BRILLIANT EIGHTEEN
BALK-LINE BILLIARDS

A large crowd gathered at Scanlon's last
night to see Tom Gallagher play Edward
Scanlon. The professional conceded odds
of $50 points to 200. The game was an ex-
ceptionally interesting one. Mr.. Scanlon
took the lead early In the contest, and, de-
spite the earnest efforts of Mr.. Gallagher
to overtake him. maintained 1t to the end.
The balls broke very badly for both the
players and the game was a much better
one than the Averages would seem to In
dictate. In one of the early innings Mr.
Scanlon made an extraordinary masse shot
which brought forth great applause His
tremendous draw shots were another feat
ure of the game. The professional had ex-
tremely hard luck In getting several I'M
fortunate "line-ups." and consequently did
not get along with his usual facility The
final score was 200 to 1879 In favor of Mr.
Scanlon. The winners average was 8 2-92
and his high runs SO and 81 Mr. Gala
gher's average was La, with "a, 81 and Is
for high runs.
Yesterday afternoon the same experts
played short exhibition game OF 100 points
at eighteen-two balk line. The local player
was In very good form and played excep-
tionally brilliant and consistent Billiards.
Mr.. Scanion beat Mr. Gallagher $50 to 90,
and. although. the winners high run was
but 20. this being supplemeutad by runs Of
~ q, "a and 30. enabled him to finish the

DIR. LEGGO'S VICTORY
EXCITEs COMMENT

The sensational victory OF Df. Lego III
the Burns handicap last Saturday may re-
suit in some official action on the part OF
the stewards of the New California Jockey
Club. inasmuch as the horses performance
appeared to be a glaring form reversal
Owner C. c. McCafferty, incidentally, has
been accused of working clever game TO
secure light impost from the Handicapped.
A week before the weights were announced
for the Burns, McCafferty sent Dr. Lego
to Los Angeles, where the horse was beaten
off in a handicap by a moderate field ana
later succumbed to a number OF cheap pat
ers in a selling event These races, II Is De
lieyed convinced the Handicapped tnat the
horse had lost his form so that he got into
the Burns with ia pounds. In the big race.
which he won at mile and quarter in
2O4%, DR.. Lego came home with SO much
to spare that the experts were positive ne
could have carried the day with IA POUNDS
on his back. AS the morse was heavily
backed by those who knew in what splendid
shape he was. there was natural outcry
from the public at large which the officials
could not very well overlook whether any
thing comes of the matter or not, the fact
remains that Dr. Lego Is one of the best
handicap horses on the coast and will not
be able to hoodwink the weight ad1uster
again.

KEENE REFUSED
100000 FOR sYsoNBY

NEW YORK, January 30.-An offer Of
100000 approximately $2O0,O0O was made
within the past few days to Messrs. Keene
for their grand our-year-old Sysonby. This
magnificent offer for the horse was forth
coming from a syndicate of English own
ers. but failed to induce Messrs. Keene to
part with him.
Charles Mills, wealthy English racing
commissioner and the well-known English
trainer, Robinson, paid q visit last week to
the Keene stable, at Sheepshead Bay, in
COMPANY with De Courcey Forbes. and in
spected the horses in James Rowe's charge.
They had heard much of the prowess of this
son of Melton, and when they saw him
were greatly impressed. Robinson did not
scruple to express the opinion that 'Syson-
by was the grandest thoroughbred he had
ever seen" No doubt there had been some
thought in their mind of buying the horse
before coming to this country. and the re-
suit of their inspection was to make the
above recorded offer.
When at Saratoga last summer J. w.
Gates tried his utmost to tempt James r.
Keene with an offer OF 100000 for Sysonby.
But Mr.. Keene was obdurate. He loved the
horse for his good qualities and character
istics and glorled In his possession. With
the instincts of truly great sportsman he
answered, Il like the horse. and no money
you can name will buy him from me-"
James A. Brady. too, was eager to buy
him. to remove him from the path of his
good horse, Oiseau, and made an offer with
in the past few days of s125,000. He was
told of the 100000 offered by the English
men and ceased to persevere in his effort to
obtain him.
Charles Mills and Trainer Robinson, after
paying their visit to Sysonby, left for Palm
Beach, where they at present stopping
to see the automobile races. Another Amer
lean animal which captured the euconiums
of the English trainer was Tradition in A.
j. Joyner's string. He said of her: "She Is

VINCENT STEVENSON
DROPPED FROM PENNsY

PHILADELPHIA, January 30.-Vincent
NJ Stevenson, captain of the Pennsylvania
foot ball team and one of the best quarter
backs that ever played foot ball. has been
punted out Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. The fact that he has been drop
ped from the membership roll" as the ac-
ton is termed at the varsity, has been
kept very quiet and has been known only to
a few besides the members having discip-
Hnary matters in charge
Stevenson's scholastic standing was no.
toriously bad, and on account of that fact
he was placed on probation several weeks
ago, ii being hoped by the faculty that he
would improve, but the reverse of what
they expected occurred. Instead of doing
better it was noticed that he was steadily
retrogressing. He was very frequently alb
sent from the class rooms without permits
sion, and in various other ways violated the
rules and regulations of the college.

In the morning the negro told the detec-

cause they already had enough evidence to
hang him and he had made up his mind to
make his peace with God. Later, however,
he told Detective Pohler that he would like
to talk and he was taken to the captain s
office. where he made a fun confession, the
greater portion of which was given to the
details surrounding the robbery of Miss AL
