HIGH-CLASS POOL,

Frank Sherman. the well-known local pool
expert. has just returned from a trip
through the cities Of Virginia. He reports
a splendid trip. evdrybody treating him
very nicely and In addition he won almost
all his handicap ganSes. 1t was expected
that Sherman wpuIa DE one of the stars of

Kirkland is the only Washington player
left who expects to take part in the big
Brooklyn tournament Kirkland Is now To-
Gated at Scanlon's and during his practice
hours draws crowds around the table. He
is at the top Of his stroke and his friends
are confident that he will make a splendid
showing against the crack pool players Of
the country. Joe has a record of fifty-six
balls in one run, made against Frank Sher-
man in Baltimore, when the latter held the
lead by score of 65 to 3. This continuous
run demonstrated that Kirkland has the
nerve to meet the players with bigger repu-
tations. and as his work at present borders
on the marvellous his chances of getting in
side the prize money at Brooklyn are very
good,

STORM AT COPENHAGEN.
Ships in Harbor Sunk-Much Damage
Ashore.

A dispatch from Copenhagen dated De-
cember 26 says: The worst gale of many
years visited Denmark Christmas night
and this morning and has done enormous
damage to property and shipping. The tele-
graphic and railroad services have been in
terrupted and delayed. 1t is unsafe to walk
the streets of Copenhagen. owing to falling
tiles. Some streets were closed to traffic to
avert this danger. The hospital reports show
that several persons were killed and many
sustained injuries in the city. The pillars
holding up the overhead trolley lines were
blown down. and the street car service was
stopped. Many houses have been unroofed
and some mills and factories have been
partly destroyed.
The water in the sound rose suddenly
nearly as high as it did in the great flood
of 1872. Several ships dragged their an
chors and collided or were sunk III the outer
harbor. The ferry service between the
Danish Island and Sweden has been sus-
pended The gale was accompanied by

damage to property throughout Denmark
Many houses have been unroofed and

Capt. Tobiason. were drowned In the wreck

THREATENS BooKMAKERs.
Lichtenstein Defiant at Censure of His
Methods by Fellow Pencilers.


Sol Lichtenstein, the well-known eastern
bool1maker, declared war against the
Metropolitan Turf, Association, the or
ganization of layers in New York. at New
Orleans yesterday. He was very angry
when a committee Of his fellowmembers In
the NETS" headed by E. r. Thomas. pre-
scented him with copy of the order of that
organization.
The order prohibits any member from
using his membership in the association to
further his personal business. Sol, it is al
leged, has so advertised his membership In
order to further patronage and to bolster up
the claims and schemes of tipping bureau,
the commissions Of which firm he accepts.
Lichtenstein became angry when the no.
tice was served on him, and defiantly said
that If certain clique In the Metropolitan
Turf Association continued to haraSS him
and reflect on his method Of conducting his
business, he would secede to another asso-
cation of pencilers now in course of organi-
cation in New York.
Members of the NETS at New Orleans
say this is the beginning of a war that may
rupture their association, or at least give
birth to another organization Of layers. A
prominent member said
SOL was the backbone of the Nets when
they organized He has spent much money
and a great deal Of time to bring the asso-
citation UP to its present high point in the
affairs Of the turf. He has many friends
and followers in the association. and If he
wishes to precipitate a split In camp all he
has to do Is to say, Come, let us form a
new club and half Of the members will go
over to him in a body

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Only Two Favorites at Poor Odds in
Front

The racing at the Crescent City track,
New Orleans. yesterday afternoon was
marked by low and high tumblng of horses
and jockeys and more rough riding than Is
usually witnessed at the carnivals of sports
held by cowboys on the plains. AS a result,
Jockey Phillips was thrown and his collar:
bone fractured.
1t was during the rush for positions after
the start for the third race was made that
the accident occurred. Miss Knickerbocker,
away second in a field Of eleven, was
damned into the fence when the crush from
the flying wedge became greatest and
knocked down. Phillips shot out OF the sad
die and over the filly's head, hitting a fence
rail with great force. When picked up he
was unconscious, but soon rallied. An ex-
animation Of his body showed that all
bones, save collar-bone, were intact.
Miss Knickerbocker was not so fortunate
One Of her legs was SO badly broken that a
veterinary surgeon ordered her shot.
In the second race, Bedlam, while at the
post, reared just as the barrier flew upward
and threw his jockey, Crosswaite, on the
high platform where Starter Fitzgerald was
standing. Neither boy nor colt was injured
Backers of favorites were unable to cash
bet until the fifth and sixth races. Sarilla,

BRYAN TALKS TO MExIcANs.
Gives His Views as to Adoption o,
Gold Standard.

A dispatch from Mexico City yesterday
says: The papers all comment on the ar
rival of W. J. Bryan here. but 1t Is under
stood that his visit is merely one OF pleasure
and recreation. he being accompanied by
his wife and children.
Talking on the silver question. he said:
while India has suspended the coinage OF
silver she still uses silver as her money.
and England coins a large number Of rupees
annually for midas needs. If Mexico were
to adopt the gold standard. 4. would reduce
still further the price OF silver and IL Mex
leo, in spite OF being a large producer Of
silver, were to discard that metal as the
standard money 1t Is not improbable that
India and China might be led by the same
influences to do the same thing. While this
is only speculation. it is possibility that
must be considered: an addition of T00,000.-
Oo0 of people to the present go)d-using
population of the world would cause an
enormous demand for gold over and above
the present demand. No one can cstiinats

score Of % to 10. The local team was ap-

good use in the lively scrimmages. Both
teams did some very good playing, espe-
cially when passing the ball. Devhn was

playing that they knew the game to perfec-
