NEVER BET AGAIN.
Tom FoIey's "Reminiscences Of q
Detroit Billiard Match.

Tom Foley's "Reminiscences of
Detroit Billiard Match.
"Talking about billiards exerting
bad influence" said Thomas Foley the
other day, II remember an incident
that occurred in connection with the
famous Phelan-Seereiter match in $50
that goes to show that even at that
time, when gambling was openly in
dulged i'll by nearly every one and
thought nothing Of, the men who had
the'interest of the game at heart did
everything in their power to make its
influence pure and good. Excitement
was at fever heat as the day
for the match drew near, for
the match was looked upon as a
battle between the East and West, and
number of New Workers had accom-
panied Phelan to Detroit, where they
had no difficulty in backing their favor
lite. Ralph Benjamin was the central
figure of the New York contingent, who
had made the Biddle house their heads
quarters, and it was known that he was
ready to back Phelan to any extent. On
the afternoon of the match, lad about
fourteen years old walked into the Bid
die house and inquired for Mr. Benja-
min. He was pointed out to him, and
the little fellow walked up and said:
Are you MI. Benjamin."
Eyes. my lad, what can | do for you?u
inquired Ralph.
Il want to bet on our Dutchman."
Chow much do you want to bet?"
"All l have" and he pulled out lit
tie purse in which was one dollar gold
piece and two dollars in small silver.
Thinking to give the lad useful les
son, Mr.. Benjamin determined to humor
him, and to carry on the Joke as we'll as
the moral, the following agreement was
drawn up:
Master George Thompson, of Detroit,
bets Ralph Benjamin, of New York,
three dollars (S3) that John Seereiter, of
Detroit, beats Michael Phelan, of New
York, the match of 1900 points to be
played in Fireman's hall on the evening

RESULTS OF THE RACES.

The ice track on Lake Como yester-
day afternoon was paJroniZed by large
and enthusiastic concourse of lovers OF
honest sport. The track was never In
better shape, and everything worked
smoothly. The public attending num-
bered fully 2,000-the track was lned
with double row of sleighs for fully
q Quarter of a mile. The street car
service was rather inadequate. A large
number waited for nearly half an hour,
and those that had patience to walt
were late for the first heat in the free
for-all. The track is full half mile,
laid out by competent surveyor, and
the records are authentic, being timed
bv electric connections between start
ers' and Judges stands. The free-tor-
all resulted in Stratford, DR.. Prices
stallion. winning first prize; Ca p Wood,
Fred Bostwlck, second prize; Pearl IL,
j. G. Moulton, third prize. This race
was very close and exciting, Stratford
winning the first heat by nose in 1:29,
with Pearl r second. and Cap Wood
close third. In the second heat Pearl
r won in lis. Cap Wood, coming
I'D like flash in the last twenty yards,
captured second place from Strattord,
who was third. In the last heat Queen
Nab made a game trial for the heat,
leading until the quarter pole was
reached, when Stratford and Cap Wood
collared her. Pearl II, making bad
break, did not regain her feet soon
enough, and the first three raced every
foot of the way home. Stratford
gradually gained on Queen Nab, and
forced Cap Wood to break, causing
him to lose considerable ground. when
about thirty yards from the wire Gap
Wood caught his feet and made one or
his phenomenal bursts Of speed, closing
OH Stratford like flash, but not soon
enough, as the latter won by head IN
Ill.
Considering that the horses were all
out of condition-StratfOrd only being
driven one week after lay-otf in the
stable OF three monthS-the time is con-
Bidered good.
In the three-minute class DR.. Cor
coran's Billy's Kid won the first heat in
1924. He had a walk-aWay. Mr.. Rel
burg's Frank B took second place,
