CHASED BY THE COPPER
Yale Whist Players Had an Excit.
ing Time in New York Sat.
urday Night.

Nine members of the senior and junior
classes at Yale. who went to New Y ork
Saturday to play whist against Columbia;
had a more lively time than they expected
before they finally caught the midnight
train for New Haven They were chased
up Broadway by an alarmed hotel pro-
prietor and finally stopped by policeman
who emptied his revolver in the air.
1t was all because the students santed
to go home on the II O'Clock. train and
started for it so near the hour that it was
case Of. sprint or lose. . They missed.
After defeating Columbia in the after
noon, they continued playing whist in the
evening at the Victoria hotel, and We're
so interested that they did not notice the
time until 10:45. They got into their
overcoats in a jiffy and dashed pell nell
down the stairs. The last of them had
his OVercoat tucked under his arm and it
looked as of he was concealing something.
The proprietor of the Victoria was sure
his house was being robbed and Shouted
after the fleeing students. - The porter
took up the cry and started after them.
Others fell in to his wake and gave VOL
ume to the shouting. Finally a patrol
man drew his revolver and began shoot
ing in the air. Then and not until then
did the card players STOP. The porter and
policemen rounded them up and led them
back to the hotel. It took but a minute
to explain and there was no end of apollo
gies. Meantime however, the IL, O'clock
express was. whistling for Mount Vernon.
i Teams representing the st. Paul and
Minneapolis Whist clubs played q match

the Minneapolis Whist club for the north:

Senator Dave Nelson is drawing ur5 a
boxing law for Missouri, the main fea ture
of which, will be the prohibiting of Chi
cago fighters from engaging in any bouts
in Missouri.
Nelson was formerly the official an
nouncer Of the West End Boxing club Of
ST. Louis, and is we'll known about the
race tracks. He claims that the Chicago
fighters are crooked, and that they
should be barred from the state of Mis-
souri,.
IT know how crooked these Chicagoans
are says Nelson.
my boxing bill is being rapidly drawn
up, and It's leading feature will be the
scratching Of Chicago fighters for set-tos
here, or any place in the state.
my measure is being patterned after
the famous old Horton bill, SO popular in
New York

er they are delegates or not. The COM
merits on the report of the rules commit

stated that new rule 8, reading: If the
ball fall or be knocked off the tee in adj
dressing it, no penalty shall be incurred
and 1t may be replaced, and if struck
while moving no penalty shall be in
cured is wholly adopted by the Ameri-
can committee.
Old rule 3 is omitted in the new code,

and the following new rules, which clear
away the former Inconsistencies, are sub
stituted.

to make a stroke, or his partner, or either
Of their caddies, move his or their ball,
or by touching anything cause it to move

it, he shall be deemed to have caused
it to move and the movement shall be
counted as his stroke. i !,
'27-Except from the tee a player shall
not play while his ball is moving, under
penalty of the loss of the hole. If the ball
only begins to move while the player is
making his upward or downward swing,
he shall incur no penalty for playing while
it is moving, but is not exempted from
the penalty stroke which he may have in
CURED under rules 9, II or 26, and in a
foursome a stroke lost under rule 26
| shall not, in those circumstances, be
| counted as the stroke of the player so as
| to render him liable for having played out

ing his downward or upward swing a pen

BASEBALL NOTES.

Cheshire is the highest saIaried pitcher in the
business with his alleged $1,000 stipend from
the New York Americans.
The fact that Garry Hermann of Cincinnati,
was once a printers devil shows that he comes
rightly by his power to boss things.
John NJ. Ward, the former great National
League sbortstop and New York manager, is said
to have income of $4,000 year from his
law practice.
President johnson declares that his organiza-
tion has idea of going into Buffalo, once
discarded city. He says that New York is the
only city in the east that will be added to the
circuit.
The operation upon Lajoe for pleurisy with
effusion has confined that great player to his
bed and his doctors now think he will be lucky
to play by June 10. Hard luck for Cleve-
land.
Willie Keller coaching the Harvard baseball
squad in batting, and Jack Chesbro giving points
to the pitchers, the crimson should have good
chance for the championship.

WRESTLING

Charles Moth and o. NJ. Nelson. the heavy
weight Wrestlers, finished their training to-day
for the match tomorrow night at Century hall.
Nelson, after week Of hard work on the road,
supplemented by light exercise with the dumb
bells: and weights, is in Hne trim, while Moth,
who has been wrestling at the Minneapolis
Athletic Club. is hard as a rock. Moth will
enter the ring weighing about $50 pounds, while
Nelson will tip the scales at about 100 pounds
more than that figure. This will be big
handicap for the German to overcome but he
relies upon his long experience upon the mat
to Offset Nelson's greater weight.
Ministers, Lawyers, Teachers, and 9th
ers, whose occupation gives but little ex

Pills for torpid liver and biliousness. One

Minneapolis, st. Paul and Kansas City
will be represented from the far. west.
The Chicago teams that will compete
are putting in their best whacks at the
pins every day to get in shape. The SEN
sational event of the week was the break
ing Of the worlds record by the Gunthers
on the alleys Of Captains Anson Arson
feels very proud of the event and will very
likely receive the Western Bowlers' Jour
nal prize of $25 for the month. The team
will receive the FIVE diamond medals Of
fered by w. p. Mussey to the Chicago
team that would break the record. In
addition, Captain Arson gives each a good
watch charm, and they stand good show
of winning the 500 prize for high league
game Of the year offered by the Western
Bowlers Journal.
1t is evident that the score made by the
Montgomeries of Newark. N. J., does not
stand as a record, and even If it did the
Gunthers still have them beaten by a good
majority. The claim Of a score of l, 165
made by the team at Humboldt Iowa,
has. not been pushed and it is believed
that it was not made according to- re-
quired rules. So 1t stands that the score
to be beaten was that of 1,103 made by
the empires Of New York city, which
they have held for so long.
