NATIONAL BILLIARD TOURNEY.
Eastern Stars Not Likely to Take Part
in the Competition.

The tournament committee of the Chicago
Athletic Club. under whose auspices the ma
tjonal amateur billiard championship will
be decided. is working hard to make the
affair success. Unfortunately for their
plans there seems to be little chance that
the eastern stars will take part in the COM
petition. Hardly any of the men who could
be counted upon to show prominently in
such a contest have given direct assur-
ances that they will compete. Few, IL any,
have been able to decide whether IL will
be convenient for them to visit Chicago
and lose the time that will be occupied in
deciding the championship.
The committee, however, is not at all
worried over the possible absence of Foss,
Poggenburg. Gardner and the other east
ern stars. While their participation would
be welcomed, it is felt that complete rep
resentation of eastern cue experts would
almost certainly result in the retention OF
the championship in New York
A victory by a western player, 1t is be-
lieyed would give much needed impetus to
the game west of the Alleghenies The
amateurs in and around the metropolis have
carried off the honors SO long that attempts
| to defeat them have been regarded as so
much time wasted. If Foss of New York
and Mullin of Cleveland do not compete the
AFFAIR Will appear more open and the chance
of western success brighter than for a
long time. Colonel L. M. Hamburger. chair
man of the clubs committee, is of the
part in the tourney. which will begin on
January 30 This number would require
forty or forty-five games to decide the
winner.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Lady Fonso Scored Her Fourth
Straight Victory.

Despite the threatening weather, there
was crowd OF holiday proportions at the
New Orleans track yesterday. 1t was
good betting crowd, and speculation was of
the ltveliest character. The six furlong
handicap furnished one Of the few exciting
contests decided at the present meeting
Dick Bernard and Frontenac fighting it out
for an eighth Of mile Bernard winning by
short head on the post.
The winner was the betting choice, despite
the fact that Astarita beat him handily
several days ago The excuse made for
Bernard in that raceswas that he was I'M
able to do any work owing to the bad condi-
ton Of the track. That race evidently did
him good, for he grabbed Astarita at the
head of the stretch and made her quit.
Half way home Frontenac came with q
rush, and II was nip and tuck to the fin
ishfnE line.
Lady Fonso, q mare who has changed
owners several times since the present
meeting began, made 1t four straight VIC
tories in the mile and an eighth selling
affair, the third on the card. The books,
under the impression that Lady Fonso's
weight would stop her, laid the long price
of s to / against her, making Arumaster
the favorite. The latter was never seri-
Gus contender. Lady Fonso waited on the
pacemakers to the last turn. when she drew
away and won in romp by half dozen
lengths.
In the mile and a quarter affair Brooklyn,
Homestead and Bessie Mccarthy were the
betting choices, there being very little diff
ference between them as far as prices were
concerned when they went to the Iost.
Homestead. with flying start, opened a
gap OF four lengths, which he maintained
to the turn for home. when Brooklyn
caught him and had things his own way
afterward. Bessie Mccarthy. outrtin f,r a
MILE closed fast in the stretch and secured
the place easily.
Little Jack Horner managed to last long
enough in the second to win driven out by
a half length from Miladi Love. The irst
race furnished surprise when Siss Lee,
at 8 to /, finished first easily from Cas-
come. The favorite, Fruit, was third. Jake
Greenberg, the favorite in the last race,

INfERsCHoLAsTIC GAMES.
Manager Foley Has Arranged for Four
Relay Races.

Preliminary arrangements have been COM
pleted by Manager w. H. Foley for four
relay races to be run at the interscholastic in
door games to be held at Convention Hall on
the evening of January g. These include
matches between the following teams: First
year teams from all the local high schools;
teams composed Of boys Of all classes in
the high schools; the Country School for
Boys of Baltimore and the Episcopal High
School of Alexandria; the Georgetown Prep
School, the Baltimore City College and the
Drexel Institute OF Philadelphia. Manager
Foley expects to add one or two more relay
races to the program within the next week.
First year high school boys have never
before had an opportunity to run with men,
bers Of their own class only, and they have
been quick to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity. Inquiry at the various schools has
brought out the fact that each one of the
five will have team in the race. Interest
in this event Is especially strong among the
pupils of Business. for with a course only
half as long as that of the other institutions
the commercial students have always been
at a disadvantage in championship COM
petition. There are a score Of candidates
for the orange and blue quartet, and several
trials will be necessary before the team h,
finally chosen.
The race for the big teams of the high
schools will be one of the leading features
OF the evenings sport. Central, last years
winners, have lost ex-Captain Kelly and
nave not YET IOunQ any one as last TO take
his place. The other four teams claim to
have much faster quartets than a year ago,
and Tech students declare that their men
are sure to win. The makeup OF none OF
the teams has yet been decided upon and
the final selection will not be made until
the day before the games. Paul Cooke, Cen
trails star. has been quite sick for several
weeks and Will not be able to do any hard
work for some time. Should he not be able
to compete In the relay race CentraPs
chances for victory will be much decreased.
The meeting OF the Georgetown Preps.,
the Baltimore City College and the Drexel
Institute win make a very interesting inter-
city match. with each team apparently hay-
ing chance to win. The West Washington
boys will depend largely upon Capt Gately,
their star sprinter, and McEvoy to carry
their colors first across the line, while the
Baltimore school has In Riley and Brown
two speedy youngsters. Capt. Callahan
has not indicated who win compose the
