good things about the North Central

to say that It was Thanksgiving

feast OF turkey that we all missed and
one that will recur to our memories
with pleasant thoughts till another
Thanksgiving time.
Hope Dispatch: Prof. Hall is
one of the best educators in the state,
and will make good in his new place.
Hope takes no little pride in his adj
vancement. His first city schools
were here, where he had charge Of
our schools two years. From here he
went to Cherokee where he taught
several years, then to Marion and
finally to Abilene. The people Of
Hope have always had an interest In
bis advancement, and we are pleased
to see him continue to rise.

JERSEY CUE EXPERT
NEARLY a YEARS OLD
q
Michael Clark Has Played Bill
lizards Since He Was
..E Seventeen.

Trenton, N. j., March 24.-Michael
Clark Of Broad Street park, this city,
is undoubtedly the oldest billiard
player in this state, and SO far as length
Of service with the little ivory balls
and the green tables 60. For fifty
seven years he has been playing the
game and he is even more enthusiastic
over it now than he was when he com
menced as mere boy Of IL years. He
is now almost "a years old, but he says
he never felt better in his life and he
wouldn't be surprised if he would be
playing billiards for another quarter,
of century. He wants to do so any
way. n
He plays daily and nightly, and not
infrequently spends six and seven hours
at a time at the table. He seldom al
lows a period Of twenty-four hours to
pass, Sundays excepted, of course, with
out taking up the cue and all Of his
spare time is either devoted to playing
the game or to watching some on else
play.
Mr.. Clark is known to billiard play
ers in all parts Of the state and in New
York and Philadelphia as well. He has
played with many Of the experts and
has always held his own with them.
However, he seldom plays a big game,
preferring usually to play for pure
amusement, with his friends.

SPLIT is CERTAIN
BET TWEEN bOWLERS
East and West Mix Up in a
Row Started by
Chicago.

Louisville, KY, March 24.-Delegates
to the American Bowling congress have
nearly broken the body into two sep
arate organizations, their sixth annual
resulting in the fasteners withdrawing
and finally determining to run another
national tournament in the east. An
tagonism between Chicago and New
York is the chief reason of the split,
the real argument being which is the
dog and which is the tail, both factions
refusing to wag as the others wish.
It looked before the meeting as tho
Philadelphia would get the meet and
the Quakers spread themselves in un-
Quakerlike fashion in lining up dele
gates On the floor the injudicious re-
marks of Charles Ebbets, the Brooklyn
tie, swung many votes to st. Louis
which were pledged to Philadelphia and
the bolt was then organized by Mike
Costa and his Philadelphia following.
It is certain that Detroit and Cleve-
land in the west will side with the east
erners, while Buffalo and Pittsburg will
come west to roll Cincinnati, playing
both ends. Chicago will not be allowed
to send teams east, judging by present
sentiment, which may be modified
later. But one hope exists, that ST..
Louis might urge the executive COM
mittee to give the meet to the east and
take it for 1908, but they are not ex-
pected to do this. The officials side en-
tirely with the west and are willing to
let the east bolt without trying to stop
them.
All attendance records for national
meets have been beaten at the Louis
vile armory, an average Of 1000 paid
admissions daily having been recorded.
With passes this means 1000 in the
hall. This means 5000 in admissions,
while the grandstand is running with
some $500. The total gate receipts are
expected to reach $1,000 for the ten
days. All concessions are doing well.
The scoring system, weighing and
measuring balls and other delays have
worked well. Only in breaking SEIZED
ule has the Louisville tournament been
a failure, bowlers having to wait three
hours at times to get on schedule after
losing original place. Where Cleveland
is remembered for cold, Louisville will
be remembered for heat. The alleys are
the finest ever used at a national tourn.

Ten days shooting on drives will make

their way back. Watkins, several years
ago, made up his mind that he had
spent enough time in breaking in new
men, and turned to the big leagues for
their dead timber. The big Lacquer gen
orally suffers from swelled head,
looks down upon the younger players
and is trouble-maker in a, club on
slight excuse.
Kelley, as manager, has always
worked upon lines directly opposed to
those adopted by Watkins. Kelley likes
the young chaps. He is a young man
and seems to possess faculty Of TAX
ing bunch of untried men and making
them play fast, snappy baseball. He
has developed some of the best teams
in the league from what looked to be
very Indifferent material st. Paul Is
success came thru the work of Kelley
in developing talent, Kelley does not
care for a big league player. He would
prefer promising youngster. He has
made good with men of this kind in the
F'past, and there is no reason to believe
that he will not do so again. Kelley is
regarded as d pal by every man on his
team, and not as a taskmaster. He gets
his teams to going at high speed and
they seem to stick there. Minneapolis
fans are not afaid that Kelley has lost
his ability in this line. A baseball
team made up Of fast, aspiring young
sters is to be preferred to one made up
of lot of glass arms on their way back
to obscurity.
The signing of 'Tute' Thompson has
caused considerable comment on the
part Of local fans. Those who have
never seen him play say that it is big
risk. Managers of fast amateur teams,
who have played Renvile declare that
Thompson is a conner, natural player,
and man after Kelley's own liking.
Sam Coughlin, who played the Lunds
against the Renville team, tells me that
Thompson is one Of the fastest men on
infeld work that he has ever seen in his
life, and Sam knows ballplayer when
he secs one. Ernie Simpson and other
baseball sharks say Thompson is a
whirlwind in his class. His showing in
the fast company will depend upon him,
self. He is an experiment, but with
his record is worth tryout.

get into the play. The quitting OF

Louisville, KY, March 24.-Wiscon-
SINS champion bowler, Frank Favour,
an Oshkosh man, went into the lead in
the singles in the national champion
ship tournament today with a total Of
$50 pins. Favour's performance, while
highly creditable, was made under cir
cumstances which gave him an undue
advantage over other players.
He used three-fnger ball, loaded
heavily on one side to give him an
enormous hook, and he took the place
of Netterstom, the Chicago bowler,
when the latter was on hand to 60 on

The announcement that the faculty
committee would report in favor of
abolishing the old game came as a de

Rugby is not SO strong at Berkeley, but
there is general dissatisfaction.
What the result will be is difficult to
forecast. The most likely result is
that there will be no game of any kind
between the universities this fall. The
faculty is determined in its stand
against the old game. The men who
play football and the student body who
pay to see the game are determined in
their opposition to the Rugby game,
and have even gone as far as to talk
openly Of defying the order. ~

Manslaughter Charge Fails

Special to The Journal.


San Francisco, CAL, March 24.-The
charge of manslaughter against Frankie
Neil, his seconds and the seconds Of
Tenny, for alleged completely in the
killing of Harry Tennebaum, the fighter
who died after desperate battle with
Frankie Neil, was dismissed by police
Judge Cabaniss, because the prosecution
was unable to prove that the fight had
been illegal. The case hinged on the
identity of the now famous "Dr.' Day,
Of whom no one seems to have any
knowledge.
While the police are satisfied that
there is no such person as Day, it is
almost impossible to establish the fact
by legal proof. The statute requires
that the principals in boxing contest
shall be examined by a physician. 1t
does not specify that the physician
shall be licentiate Of the state board
Of medical examiners, and on this point
Judge Cabaniss held there had been no
legal proof that the fight had been I'M
