IVES PUTS UP A FINE GAME In THE
CHICAGO TOURNA-
MENT.
ALL THE SHOTS LOOK ALIKE
BANKS, FOLLOWS, DRAWS. AND
ALL THE REST ARE EASY
FOR HIM.
MIR. sPINKs UP AGAINST A sNAG.
His Chance for n Share of the Prize
Money Weakened by Bad
Beating.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-After one of the
finest displays of scientific billiards
ever shown in Chicago, Frank Ives to-
night defeated George Sutton by a
score of 400 to 160. Ives won the bank
but missed the lay-off shot Sutton
| made 10 and then the Young Napo-
leon proceeded to show the possibil-
tiles of the game. Draws, masses,
spreads and bank shots, alternated
with skillful nursing, kept Marker
Mathews busily calling off the shots
until 123 was reached. Then Frank fell
down on a hair-line shot Sutton pill
ed up 81 in this third inning, 10 in the
fourth and sc in the fifth. The Cana
dian was responding to the applause
of his many friends in the audience,
and had been facing any other play
er than Ives would have undoubtedly
won the game. Ives put up 45 in his
fourth and in the sixth gathered 49,
but four short of the handicap, a miss
and four small innings left him still
one short as Sutton had been putting
up few buttons for himself and at the
end of the eleventh inning the score
stood: Ives, 1885, Sutton, 1856 Then Ives
took a new lease of life, and with runs
Of 20, 49 and 27 filled his score, leaving
Sutton with but 160 to his credit. This
was the first game in the tournament
in which the winner of the bank has
won the game and many bets were lost
because of the break. Sutton and
Spinks play tomorrow afternoon and
Schaefer and Sutton in the evening.

Cation defeated Spinks this after
noon by a score of 260 to 249. Had
Spinks won this afternoon he would
have been sure of fourth money, with
a fair chance for third. His victory
last night over Schaefer gave him con-
fidence, but Cation, after getting
warmed up, began piling up the car
oms in a most disheartening way, and
in the eighteenth inning took the lead
with a clever run of 80. Spinks came
back with a pretty cluster Of A, but
the Rock Island boy was not to be
denied, and returned the compliment
with a run of "a, to which he added
Sc in the twenty-first inning, practical
ly clinching the game. Spinks made
three double figure runs in the next
ten innings, but offset them with four
singles and three goose eggs, SO that
he did not become dangerous. Then
Cation, in turn, lost his grip, allow
ing Spinks to creep up on him. He,
however, managed to stay long enough

HARVARD ATHLETES.
Soldiers Field to BE Greatly I'm
proved.

BOSTON, Jan. 19.-During the last few
years large sum Of money has been given
by Harvard graduates in Boston toward
Soldiers Field, the main athletic grounds at
Harvard university, and latterly to put it
in proper condition for ball playing and
track athletics. The board of governors OF
the university and their friends in Cam
bridge, have subscribed $25, 600, and 1t is ex-
pected that another fund of $3.50 will be
subscribed In Boston, to extend and complete
the grounds.
The Harvard club, of New York city, has
decided to do its part in encouraging athletics
at Harvard, by raising s25, 900 for the erection
of a boat house for the crews. The an
nouncement given out last night that
$4,000, or three -ffths of the necessary amount
has already been subscribed and the MEM
bers of the club are called upon to COM
plete the subscription before the annual
banquet of February. Plans for the building
now being considered by Prof. Hollis,
and the boating men at Cambridge and as
soon final plans specifications and est
mates are received, the subscribers will be
called upon to elect advisory committee
to act with Prof. Hollis, in building the
house.
The city OF Boston has lately laid out, as
part of the park system, driveway along the
bank of the Charles river, and this driveway
passes Soldiers Field. Here, between the
driveway and the river the college has re-
served a strip of land 1850 feet in length
and 200 feet in breadth, and on this space the

PETTIGREW INA PICKLE.
Trouble Over a South Dakota Land
Office ApnOintMent

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 19-There
Is much talk among the politicians Of
the state about the attitude into which
Senator Pettigrew has got himself
about the confirmation of Charles L.
Brockway, appointed receiver of the
Chamberlain land office. The Argus
Leader, of this city, first printed from
its Washington correspondent a story
to the effect that the confirmation was
being held up by Mr.. Pettfgrew. Mr..
Petugrew's paper. the Sioux Falls
Press. then came out with an alleged
dispatch from Senator Pettigrew in
which he said he was not opposed to
Brockways confirmation but favored
it. Then the Argus-Leader published a
telegram from Senator Kyle in which
he said he was told by Senator Hans
brough, chairman of the public lands
committee, that the confirmation was
being held up at Pettigrew's re-
quest. Senator Kyle then confronted
Senator Pettigrew, in the presence of
the committee, with his dispatch to the
Press denying that he was holding up
Brockway and Pettigrew then admitted
that he was. Since then the senator's
paper has admitted it, also, saying that
eiio appointment Woulo pe Helu up until
Judge GraybilPS term expired in March
The delay in the connrmation is not
important in itself, but the politicians
on both sides of the fence are poking
their tongues In their cheeks to keep
them from laughing at the sad predic-
ament into which the senior senator
has got himself, having first denied
point blank, over his own signature,
that he favored the confirmation and
having later admitted over his own sig
nature, and also in the presence of the
public land committee, ithat he was
holding it up and giving his reasons
therefor. a. o

Wicker's wife died a few years ago, and in

that his body should be treated in the same
manner. Wicker died suddenly a few days

was cremated. John S. Inglis, of the Union

SANITY QUESTIONED.
Martin Swanson VIII Be Examined
in Probate Court.


Martin Swanson, who few months ago OBJ
Ftained considerable notoriety in a peculiar
manner, will today be examined before Judge
Harvey, of the probate court, as to his san
Iity. He was taken to the county Jail yes
terday, and held in the insane ward over
night At the jail he did not act violently,
/ but there seems little doubt that his mind
is unbalanced.
When the Haugan case was first tried,
i Swanson was summoned juror. AS he
answered the questions, and no objections
were found, he was accepted by both sides
as juror. The case was adjourned over
Sunday, but when Monday came, there ap-
peared but eleven jurors. Swanson was no
where to be found After a search the miss
ing man was taken into court the next day
by his host who said Swanson thought that
he was under arrest, and it had preyed upon
his mind. He was promptly excused. Some
time after a body found in Lake Minnetonka
was supposed to be that of Swanson, but the
latter was subsequently found at work on a
farm in the vicinity where he was employed.
Although never possessing a strong mind, his
experience with the court seems to have
preyed upon him, with the result that his
mind has gradually given way.
