BIG POOL TOURNEY.
Kirkland Meets Stofft Tonight in
Openine Game.

'All or nothing was the demand Of sew
eral contestants in the sweepstakes pool
tournament to be held In Brooklyn, when
the matter of division Of prize money was
brought up for discussion at meeting Of
the players held yesterday afternoon in
that city. Later. when 1t was explained
that several Of the players had come from
long distances and would have to pay added
expenses for the three weeks Of the tour
ney. it was agreed to divide the money.
The prize money of $225 in entrance fees
and 800 added by Green viii be divided
$175 to the winner and 500. SO and $50 in
three other prizes. Harry Schroeder, who
was referee in the worlds championship
tourney held last spring, was selected from
long list Of names presented to act in the
coming event. .
All the rules with changes made for the
championship contest were adopted. The
time for the first game was fixed at pm
sharp. with fifteen minutes intermission be-
tween the first and second games. A for
fixture In one game means the forfeiture in
all played, and any suspicion of dishonesty
in game permits the referee and promoter
to bar any player from prize money and
further competitor.
H p Stofft champion of the west and

ARMY-NAvY FOOT BALL.
Representatives Of West Point and An
napolis Fail to Agree.


A meeting of the athletic representatives
Of West Point and Annapolis. held here
Saturday for the purpose Of arranging the
details Of the annual foot ball games be-
tween the two institutions and the adop-
ton Of an eligibility rule, failed to effect
an agreement. It was found that the Diff
ferences were too wide to bridge over. An
other conference will be held at some fu-
ture date. The subject which caused the
breach was the age limit for entrance to
West Point. It was alleged by the Annap-
oils representatives that this permits foot
ball and other athletes to enter the Mill
tary Academy who would be too old for
admission to Annapolis. West Point thus
getting the services OF men already trained
In athletics. This the navy people think un-
fair. A number Of other propositions were
submitted by both sides, upon which no
agreement was reached.
A special dispatch from Annapolis says:
Commanders Colahan and Halsey and
Lieut.. Poyer the naval subcommittee who
went to Washington to meet an army com
mittee and adopt rules for next seasons
foot ball game, returned home Saturday
night. They say that nothing was agreed
upon. except the continuing Of the annual
game. and each committee carried back
with 1t set Of rules to lay before its asso-
citation. No further meetings were ar
ranged, but the final agreements will be
made by letter. The navy people are
system. and it Is likely that this and the
army's proposition to play the game earlier
than last falls were the cause Of no agree
ment being reached. AS the situation now
stands the army has tremendous advan-
tage on account of the navy's young age
limit. and 1t Is not at all improbable that
unless the West Pointers agree to the eligi-
bility rule the games will be discontinued.

of 10 to G. Four men on each team consti-
tuted the teams, which consisted Of the fol-
lowing: Columbia-Messrs. Eugene Pitou
(captain), Arnold, Gearin and Wetherol.
Navy-Midshipmen Richard D. Gatewood
(captain). Stephen C. Rowan, George A.
Radford and r. Rodgers Riggs.
The Columbia men are old and expert
enced fencers, while the navy had an en-
tirely new set. The middies. however,
showed up splendidly and gave their eppo-
nentS stiff fight-in fact, much closer than
the score would indicate for victory by
one or the other by a single point occurred
In almost every event. OF the first sixteen
bounts Columbia got eight. the Navy six
and two were ties-the fourth. between
Riggs and Wetherol, and the twelfth. be-
tween Radford and Pitou. At the end of
the series it was decided to break the ties.
and both events went to Columbia. Cap
tain Gatewood was the star performer of
the contest and led all the contestants with
a clean record, which was not equaled by
any other man. Rowan was the second
two defeats. but the others were badly out
classed. The prettiest and quickest of Co
lumbia's fencers was Arnold, who was
probably the best of the visitors, though
very little ahead OF Gearin.
The results of the different bouts were as
follows the score following each being the
number of touches or points made by each:
No. 1-Gatewood Navy won from Pitou

From a business standpoint it Is consid-

a racer Of Volodyovskis admitted class as
a three-year-old should have gone through
his four-year- career without having
earned at least one bracket, but such was
his destiny.
In addition to the Derby of 1901 volody-

would have done so but for being badly in

in 1902 against the best horses in England,
