DISCHARGES SAMPSON.
Malone Says He Is No Match for
Chicago Amateurs.

MniOne says he IS NO MatCn Tor
Chicago Amateurs.
A recent issue of the Chicago Mail
contains what purp0rts TO be an inter-
view with Malone. the ex-champion
pool player,in which Mr.. Malone speaks
disparagingly of enry SIMPSONS
quoted as saying: ~
sampson is simply not in it With the
amateur players OF Chicago. Men like
Milburn. Norris, Ellison. Dexter and
others whom might name would beat
him so badly he would not know he was
i'll the game. Sampson does not play on
the 5Xl6 tables, used by the best and
teurs in Chicago. One rarely meets
with table of that siZa in the North
west. They are all 415x9. and in many
cases AXIS. 1t will easily be seen. there
fore, that if Sampson was to come to
Chicago. and attempt to play on the big
tables in use here, he would be simply
lost. He is undoubtedly young man
capable of becoming a good player
under competent teacher, but at pres
ent he is certainly hot in the class of the
gentlemen in this city whose names
have mentioned"
The Mail goes on to say by way Of
comment that this statement, coming
from man of experience III the billiard
world like Malone, diSpels the very
rosy.tinted clouds that have surrounded
Mr.. SIMPSONS name for some months
past" etc. This is rank I'M justice to
Sampson. He has honestly made his
record. and it will stand, in the face of
all Chicago or the entire Northwest.
Fairly earned, Sampson has the splen-
did average of II in l,0o0-point IA
inch baik-line game. and another of IL
in the straight rail game. Mr.. Foley
holds these records. He has written 10
the Mail. betting hats al lib., and the
defense Of Sampson is an easy matter.
The slurs the Mail attempts 10 cast
upon the ST. Paul press in its correct
reports "of phenomenal runs ana aver
ages made by gentleman named
Henry Sampson" are harmless shafts.
st. Paul papers have never told any
thing but the truth of Sampson, and his
records will stand long after his de-
tractors have been lost in obscurlty.

the annual competition for the Depart

post. Before the time for next years
competition comes around new rifle
range will have been built at Fort
Smelling. thanks 10 the streuous efforts
OF Col. kiefer. who secured an apprO-

Fort keogh. while the most central, and
therefore the easiest accessible military
post within the Department of Dakota,
IS i'll no way suited to the holding of
rifle competitions, owing TO the very I'M
favorable climatic conditions, miniature
gales being daily occurrence.
Simultaneously with the rifle CON-
petition is being held tie cavalry COM

are being conducted by Lieut. Col. John
Ii. Page, Twenty.second infantry, as
sisted by Capt. Owen j. Sweet. Twenty.

number of other officers as range
officers. The preliminary practice Of
three days duration. at which the conf
petltors from outside posts faniiarize
themselves with the ranges, climatic
conditiOns,etc., has just been concluded.
and if the result of this practice is an
indication of what the men can do in
rifle shooting, then the biggest scores
ever recorded at this point will be made
during the competition proper. Com
pairing the total scores of the highest
ten for the three days practice with
those of last year, the infantry gained
81 and the cavalry $50 points, and that
in spite of high. so-called. fishtail winds.
