Clubs are trumps; North leads, and
with South partner takes four out of
the five tricks.
Many a good whistle failed to dis
cover the pretty line of play whereby
North and South play into each others
hands, so as to secure that extra trick
in last weeks problem. North leads
off with club five so as to throw the
lead over to East, and regain it at the
proper time. East takes the first trick,
and then leads diamond deuce, which
South trunps; West discards spades,
and north throws away six of trumps!
South then leads spade five; Wes+ dis
cards clubs, and North does the same,
which gives him the last two tricks.
The discarding of his six of trumps
has left the lead with South. The
management of trumps is one of the
most important as well as difficult
points of good whist play, and is the
fatal rock ON which the average the
orist goes to pieces, says the New York
Herald. = Cavendish recommends stu
dents to bear in mind that 1.-THE use of
trumps is to draw the adversaries'
trumps for the bringing in of your
long suits. With great strength in

James Clay, who was the best play

handling Of the trumps, and was a
great stickler for their proper use He
was a member of parliament for thirty
years, and was as noted for his cour-
teous demeanor and even temperament
as for his sterling qualities. In the
popular play of Guy Livingston" the
hero, Castlemaine, is made to utter a
remark which was once actually made
by Clay, and Is quoted by those who
proach to finding fault with partner
which the distinguished whistle was
ever known to display. 1t is well
worth repeating, as impressing val
''It is computed he said, as he looked
sorrowfully at his partner, who had
failed to bring out trumps at the prop
er time, that there are 2,S61 young
Englishmen of good family and born
to brilliant prospects, who are now
wandering shoeless about the conti--
nent because they would not lead
trumps, having five!'
The story is better appreciated when
it is understood that Clay lived in the

the old-time newspaper scribe:

says a New York dispatch of Nov. Is.
He made a wonderful run of 4S3 and
then only scored $50 points in sixteen
innings. But that run not only beat
all anchor-barred balk-line records,
but electrified beholders. 1t was a
combination Of difficult shots, and was
probably the greatest treat ever wit
messed by an attendance at a billiard
match. There was scarcely a style Of
shot that was not made during the
course of the run. The young Napoleon

his career since he became a star, and
repeatedly had to eXtricate himself by
executing marvellous caroms. Gallagh-

gins. A few Of the ex-ball players
who dropped out of the game some
years ago, through knotholes in the
fence, watched me play back in the
seventies when they were boys. Why
are they not playing yet? Because

they wasted them in careless or in

serve his playing abilities for so
long time.
''Well, I've not burned the candle at
both ends, for one thing" he said.
"When I tell you that 1 have not
touched liquor of any kind during
the last twenty years, 1 am telling
you in generality the truth. The
only exception to that statement is
this: When 1 was married, my wife
was presented with dozen bottles
of champagne. Nine of these bottles
were consumed by our guests. Of
the remaining bottles two were
opened when our eldest daughter was
born. Several weeks ago that daugh-
ter celebrated the completion of her
eighteenth year, and on that joyous
occasion the remaining bottle of wine
was opened and distributed among
a large party which gathered in hon
or of the birthday. The proportion
per head was about teaSpoonful. To
please my daughter I drank my
share. Now, that teaspoonful of
wine represents the sum total of all
the liquor I have drunk in eighteen
years."

tobacco has put many good ball

SCORES OF THE LAST WEEK.
George Tubbesing Compelled to
Leave the City Temporarily
for His Henlth.

The article in last Sundays
Clio b e relating to the advisability
of changing the St Paul style of
bowling and counting frames to the
modern or American game of ten
pins with finger balls, including
spares and strikes, as the method Of
scoring, has been the theme for con-
siderable debate among the leading
bowlers of the city during the week.
Many of the very best of the old
style of bowlers favor. the new, be-
cause they think it simplifies the
game and brings first-clasS bowling
in the reach of persons of ordinary
strength, while the old style can only
be played we'll 10y athletes. This they
claim would bring new blood into
the game, and more than double it's
devotees. Besides the American way
of counting infuses into every game
played a degree of uncertainty that
keeps up the interest to the very last
frame. To illustrate, two men, equal
ly good this way, might be playing.
When the game was two-thirds over
one might be fifty pins in the lead.
With the American way of counting
the hfndmost man could easily win
by having little luck. At the pres
ent way this would be impossible at
any stage. When q one player gets
fifty pins more than the other the
game is considered lost, and in con-
sequence there is no further interest
or competition in it. Therefore it
must be plain to any one that the
better and the true method is the
one that will hold the players and
spectators interest under all circum-
stances up to the very last frame
of the game.

ENGLAND,s GREAT WALKER.
SturGess Recently Broke All Rec
Ords by Covering Eight Miles


ords by Covering Eight Miles
in an Hour.
England's athletic prowess has re-
ceived a severe setback at the hands
of Americans this year, but she is yet
able to console herself with the thought
that she at least possesses the greatest
walker on earth in the person of W. j.
Sturgess.
Satisfied that he could cover eight
miles within the hour, the London A.
c. afforded him the opportunity at its
autumn meeting, held recently at
Stamford Bridge. A handicap was
framed, and as a result SturgeSS not
only completed the eight miles, but
placed another 270 yards to his credit
before the stipulated time had run out.
This knocks to flinders the previous
best amateur record of Z miles, 1,4S7
yards and feet, made by H. Curtis, as
well as Griftin's professional hour rec
ord of miles III yards.
Eleven men opposed SturgesS, and
they were conceded plenty of start, but
at such a clip did the champion travel
that he was making his own pace at
the four-nile mark. The following ta-
BILE shows what he did:
Distance. Min. Sec. Distance. Min. Sec.
2 miles IA % is s miles ....4S 6S a-5

Sturgess is a member of the Poly
technic Harriers, and astonished every
one by walking H. Curtis, who had held
the championship since 1890, completely
off his legs for this years title. In ad-
dition to the above records, Sturgess
had just previously established new
times for one, two and three miles. His
action was from start to finish perfec-
ton personified, from strictly fair
walking point of view.

ST. PAUL HIGH SCHOOL
Defeats Saltwater High School on
the GridirOn.

The st. Paul and Saltwater high
at Aurora park yesterday afternoon,
resulting in a victory for the st.
Paul kickers by score of 24-0. A
large delegation came over with the
Prison City team, prepared to cheer
their players to victory, but after the
first two or three plays it was pain
fully evident that something more
substantial than cheers would be
necessary to cinch victory for Still
water, as the team was entirely out
classed by the st. Paul eleven, both
in individual playing and team work.
The st. Paul boys seemed to realize
their task was an easy one, and
played most indifferently through
out the first half, scoring but one
touchdown and falling to kick the
goal.
The playing during the second
half was somewhat more spirited,
though it became tedious through
repeated delays. At the opening of
the half, st. Paul kicked to Still
waters ten-yard line, from where
only one play was necessary to Sc
cure touchdown Burleigh carried
the ball over the line, and Brennan
kicked a goal. Score, 100. Saltwater
made the next kickoff, few min
utes' aggressive play by ST. Paul
landing the oval on their twenty
five-yard line, where it was lost on
a tumble. Saltwater attempted to
punt, but Lintner secured the ball,
scoring a touchdown easily. Bren-
nan kicked a fairly difficult goal, and
the score stood 1910. Saltwater again
kicked off. st. Paul, ejecting a little
ginger in to their play, soon had the
leather on their opponents five-yard
line, when Burleigh, needlessly,
added two points to the st. Paul
score by making a safety. Score,
18-0 On the following kickoff, Lint
ner carried the ball to the twenty
yard line. Several center plays then
placed the pigskin on Stillwater's
three-yard line, when Burleigh
repeated his previous performance
and touched it down for a second
safety. Score, 300. Once more the
saltwater boys kicked off, and with
but three minutes to play st. Paul
scored a touchdown, failing at goal.
Score, 24-0.
The teams lined up in the follow
