BIG BILLIARD
CHAMPIONSHIP
FIGHT SOON ON
Experts Expect Conti-Schaef
er Match Will Be Bril
liant Affair.
CHICAGO, Jan, 3. -(By the Asao
elated Press.)—Roger Conti, the 21-1
year-old billiard champion of Prance,
-will enter the challenge match
against Young Jake Schaeffer here
January 8, it and in. confident of con
quering the Chicagoan, and thus earn
the right t > challenge Willie Hoppe
the recrowned champion, for the 18." j
balk line title championship.
The match will be staged at Or >
chestra Hall and will be on the usiia'j
terms of 1,500 points—500 points be-i
ing disposed of each night
The contest promises to lie one of |
the most interesting ever played it:,
Chicago and despite the great ropti
tatlon of Young Schaefer, there ar
many experts who believe the bay
from Franco will Ihis time take hi
measure.
This opinion is sh ired especially
by those who witnessed Conti’s play |
In the International Tournament at i
New York and who were greatly sur-1
prised at the improvement in his j
playing compared with that . liown it j
the 1921 tournament at Chicago.
That Conti is a real match for
Schaefer has boon proven recently
on ntoro than one occasion. Born in
France on May 1, 1901, Conti is the
youngest of the players wh > took
part in tho recent International and
for a youngster he has a remarkable
record. In France, before coming
of age, he defeated Doruet. on ' o
the 10 best balk-liners in France.
In the 1921 tournament in Chicago
Conti finished fourth, just behind
Cochran. In the last International,
Conti finished third, ahead of Coch
ran, and improved his average over
that made in tho 1921 tournament
by figures of 41 8-12. compared I >
28 37-01 That shows itow fast Conti
Is coming and how he appears to be
n formidable candidate for the cham
pionship. His admirers point out
that Conti gave Schaefer his first de
feat in the 1921 tournament when hp
beat him in the fifth game, 400 to
202.

DIXON DEFEATS
ROY LAWSON IN
EIGHT ROUNDS
i
(Anchorage* Time-. Dec. 2ti.)
In the main event of a schedule 11
eight-round contest at Kcharts’ stunk-j
or Saturday night, from the time the |
gong clattered until the towel was
heaved into the ring. '•Sailor’' I>ixon
had Roy L awson completely at his j
mercy. Lawson, who had been rated |
[it a fairly good boy, made a very |
poor showing, and It is the general'
verdict of the fight fans that if he
had snapped out of it end willingly!
mixed it with Dixon on intsrostlng
to would have boon w,messed.
From the first to the final round
Lawson appeared emu nt to adopt
covering up tactics, using the Eddie
Hanlon crouch in the earlier rounds,
covering vital parts and allowing
Dixon to do all the leading. Being a
ring general of no mean ability Dixon'
declined to hammer himself out
against the turtle-like defense. The;
rounds were all pretty much the,
same until the fifth, when Dixon be-1
gan boring in and shattering the d >•
fense, finding Lawson at will with
telling straight punches. A hook to
the jaw in the fifth round caused:
Lawson’s knees to totter and his sec
onds tossed in the towel.
The third bout on the smoker pro
gram—Harry Porter and Harry Sny
rlei—was the card of the evening.
This gi) was a four round treat ami
fast and furious all the way. The
outstanding feature was the game
ness of Harry Snyder, who stood up
to the rapid attacks of his heavier j
opponent. Silver-tongued Announcer!
Hamilton gave the weights as Porter!
115, Snyder 135.
The first preliminary between Cleg-!
horn, the "Cook Inlet Kid.'' and “Sol-,
dier” Lewis at 145 pounds ended in1
a draw which was endorsed by tirt
crowd. In the first round Cleghora
led off with a haymaker. Lewis com-,
ing back with a Jolt to Cleg'^ jaw
that staggered him. Lewis, how vor,
did not follow up his advantage The|
second was a jsc/ies of hot mixes j
with both boys willing and agvies-'
s1ve. Steam ran low in the fourth*
and both boys were willing to slow
up
The second preliminary, betwi- -a
the "Panama Kid" at 122 pound and
Buck Blackburn, ended happily for;
all concerned in a draw. The hoys!
were too affectionate and apparently!
at raid they would spoil each <»' h —' s I
cutely marcelled hlrsuit.

GEORGE SISLER
TO GET CREDIT
AS ,420 HITTER
NEW YORK, Jan. I! Tito paw ts
that bo in baseball circles have I -
cideal to record George Si-dor's in:
ting average in the official archiv -
as .420. It was recently shown that
Slslor's actual figures wore .419.78
plus, and that by all th ■ proceden -
tile St. Gottis American star should
bo credited with that rare average
ol' 4.20. That thing has been done
formally and officially, and with all
the usual pomp, or whateved it ;
they use, that the league statisticians
employ. \
It gives Sisler the official lead
over Ty Cobb, who heretofore has
been the king pin of American bat
wielders for all time.
In making out the averages, Sis
ler's correct standing was not ob
tained on the first computation. Hi
would have bean second to Cobb had
it not been for a revision of t
grounds.
MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING
CASE IN NEW YORK IS
FINALLY DISMISSED
(Continues room Page One.)
as “,Ja< k” and i’etors h id tried I >
blackmail him. He said he drove
I’etors to K n-ici rc rrvoir and tin
there, cover. I with Pliers’ gun, he
was ordered to g ■: utt his m i
chine.
Ward said lie grabbed Pete:.'
hand, tunic I it > he . didn't fire
anal shot his own revolv -r. Then,
he said, “Ross" and Jack, who h cl
followed him, -began t , fire. One of
them was wound d. Ward said, but
both escaped n a big led racing car
which Ross drove.
The story might have been accept
ed by Hisiri I Atlornei Weeks ,-,d
the sheriff but for the fact that W. l
persistently refus' d to elaborate on
the alleged blackmail plot.
Five days later. W r I was arrested
again and sent to jail. His attorneys
gut a writ of hab . • corpus and after
*“vrral days in jail, ho was finally
released again on $50,000 bail. For
weeks the county officials sought to
unravel the blackmail plot and Hi
story behind the killing without
avail.
M2ny Stories Pop Up
Stories of every possible nature
popped up. but Ward and his family
wero silent. A man named Cunning
bam was injected into the case. Cun
ningham claimed he knew the whole
story, and it w:s charged by him
that Peters was actually killed in
Ward's Sutton Manor home in Now
Rochelle. Cunningham was arrest".1
and held as a material witness, but
finally after several efforts was re
Ion :ed under $3,000 bail He w..s
never called upon to tell his story
before the grand jury.
The grand jury actod early in June.
All possible witnesses were heard at
once except Ralph A. Ward, brother,
an I George S Ward, father of the
man who h i 1 confessed the shooting.
These two were out of tho state, and
George S. Ward has never appeared
to testimy. Ralph Ward finally did
appear, however, and his testimony
was followed by an indictment charg
ing murder in the fir.-,; degree. Wal
ler Ward was arros; >d and sent t
jail. *
A long legal battle followed. Con
spiracy proceedings were begun
against George S. \\ ird by the dis
rict attorney and Supreme Court
Justice Morschaus r. Several wit
nesses were hoard in that hearing
hut wKhout result.
Regular Legal Battery
Attorneys for Wai 1 asked for and
obtained the right to see tho grand
jury minutes on which their client
had boen Indicted. They at once
moved that he be treed, and were
able to obtain bis release under
$“>0,000 bail after bo had spent 2lt
(lays in jail.
A legal (battery which has seldom
been equalled in W -stchoster county
was called into tin- case. District
Attorney Weeks arranged to tin
John K. Mack, guardian for Guy
Stillman, act as - pecial prosecutor
and echoes of tin' Stillman fight
w heard when .1 tin Brennan, dean
of the county bar. was brought into
Hi" case on Ward' . side. He was
follow nl by Isa.ii- .V .Mills, a former
unreme court justice, and Lee Par
‘ins Davis, a former district a',
torney.
The riddle *of the blackmail, how
vor, has not y ' been solved. Wit
nesu's have com ' forward who claim
it was based on or" racing, and
several of them w re to be asked to
testify at the trial.
Ward, however, has never budg'd
tram his position taken tho day h
admitted the shooting -that
killed Peters because the latter
s; tight to blackmail him, and it was
up to tho authorities to prove that
Lutenient was not the truth. "His "
uni “Jack" have not yet boon found.
