reply the recorder paid tribute to Mr..

Quoting cases. The recorder also said that

be criticism of the case with which guilty

Grady. captain of last years ST. Louis

Fined $50 for Assault.

The testimony brought out in the Police
Court this morning in the case of George
Beverly, colored, charged with making an
assault on Frank Forallo, from sunny Ital. ,
was such that Judge Kimball decided the
charge of assault to be sustained and i'm
posed a penalty of $40 fine or sixty days in
jail. .
Beverly is a mail wagon driver and Fo-
rallo turned Beverly's horse in different
direction than Beverly wanted it to go.
That started the trouble. Forallo appeared
in court today with parts of his head shaved
and covered with adhesive plaster. He told
the judge that he had been struck with an
iron pipe In the hands of Beverly. The in
juries were SO severe he said. that he had
to seek treatment at the Emergency Hos
pital Policeman Adams arrested Beverly
on a warrant
Beverly claimed that he acted in self
defense and through his attorney ne gave
notice of a motion for a new trial.

FORMER STARS IN
SOUTHERN LEAGUE

Zach succeeding year sees base ban play
ers who were former major league stars
drift back into company not SO fast as the
American and National leagues. The
Southern League seems to be a Mecca for
these old-timers. Fer a number of years
past there has been a good sprinklng of
veteran players in the south. but many have
preferred to retire from the game rather
than To lose their prestige.
For the last four years Theodore Breiten-
stein, once the successful pitcher of the
Cincinnati team. has been doing good work
first at Memphis and then at New Orleans
He has lost something of his old speed. but
still has the head and control to keep ba is

other old timer down south-"Silver Bill

is conceded, Of cource. that II Harvard

ranged with Chicago. but otherwise q ma
jority of Yale men favor replacing the
Crimson with the Maroon.
The dra yrback to the scheme Is that the
faculty Is by no means unanimous IN Ia
voring 1t. Some Of the professors think
that one big game Is enough. and that II
Harvard draws out the Princeton match
should alone be Yale's big game. Others
think that an east-and-west game is too
big an affair for 1t to be countenanced with
a Yale team representing the east.
What a decisiye vote by the faculty reIa-
tive to the game would bring forth cannot
be predicted. 1t was the Yale faculty that
compelled the eleven to give up playing
games in New York city; and the faculty
favors keeping the contests down as much
as possible.

HOPPE FORFEITS
BILLIARD CHAMPIONSHIP

NEW YORK. December 29.-William SUIT
ton has become the holder Of the world S
championship 1871 baIk line billiards by a
technicality which acts as depriving the
youthful William +. Hoppe of that title
This peculiar turn of affairs has been
brought about because of Hopes dallyng
with the attractive offer he recently re-
ceived from an academy In Amsterdam
Holland. and his failure to cover Sutton
challenge forfeit last Monday, according to
the express stipulations of the rules gov
erning the championship. AS a result SUIT
ton is now the worlds champion at IL. l
and 1872 balk line. and he is the first player
to hold two such important titles at the
same time in the history of the game.
The manner in which the youthful con-
queror of Maurice Vignaux. from whom
Hoppe wrested the championship last Janu-
ary and the successful defender against
George +. Slosson and Jacob Schaefer loses
his right to the honors fills out a new and
strange chapter In recent billiard events.
1t begins with Hopes poor showing in the
match in which he endeavored to win the
1S.2 honors from Sutton, which, with the
poor attendance at the contest, hurt his
young professional pride to no small de-
gree The strength of Sutton's game also
caused him much uneasiness so that when
the offer of l50f. per day came from
Amsterdam, together with four months
contract, the ready and sure money In
prospect appealed to him more than the un-
! ance and no box office receipts to be gained
| by his winning. Hoppe knew what this
meant, for Sutton in the game with the
youngster had 10 pay 500 out of his own
| pocket, according to the clause that the
winner takes all and pays all expenses"
When Hoppe opened negotiations with
the Amsterdam Academy he personally ar
ranged with Sutton for an extension of ten
days in which to cover his $50 forfeit

TIED WITH BROWN

NEW YORK. December CIT was the
University of Pennsylvania turn to sweep
the boards in the third round OF the TIL
angular college chess league tournament

terday Hughes had Roy T. Black OF Cornell
for an opponent. Black had the white
pieces for the first time and adopted the
queens gambit. which Hughes declined
Strong in the opening, Black. who comes
from the Brooklyn boys high school, the
nursery for chess on the other side of the
bridge, established a small superiority, fore
ing the Pennsylvanian's king to move.
Later he weakened and Hughes succeeded
in annexing a pawn, which ultimately gave
him the verdict.
Homer N. Sweet, Browns senior player.
won his game against Guenther of Cornell
by making a daring sacrifice of piece.
