judgment that he exhibited here three years
ago. missing shots that he afterward ad-
mitted he had no business to miss. One
Iaiiure he characterized as the worst shot
he ever made. Notwithstanding that he
made some remarkable shots-shots that
caused the room to ring with cheers. One
shot was particularly noteworthy. Sher-
man had made careful break. All the
balls had been left in the bunch but one
that protruded from one corner. De Orc
from the lower rail made a two-cushion
bank combination shot that sent a ball
from the other corner into the corner
pocket ana pretty well opened the bunch.
He then quickly ran of the rest Of the
balls. Sherman not getting another shot
In that frame. Another four-ball combina-
ton kiss shot for . corner pocket was also
loudly cheered.
Sherman tried several intricate shots,
but was not SO successful as usual. He
played. however, steadily and easily from
by 30 to 170. In the first two frames he
made n balls to 8 for De Or0. At times
only 8 or Z points separated the two. but

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Close Decision Almost Caused
Riot.

There were riotous scenes after the finish

crowd surged around the grand stand and
called on the judges to take down the num-
ber Of horse that had been declared the
winner by the officials Every second che
demonstration grew stronger. c. s. Bush

Club. who also is the general manager. ad-

have no interest in the race. They are
thoroughly honest" -ss.ss u,
The crowd drowned the words that Mr..
Bush uttered by shouting "Robber,"
Thief" Give US our money back-you

used. Aboutsthis time IRA cl1 Detective Frank

tleton attempted to quell the disturbance
by arresting the man who started all the
trouble. The leader stood his ground and
refused to be arrested. He aimed blow

tied into the Judges stand by friends, made
his temperance. He got number of pol

was difference of over half a length from
the inside to the outside rail. His explana-
ton had good effect, and after about
twenty minutes of excitement the crowd
finally cooled down. s.a

Rulings Of Base Ball Commission.

hul1u&6 OF BASE Dali OOmul1SS1ous
The national base ball commission
through President Hermann, has handed
down several decisions. In the case of
Frank Corridor, pitcher, who was pur-
chased by the Chicago National team from
the Providence club of the Eastern League,
Providence was satisfied with a promise
from Chicago to pay the rest of $500 due
when Corridor reported in good physical
condition. Corridor was unable to play
last season because of sickness and Chi
cago therefore held back a portion of the
purchase price. The request of Q. s. Kis-
singer, pitcher of the Detroit club, for re-
lease from reservation was denied. He
failed to show that release from reservation
had been promised him, although there was
no reserve clause in his contract. His alle-
cation that he had verbal agreement that
he was not to be reserved was denied by
the Detroit officials. and so his reservation
stands, and he will be compelled to go to
Buffalo. where the Detroit club has traded
him.
AS American League contracts are with
out the reserve clause, the national commits
sion has decided that if a contract contains
no reserve clause a club may reserve q
player unless he can produce a written
agreement that he was not to be reserved
After December 15 a new rule goes into
force, under which all agreements releasing
player from reservation must be written
on the contract itself, and no written agree
ment offered by the player releasing him
from reservation will be considered unless
1t antedates December Is.
