1t may be positively stat ed that st.

year. Yesterdays call for the Windsor
meeting Saturday afternoon at O'clock
developed the fact that several people
are anxious 10 put a team in
here, number of whom will
be at the meeting. Among these
will be John NJ. Bennett. the
railroad man, whose headquarters have
been in Minneapolis the past few years.
He is well and fayofably known, both
in business and sporting circles. Mr..
Bennett does not wish to get in the way
of local enthusiasts, but has desire TO
give this city first-elass team. which
will win games enough to keep all its
competitors guessing from April TO
October. Mr.. Bennett has back
ing to the extent of $780,
900, and has his eye on a
manager and several fine players. He
will be at the meeting Saturday TO state
his case, and, if his proposition is favor
ably received, will go ahead with the
work of putting in team after the Chi
cago meeting Jan. z. Mr.. Bennett and
his friends have been looking over
various locations for grounds the past
few days, and have their eye Oh piece

highest run was II, while his opponent
only reached s in any one inning.
Then came the evening contests.
Clark and Monroe led off, as has been
chronicled above. Clark reached his
century mark all right, but Monroe was
close up with 93 to his credit. Thayer
and Green took the table next.
Thayer appeared 10 be in shock
ing form The allowances were
Green 20 and Thayer 100 points, and
Green more than kept even pace, scor-
ing more points than Thayer seemed
able to tick off. The game was waning
when Thayer recovered himself and be-
gan series of s, 10, II, etc, and Green
filled basket with goose eggs. A new
aspect was assumed and the score
ended. Thayer 100 and Green 81. Then
Monroe and Sibley did battle. the iorm-
er reaching the 100 mark to "Sib's" So.
The closing event was thoroughly eX-
citing. 1t was between Clark and Capt.
Hardacre. They are both strong
players and they made the
effort of their lives. 1t was
considered a dead even thing. but
Clark proved the more clever, and he
played wonderfully good. He made
100 to the others g. This is Hardacre's
first inglorious defeat. and it is not
likely he will fall as far behind any
other contestant during the tourney.
This is New Years day, and Tom
Foley is undecided how the programme
will be filled. But it is certain that
Wilmot will contest honorS with some
one, probably Hardacre, and that there
will be at least two other games during
the evening.
The history of the tournament thus
far is.

Billiard tournament last evening were
of the sensational order. The aspirants
to distinction in the grand game are
Quickening their pace with alacrity, and
some of them see no impossible shots
on a table. That is the true expert
spirit, and they are becoming imbued
with it. There was big crowd of inter-

some of the phenomenal work. Monroe

up his courage to the sticking point" as
Shakespeare hath ii, and defeated the
hardy Cai.t. Hardacre. And he did it
by brilliant work, too. The balls were
left mighty hard for him, and he reached
some wonderful bank shots when no
earOm seemed possible. They even eX-
cited Hatley, the expert.
As intimated is these columns yester-
day, the game between Monroe and
Clark proved an event. 1t was tight
pinching throughout, and Clark won by
great generaiship. Monroe started out

took shift and Clark, by steady work,
added another scalp TO his belt. Clark as
was remarked by Wilmot last evening,

once. and that by the indomitable play
of Wilmot, which was, by the way, the
most bri liant game of the season thus

And Sibley, the idol of large circle

his Indifferent work, for his adversary
was lat HIMSELF in the active sense OF
the phrase. But he will never be a
trailer. His ambition will lead him well
up in the percentage column when the
series ends.
There were two games in the after
noon. Sibley knocked out Barry with
ease, making an average of 4 points,

BOXING MATCHES OFF.
Madden Makes a Proposition to
CoPbett

New YORK, Dec. 3l.-There will be
no sparring contest between Peter
Maher, the Irish champion, and Jack
Dempsey at the Madison Square garden
or elsewhere Jan. IA. Gus Tuthill,
Dempsey's hacker. and Billy Madden,
the Irishman's manager, had talk yes
terday and decided that, as they could
not give show that would be salts
factory to the people who would give
up 81 or 50, they would call the thing
off altogether.
Supt. Murrdv's order in regard to
'knocking-out" matches has broken up
another good show that Billy Madden
had on hand. Madden was so confident
that Maher would beat Dempsey that
he had made an agreement with Parson
Davies for match between the Irish
champion and Peter jackson for four
rounds Jan. %. Whether the Corbett-
Mitchell bout, which is down for Feb.
IL, is to be abandoned is not yet settled.
Madden said yesterday that he hoped
Corbett would fight Maher for the $4,000
purse offered by the Olympic club of
New Orleans. mitchell will not fight,
/ think" said Madden, $50 why can't
| they fake on Maher? I'll PROMISE them
that Peter will give them a fight for
their money. Corbett can get bets ag-
gregating $1,000 on the outside. and |
will agree to have the winner take all

SKATING TODAY.
The Event of the Season on Ice to
Occur.

Occur.
The skating association has arranged
two contests to occur at the Junior Pho
neer rink this afternoon, and which
promise to be the events of the season
in that line. The first is one-mile
time contest. which was postponed from
Christmas day on account of the snow
storm. 1t will commence at p. M.
Among the entries are the following:
Davidson, amateur champion of st.
Paul during 1889 and 1890; b. Bird. win
ner of this years championship; Ed
Pannell, winner of the state champion
ship last year and Charles Hairy and
A. Scheibe, all of st. Paul: j. a. An
drews, of Saltwater; II. Sletten, ..
Rudd and G. Hodges. of Minneapolis.
The last mentioned will also endeavor
to break the mile record. providing all
conditions are favorable. 1t is also prob
able that John S. johnson. the North
western champion. will compete, and
possibly others, as the entry list is open
up to time of starting contest.
The second event, a fye-miie handi-
cap race, promises very close and eX-
citing match. Bird, Pannell, Davidson,
HAIRY, Martin, Crawford, Napier and
Smith. of st. Paul, and j. A. Andrews,
of Saltwater, have entered, and the
first three named will probably start on
scratch, allowing the others from one
half to two laps handicap. Handsome
prizes are offered by the association for
botn events, and these two races have
awakened more rivalry among the
skaters than ever before.
