few men in that professional department wfc'j have had much football experience, either at Penn or elsewhere. The game is scheduled to start at 2.30 o'clock. Many of the players on the rival teams were on th field yesterday for a drill, although late classes made it impossible for all to be on hand for the signal work. Still the men have been working together for some time in preparation for the battle, and real team work will not be lacking. NORTHWEST CHURCH ASSOCIATION In the Northwest Church Association, last night.

First Dutch defeated Falls Fresbyterian in a fast game bv the score of to 24. The half-time score was 15 to 12 in favor of First Dutch. Bethlehem forfeited to Christ Church last night for failing to put a full team on the floor. ST. PETER'S DROPS IMMACULATE St.

Eddie Wagner Loses Bout With Bernstein NEW YORK.

Dec. 11. Bernstein. Yonkers, candidate for the lightweight honors, added to his almost continuous strina- of victories by defeating Eddie Wanner, a Phila- delphlun of excellent repute, in a fast ten- omid -lKut tontKht lu Madison Nduare Uaruen. Bernstein outclassed his opponent in all rounds but one.

The Yonkers man was the aggres sor from start to ilnixh. landed the most ef- fectiveblows blocked a majority or the hard shots that Wa.zner sent at him and had his man qunite weary in the closing rounds of the content. In on particular Wagner was superior to the Yonkers' deletcate. The Quaker has perfected a defense somewhat similar to the style of Young Grlffo. when the Australian was at his best.

Wagner frequently during the bout stood still in his tracks ami by shifting his head from side to side baffled the efforts of Bernstein to hit him. However, the man from Philadelphia got decidedly the worst of it when they fought in close auar-ters.

Born on Coast In 1877 Chance was born in Fresno, in 1877. He was catcher of the team at Washington College, Irvington, in 1893-4-5. when he decided, against the wishes of his family, to become a professional player, signing with a semi-pro club at Sullivan, 111., at a salary of 540 monthly for his first venture. Later he returned to the coast and attracted the attention of major league scouts when playing in an elimination championship tournament among coast teams. He received offers from Chicago, Baltimore and New York clubs, and finally chose Chicago, joining th Cubs on the spring traiuicg trip in 1895 as a catcher.

"1 nual meeting. It was understood this schedule was adopted after clubs in the Southern half of the circuit had advocated shortening the season to 154 games. The past season was on a 168-game basis. The club owners appointed a schedule committee, composed of John Conway Toole, president of the league; S. L.

Robertson, president of the Buffalo Club. This committee will meet in February to frame schedule details. Opening games. with the four Northern club playing in rival territory, were fixed as follows: Buffalo at Reading, Rochester at Newark, Toronto at Jersey City, and Syracuse at Baltimore. This schedule will be reversed on the first swing around the other part of the circuit.

A threatened attempt by certain club owners to force the hand of Jack Dunn. Baltimore owner, in connection with his agreement, made last June, to dispose of three of the Oriole stars who had helped the club make a run away race of the pennant contest for several seasons, failed to materialize at today meeting, according to President Toole. Mr. Toole added that he con sidered it improbable that any such at tempt would be made when the mag nates convene again at 11 A. M.

tomor row for their final session. Understood to have been sponsored by Walter E. Hapgood, part owner of the Rochester club, this move was said to have been aimed at drawing from Dunn a dennite explanation of his in tentions. It was pointed out, however, that the Baltimore ownfr already has complied with part of hh, agreement by disposing of Jack Bentley, star pitcher and nrst baseman, to the ISew Xork Giants, and that he would have until the opening of the 1922 season to sell or exchange other stars, including prob ably Joe Boley, shortstop; Max Bishop, second base, and Jack Ogden or "Lefty Groves, pitchers. He has received a number of offers for one or more of these players from both American and National League clubs.

In declaring the draft a dead issue so far as the International League was concerned. President Toole revealed that several other minor leagues planned to seek exemption from the selective, which in addition to the Inter national, is not recognized by the American Association, Pacific Coast. Western or Three-Eye Leagues. He mentioned the Eastern League and Southern Association, both Class circuits, as among the leaders in the new "in surgent move. hile the present seven-vear asrree ment between the majors and minors.

President Toole expressed it as his unofficial opinion that a loophole existed tor rurther exemptions. J. he terms of the agreement Dro- vided that any league not desirine to accept the draft should serve notice to Commissioner K. M.

Landis on or be fore February 15, 1921. in default of which notice they would be regarded as naving accepted the principle. The date of notification, however, from the major league viewpoint a Tear aeo. Mr. xooie said, was considered to mean February lo of any rear durins the agreement's existence.

Time. 90 minute halves. 5 A The success of the Yankees became so pronounced that they became serious rivals of the Giants and fcstoneham, MeGraw and McQuad intimated that they would be glad to have them vacate the Polo Grounds as soon as convenient. Ruppert and Huston retorted by building a new baseball park, the stands of which Avill seat something like 78,000. This park will be readv for the opening season of 192:.

The plans were drawn ana tne construction started under the personal supervision of Colonel Huston, who is an engineer by profession. The lankee park will be the largest park in the world. Entitled to a Rest "I think I am entitled to a rest," said Colonel Huston, the business of baseball is commencing to tire me a bit, though, of course, I shall always love and follow the game. When we took the Yankees they were nothing much. They were losing money.

think that I can take a little pardonable pride in what we have accomplished. We have built up the Yankees and in some measure I think that we have built up baseball. If I leave the Yankees as I intend to do, I will leave them a championship team with a ball park of their own. They had no ball park and no championship earmarks when we bought them." There is no doubt that, the personal popularity of Colonel Huston was considerably of an asset to the Yankees. Ordinarily baseball owners are not a picturesque crowd.

Colonel Huston was about the most generally popular among them. With Colonel Ruppert, Colonel Huston fought Ban Johnson and the old regime of Organized Baseball and was one of those responsible for the elevation of Judge K. M. Landis to the place of arbiter of baseball. Colonel Huston refused to name any of the people from whom he had offers, but one of them is said to be John Ringling, the circus man, who is now associated with Tex Rickard in the management of Madison Square Garden.

The most interesting rumor of all is one associated with the report of Stoneham selling his interest in the Giants. This is to the effect that Colonel Huston is preparing to sell his interest in the Yankees in order to buy an interest in the Giants with John Joseph MeGraw as a partner.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11. COLOXEL TILLINGIIAST L'HOM-MEDIEU IIUSTON, half owner of the Yankees, announced tonight that he was considering the sale of his half interest in the New York American League baseball club. Colonel Huston has had several offers, but announced that he would give Colonel Jacob Ruppert the first chance to buy his share and to become sole owner of the New York Yankees Colonel Ruppert has been informed of the other offers and has announced that he probably will buy Colonel Huston's shares in the ball club.

When the announcement of the plans for the new Yankee baseball park was given out uoionel Kuppeit ap praised the Yankee baseball ohih. in cmaing lae piayers, its iranchise and baseball nark at $3,000,000. Colonel Huston declines to say how much was offered or how much he would take for his shares, but it is hardly probable that he would consider anything short of a minion. The announcement that Colonel ITns ton is about to sell his interests in the Yankees follows the rumor that Charles A.

Stonebam was nrenarinir to nnlonri mi noiuiiigs in me iew lorK giants with Harry Hempstead, former president of the Giants, the prospective purchaser. A champion rumor wag one to the effect that James Gaffnev. former owner oi tne is proposing to buy back that club. Huston Gives Out News The announcement of Colonel Hus ton's intention of selling out was made at a meeting of the Unknown Soldier i-ost, eterans of Foreign Wars, which was founded by Colonel Huston. In a written statement, the colonel said: "I nave bad oners for the sale of my half-interest in the Yankees from several sources, i have told Colonel Ruppert of this and he also made me nn offer Negotiations are in the extreme embryonic stage and nothing whatever may eventuate.

Despite the vagueness of the written statement, Colonel Huston made it quite clear that he intended to sell out and to quit baseball. The Colonel was one of the most picturesque of the baseball magnates. He wr.s known from coast to coast as the man with the iron hat. because when he boucht into basehnll he collected some baseball superstitions. One of these was the firm conviction that the wearing of a derby durine the summer months helped the Yankees to win baseball games.

Consequently the Colonel used to sit brooding under an "iron nat when all of the fans were wearing straw. Colonel Huston denied that he ever had any serious disagreement with his partner in the ownership of the Yankees, Colonel Jacob Ruppert. but it is known that the two colonels never could agree as to the ability of Miller Huggins as a manager. ine appointment of Huggins was made while Colonel Huston was in France, serving with the Sixteenth Engineers and against the wishes of Huston. When Ruppert and Huston bought the Yankees the purchase caused a little wave of derision in sporting circles, and the pair were looked upon pair of spendthrifts.

The price of was considered a lavish sum to pay. The lankees had no ball park and the pair were looked upon as a pair tion of baseball players. Not one of the players originally bought with the club remains with the Yankees tccay. Ruth Purchase Big Help For a year or two the wise sporting. persons continued to laugh at the Yankee magnates, but the Yankees continued to gain in popularity.

The pur chase of Babe ltuth from the Red Sox put the Yankees immediately into the big money and the "amateur magnates' stood revealed as two of the shrewd est business men in professional (-'ports-. There are no reports availab'e. but it is quite certain that in two of the big years the two colonels cleared over twice what they hnd paid for the Yankees in the first place. Up to that time the Giants had been the spectacular team in the financial way. But the sums spent by Ruppert and Huston made the biggest deals heretofore made by John J.

MeGraw look small. It is said that the Yankee owners bought from Harry 11. Frazee ilone about half a million dollars -worth of baseball players. Then c-aine the news that they were paying to Kabo Ruth a salary with bonuses rea'hed something like 75,000 a year. NEW YOKK.

Dec. 11. PRANK LEROY CHANCE, former manager of the Chicago Nationals and the New York Americans, today binned a contract to manage the iSoston American League club for 19-3. Official announcement of the consummation of the deal was made by II. II.

Frazeo, president of the Red Sox, from his New York of lice. Both Frazee rind Chance refused to reveal details the financial terms involved. President Frazee, however, stated that Chance's salary would compare favorably with those of the highest, paid Difiuaget-K in baseball. The Boston owner also said that the the enpsgement of Chance marked first step in the reconstruction of the lied Sox. Every effort will be made to strengthen the team by trade and purchase in order to make it a factor in future pennant races.

Chance will have full authority and control in rebuilding the club and may appear in Tlaying uniform on the coaching lines, lie will not, however, engage in actual play. Chance expressed his keen pleasure upon re-entering major league baseball, stated thst, having disposed of his 1 eal estate interests at Olendora, California, iu expected to make his home in the' East for the future. Gained Fame With Cubs The signing of Chance by the Red Sox brings bac-le to the national game one of the most popular and dynamic personalities the game has ever known. As first baseman and "peerless leader" a decade and more ago of the famous Chicago Ci'bs National League champions four times and world' champions twice Chance established a brilliant reputation not only as a player, but as a field general end strategist. After fifteen years with the Cubs, eight of them aa manager, "Chance severed hip Chicago connections in 1912 with the intention of, retiring to hi California orange grove, but was persuaded to take over the managership of the New Y'ork Yankees a three-year contract reputed to have called for an annual figure of $40,000.

lie piloted the team to seventh place in 3913. but in 1914, when the Yankees finished sixth, he resigned a month before the close of the season because of disagreement with owners over team policies and dissatisfaction with the conduct of several star players. Chance's interest in the national game, however, has not waned since he left its active ranks anl reports have been current at various times that he intended a "comeback" as a major league Negotiations between Frazee and Chance were practically concluded during the last -World's Series in New York.
