MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. 22.-The
most wonderful billiard player in the
world is George II. Sutton of Milwaukee
While he is one of the dozen brilliant
players of the age, this fact is more re-
markable because Sutton has no hands
with which to hold the cue. That he Is
capable of doing things that few others
who have both hands can do is proved in
every shot he makes With almost light
ming rapidity he plays; chalks the cue,
scores and makes spectacular position
shots At straight rail, three-ball billiards
he is like Jake Schaefer, can play all
night without missing a shot.
Sutton's knowledge of the game is equal
almost to that of Schaefers. In delicacy
of touch, nursing the balls, and judgment,
this armless wonder is not excelled even
by the wizard. He is not specialist in
s9ny one shot; carom, masse, rail shot,
Draw, follow, drives and the Frank Ives
Vdead-ball shot are all superbly played.
When the cue ball is close to the rail
Sutton rests the cue across his left elbow
joint and holds the butt in the right ell
bow joint. In all other shots he holds
the cue with the stumps of arms, which
are six or seven inches long.
When making a masse he allows the
cue to rest on his shoulder, holding near
the point of the cut with his stumps
Generally he rests the cue on a bridge,
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1903-12-22

or on the rail of the table. When the cue
ball is some distance from where he
stands, the bridge and handle lie on the
table With the cue ball near the rail he
raises one foot, rests the bridge handle or
cue on his elevated knees, and with one
foot on the floor stands as solidly as
statue.
The way he removes the bridge from
the table after a shot in order to avoid
fouls is amusing, most people feeling GER
tain that one of the balls will hit it, but
this never happens
A prominent New York physician who
saw Sutton playing at Maurice Days last
March and became deeply interested in
him. remarked
ellis development is a clear case of evo-
luton. He had to adapt himself to the
conditions resulting from the loss of his
hands, and his shoulders and back have
grown to favor the use of the stumps."
The handless expert has run over 100
at l4-inch balk line and averaged l6 in 400
points at the same style of play. He has
been playing little over four years, hav-
ing been attracted to the game through
curiosity, just to see what he could do
at it.

Toledo. He is %. While visiting saw

GREAT DEER SHOOTING
IN OTTAWA VALLEY

OTTAWA, Dec. 2l.--The Ottawa valley
is one of the best hunting grounds in
America and one of the healthiest. Well
posted Americans know of the good sport
to be obtained and they come over every
fall and rarely fail to go home with as
many deer as the Quebec and Ontario
laws allow.
The Gatineau valley, just north of OF
tawa, on the Quebec side of the Ottawa
river, is another sportsman's paradise, and
it yields a rich harvest of big game.
To show the success of the compare
lively small number of hunters who visit
these hunting grounds, figures may be
quoted. The number of deer shot by
hunters in Ontario this autumn was near
ly 5000 and the number in Quebec was
nearly as large.
So far as the authorities know, at least
10000 deer were killed during the season.
Of the number of human beings, COWS and
other domesticated animals shot, the game
wardens kept no record, but it was not
large.
Not a few bears were killed, one Of
tawa party shooting three. Hunters have
found by experience that there is little use
in trying to hunt bears by tracking them,
and the only occasions they secure bruins
hide is when he thoughtlessly crosses their
path.
OF small game, squirrels, partridge, wild
duck and rabbits, there is an abundance,
but the hunters rarely trouble them until
they have the two deer that the laws
allow.
The Ontario deer season opens Novem-
Der l and closes November 10, and the
Quebec season opens October land closes
December 10. Ontario is patronized more
by sportsmen, as the localities are more
easy of access by rail than are those of
Quebec, but in the latter province deel
are more plentiful
The grounds are frequented by Indians
and trappers, whose services may be en-
gagged by the use of greenbacks.
The deer are not being exterminated and
more are being shot each year. The gov
eminent employs game wardens, whose
business it is to see that the game is pre-
served Indians are permitted to shoot
deer all the year round, but are not al
lowed to sell the venison.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-When Mrs An
drew p. Carter, formerly the beautiful
Pauline Gray of Georgia, secured a Da-
kota divorce and placed her S-year-old son
in military school, she did not dream
of the sensations denouement involving
the names of Colonel A. A. Pope, the mill
ionaire bicycle and automobile manufac-
turer; Major General Dan Sickles, the
hero of many battle6elds and w. Preston
Harrison, brother of Chicago's mayor, but
these men have been named by her ex-
husband in an affidavit filed in Chatta-
nooga court. as reasons why she should
not obtain possession of the boy
Mrs. Carter thought herself safe after
she had placed the boy in school and
secured her separation. Suddenly she was
informed that the father had spirited her
son to Tennessee. out of the jurisdiction
of the New York courts. Then began a
battle in the Tennessee courts; and just
as the eX-husband seemed to be winning,
Mrs. Carriers attorneys executed a flank
movement by applying to the courts of
New York for an absolute divorce and
custody of her child Her grounds were
statutory, and she named several promi-
nent women in the case. A restraining
order was granted, holding the case in
annoyance untl the New 1ork courts de-
eide the divorce proceedings.

DR.. SARGENT INYENTS
A NEW STRENGTH TEST
Likely to Revolutionize Ath-
letic Development.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 30-Dr. Dud-
ley A. Sargent. director Of the Hemen-
way Gymnasium at Harvard. and one
Of the best known physical authorities
il the country has JUST completed q
new and original strength test. which
Will be put into optional use al the
Harvard gymnasium, and promises be
fore long TO Teyolutionize modern meth
DDS of athletic development. The
strength machine has one fundamental
principle, the substitution of speed and
endurance for mere brute force. It also
possesses advantages over the old meth
Cd in that The athlete needs no expensive
apparatus. and can work out his own
development, if need be, in his OVID
room.
Under the old scheme costly dynamo
meters and expensive instruments were
reeded to register the athletes strength
and to tell his progress. The need of
these instruments restricted the use of
the strength TO only such colleges as
could afford them; and made univer-
sal adoption Of a strength test system
impossible. Dr. Sargent claims the old
test did not test the heart and lungs
sufficiently. and by its dependence upon
the strength OF small groups o. muscles
made the danger of straining very great.
He also holds that the necessity of hold
ing ones breath IN the old system IS
extremely dangerous. inasmuch as ii
causes increased blood pressure.

THE GAMBLING FEVER

Gambling is a thing that has proved
the downfall OF many a player and team.

offender, but frankly admits that man

LOTUS WILL SERVE
ON RULES COMMITTEE
Meeting Most Likely to Be
Held in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-President johnson
yesterday appointed the American
League representatives on both the
rules and schedule committees, and it is
probable that they will confer next week
with similar committeeman from the
National League here next week
The American League leader named
three men, who will serve on both COM
mittees, as follows: Benjamin Shibe. of
Philadelphia; T. J. LOTUS. Of Washing
ton, and John Bruce, of St. Louis.
Owing to his illness and for other rea-
sons President Johnson has decided not
to serve on either OF the committees. but
he viii draft the American League
schedule for his committee. and these
dates viii be presented to the Joint con-
ference between the representatives Of
both leagues
While no date has as yet been set, It
is likely that the representatives will
gather during the coming week. and. as
most of the men are Westerners. it IS
more than likely that the conference VIII
be held here in Chicago.
President Hart stated today that the
National League was simply awaiting
The appointment Of committees Of the
American League, and, now that both
organizations have named their repre-
sentatives, it is supposed that no time
will be lost in getting together.
President Johnson was still better to-
day. and again predicted that he would
visit his Office soon
The date for the American Leagues
annual meeIing is not yet definitely set
tied, but Johnson said that # would be
held in New York late in February. and
that he wound probably not 90 TO New
York until then.
