SLOSSON DEFEATED
 Bl JAKE SHARPER
IN THE PROFESSIONAL. BILLIARD TOURNAMENT AT ORCHESTRA HALL IN CHICAGO THE SCORE 500 TO 4e5-WAS HARD GAME.

Chicago. May S.-George Slosson, the champion 1S2 billiard player, was de- feated here tonight in the professional tournament now in progress in Orchestra Hall by Jake Schaefer by the score of 300 to i95
 Failure of Slosson to get the balls out of balk when he had but five points to go cost him the game. At that time Schaefer had but APO points. Sosson left the spheres in easy position and the Chicago man soon got them together and in an in-and-out play at one end of the table clicked off the necessary 80 billiards to win the game
 It was a hard game for Sosson to lose as he played the better billiards of the two. and appeared to be a winner during the greater part of the contest Both men played safety, and on this account their average was low, as they were called upon to execute all sorts of diff cult shots.
 As an illustration of the sort of bl- lizards the men were playing, Schaefer executed shot In the seventh inning that seemed almost an impossibilty. The ob- ject balls were laid up at one end of the table while the cue ball was. almost against the far rail in a straight line Schaefer played masse the whole length of the table, hit the near ball on a curve , ,curyed to the cushion and caught up with the red ball foot and half from the !, cushion. where it should be driven by limpact of the first object ball The high l run of the game was made by Schaefer | with 1o3. Blossoms best score was SS Schaefer counted eight zeroes and Slosson 1.-two. Schaefers average was r 7-29 and \ Slossons + 2-29

Contrary to the general expectation, Tom Griffin, the Canadian champion, threw Maraulah, the Turk, in the first fall of handicap match at the Jefferson theatre last night.
 The Turk was to wrestle Griffin and Hackensehmidt and win three falls in an hour. Griffin went on the mat first, Hackenschmidt staying in reserve. After forty-five minutes Griffin succeeded in putting both of the huge shoulders of Mar aulah to the floor. Instead of winning the three falls. the Turk lost the first and consequently the match.
 Griffin weighed 190 pounds and went on the mat in fine condition. For forty-five minutes the two struggled. Griffin win ming over his adversary by toe hold com bined with d half Nelson. The Turk showed great strength but was not as quick nor skillful as his opponent.
 Griffin appeared to be familiar with all the scientific points of the game From the very first he took the aggressive and showed great endurance

Montgomery, May s.-(Speclal.)-Th game between Montgomery and Birming ham today was full of interest, although there were no sensational plays to speak Of Houtz ran Into the right field fence, knocking off several boards and robbed Salee of what looked good for three- bagger and Oyler threw the ball ten feet over Vaughan's head, which figured In the defeat of the team
 There was constant complaint by both managers on Buckleys decisions on balls and strikes, and his umps had to call Nobett and Matty down good and strong for talking back. Mullaney made sev- eral protests and Vaughan came over from first base more than once to make a cry. As a whole, however. Buckley was all right and he has made friends of the local fans by his fair work and good judgment
 Malarky hit Smith on the head in the sixth and the lank fielder looked good for going down and out. but he came up laughing and made try to steal second but was caught. Malarky played his position well and was effective when needed. He took hot one direct from Smith In the ninth that looked good for trotibla

As a general proposition the Climbers outplayed the Barons. Houtz and Nob- lett worked Sallee for passes In the second and both scored on Mullaneys long hit 10 left. In the seventh Perry got hit, McAleese drew a pass, as did Malarky. Houtz then came along and punched the ball into deep center for couple of bags Perry and McAleese scoring.
 But for the wild throw of oyler, Perry would have been out at first. As it was he got to second and was sacrificed to third by Bush. Birmingham scored only in the second. Walters and Oyler made hits, which, with dropped ball by Houtz and hard drive by Daddy Vaughan brought them both home.

First Baseman Signed.

Manager Vaughan announced last night that he had signed First Baseman Ury O. the Dallas team in the Texas league. Ury will joint the Barons in Shreveport today and will probably cover first, al- though Vaughan Is in condition to guard the sack, if Ury does not report in time.
 The new first baseman played in 125 games last season. was at bat z90 times, got 67 runs and 122 base hits, with an average of .249. His fielding average for the entire season was 97S This is con- sidered a good record
 When Ury joins Birmingham the rest of the Baron lineup will remain un- changed There seems to be no possibil- ity of securing Niles. the swift infielder with the Barons at the close of last sea son. who Is now playing with the St. Louis Americans. It was stated last night by the management that an, effort had been made to land him.. but that St. Louis recognized his ability and would not turn him loose.
 A number of suggestions and recom- mendati tions have been made as to how the lineup should be changed. but it Is hardly probable that any changes will be made at present. Vaughan Is more competent to judge where the men are able to play than anyone else, and his decision will be for the good of the team.

 All the team is in fine condition, ex- cept Reagan, who accidentally cut his hand in Montgomery. Rip" was play ing with Ginger Clark, while the lat ter was shaving. When Clark started to strop the razor Reagan grabbed the wrong hand closing his fist on the blade The injury was painful for a while, but has practically healed now, and he will be able to pitch in a few days.
 Wilhelm will be the works this after noon, with either Hickman or Fisher on the firing line for the Pirates. It Is probable that the former will do the twirling.

Vaughan Did Not Lose Game.

serious error was made in the off, cial score sent out from Montgomery It was said that Dad Vaughan was re- sponsible for the defeat Monday after noon According to the statements or all the Birmingham players and Umpire Buckley, Vaughan did not make sim gle error in the game, and the two bob bles charged to him were really made by "Silent Lou" Walters.
 It was in the ninth inning and all the bases were occupied. Schwartz knocked a grounder to first and Father Vaughan threw perfectly to Matthews, retiring the runner at the plate. Mattews then shot the ball to Walters in an attempt to make a double play Walters dropped the ball. and picking it up, threw wild, making two errors on the play
 Vaughan does not seem to mind the fact that he was wrongly charged with two errors, but the other players and the fans regret that the Baron manager should have been held responsible for defeat, when he really played fine game.

 Umpire Buckley came through Birming- ham last night and will offciate in the Shreveport series. He will return to Bir- mingham on May 20 for the first home game after the western trip. Buckley said that, as he had expected, he had no trou- ble whatever in Montgomery, and that many of the fans apologized to him for harsh criticism
 It is said that Ike Durrett. former man ager of the Pretels. left Montgomery last night It is not known positively where he will go, but it Is said that he may land in the outlaw league.
 Garvin said last night that he was feel ing in fine shape and hoped to catch in the next few days. He was very active on the coaching line in Montgomery and Atlanta.

Adopted by Electric Light Company.
Strung Feed Wires on Telephone
Poles to Canal Fulton.

Canal Fulton, April 1S.-Our citizens
were greatly surprised on Tuesday
evening when promptly at. 6 O'Clock
they saw bright dazzling light burst
forth from the new lamps that had
been hung during the day by the elec-
trict light company
Owing to difficulties encountered in
securing the right of way from Mas
sillon to this place it was expected
that the company would be unable to
complete their line in time to furnish
light by May 1 to fulfill their con-
tract. However, by the clever trick of
stringing their feed wires on the Bell
telephone poles under the guise of be-
ing telephone wires, they completed
their circuit. The trick was suspect
ed by most of the citizens, but it was
not expected that the current would
be turned on until the first of May.
1t was only done at this time to show
that the obstruction thrown in their
way had been overcome. b

Attorney John G. Welty has re-
ceived a letter from a man now serv-
ing sentence in the penitentiary at
Deer Lodge, Montana, who is anxious
to forget his past and begin life over
again under more promising condi-
tions. The letter is filled with pathos
and regrets.
1t came to Mr. Welty some time in
February, somewhat in the nature OF
surprise, as Mr. Welty does not
know the man and never heard of him
before. He believes the stranger Sc
cured his name through some morse
man owing to Mr. Welty's connection
with the horse world.
In this letter the prisoner explains
that he is anxious to make a future
for himself, after securing his release.
With this end in view he asks the as
'sistance of Mr.. Welty in selling for
him handmade, horse hair riding
bride, which is estimated to be worth
about 500. The prisoner gives his
name as James Cavanaugh and says
that one time he lived in Steuben-
vile. His letter follows:

you will pardon me for writing to you

AS Cavanaugh was only allowed to
write. one letter a month it has taken
him three months to explain his prop
osition to Attorney Welty and get the
riding bride here. 1t was the finest
M. Welty ever saw and will be dis
posed of later on in some manner.
Alfred Klein of the Courtland hotel
has also taken an interest in the prop
osition to provide Cavanaugh with the
necessary education and has agreed
to have the bride displayed at the
cigar stand in the Courtland hotel
Just what method will be used to dis
pose of the bride will be determined
later on. Mr.. Welty said that sub
scriptions of one dollar each woulC
probably be taken and a committe,
appointed later to award the bride.
