COMING CHAMPION.
Joseph Kirkland's Pool Playing Causes
Comment in New York.

From the New York Telegraph.
Joseph kirkland. a nineteen-year-
player in the pool tournament now being
conducted in Greenes rooms, in the Mon
tauk Theater, Brooklyn, Is the latest youth
full player to excite comment. There is
really nothing phenomenal about his play
ing, but in view Of his age, and therefore
limited experience, old pool players all over
the city today are speaking extremely well
of him. Kirkland Is champion of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and the other night, by
defeating William Wenrick, champion of
Manhattan. he placed himself prominently
in the list of pool champion possibilities.
Wenrick, known all over pool-playing
United States as ''the Broadway cham
pion. is one of the best trial horses" that
ever handled cue. He has participated In
games without number. and has achieved a
national reputation as cool. careful player.
Earlier in the Brooklyn tournament he
caused the downfall of some of the best
men In the entry list by celebrating long
and carefully over each play. Kirkland,
however, sat on the edge of the table while
this past master of pool coOlly sized up each
play and tried to get the Washington boy
into state of nervous Impotence. The lat
ter looked on In silence and never once gave
sign of being annoyed. Wenrick's tactics
failed completely, and at the end of game
was beaten by score of 125 to 10S. Wenrcks
surprise is deep. but he congratulates the
man he calls 'youngster." and agrees with
his fellow players that the Washington boy
Is slated to haul down the colors of many
"sharps."

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Three Favorites and Three Outsiders
Win Purses

There was touch of the wild and
woolly' west at the Crescent City track.
New Orleans, yesterday afternoon that
lent color and incident to the races. Nearly
a hundred cowboys" members of the Ma
tlonal Live Stock Association, paid a visit
to the course and "whooped things I'M, in
bright and breezy manner, typical OF
the freedom OF the plains
Many OF the busters were CARRIED II,
flaming red mackinaw shirts, leather irons
ers and sombreros. Strapped to their sides
were the guns SO dear to herdsmen's
hearts. A number of them witnessed the
first thoroughbred horse race of their lives.
and they shouted like schoolboys out on a
frolic when the animals dashed madly
through the stretch. All of them were
plentifully supplied with so gold pieces
and they scattered them in the ring In bets
on their favorftes with the utter neeli-
gence of nabobs.
The six events were divided between three
fayorites and three long Shots
Criterion, the colt that won many a big
bet for Billy Barrtck last season. broke
down badly in the second event and wifi
probably never race again. Frank Kenney,
who won the race. was bid up from 800
to $500 and sold to A D. Bertherune In the
fourth race Lord Neville fell. but fortunate
ly neither jockey nor horse was injured.
When he jumped up he ran away six
miles.
Edward Corrigan has purchased the Eng
lish horse Corbett's Boy from Albert Sim
ons. This horse Enoch Wishard bought for
John A. Drake and brought him to this
country. Through his veins runs some of
the best thoroughbred blood in Great Brit
ain.

FORMER VICTORIOUS

There has been considerable rivalry be-
tween the District and Departmental bowl
ing leagues, each claiming the star play
ers OF the local field. Last night the Com
missioners and Golden Eagles teams got
together for series of three games, and a
missionrs and Golden Eagles teams got
the first and second games. but the Com
missioners put on steam in the third and
won out by a margin Of thirteen pins.
Each team had a large following present
at the match and the excellent work by
the different men called forth unstinted
praise and applause.
Bob Barr worked like q Trojan for the
Commissioners team. and as a result hung
up the remarkable score of 243 in the last
game. the best figures Of the evening.
Eiker Of the Eagles did the best work for
his team. getting over the 200 mark twice,
his best score being 217.
A remarkable thing in connection with
the match was that five of the six scores
were over the 900 mark, the Commissioners
getting SEQ in the first game.
These matches between leagues are very
beneficial to the game, creating lots of talk,
and as all connected with the sport are on
the best of terms the enthusiasm is at all
times very great and exceptional bowling

| almost half over. ad4 during the forty-nve
days the meeting 4as been run all kinds Of
weather have been furnished, but notwith-
| standing that fact the players have held
their own with the layers. and there have
been no sensational winnings or losings re-
corded. as has been the case in other years.
The bookmakers have only held their own.
! and there is not a lanciler on the line whose
sheets can show that he has won any great
amount in excess Of his natural percentage,
and none Of the Ihig betters have won
amounts that mAke them conspicuous
among their followers.
Charles Ellison can be counted among the
| list of winners but $4,000 or $40 600 will
cover the amount Thai he is to the good.
The biggest losings have been on his own
| horse, Bard Of Avon. He has bet on the
| colt when he lost. and did not have q dollar
| on him when he won at 30 to 1. When Bard
| Of Avon scored he was run UP by w. C..
Caps to 81, 100. and Ellison protected him,
but would be willing to sell him for half that
price now.
Joe Ullman celebrated his return to the
turf as an owner by winning with Lady
Walter, but 1t is doubtful IL she was the
best OF the babies" In the race. Corrigan's
Salto a son of ReQuital and Industry, left
the best impression.
A correct line cannot be formed on the
field which started Saturday from the fact
that half the field did not know what was
expected and they might just as well have
been left at the post. The first stake event
for the youngsters will be run January %.

fast many OF the reputed top-notchers

will be seen with the colors up.

BALL
Although only In force since January 1,
the players abroad are already picking out
flaws In the new rules. SO 1t is evident our
committee will not lack for material In
their labors to Interpret the CODE Horace
Hutchinson. for instance. who was one of
the st. Andrews rules committee. in an
article in the Westminster Review. points
out an absurdity In new rule IA. He writes:
The first clause says that If ball lie
or be lost In casual water through the
green, ball may be dropped without pen
atty either directly behind or at the side Of
the casual water nearest to which 1t lies.
but not nearer the hole" The third clause
says. IF ball lie or be lost in casual water
On a putting green, ball may be placed
by hand behind the water without a pen
atty" That being so, let us suppose the
case OF sheet Of casual water stretching
from within ten yards of the hole to fifty
yards away from 1t. Then. by the operation
OF these two respective clauses, IL a man
get into this water within twelve yards of
the hole. he Is. 1 suppose. in casual water
on the putting green. and under clause
mas to go back behind the sheet of water
and there place his ball by hand. whereas
his opponent, whom we suppose to have
gone into the same sheet Of water. but
distance OF twenty-one yards from the hole,
Is permitted to bring his ball out to the
side, under clause 1-being on casual water
through the greenland there drop it; the
conclusion Of the matter being that the
player who originally was within twelve
yards OF the hole has to play for distance
of sixty yards, and has to loft over water
al! the way up to the hole, whereas the
other who was twenty-one yards away, still
plays from his twenty-one yards, and has
dry put up. To penalize a man with this
terrible penalty for getting his ball nearer
the hole seems not quite in accordance with
the true spirit Of the game.
This Is one Of the nuts our committee
must crack in its interpretations, especially
as the conditions to be supposed Is probably
more likely to occur here than abroad, for
instance. at Glenview. in flooded season.
