MORGAN INCREASES HIS LEAD
Hueston Plays Mediocre Pool and Bu,
Poor CHANGE Of Winnin1

At the conclusion of play in the pool
match between Horgan and Hueston at
the Broadway last night. Eorgan was
eighty-seven points ahead of his opponent
He had an easy time increasing his lead
as Hueston played poor pool ana seemed TO
be bit ratified from the start
There remains another block of a hundred
points to be played tonight. and Horgan's
lead Is so great that Hueston has little or
no chance of catching him
The largest crowd OF the week was on
hand last night to witness the match and
Hueston was the favorite in the betting,

outpointed Morgan. being good enough to
give his adherents confidence in his ability
to win out. However. Hueston did not play
his game. SN'
He was sadly out of FORM and persisted
In taking hard chances when he did not
seem justified in SO doing. His penchant
for playing to the gallery hurt his chances
all through the match. At times he played
a remarkably fine game, and had he the
mature judgment of Horgan he would be

more brilliantly than at any ether stage

BROWNS HARD AT WORK.


Baton Rouge. La. March 19.-The weather
continues good and the st. Louis Browns
are taking every advantage offered for
training On account OF the practice hours
being changed to hot hours Of the day and
the long distance to Battle Park, there
were only few spectators on the grounds
to-day, but the lack Of an opportunity TO
make grand-stand plays has had no effect
upon the players
They are working with view to make
good in their league. and public favoritism
has no effect upon their actions upon the
field.
An exhibition game has been arranged to
be played next Monday between the Browns
and the State University team. which Is be-
ing looked forward to with much interest
on the part Of the fans. They do not ex-
pect a contest. but they want to see the
Browns play sure enough ball"
1t Is probable some Of McAleer's men will
play on the local team in order to more
equally divide the chances. The team has
only six more days here. as they are to leave

WHAT is O'BRIEN HELD FOR?
Desmond Says He Does Not Know
Why Arrest Was Made.

Detectives Williams and Crowell las,
night arrested a man who gave his name
as John OBrien. but refused to tell where
he lives. In their report to Chief Des-
mond, Williams and Crowell state that
they placed OBrein in the follower for
the Chief: on suspicion of larceny.
Chief of Detectives Desmond last night
stated that he knew nothing about the
case. in spite Of the fact that the police
report states that O. Brien was placed in the
instructions from this Office meaning his
own department.
Considerable mystery seemed to surround
the arrest of O'Brien and his refusal to tell
where he lived added to the unusual pro-
ceedings. From papers found In his pock-
cts. which the police refused to show, it Is
said, however. that his home is at CHM
