HANDLES BILLIARDIST.
His Skill More Remarkable Than That
of Champions.

The most interesting character identified
with the game of billiards is George H. SUIT
ton. the handiess expert. Considering his
physical limitations his skill is more re-
markable than that of any other billiard
player, past or present OF all the hundreds
and thousands of persons who indulge in
the game in various parts of the world
there are no more than eight, if that many.
who are his equals. Without hands and
having no assistance. he plays all games in
which tie billiard cue is a factor with
amazing ability. His comprehension of all
styles of billiards corresponds with that of
Jake Schaefer, and his execution presents
extremes of deicacy and force which the
Wizard cannot excel. In no sense a special
list, he executes all classes of shots. from
q simple carom to the masse, does exquisite
work on the rail, playing from 100 to 500
or no count, and has made averages as high
as 60 at eghteen-inch balk line; makes close
draws and follows with rare neatness and
precision; invariably attempts the right shot
and directs every effort with view of OBJ
tanning favorable position. Mr.. Sutton is
thrty-five years of age and a resident of
Milwaukee When but eight years of age he
lost both his hands by coming in contact
with a circular saw. Constant study and
use of his arms has made him practically
the eighth wonder of the world.
In playing Sutton presents an interesting
appearance. A great deal of his playing is
done by using the bridge and the skill with
which he removes the bridge and handles
his cue Is amazing. When the ball is close

American League fans are well satisfied
with the news that Ban Johnson and Char
ley Comiskey have buried their Ratchet.
Their quarrel was the first bit of friction
in the new organization whichthey worked
so hard to form. COmiskey has often been
referred to as one of the smartest men In
base ball, while Johnson, a clever diplo-
mat. has deserved all the praise he has re-
ceived for making the American League
what it is today. With Comiskey and
Johnson pulling together base ball through
out the new circuit will probably boom even
more successfully than last season, when
the league prospered to the extent OF an
overlooking treasury and all the clubs on
a paying basis.

Chicago Athletic Association have discussed
the program for two-day meet. and they
decided upon the following events: Fifty
100 and 1000 yard swims. plunge FOR DIS
lance, fancy diving off a low board, sack
race over hurdles, fitting contest. water
polo and a four-man relay race, each to
swim fifty yards. There will also be several
special matches between college stars and
members of the New York Athletic Club
and from the present outlook the meet
seems likely to rival the championship held
last February in New York.
Chief among the swimming events IS the
GOO yard race, in which Chicago will enter
H. j. Handy. the present mile champion.
and New York C. II. Daniels, the worlds
best Splinter The meeting of these two in
distance race has been the subject of long
polemics, but they have finally come to a
satisfactory conclusion, and this 1,000-yard
race will take place before the half-mile
one scheduled for Buffalo. The present
record for 1000 yards was made by Daniels
last February and stands at 14.0S 80. Both
he and Handy can better this time. and
new figures are confidently anticipated.
Westerners believe that their representa-
tive can show his heels to the lanky New
Yorker at anything over the quarter. and
they say so loudly; but those we'll versed
In aquatic matters do not think there is
much hope of their dream being realized;
in fact, they look upon all three of the
swims as gifts to Daniels.
