Steamer Resumes Service.

The steamer Charles Manchester of the
Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall line went
into commission yesterday. making trips on
the river for the first time in about four
months. The steamer is making two round
trips each week day, one In the morning
and the other in the afternoon, to Marshall
Hall and Mount Vernon. The schedule will
be continued until the opening of the sum-
mer excursion season on the river.
Since last season the Manchester has been
to Baltimore, where she was fitted with
new boilers, had her main deck rebuilt and
was put in thorough order for her coming
summer work. 1t is expected that the
MAC" will be kept quite busy carrying
tourists to Mount Vernon. Washington Is
always a mecca for visitors In the spring
and summer. and it Is estimated that more
than half the visitors to the Jamestown
exposition will visit this city. either COM
ing from or going to their homes. Nearly
every visitor to Washington makes a side
trip to Mount Vernon, and the Macalsster
will carry q large proportion OF them 10

NATIONAL AMATEUR
BILLIARD TOURNEY

NEW YORK, March 12.-Charles Conkin
of Chicago won the twelfth game in the ma
tional amateur billiard tournament at the
Liederkranz Club last night by defeating J..
F. Poggenburg of the Liederkranz Club. The
final score was 300 to 1Sl in Conklin's favor.
The winner made a high run of 6S. and av-
eraged L. Poggenburgs high run was 40,
and his average 1924.
Conkln appeared "stumped' on his last
shot, for the balls were in difficult posi-
ton in the center of the table. The Chicago
man studied and walked about so much be-
fore making the shot that the audience be-
came highly amused. When Conkin did
make the shot successfully he was loudly
cheered.
About 10 of the regulars were on hand
to cheer the contestants with their pres
ence All of the spectators were just as in
teres;ed in the game as If it were the only
one OF the tournament. One man, a
''rooter'' for Poggenburg, actually implored
the balls to go on there when the IGeder-
kranz player made shot The same man
evinced much disappointment whenever his
favorite missed a shot.
Conklin won the bank and began the game
using the spot ball. He clicked off one
point, then paused to remove his coat. after
which he resumed his cue work and made
eight points in his first inning. Poggenburg
also scored eight in his first inning.
After scoring ten in the fourth inning
| Poggenburg missed his next shot by a
| hairs breadth. the white ball stopping SO
| close TO the red one that Referee McLaugh-
| lin had to look closely to make sure that
| the balls were not frozen.
The balls were in a difficult position on
| Conklin's eighth shot in the next inning
| and the Chicago man climbed all over the
| table while trying to figure out just how
to make the shot successfully He missed
when he finally did try. Poggenburg missed
! his first attempt in the fifth inning. and the
score stood lO2 to 81 in Conklin's favor. In
| their next inning Conklfn and PoggenburG
| scored 40 and 80 respectively, and then both
men had a streak of bad. luck. Poggenbure
made only two points In the next six innings
| and the Chicagoan clicked OF only IS in hi.
| next eight innings.
After this each man had good inning
| and then the bad luck returned. In his
/ eighteenth inning Poggenburg hit the white
/ ball so hard that II jumped completely oveI
I the object ball. The Liederkranz player
/ was given one point on a miss, and Conklir
| again began to click of the points. He
| stopped after missing on his twenty-thirt
| shot.

Montrose won another race yesterday. 1t
was her sixth consecutive victory. Her
early speed carried her into winning lead

won all the way. When she passed the win
ming post she was in front by length and
a half Dew of Dawn was second. This pair

she was never in danger of defeat. She was
as nimble on her feet as cat at the start
and pranced like a colt.
