Other Clubs Must Waive: Montreal, April 20.--Aeccording to Prominent Western hockey men, who are in Montreal in connection with the semi-annual meeting or the National Hockey League several of- fers have been received from the Eastern organization for Western hockey players, including Bill Cpok, of the Saskatoon Sheiks. None of these offers could 'be entertained, bowever, it is said, by the Western men, because interleague regula- tions made it obligatory for clubs in either league to waive their rights before any individual player could Be sold or traded outside his own league.

This was due to the fact that very often, Mack would tie up some high | school star who showed promise then pay his way through college, simply to get first chance at him if he decided to turn professional. More recently in his desire to get together a winner, Connie has tem- porarily discarded his cradle-robbing policy. Otherwise the wires would have already carried the news that Freddy Heinemann, a New York high school boy, had been signed by Mack as a future great pitcher, In his first start of the season he gcored a shutout, failing to allow a hit, not a man reaching first base. Last year he performed a similar stunt, Possibly John McGraw and Miller Huggins . have already interested themselves in the young man. Hoppe the Great, While young Jake Schaefer is a re- markable billiard player, it is doubt- ful if he will ever reach the dizzy heights that Willie Hoppe attained. During the 17 years that Hoppe reigned supreme as 18.2 champion, he suffered only one defeat. If my memory serves me correct, he was undefeated for 15 years. Despite his well-known brilliancy with the cue, Schaefer has twice been defeated for the title within a year. After winning it from Hoppe, he was defeated by the Belgian, Edou- ard Horemans. He later turned the tables by Hagenlacher of Germany. Nothing more concrete could be offered to prove the greatness of Hoppe. Breaks Record, While Hoppe has unquestionably passed the peak of his game in all forms of billiards, he still can step some, : In his recent 18.1 match with Schaefer, he broke the record run of 140, made by Frank Ives, that has stood for 30 years. His score was 149. Later he set the mark at 200. He held the honor only a few days as Schaefer set a high mark of 241. HELPFUL GOLF HINTS | BY TED RAY.

A Madison Square Garden to be Built There, Chicago, April 20.--A huge sports arena, seating fram 20,000 to 22,000 persons and costing from $5,000,000 After watching the performance of Selbert, Phillips, Joliat, Stewart, Morenz, and half a dozen other players from the amateur ranks in the pro. league, the club owners have come to the conclusion, at long last, that hockey as played in the O.H.A. and similar leagues is the bradd of the Stratford team by St. Patrick's was good business. The chief obstacle in the way of the signing of amateurs is that they want the wealth of the Bank of England before consenting to renounce their amateur status. Football, baseball, basketball and hockey players, track men and oarsmen, are loath to put! aside their favorite activities for all time for the questionable privilege of playing hockey in the pro. league, and they make the club owners pay "through she nose" for their services. "Dec." Carson will be a very valuable acquisition to St. Patrick's and to the pro. league.-- Toronto Globe. * There is every indication that the Regiopolis Tennis Club will be a thriving organization this season.
