The Seattle Athletic Clubs team of
howiers suffered total eclipse at Taco
ma Saturday evening. They did good
work. but were not In the same class as
their opponents. This Is what makes the
victory of the Tacoma men worthy OF I'M
. stinted praise. The total score OF Taco
mas slx men in four games was i.n3s, as
against 9iO for Seattle giving the victors a
margin OF f2s pins. The highest total
score In one game made by Tacoma was
sa2. the lowest "a. as compared with aeS
ana 19i for Seattle. The average total
score OF the Tacoma players was I7S as
against i51 e-3 for Seattle. The highest av-
arage score made by Tacoma in one game
was IS Sc. the lowest 3, as compared with
II 80 and % Sc for Seattle. In the last
game Tacoma scored rs points. Seattle 49,
giving the former the remarkable margin
OF I02 points.
Tommy Barrager. the champion broad
jumper Of the Pacific Northwest. was the
star Of the evening. He made 29f pins in
the four games, maintaining an average
of a9i4 throughout. His highest score was

A. H. Harrison did the best work for
Seattle. his total score being i5s. F. IT.
Warner came second with lG5. Canaan
made 6 In his first game. which ran as
high single score until the last game. when
Earrager made 6. By inspecting the
score Il will be seen that Seattle won only
one game out OF the four. namely, the first
when she Knocked down stS. as against a5z
for Tacoma. The match was the third sub
series IN the fo-ty-gawe match. The rpc-
ord now stands: Tacoma 8 games; Seat

Night Clerk AIlinger.

The police have at last succeeded in Sc
curing evidence that will make Ii impossi-
BILE for Smith, the slasher of Ben De
Camp. TO escape through lack OF positive
Identification on the part of the victim.
John Allinger, night clerk at the Con-
cordia house, where De Camp roonied.
was at police headquarters yesterday aft
ernoon and positively identified Smith and
Mexican as the two men who had been
in the house a moment before The cutting
affray. Aiiinger said that Smith and Nc
Kean paid for their room 20 cents, which
proves that when they asked De Camp for
a nickel they were simply following up
their habit OF begging. Mexican has al
ready told two stories. In his first he
swore To Capt. Willard that he had been
on Pike street during the evening and hal
Just walked down 10 Main street when he
was arrested At first he did not know
anything about the case but finally came
TO the conclusion that it was Smith who
did It, after blood had been discovered on
his coat sleeve.
Detective Barhee has discovered a wit
ness who has identified Smith as the man
who struck De Camp. Smith changed his
name yesterday from John To George He
said tfat ne was a native Of Earis.own,
England.
De Ca mp is getting along well and there
is no reason at present to think he will not

Records I'm the Six Days Bicycle
Match Are Cut Down.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-The managers OF
the six-Gay bicycle contest that was mn
ished last night at Madison Square Gar
den. now admit what has been alleged
since the first day of the race, that the
track was short. Today surveyors went
over the course and, although IL was ofii-
cially announced that the riders had not
travelled a fun mile for every nine laps,
lust hcw short each nile was has not been
given oct.
When Miller finished winner of the race
20a3is miles had been chaiked up 10 his
credit From what can be learned, IL Is
believed that the track was something Ike
zoo feet short TO the mile. and therefore
the actual distance Travelled was about
aOi4 miles Miller was sixty-seyen miles
ahead of Rice. the second man, and thus
the latter will have To his credit something

Is much below his old record. II is stated
hy the managers that the actual figures
will not he given out until affidavits have
been submitted by the surveyors, who
went over the course TO day. ana until
other formal steps have been taken to IN
sure the correctness of the records made
by the men.

Much discussion has been raised by the
reports that IL has been decided that ev-

the track more than q fun day and night,
