as a draw. This is more than he can
get anywhere else. The fact probably
is that Hanlon is afraid to meet Yam

more than willing to meet him in any
kind of a fight. Hanlon is not too busy

SAYS SUTTON HAS CHANCE.
Paris Letter Predicts American Sue
cess in Billiard Championship.

New York. Feb. 1~7.-Devalcourt Vernon
writes from Paris that Maurice Vignaux
and George Sutton are in hard practice.
for their match game for the worlds
championship at 1S-inch balkline billiards
at one shot in, which is to take place
in that city Friday, March 4.
Interest in this contest writes Mr..
Vernon, has been greatly increased
since the recent close game at the two
shot-in style of billiards. In that game
Vignaux won by only, four points and
those who have seen the two recently in
practice think the American has a good
chance to win the trophy. The coming
contest promises to be the most exciting
and largest attended held in Paris in
years"
The trophy for which Sutton and Wig
naux will play is the one won by Slosson
and the late Frank Ives. Schaefer Sc
cured the emblem in the last champion
ship contest played in New York several
years ago. Under the rules governing
the emblem he was obliged, as previous
holders, to defend it for two years against
all corners and. while Schaefer was chal-
lenged four ~times-twice by Sutton-he
has refused to play or give up the trophy
which IS now claimed and awarded to
Sutton by the donors.

Frank Robson Now Sees a Strong
Team in ST. Louis.

st. Louis, Feb. 17.-Owner Frank De
Haas Robson. of the St. Louis Cardinals
is in favor of a limit being put on the
number of players each club should carry
during the season.
1T is a great waste of money for a club
to carry p to 26 men, and especially when
we start out in the spring of the year on
our training trips. We know pretty well
who are to be our regular men and If we
had some IS or 16 men we would save a
great deal of money that is needlessly
expended in the expenses of players
whom we really are not expecting to use
during the season.
The Cardinals will train this spring in
Texas and we are going to have as good
a team as any club in the league, 1 be-
lieve.
With Taylor, Nichols and Corbett in
the pitching force we will have twirlers
that will be second to none and our out
field will be as strong as last year.
THE infleld will be Beckley on first,
Farrell on second and Brain and Burke
for the other two places. We will have
plenty of material for catchers and I
think we have prospects of a good sea-
son."

Winfield Citizens Appear to
Have a Gold Brick.
Their $4,000 Gas Well Was a
DOctOred Affair.
CHEMICALS WERE USED
Barrel of Calcium Carbide Is
Dumped Into the Hole.
viii Produce Temporary Gas
That Will Fool an Expert.

Winfield, Kan, Feb. 17.-Winfeld has
q gas we'll that cost the town the neat
little sum of $4,000 and it now looks
to a disinterested observer as though
that $4,000 was given the high toss"
1t has developed within a day or two
that the gas in the well is simply the
result of a cleverly arranged scheme
and it evidently did the work intended
for it to do. The a of Winfield and
some of the other officers of the town
have made the discovery that the gas
is anything but the natural article.
h discovery is being kept very quiet
but in some way it leaked out and has
become known. Just what the chemi-
Gals are that were placed in the well
to produce the gas, is not stated but it
is understood that about a barrel and
a half of the stuff was used.
1t is generally supposed the chemical
is calcium carbide which is the stuff
used in the latest model of bicycle
lamps and is also used to produce the
light used in moving picture machines.
A little of this when combined with
water will produce a powerful gas that
could easily TOOL any one but an ex-
port.
1t can be bought for from $50 to $50
per ton and in the north is quite often
used in making gas for lighting pur-
poses. A man who knows what he is

THY of calcium carbide, placed in a
well a thousand feet deep would gen
crate a gas. and if properly handled
would produce a pressure that looks
i the real thing. Calcium carbide is
handled by nearly all hardware stores
and by some drug stores.
Less than a year g and at about the
same time the Winfield well was being
drilled, a stranger went into Sollitt &
Swarts' drug store and wanted to buy SO
pounds of calcium carbide. The druggist
not having it on hand directed him to
the Hamilton Hardware company, but the
Hamilton people did not sell it, neither
did the Gilbert & Sturtz people. At the
time Mr.. Sollitt remarked that gas would
be discovered around here in a short
time, but thought no more about it even
when the Winfield well was brought in
and showed a big flow.
Now that it is known that the Winfield
we'll was doctored. the two Incidents
dovetailed together show that it is very
easy to connect them.
The information concerning the barrel
and a half of stuff in the well comes
straight.
