Balm HAILED
AS CHAMPION
Inyincible AL Hampton is
Outplayed in a Special
Soft Ball Match Contest

Fred Balm defeated AL Hampton in
the special match game of handball
for a silver cup at the Olympic Club
yesterday afternoon. Bain's victory
stamps him as the best soft-handball
player on the coast. Hampton's de-
feat was a surprise to the wise ones,
who lost considerable in betting. Balm
outplayed Hampton and won on his
merits. Hampton is a star hard ball
player, but cannot play soft ball with
such a fast man as Balm. Scores:
21-10, 21-S. Balm won the soft ball
tournament and the special cup put
UP by Louis Rosenfeld and Kenneth
Rosenfeld.
Clarence Clough beat Robert Balm
in two straight games and c. Carr
beat Guy Ransome. w. p. Humphrey
and F. C. Wegener are to play next
Wednesday evening.

FANCY DRESS BALL CAUSES
THE SPREAD OF SMALLPOX
Theaters, Schools and Churches in
Billings, Mont, Closed to Check
the Disease.

BILLINGS, Mont, Jan. S.-The
alarming spread of smallpox in this
city within the past forty-eight hours
has caused the authorities to adopt
the most stringent measures to blot
out the disease. Upon the order of
the Board of Health, all church gath
.erings have been abandoned, theatre
cal engagements Cancelled and the
schools closed. Lodge gatherings are
also. prohibited.
More than thirty cases Of smallpox
have been reported to the officials
within the past two days, though as
yet the disease does not appear to be
of malignant character. The pest
house Is filed to overfiowing and nu-
merous residences are being quaran-
tined to-day.
Mayor Foster, in a statement to-
day, declares the prevalence of the
disease is directly due to a fancy ball
given by a secret organization in Bill
ings about two weeks ago, at which
a number of costumes imported from
an Eastern city were used. The Mayor
states that all OF the afflicted ones
were present at that ball.

hollow fashion in the match race YES
terday at Union Coursing Park. The
Boy succeeded in winning the neces-
sary three courses Humboldt raised
the flag in the second trial. which was
the only course he scored. Corder's
dog showed the speed. In the first
three trials he led Humboldt from one
to three lengths, and in the last run
he was five lengths in front of the son
of Hot Stuff when the hare was forced
to. turn. Humboldt failed to score in
this course. Humboldt won his only
course by a point. He slightly out
worked the favorite in the second trial.
The talent laid against Humboldt In
the four races.
J. Sweeney's Richard Anton ran up
to his best form and captured the open
stake in championship style. He was
made one of the stake favorites in the

in all his courses and worked the game
to perfection. In the final he raised
the flag over the Eastern dog. Gran

Brooklyn Bridge Rebui,s.

Engineers have decided that the
Brooklyn bridge must be rebuilt be-
cause Of the great strain to which II
has been subjected. The Brooklyn
correspondent of the Milwaukee Sem
tinel says: ITO do this will require
at least two years. Meanwhile traf-
flee between New York and Brook
lyn will have to be diverted to the
Williamsburg bridge, the new Man,
haitian bridge. and the Brooklyn sub
way tunnel, in course Of construction.
Four or five years may elapse before
this can be accomplished, as great
traffic problems will have to be
solved beforehand. Though an in
spection of the Brooklyn bridge shows
II to be safe. 1t is admitted by all the
engineers who have been connected
with the work that even steel has an
age limit, and that this limit is being
approached. The structure is with
standing a weight of traffic which II
never was intended TO bear when the
plans for the construction were made.
II Is estimated that the cost Of the re-
building viii be about 100000"

ARRESTED MURPHY AT EcHo
Charged With Obtaining Money Under
Fsnse Prefenses.

Last nigm G. d. Murphy was
was brought here from Echo by Dep
uty Spike, who arrested him at that
place oh information that he was
wanted in spokane for obtaining
money under false pretenses. II is
alleged that he swindIed Charles p.
Thomas, of Freeman, Wash, of
money to the amount of $135, and a
search has been carried on TO locate
him by the sheriff's office in Spo-
kane.
During the forenoon today the sher-
if at Spokane 'phoned to Deputy
Blakeley here and stated that If Muir
ply could repay the $135 to release
him, otherwise a requisition would be
gotten and an officer sent for him. As
the prisoner could not raise the neces-
ssry amount it is probable that he
VIII be taken TO Spokane for trial.
