Pensacola. Fla. Jan. 6.-(SpeciaL)- Judge Beggs of the criminal court to- day sentenced a number of gamblers who entered a plea of guilty in an- swer to indictments returned against them by the recent grand jury. Four of the gamblers were fined $500 each, while a dozen. who were, in the class of visitors" were taxed' $50 each.
 In passing judgment upon them, Judge Beggs took occasion to lecture the "easy living men" to great extent, saying that he understood that even after the indictments had been returned there had been promiscuous gambling.
 Last night the "clubrooms" had no lights burning. and the gambling fra ternity gathered about the street cor ners and talked the matter over at length. There is a probability that the games will be closed up for the present, but no one believes that they will be stopped long.

of the new tricks on his friends in
mild sort of way. He wandered out to
the Pastime a. c.. New York, and got
into his wrestling costume. In five
minutes he had thrown every wrestler
in the room While showing them the
new holds.
There was one in particular that in
terested Bothner and the crowd. 1t is
used against a man in ordinary street
dress. The attacker steps lightly be-
hind his victim, seizes his collar and,
kicking his knees forward, jerks him
off balance and to the fat of his back.
AS the victim falls the wrist of the at
tacker. still holding the coat collar, is
given a peculiar twist. That twist, aid
ed by the fail, brings the back of the
wrist across the victims throat with
tremendous leverage given by the coat
collar. If the slightest weight is thrown
into the attack the victims throat is
crushed.
Bothner tried the trick several times
very carefully and gently.
Then a big policeman dropped in. He
laughed. why" he said, you couldn't
pull me down like that. I'll bet. dol
lar you couldn't even lay me on my
back
One of Bothners pupils, who had been
looking on, stepped quietly behind the
>
the right kick and twist, and the police
man was lying fiat on his back, with the
wrestlers forearm across his throat.
The policeman, apparently surprised,
lay perfectly still. Everybody laughed.
The wrestler looked around for his ap-
plause, still keeping a light hold. AS
the first laugh died out Bothner sud
denly noticed something peculiar in the
way the victim was lying. He jumped
forward and pulled his pupil away. The
policeman did not stir. There were a
scattering of spectators and a scurrying
for doctors. 1t took two hours to bring
the officer back to consciousness, and
the doctors agreed that it was the mar
rowest escape they ever had seen.
If the wrestler had taken that Japa-
nese hold with full force rather than in
play the man would have been killed
instantly.
George Bothner stopped his jiu jitsu
exhibitions.

anese of high family was studying at

Different Kinds of Yachts.

There are two distinct types of ice
boats. One is what might be called the
sloop rig, having a mainsail and jib;
the other has one sail, a sort of lateen
rig, with the forward end or point of a
triangle projecting forward to take the
place of the jib. There is no mast on
this latter craft. Its place is taken by
two heavy beams or braces, which lean
toward each other from the runners on
the side. The sail is fastened to a long
boom Oaced along the top of the said,
which is securely fixed up in the crotch
formed by the braces. The forward
end of the boom slants downward. The
stern end tips upward, of course.

nees are over. Patrons of the game
have come to like close and low score
game better than one in which this
score is something like 80 to 43. The
work of a pitcher is as much appreci-
ated as long and frequent hits.
1.-THE rule was originated for the pur-
pose of shortening the time of games.
It has served it's purpose, and all last
summer fans were able to see a game
and get home in good time for theiI

rule was put into effect long drawn OUT

HThe House Of surnside.n

Mr.. Terry's vehicle, THE House of
Burnside is a strong and at times pa
khetic play written by Georges Mitchell
and adapted by Louis N Parker. Mr..
Terry's role is that of Richard Burn
side, a blunt but sound hearted old
English shipowner.
AS America knows Mr.. Terry chiefly
through his reputation as comedian of
the highest type, there was much con-
lecture as to what degree OF excellence
he would exhibit in a thoroughly serf-
Gus production. The Englishman show
ed that he had made anything but a
mistake in making his debut here in a
play in which heavy emotional pas
Eages frequently occur. He pictured
the shipowner with telling forcefuIness
and made a melodramatic role one Of
striking natur4lness.
