RULES OF BILLIARDS
ARE BEING CHANGED
Experts Make Effort to Draw
Up Satisfactory
Code
NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. 20-After many
years the rules governing billiards are
undergoing the most rigid revision. The
most systematic effort is being made to
arrive at standard which will be recog
nized alike by all amateurs and profess
SIGNALS, and thus do away with the many
and frequent disputes that now arise.
There has been no authoritative over
hauling of the rules since 1879. Great
advancement has been made since that
time and the changes in the style of
play have caused many of the old rules to
become obsolete. Actually the work of
revision is being accomplished by the
foremost players of this country and Eu-
rope, including alike amateurs and pro-
feSsionalS. In order to accomplish this
monumental task revised copies of the old
their opinions asked on specific changes
or notifications. Practically the editor
in-chief is Albert F. TroeScher.
While only few of the players have as
yet received their copies of the rules,
Benjamin Garne, veteran in billiard af-
fairs, has been at work on the revision
for several weeks. In commenting upon
the task of preparing the new rules he
said:
"As often happens in such matter in
the course of years, the billiard code has
got itself into bad shape, owing to yield
ing to the individual crotchetS of men
who think that they ought to know every
thing appertaining to their calling. be-
cause it is indispensable that they should
know much. Even carom rules have been
interpolated among those of ball pool,
without knowing either that some of the
former were originally framed rather as
innovations for a special end than as a

necessity. or that precisely the same stu
alton can not be treated in the ordinary
way in French caroms, pin-pool and
Blue Peter
AS these and other games have each a
genius of their own, to apply to one some
rule borrowed from another is apt to
create an interference with an elder rule of
unsupported import So, to cite three
cushion caroms as an example, the strik-
er. when frozen to a ball, which may be
his fault, is rewarded by being allowed
to spot, which gives him the surest shot
in that game; and yet the rule is so I'M
clearly phfased as torbe doubtful if he can
play from free ball or cushions. Of the
two, he should be denied the spot and
allowed the free ball.
In balk line, the favorite with the anna
teurS. the freezer is permitted to cushion
and come back first on the ball to which
he was fast, but in playing away by
masseing he can come back first upon the
free ball only. This is obviously penal
izing the one object ball in one case and
premiumizing it in the other. In the
amateur championship held at the New
York Racquet and Tennis club in 1889 for
the Townsend cup~it was agreed to play
away from frozen balls. and it sent runs
ana averages up at least 80 per cent. APP
plying the same rule to professionals it
would have sent the figures sky high in
the old days of straight rail- with it's
steadily progressive movement, involving
at once science, art and habit. Straight
rail- billiards is great game much mis-
there have been fewer than dozen
straight railers of the first, second and
third class The game may be revived

NED EGAN'S SUIT WILL
ESTABLISH PRECEDENT
Question of Managers Service in Winter
VIII Be Settled

A suit will be begun Monday in the
district court which will determine the
value of a baseball managers services
during the winter months. The suit is
brought by Ned Egan against the Win
nipeg baseball team to collect s9265O for
salary and expenditures. Egan was man
ager of the Winnipeg team for two years
and. captured the pennant both times
Last year he claims he signed an ironclad
contract for a year. for which he was to
receive $1,000. During the winter months
he maintained an office in st. Paul and
did such work as falls to the managers
lot when the snow is on the ground
Egan's health failed in the spring and in
July he offered to accept his release. This,
Mr.. Egan asserts was an act of Kindness
as the. contract provided for a years serv-
ice under any conditions. A summons
was served on Secretary Lamb. of the
Winnipeg club, and he is in the city to
fight the case. Mr.. Egan claims. $500
salary is due him and s126.5O for money
expended in the interest of the Winnipeg
club. The club has filed a counter claim
for $4,000, claiming that it was injured
to that extent by being deprived of Mr.
Egan's valuable services. Manager Mike
Kelley. of the Saints, will be called as an
expert witness to testify to the value of
managers during the winter months.

VARSITY TEAM LOSES
GAME TO NEBRASKA
First Defeat for the Gophers
on Their Own
Floor

For the first time in history the Uni
versity of Minnesota basketball team was
defeated on it's own floor when it PLAYED
Nebraska last evening and it was the first
time that Nebraska had defeated Mime
sofa on any floor. The game was about
the poorest that has been seen in the
armory this winter, both teams being off
in their form, but most OF the time Min
nesota played circles around her Corn
husker opponents Nebraska only secur-
ed three field baskets during the game all
of them coming in the second half, while
Minnesota secured seven, but the game
was won on fouls, Minnesota being penal
lied twenty-five times during the game
and as Hagenbeck only missed goal six
times the fouls were good for sixteen
points.
McRae for the Gophers had fourteen
chances from fouls, but only made good
on six of them. The referee was the
coach of the Nebraska team. The first
FOUL he called was not very fayorably re-
ceived by the galleries. Brown for the
Gophers blocked a pretty pass by knock
ing the ball out of a Nebra skan,s hand
and although he did not touch his op-
ponent he was penalized for pushing.
Nebraska drew first blood. scoring on
foul, but McRae quickly put Minnesota
field. Tuck followed with another of fhe
same kind and McRae landed foul
Haeenbeck made good again on a foul
but Varco came back with goal from the
field. Before the half ended Hagenbeca
landed four more times on fouls, while
McRae made good with a free and a goal
and Varco with one from the field leay-
ing the score IL to in favor of the
Gophers. In the second half Hagenbeck
again scored on a foul. Tuck was next
with one from the field and Hagenbeck
butted in again with the first goal from
the field that Nebraska had scored, Dur
ing the first half, when he was guarded
by Brown, every attempt at a goal was
neatly blocked. but he got away from Bar
tram, Browns successor, several times
goal apiece. and then, with the score 10 to
10 against them, the men from Nebraska
began to do things, Hagenbeck scoring six
times on fouls and once on a field goal
and his partner at center throwing one
pretty basket from the field, while Nc
Rae scored once on foul during the same
period, which left the score tied 20 to 20.
After a three minute rest the men went
at it again. Hagenbeck missed his first
chance on a foul but scored on his second.
McRae did likewise and again the score
was tied, II to 81 but Minnesota fouled
again, and with the result of the game
depending on him, Hagenbecls dropped the
ball into the basket without touching the
supports and the game was won for Ne
braska.
The Minnesota men expect to secure
their revenge this afternoon, when the
teams will play in the armory. The
game will be called at $3.50. The lineup:
