'PITTSBURC PHIL
 MAY BE DYING

George F. Smith ("Pittsburg Phil'o, it was reported yesterday is seriously i'll in Asheville. x. C.. where he has been for some time in sanitarium.
 Mir Smith has been in ill health for several years. and last season was re- ported to be dying in the Adirondacks. But he was somewhat conspicuous around the eastern race courses for d portion of the season, although his operations ill the ring were by no means so extensive as formerly. During the holidays he sent many Christmas presents to old friends in Pittsburg. where he first began his re- markabIy successful career as a back CT of race horses in a poolroom. It is said that Phil still continues to take an interest in the current races, and that lie has had some sue cess in picking winners at Los An geles and New Orleans
 For several years he was regarded as one of the largest operators In the ring around the eastern tracks. and he always had strong following.
 His find" of Jockey Willie Shaw in New Orleans several years ago. and the success which this young rid CT made contributed largely to the amounts won by Phil in his specula- tive arguments with the members of the Metropolitan Turf association.

The panther caught one of her paws in his coat tail as he went up. tearing off a ragged piece of the cloth.
 Hartman, sitting on the limb, saw the angry beast stop and shake the rag viciously with her teeth, and then she turned and saw him, and with a snarl crouched to spring at him. Like an inspiration came the thought that saved him.
 With trembling fingers he tore open the bundle Of dynamite and took out one of the sticks. which had the fuse attached. ready for lighting. The pan ther was ready to spring by the time he had struck match. but the little flicker of fire fascinated her and she lay watching it as it burned Up into a blaze. He lit the fuse and held the deadly explosive in his hand. As the match went out the panther sprang and at the same instant he hurled the giant powder The stick Of burning dynamite and the panther met in mid air. and the explosion which instantly followed almost knocked Hartman on his perch. X minute later. when he weakly climbed down. he found only scattered fragments of the great beast along the road, and realized that he was saved.

BILLIARDS
YOUNG HOPPE EASILY
 DEFEATED M'LAUCHLIN

Showing the result of his training ill the billiard academies of Paris, Will liam r. Hoppe, the youthful profes- sional, outplayed the veteran. Edward Mclaughlin, at 1S-inch balk line with two counts allowed within the chalk ed squares. The play was the first block, of points in 1,200 point con- test, the score being 300 for Hoppe to I20 for Mclaughlin. Hopes average was ii 6-21 and his best run 6l. About the table in McLaughlm's private academy, Fifty-ninth street near Third avenue, New York. where the match is in progress, were gathered many of the leading amateurs, includ- ing Florian Tobias of the Amateur Billiard club of New York, Harry B. Rollins of the Metropolitan club. and ex-President F. c. Samuels of the Progress club.
 Both competitors were slow in starting. Hoppe only counted 3 on his first five turns at the table. He got the balls together in the following in- ming and by close work he counted 36, which he backed on hls next turn with 40, managing to average a fraction above 10 for his first hundred with a run of 24. This last run appeared to be good for higher count. but the balls lined up badly and Hoppe missed the twenty fifth count by trying die ficult masse. F
 Mclaughlin tiddled with his cue in playing so that his execution was poor. his angles being all askew. In his thirteenth inning he coaxed the balls together on the line and worked out fl caroms by true balk line nurse
 Hoppe entered his last hundred with a run of 52 caroms. the majority of which were counted on open table plays Several problems were pre- scented to him. the most difficult being one which he solved by drive around the table for six cushions, bringing the three balls together fin one of the corner squares. But best of all the nights play was the run of 67 with which the youthful professional con- pleted his string. It contained a bril- liant bit of nursing in the center pan el, where he counted unlimited car oms. Tho summary:

 to Pieces,

Marshall Ark.-Luke Hartman, a zinc miner who lives about 12 miles from here along the Buffalo river, had hair-raising adventure with a paI- ther a few days ago.
 He had been to this place to buy dy- namite to use for blasting on his claim and. when about mile and a half from home on the return, he saw in the road ahead of him what appeared to be two gray cats playing in the dust Wondering how cats came to be in that neighbornood, he followed them through the underbrush and was ter ror-stricken to find himself confront ing big she panther. The panther placed herself in frout of her kittens and lashed the ground angrily with her tail
 Hartman had no weapons and real izing his danger, he ran back to the road, but the panther followed with long jumps. He turned down the road toward his house. fleeing for dear life, but the big cat followed, and he saw that he was doomed in the uneQua race. She was gaining several feet on him at every leap. ....
 She had almost reached him. and in imagination Hartman could feel her long claws tearing at his back, when he saw, just ahead of him and reaching out over the road. the horizontal limb of white oak tree The limb was eight or nine feet from the ground, but fear lent him agility. and he made a running jump and caught it with his hands. swinging lip and over the bough like traDeye performer in a, circus.

CHESBRO CAN'T FORGET.

Last fall Griffith paid visit fo chesbro at North Adams, Mass, for a few days and, armed to the teeth, they went out hunting for cartridges. Ches- bro had been talking of the final game which lost the American league cham pionship, so that when he got into the woods he was still thinking of the national pastime. Just then Griffi saw plump partridge and called to Ches- bro. who was not far away.
 ''Take shot at him. Jack!' cried the manager, and Chesbro took care ful aim. But suddenly the great pitch CT dropped his gun and turning to Griff. he said: .,...,
 Well, what do you think of me making that wild pitch, anyway Hey?'
 Griff made no reply. but brought down the partridge with a quick, well directed shot. Then he told Chesbro that if he mentioned baseball again he'd take the first train out N town. Chesbro will probably remember that wild pitch as long as he lives.
