cent exposure and prosecutions, there
will be,a revelation of rottenness that
will astound the country and create a
demand for a Democratic administra-
ton to clean the Government work
shop.
To wi II the House we need money to
defray legitimate expenses and get on
our vote. We have no protected mo-
nopolies from which to draw to fill our
golfers, as they do those of the Repub-
lican party We must, therefore, ap-

SAYS HE SOLD HIS LUCK.
Swapping Stories on Taking Risks in
 Games of Chance.

A couple of old sports were swap ping stories in a barber shop when one remarked that he doesn't put up anything on the games now, adding that he never won anything since he sold his luck years ago. In explana- ton of this the man said that when he was a youngster he won a beauti- full fur cap at fair. but as he didn fancy that kind of head gear he sold 1t and he knows that with the sale went all the good fortune that had attended him in the game of chance up to that time. He tried on and on after. but he thinks he wouldn't have struck the lucky number if he bought up all the tickets, so he final ly withdrew from the field altogeth- CT. "The same thing" here chimed in one of the barbers, except that l haven't yet given up. had great luck on games of chance until won a briar pipe and let go for what l could get for 1t. Well, I've captured few prices since, but nothing worth mentioning.
 These remarks were brought on account of talk regarding the suc- cess that attends some people who purchase prize tickets at entertain ments and make fortunes out of them.

THE POOL MYSTERY.
Step Up and Examine One MT Split
 tenberger.

Splittenberger, that's the name De travels under but in all probability lt is simply cognomen used for the oc- casion. The fellow is pool player and he opposed Bob Stone at Wooster parlors last evening. Stone was nov in the sharks class and went down to defeat by the score of 15O to Is Splittenberger, who is printer py trade. has been hanging around the pool room the past ten days and has taken a few dollars from some or the easy money people. Eli Pakulski, pro prietor of the parlors played the rel low. So he then arranged a game Tor Stone last night. when the westerner showed what he knew about the game. His manner of play was pecu- liar and before the contest was on long. the. unknown had the eyes of all riveted upon him. He played for his opponents nerve all during the game. Although he would have an easy shot in front of him. he would fuss around the table. making pre- tense that he was going to try more difficult one only to go back to the easy one after he dickered around the bnlls for fully minute. This with the fellows clever shooting WAS enough to take Stones nerve and the latter never had look in. It must he admitted that Stone had hard luck, but even if the worries rolled his way he would have had much trouble in defeating the sharg.
 In ringside seats were all the local cue manipulators and thay opened their eyes in wonderment at the skill of the man with the sfoueh hat.
 Splittenberger said that he was a printer by trade hut went out on strike with the craft out fin St Louis and then started to try his skill at ihs green able. Although he could shoot fairly we'll he did not expect to make living at 1t. hut picked up few dollars here and there as he went round tbe country. He does not intend to stay in this city long. but he Is will ing to take on anyone who thinks hc can defeat him. His story sounds all right judging from his play he has been living on the table since he was boy

WAS GREAT FINISH.

Holyoke, May 16.--Holyoke won a great fourteen inning pitchers bat tie from New Haven here yesterday, after a struggle that brought out the best. and a touch of the worst, of both teams. Dolan and Corcoran pitched the sort of ball that allowed men to get on bases often enough 10 make the scoring of runs frequently and so kept the crowd on edge all the while. But both showed la remarkable ability to get ont of the tight holes they repeatedly got into. The game ended only when Lepine's swat to left with two ont in the fourteenth sent Fleming over the plate, making the score 2 to I.

HARVARD SLIGHT TO QuAKERs.
Curt Notification of Dropping Foot
 ball Sent on Postal Card.

Philadelphia. May 16.--It leaked out yesterday that Harvard's refusal to play football with the University of Pennsylvania had been sent couched in the curtest of terms and upon a plain penny postal card. As a result of what is considered here a deliberate insult the whole univer- sity from provost down is up in arms and every relation with Harvard, so- cial as we'll as athletic. is likely to be severed.
 While the student body ascribes the discourtesy to the enmity of Czar Bill Reid, head coach of Harvard. the athletic committee points out the fact that the names signed tosthe postal and that the slight must have been with their full knowledge.
 The postal was received by Dr Ed gar F. Smith, assistant provost. I've discontinue the football games with the University of Pennsylva- mia so that our football schedule may be frightened" it read.
 "The university as a body will take no action on this" said Dr Smith. "we feel that the insult will react more on Harvard than on us. -
 Haryard's action is ascribed here to pique. upon being whipped so ire Quently by Pennsylvania.

BILLIARDS
sCHAEFER HAS CHALLENGED
 THE BOY EXPERT.
Match May Take Place in the Fall--
 Sutton After Slosson.

Jake Schaefer has challenged Will Ham Hoppe. the champion at 1s:l balk line, for the trophy and title at that style of game. The Wizard s challenge. accompanied by forfeit of S2jO, was received by the B. E. (. Co. yesterday. It is probable that the match will be played next October. If Echaefer insists. the game must be played within sixty days, as called for by the conditions. but it is under stood that Schaefer as well as Hoppe would prefer to wait until fall and cool weather.
 There is talk of changing the rules to make champion matches at 1S.1 400 points long instead of 800 as at pres ent. Five hundred points, it Is argued. makes tco long game when 1s,1 is played. hut there might be opposition to the change.
 George Sutton has rechallenced George Slosson for the 1S:2 champion ship When Sutton challenged before 1t was in the course of the 1S:2 tour nament In the Garden, and at that time 1t was no sure thing that Sutton wouM not win the tournament him. self. Tn order that there may be no question as to the propriety of the challenge Sutton has made 1t over again. his previous forfeit remaining up. This match too. will be played in the fall. maybe in September. though October was first agreed on.
 At Hopes room last night the win- RSy of the recent 1S.2etouvnament f1, Chicago began a 3.600 point con. test at 1892 with Louis Cure. Hoppe showed fine form in the Chicago tonr- ney. and there was big crowd on hand to see him tackle the French man. The latter played better billiards than the youth in tlie first block of points and won by score of 400 to 245 The winner finished strong. with successive breaks of A, 64 and 57
