this affect the value of the Standard

BILLIARDS BY TELEGRAPH.
McCreery of st. Louis Challenges Null
len of Cleveland to a Novel Match.

len of Cleveland to "a Novel Match.
Billiard games by telegraph are novelty
in the sporting world. although long-dis-
tance tournaments in chess and some other
sports are by no means new. If the plans
of Wayman c. McCreery. the champion
billiard amateur of ST. Louis can be carried
out, the first billiard competition by tele-
graph will be held next month between
McCreery and Martin Mullen of Cleveland.
McCreery was unable to play in the recent
class A tournament and, although very
anxious to meet Mullen, neither man can
take the time to meet the other in personal
encounter. Mullen won the class A cham
ponshp in 1895. but has not competed in
that event since. McCreery has played
Mullen three times and won two games,
and efforts have been made for the last
four weeks to arrange fourth game. Nc
Creery believes he has solved the problem
by challenging the Cleveland champion to a
game by telegraph and is now awaiting his
reply. The plan is for each man to begin
playing at the some moment, upon the
same size table. with the same weight
balls and all other particulars as nearly
identical as possible.
After spotting the balls each man is to
play until he misses, which will close his
inning. The balls will then be respected
and play continue as before until five in
nngs are finished. when the score of each
will be telegraphed to the other. There will
be a referee at each table, and an umpire
for the absent player. While there can be
no such thing as safety play in match
by telegraph, 1t is believed the games can
be so arranged to sustain a continuity
of interest. and provided the projected
match takes place and is successful, Nc
Creecy believes that intercity team billiard
contests could be managed on the same
principle.
McCreery has also stated that he will
be willing to play a game on the same
method with Champion Wilson P. Foss of

Press Association, has practically had
the management OF the bureau in his
hands. Most of his work has been in
the direction of furnishing Washington
and Alaska correspondence to Eastern
and Southern apers-sending from
80 to $50 letters per week. Mr.. Moore
is a conservative writer believing that
even less than the whole truth about
the advantages of the Pacific coast
states is much better than overstating
things. Among his latest contribu-
tions may be mentioned illustrated
articles on "The Climate OF Washing
ton, " 1.-THE Puget Sound Route to the
Orient and Alaska" and another on
"Puget Sound and Sound Cities. !"
The Bureau of Information has several
publications descriptive of the Great
Northwest--the latest a paper called
The New Northwest" 20, 900 copies,
"a pages. Its different publications
and other expenses, under the present
secretary, have aggregated matter of
$500 per month for nearly 20 months
"a total of about 5000. OF this
sum less than 5000 has come from the
general public-the bulk having been
provided by less than half dozen en-
terprising Seattle firms.
Chas. l.. Denny of the Denny Blaine
Land Co., and son of the old pioneer.
the late A. A. Denny, has been the
financial head of the bureau since June,
1899
The bureau desires the cooperation
of all the cities of the state for more
effective work, and is about to publish
a handsome album of 1000 views of
Washington and Alaska, to be placed
in public Libraries, hotels, railway
cars, and for distribution at the PAN
American exposition at Buffalo, May
to November, 1901. 1t is expected that
every section of the state will be rep
resented in this album.
The newspapers OF Washington, es-
pecially. should be- on good terms with
Secretary Moore and the bureau, and
through these every community should
be brought within the scope of the
good work OF the Bureau OF Informa-
ton.
1t may be mentioned in this conneo-
ton, for the convenience of Washing
ton newspaper men, that the Seattle
representative of the American Type

Hszing Abolished

West Point. n Y, Jan. 2l.-The con-
gressional investigation of the West Point
military academy has borne fruit rather
unex pectedly. When the congressneR
were hurying their inquiries to termin-
alton. the cadets of all four classes held =
meeting in Grant hall and unanimously
decided to abolish hazing of every form, AZ
well as the practice of calling OUT fourth
class mon This is exactly what General
Dick and other members of the congress-
ional committee have been trying to I'M
press on the cadets who have testified be
lore him as the only course open to them
if they desired to see the fair name of the
United States military academy unsulhed
and above reproach.
The communication was addressed to-
Superintendent A. l.. Mills, who returned
from Washington this afternoon, and he
quickly brought it to General Dick. The
committeeman are delighted at the &C
ton OF the cadets and General Dick, in .
few words, said that they would all go
back to the house of representatives be-
lieving that in spirit and letter the agree
ment would be firmly adhered to by the
cadets, who made it voluntarily.

Montana sherins Met.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 2l.-At its an

of Montana decided to ask the legislature
to make an appropriation not only for the
payment of their mileage for the past two
years, but to pay that for the years OF
1901 and 1902, as it accrues. There is also
no doubt that the association decided to
fight the proposal to repeal the law allow
ing sheriffs 10 cents a mile for transport
ing prisoners to the penitentiary and to
pay only actual expenses for such trips.
