An Interesting thing TO note in this

given him trouble in the way of com

his headquarters being in Washington

the consequence was that he was de-

In the first of the final matches In the
national amateur billiard tournament at
Chicago yesterday, W. II. Sgourney of San
Francisco defeated Charles F. ConkIin. the
Chicago expert, by the score of 800 to 273
This game was by far the best game
played in the tournament so far Sigour-
ney took the lead in the first inning and
never relinquished it during the entire
game. At one time he was over 100 points
ahead of his opponent, but during the
last ten innings Conklin made several
good runs, which brought the men on
more even terms
Toward the end of the game ConkIin
was playing the better game of the two
but Sigourney was too far in the lead TO
be overtaken. Sigourney's high run was
thirty-ore and his average 60 Conk-
Inns high run was forty and his average
q 2i-42.

of balk line billiards witnessed since the
tournament began. Both men were anxious

AMERICUs WON EASILY.
Defeated Atherton in Catch-as-Catch-
Can Wrestling Bout

Gus Schoenlein, better known as "Ameri-
Gus" of Baltimore defeated Edward Ather-
ton of Elmira, N. Y, last night in catch
as-catch-can wrestling bout at the German
MIA Mannerchor Hall, in Baltimore.
The match was for the best two out of
three falls. and was to go the limit. "Amer-
icus' gained the first fall in twenty-three
minutes, by foot, crotch and body hold.
During the first bout Atherton's knee was
injured, and after an intermission of TWEEN
ty-two minutes the second bout started.
Atherton then succumbed to a leg hold and
arm lock, in three minutes, claiming that
the injury to his knee forced him to quit.
The Baltimore boy showed wonderful inn
provement over his last appearance, when
he was defeated by Beell of Wisconsin A
spectator, said to be Jimmy Barnes of Wis
consin challenged "Americus'' for a bout at
.catch-weights; the challenge was accepted.

Day Nurseries.

To the Editor or The Evening Star:
We believe that there can be today no
more urgent need brought before the minds
Of the thinking people of Washington city
than the establishment of day nurseries
for by intelligent, Christian women during
the day-thus making it possible TOR the
mothers to earn the necessary means for
their support. A large percentage of wo-
men who are now forced to accept public
charity would gladly toll early and late to
maintain their families If such protection
should be furnished for their young chill
dren. What a field for the earliest possible
molding of moral and Christian character
in these homes, for at no time In life is the
mind more susceptible to good or evil i'm
presSions than from one to six years of
age. We have homes for soldiers, sailors,
newsboys-homes even for the lower ami
mals-and shall Washington lack in this
one thing, the most needful and helpful
toiling mothers? Is 1t better to dole out
public charity and take away self-respect,
or put honest poverty in position to help
itself? When tell you the story of a case
which has come under my own observation
for the last six weeks you can understand
why this appeal is made. Three and four
times each day I have seen a brave little
woman fighting cold and storms to and
from the place where she earns her chill
where two little girls and a nursing babe
await her coming. Washington, with it's
institutions for everything else, should
take this need in hand, and help us to have
at least one nursery home in each section
of our city. Mrs. J. D. WATSON.
