ARREST OF DE ORC.
Betting on Billiard Games Suppressed
at st, Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. December 22-The ex-
odus OF the leading billiard professionals
from the east to st. Louis has received q
sudden and effective check. The cause was
brought to light when the arrest of AL
fredo De Orc was discussed In the billiard
rooms. De Orc was playing In st. Louis
academy which had but recently been es-
tabhshed quietly, and in which the Partisan
system OF betting upon short games by
prominent players was the main drawing
card George Sutton, the worlds cham
pion at 1872 bafk line: Jacob Schaefer and
the Chicago shortstop. Joseph Capron, were
all playing In the academy games when
the police of st. Louis took hand. Harry
P. Cline. the Philadelphia, who tied and
G. Cutler. had been engaged, as was his
conqueror. while negotiations were pending
with William F. Hoppe, the young 1871
champion of the world; Alexander Taylor,
Charles Peterson, Thomas ]. Gallagher and
Ora Morningstar The top-notch PLAYERS
were to receive SIS a day and the others
$50 week for their playing. in addition
to the percentage of the bets recorded as
is the custom in Paris.
Several attempts have been made to es-
tablish the Partisan system of playing short
games, upon which the spectators may
place bets with the house, In this country
Among followers of the game in this city
the news Of the stopping of the academy is
favorably received. 1t will bring about a
return to match play on the part OF the

ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST OUR ATHLETES

American athletes are considerably
aroused over what they consider DELHI
crate attempt on the part Of the English
committee in charge Of the next Olympic
games to be held in London in July, f90S.
to discriminate against our athletes. They
have discovered this intention In the an
nouncement of the English committee that
1t may be necessary to restrict the num-
Der of athletes to represent this country.
This statement coming on top of the action
of the Henley stewards in barring all
American oarsmen from the great English
regatta has given the British meet black
eye already.
Although there is good reason for the
American dislike of England's persistent
efforts to cast suspicion on American ath-
letics. it is wholly unlikely that the Eng
liSh committee had in mind any such mo-
tive as has been ascribed to it during the
last week The English committee Is as
anxious as anybody else for the success Of
this meet and coufd Lot afford to attempt
any hostile action toward American ath-
letes, either by passing their eligibility
or by limiting the number Of American
competitors. The utilization between the
Amateur Athletic Union of this country and
the Amateur Athletic Association of Eng
land is very close, much closer in fact
than the relationship between the amateur
rowing bodies of the two countries.
1t is entirely likely that America would
De represented by {. record-breaking team
at this meet. and II any effort Is made to
restrict the number of entries It will be
only because of the necessity of cutting
the number down so that the meet can be
run off properly. An American team can
be gotten together strong enough to uphold
Americas prestige on track and field. 1t
would be the height of folly for England to
attempt to defame the purity of amateur
athletics in America and until more
deliberate attempt than that discovered in
the English committees present program
is discovered there should be no criticism on
this score.

BETTING NOT A CRIME.
Places Kept Open for Constant Bet

MEMPHIS, Tenn, December 22-The
Arkansas supreme court at Little Rock sus-
tained the lower court in its refusal to
grant an injunction against the pool rooms
The decision was delivered by Chief JUS
tice HILL and sustains Judge r. J. Lea,
acting for Chancellor Hart, In the Pulaski
chancery court.
The court holds that betting on horse
racing by an individual is not a crime: that
places open for constant betting are a null
sance. and as nuisance each day kept
open is separate offense; that It is the
duty of prosecuting attorneys and grand
juries to attend to such matters by crimf-
nal proceedings, and the criminal laws are
sufficient to cover the grounds. There is
no occasion for chancery courts to take ac

opportunity to again concentrate their at

understood will be played at later date.
There Is a gap in the schedule OF from De-

holidays. and this contest may take place
some time before regular play is resumed.
1t Is hoped that by January the depart

for that night. and also the WarNayy

The firemen are bent on making :.4:s event one of the most important they have ever had in this city. Invita-. tions to the number of 150 will be is sued, that being the largest crowd that could be comfortably handled in the building.
 Contractors now state that the building will probably be ready for the firemen in about four weeks. The plastererS are at work on the lower story and will soon be through w.th that part of the structure. It VIII take about two weeks to do the painting and put on the finishing touches.
 On account of illness, Fire Chief Henkel was unable to be present last night, Assistant Sam Frankenberg oc- cUpying the chair. Twenty memDers were on hand during a session that lasted little over an hour.
 Jimmy Nichols, chairman of a com mittee appointed some time ago to have the bylaws of the department printed in book form, reported that as a result of the San Francisco fire the bylaws would have to be compiled again.
