When the word came Yesterday
morning that Keoghs big lead in the
championship pool match at Boston had
been overcome by Clearwater and that
the Scranton champion had made only
l6 balls while Clearwater, whom he de-
feated two to one. here, last fall was
making 252 balls, there was the biggest
kind Of surprise expressed and when
1t came to Offering an explanation a
strong suspicion arose that everything
was not right.
This suspicion has been confirmed.
The 1910 o'clock Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western train this morn
ing brought to the city a man who
witnessed the tournament, former
SCrantonian, who knows Keogh per-
sOnally, is perfectly familiar with the
Scranton boys style Of play and who
is himself a fairly clever player, and
he says unhestatingly and without
equvocation that Keogh was "dopey"
| during the last nights play.
The bearer of this information is
John S. O'Boyle. formerly of Dunmore
but who for the past five years has
been engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness in Boston.
WHAT MIR. O'BOYLE SAID.
He was seen by a Tribune reporter
at 1890 this morning at Keoghs bill
! lard parlors on Lackawanna avenue,
| where he dropped in to see Joseph
Keogh, Jerome's brother and manager.
There is no question" said Mr..
! O'Boyle, but that Jerome was not
| himself. Spectators who witnessed his
| brilliant work the first and second
| nights and saw his groggy perform
ance Wednesday night did not know
what to make of the change that had
| come over him. Many who did not
know him thought he was either drunk
| or throwing the game. There were
| others who even up to the second hour
of play thought he was foXing and
offered money at odds that he would
| win out.
For my own part, knowing that he
never drank a drop of intoxicants in
| his life and that the holding of the
| championship was more to him than
any amount of money Clearwater or
! his friends could offer him to throw
| the game. I was satisfied that his mis-
cradle showing was due to some out
side agency.
MISS EASY SHOTS.
| He would miss the easiest Kind of
shots time and again and often one of
| these misses would stand staring at
| the table as if bewldered until it
would come his turn to shoot again.
| He would brace himself, coolly take
| aim and shoot. The ball would go
| wide of it's mark. Keogh would rub
his eyes, resume his bewildered stare
| and wait like man in a trance until
he was called to try again. l know
| Jerome well and have seen him play
pool under all kinds of circumstances
and / saw without reserve, that he
was not himself on last Wednesday
night. He was 'dopey' and no ques-
| ton"
Mr.. O'Boyle also stated that Keogh
| challenged Clearwater to another con-
test Immediately after the game. Tn
der the championship rules Clearwater
must play him within forty days or
forfeit the championship. When the
next contest with Clearwater occurs
the Scranton lad will not be alone as
he was this time.

Great musicians use Kimballs. The

"The more use my Kimball piano the

The Importance of systematic organ-
ization is admirably exemplifed in the
workings OF the inquiry department of
the salvation Army. Originating in the
social and relief attachment of the
great spiritual order established by
General William Booth, this Depart
ment has almost i~nsensibly developed

One whistle for the Pack.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
An interesting law point arose in a
Tennessee case CFink VS.. Evans. IS Ten
nessee. f3.) The suit was brought to re-
cover for personal injuries sustained by
two dogs in a head-on collision with a
passenger train. The question arose
whether the engineer was required to
blow a separate blast for zach dog or
might whistle to them collectively. Judge
Wilkes said:
1T is insisted by the plaintiff that. while
the whistle was sounded. IL was intended
for the whole pack. and not for the three
dogs that were run over. This. however,
seems to be a mere opinion of the wit
ness. as he was a quarter of a mile away
from the place when the whistle was
sounded. In addition. IL would. we think.
be requiring too great diligence for the
engineer to whistle for each particular
dog. and more especially as he had no
means OF informing each dog that any
special whistle was sounded for him."

In 1857 Colston. with a party Of

objects in view. One was to secure q
consignment Of furs to take down the
Potomac by boat to Alexandra. Va,
and the other to examine the valleys
west of the Alleghmies with a view of
taking settlers there for settlement.
While thus engaged the party was
captured by Indians and all were killed

eyes. He was made q captive for seven
years. but finally managed to escape
