PR1NcEroN's COACH.
A. R. T. Hillebrand Will Care for the
Base and Football Teams.

Princeton. n. J., Dec 12-The announce
ment has been made that a. r. T. Hille-
brand Princeton's famous athlete, will
coach the baseball team next spring and
the football team in the fall This en-
gagement puts Hillebrand practically at
the head of athletics at Princeton and
everybody here is glad of it.
He viii be here from the beginning to
the end of the season, and this circum-
stance it is thought, almost insures an
extraordinary strong eleven next fall, for
fifteen of the eighteen men who played
against Yale will be back For the last
three seasons Hillebrand has coached the
Annapolis "Middies, and has turned out
strong teams. He has had charge of
Princeton's baseball interests for the last
two years.
Hillebrand was graduated from the uni
versity in 1900 and is regarded as the best
all around athlete that ever went out
from Princeton He played tackle on the
eleven and pitched for the nine. He was
captain of both teams, and each was
victorious over Yale.

Seems to be a sort of ckel-Dlated
affair." was the reply. Let's all smoke
with it, and he passed out some cigars.
But the truth was not to be concealed.
Mr. Scott really looked as if he would
like to give an alarm of fire from the
red box on the corner. But there were
fifty policemen present to see that the
programme was carried out Lieut.
Campbell, of the Sixteenth district was
bossing their work.
Half a dozen boys who had volunteered
to throw the oil on the fire from buckets
found the job a profitable one. AS the
machines were dumped from the trucks
many of them were broken, and the
nickels rolled out in profusion. The boys
got them. The money that was taken
from the machines at the time they were
confiscated was given to District Attorney
Weaver who gave it to the county treas
urer.
Its a crying shame to burn up that
beautiful furniture said near-sighted
woman who stood in the crowd.
Many of the machines were beautiful in
design and workmanship. A man who had
been dealer in them pointed to each one
mournfully it was thrown on the blaz-
ing heap, from which the flames at one
time leaped twenty five feet high.
THAT one cost $780," he said, as he point
ed TO a beautiful mahogany case. highly
polished and hand-carved. The mechan-
ism in the boxes was intricate, much
more so than any spectator supposed, as
the works were revealed to view.
The machines destroyed represented
only fraction of those confiscated by the
police and the Law and Order society in
the last two years. Prior to that time
they had fourished openly and earned
small fortunes for their owners.
In the places where they were kept men
and boys We'd with each other for the
privilege of playing them. and few of
the nickeIs and pennies dropped into the
slot ever found their way back to the
pockets of the gamblers. The principle
on which the devices were built made it
almost impossible to win from them.
