THE POOL TOURNAMENT.

Boston, Feb 22.-H. r. Stofft of Cleveland sprung quite q surprise in his match last night with William Clearwater of Pittsburg by defeating the latter by q score of 15O to 12T. It was q close and interesting game from the start and up to the last three frames there was plenty of Clearwater money in sight. The Cleveland man played a brilliant game, while Clear water was nervous and seemed to be working hard. He constantly tied him. self up when he had a good chance to run off the entire fifteen. His po- sition game was poor and combined with that he missed number of easy shots. Stofft played brilliant pool. He was very careful, played fine position and his safety game was superb

George w. Dorntee, ex-member of the L. 4. W. racing board, has invent ed very neat steam boiler for use in automobiles.
 Clint Coulter, the famous unpaced rider, was killed in a railroad acci- dent at Fresno, Cal. Monday Coulter was on the national track team in '9S.
 Chairman A. c. Batchelder of the \. C. A. board of control is taking a much-needed rest at Atlantic City, where he has been revising the racing rules.
 There is sharp contest on between Henry F. Ducker and William J. Corcoran of Boston for the manage ment of the cycle races at the Pan American exposition.
 McDuffee is building himself two four-horse power pacing tandems for his seasons campaign. Peter Berlo will build the frames after N1cDuffee's own ideas. He has forsaken steam and will use the gasoline air-cooled motors.
 The racing men are beginning to think of swearing off and beginning training. Those who can afford it will go south, but the majority will take light exercise until the snow is off the tracks and the weather warm enough to begin breaking in saddles.
 The middle-distance riders will be- gin their work at Jacksonville about March 1. Nat Butler is doing some running and other work in the Cam bridgeport gym with brother Tom. Will Stinson will begin road work as soon as the snow is off the ground.
 In addition to Tom Butler Frank Waller will have Lester Wilson and Louis Gimm as pace followers this year. Gimm is going to try the paced game. but will not stick to it unless he finds he has lis former speed. This is the most ambitious plan Waller has yet evolved.
 Judging from the report of Consul General King. who writes from Bang kok, Siam, the foreign markets are still an inviting field worthy the at tention of American manufacturers. MT King reports that the king, the roy al family and nearly the entire we'll to-do class are becoming devoted to the wheel. He says the king rides an American bicycle and it is no uncom-
 mon thing to see the ministers of the government coming and going on their wheels.

WHEN BABY IS SICK.
Valuable Hints for Young Mothe rs Who Have No Experience in the
 Rearing of Children,

A baby's cry should be to the intelli-
 ent mother the best index to it's phy- sical condition. The healthy baby cries very loudly and in lusty. ex- plosive, angry manner, and the tears flow freely. The sick baby. or the one on the verge of sickness, cries peev- ishly or whines in low tone.
 Watch the manner in which the baby takes its food. If it is perfectly well it will attack the bottle greedily and will express its satisfaction much in the same manner as any other young snckling animal-that is, by soft and inarticulate noises or grunts. If, on the other hand, the baby con templates its food before touching it, or after tasting turns from it, be sure there is something wrong.
 Watch the baby closely while it sleeps. If it is in perfect health the skin will be moist, the lips damp and scarlet. the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet pink. The eyelids will be completely closed and there will be no twitching of the muscles about the mouth or nose, or eyes. Save for a faint rhythmic sound of breathing the healthy baby when asleep will be as still as piece of carved marble.
 If the baby smiles in it's sleep, if it throws out it's little hands and feet with swift, spasmodic motions; if the eyes are only half closed, the corners of the mouth drawn down, the breath ing irregular or labored, the face flushed and the head hot, then lose no time in calling in the family physi- cian.-St. Louis Republic.

 Meriden will try hard tonight to take the game away from Waterbury for a victory over here would mean much for the Silver citys. The home players have no intention, however, of losing this game and the facts in the matter will be made very clear to- night. A big crowd should be in at tendance and witness some fast polo.

 Instead of a padded floor, the hard boards were covered with several inch es of horse bedding.
 The principals were Jack Leslie, who, when the Fair Play and Olympic clubs were in their prime, appeared in the preliminarieS, and Joe Frisco, the recognized champion of the Cincinnati gymnasium. The gloves used did not weigh more than three ounces.
 Leslie agreed to stop Frisco in four rounds. Considerable money was wagered on the result.
 The battle was short and sweet. After two minutes of ;slugging in the opening round Leslie feinted Frisco into a lead and then swung his right on the jaw, sending him to the floor. He was counted out, but recovered shortly afterward.
 Another fight has been arranged be- tween the men, who are feather weights, to take place at California, o. This is to be with bare fists.

Keeping the cell.r sweet.

When cellars become musty or foul odors are noticed, the best thing o do is to close all the doors and windows and burn enough sulphur to fill the cellar room with dense fumes. Leave it closed for an hour or two, and then open the doors and windows. Next whitewash the walls and ceiling with two coats of good whitewash. Sulphur gas is heavy and settles: hence care must be used to agitate the air in the cellar by selecting windy day for the york Sulphur fsspes VIII ptrox III

It has been announced by President Ban Johnson that the schedule meet ing of the American league will not be held until March 2O1 and that the club owners will convene ilt Phiiade-
 phia. This means that if the Nation al league adopts and pronulgates schedule next week, Johnson will have plenty of time to avoid conflicting dates. In other words. it is Johnson's plan to keep the National league guess ing as long as possible. If the Ma
 tional league men keep their schedule
 a secret, however. Johnson will be in
 q Quandary. It appears to be now q
 case of fine politics on both sides. with
 the National league compelled to make

 the business partner of A. J. Reach.

 of that city. Reach's partner in base
 ball is John I. Rogers, who has shown
 particular hostility to the Johnson or

 owner of the Philadelphia ball club,
 Reach holding only q small block of
 stock. Whether Reach is financially interested in the American league club remains to be seen. (. w. SOmerS is in Boston, where he is making arrange
 ments to rush the work on the Hunt ingtOn avenue grounds. In an inter- view Somers says that. peace or no peace. Boston will remain in the Amer ican league circuit and that $4o,OoO | will be spent to put hs plant in work ing order. President Soden of the
 Boston National league club, is quoted as saying that he does not believe the American association should have been | allowed to enter the Hub and that. as to the location of grounds, the Ameri-
 can league has big advantage over Irwin's Charles River park over in Cambridge As Ball Player Clarke has found it q most difficult task to get the Association movement under
