BILLIARDS.

With sppetites whetted by the worlds cham
pionsfip match on Tuesday at ISL between
Willie Hoppe and George r. Slosson. billiard
lovers are looking forward 10 the International
tournament next week in which seven OF the
greatest masters OF the cue and balls will figure
The contestants will be Willie Hoppe. George T.

George Sutton, Louis Cure and Albert Cutler
This tournament will he at 1S-inch bslk line two

the balls have 10 travel distance Of at least
eighteen inches on every shot except when in
the middle space. The victory OF Hoppe over
slosson on Tuesday is still the subject OF much
talk The followers of the Student" were
syrisvously disappointed in his play. and, because
the game dragged along for four hours and rec
ord runs and record averages were not even ap-
preached. are disposed to make light Of Hopes
euccess. The match was disappointing in some
respects, as the work OF the players in practice
had led 20 the feeling that something OF the SEN

The fact remains, however, all things consid-

and SloEson. who has been considered the peer
OF all others IN this respect, could claim no ad-
vantage along this line. Hoppe did ali that was
required OF him IN a way 20 impress those who
watched the struggle from entirely neutral

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

The opening of the professional league oaseoaA
season is at hand. In less than two weeks me
fans will be in their accustomed place ana the
long fight for the pennants will be fairly unoer
way. The Giants the Highlanders and the Su-
perhas have pulled up sticks at their regular
Southern training camps and started on
junketing trip for home. A number OF exnlol-
ton games will be played at various places on
the way, but early next week the teams Will be
here to put on the final touches before their
admirers. The work in the South has served its
purpose well. even If the teams have been handi-
capped by an unusual amount OF rain and cold
weather. The men are said to be in excellent
condition and quite ready to give of their best
from the first call of play BALL" Some care will
have TO be used with the pitchers if the weather
is cold for the first two three weeks, but the
other players should be quite ready to cut loose
and play good ball from the start, without any
particular danger 10 their arms. They should
have their eye on the ball. too, as oppor-
tunity has been lost TO give them plenty of bat
ting practice The champion Giants are quite
as strong as they were last year and in line for
the honors again, with good prospects of being
successful That team work which played such
an important part in winning the pennant in
the National League last year should not be
lacking this season. The men have been playing
together long that they are well Versed in
this most essential feature. and McCraW is not
the man to let il deteriorate in the slightest par
ticular. The Highlanders are strong, too, and
IL is not without the bounds Of possibility that
the American League pennant will also float
over New York when the season is over. The
team is good one. and with less hard luck
than 81 suffered last year, is well able TO bring
the championship here. The Superbas are more
or less of an unknown quantity, but the team
has been strengthened TO all Appearances and
is likely TO make better fight than year ago.
There Is a treat in store for the local enthusi-
asts II there is anything in prospects. and plenty
of chance to root for two championship teams.

The Automobile Club OF France has made
some changes in the conditions for the Grand

which will be held on June 26 and p. In brief
they are as follows:
Any manufacturing concern may enter three
machines for the race itself There VIII be no
preliminary trial. The contest viii extend over
two days. On the first morning the machlnes
will be sent away AT o'clock for run OF oOo
kilometres (about 375 mies). AS the machines
complete the run they will be timed and placed
in separate boxes and guarded until the follow
ing morning IN exactly the same condition as
in which they finished. On the second day
they will be signaled off in the order of arrival
on the first day. During the race all repairs TO
machinery, changes in tires, filling of water and
gasolene tanks and other work on the cars must
be executed by the drivers and their machinists
No workmen VIII be permitted to assist in any
detail. Another new regulation prohloits the
employment of exhaust tubes through the side
of the bonnet This will check the sheets OF

immense east-andwest-bo business;
that the livestock movement was the
heaviest ever known; that repair and
construction work was taking men and
equipment from the regular service

The ''Why" of it

In all piano players the opportunities"
are the vital part of the entire mechanism.
In all piano players except the
Cecilian, these spneumatics'' are made of
wood and leather-and that's where the
trouble comes in. -. .. ---~....~
Ever get your shoes wet and have them
dry hard and stiff? Leather will do thatin
damp weather for it absorbs the moisture.
Ever had door or a window stick
in your house? It's because the wood
swells during damp weather. -
That's the trouble with the wood
and leather "pneumatics.' -.
They are affected by the constant
changes in the weather and can't do
their work properly. .
In the Cecilian Piano Player mechanism,
the "pneumatics" and the wind chest are
made of metal .brass, steel ard phosphor
bronze,- ather doesn't affect them in
any way. They don't swell, neither do
they shrink and that's why they are .
always in perfect working order. ...~.:
The Cecilian Piano Player is the only
mechanism in the market in which the
spneumatics are made Of metal and it !.
has numerous other points OF superiority =
whichwe will take pleasure in showing you.
The Cecilian Piano Player mechanism
is built into the Sohmer-Cecilian Piano, the
Farrand- Cecilian Piano and also in cabinet
form ready to be attached to any piano.

and perfect of all piano players.

PAPER ON MODERN PACKING

Secretary of State Board of Health In
vestigates Sanitary Conditions Of
Abattoirs and Finds Nothing OBJ

for Sake of Down-Rlver Feelings.

St. Paul is still trying to keep up the
fight against the settlement of the Ar

South st. Paul interests, headed by |
A. B. Sticlney Of the Great Western
road, are the chief movers, but they
have secured the cooperation Of the
St. Paul Commercial club and Jobbers
union.
BY careful work where it was neces-
sary, the St. Pau! interests have
squelched a report to the state board
Of health in which it was announced
that no disagreeable features surround
a modern packing plant, conducted on
modern methods After raising hue

DR.. H. M. Bracken, as secretary Of

has in the last few months inspected
several, and his findings included in

for instance, that the modern plant in

nearby resident was concerned, a first
class butcher shop, without a constant
pail of evil smells and filth contaminat-
ing air and streets. Other plants were
covered, and in the main it was said
that modern abattoirs are not nuis-
ances.
St. Paul Is Spared.
The paper was presented but it's
findings were not adopted. St. Paul
members Of the board, it is reported
thought that it was hardly necessary
or timely to take action. The st. Paul
feeling on the matter was offered as a
reason. Using this as stall, the re-
port was squelched and no Endorsement
secured, tho it is believed the real in.
fuence was to kill the report that St
