BILLIARD CHAMPIONSHIP.
Experts Are at Odds About Time
Matches Should Be PLAYED.

NEW YORK, January 5.-Cue experts
have started n discussion which threatens
to upset the billiard world over the
question OF whether an annual tourna-
rnent should be held every year to de-
eide the championships or whether the
present system should be followed OF
playing once In while in tourna-
ment, and the winner to hold the en-
blem, subject to challenge.
The main point In the discussion. and
1t is one in which patrons of billiards are
almost as deeply Interested as the play
ers. since they pay the piper, Is over
the matter of how many points should
be played in match game for the cham
pionship In the ISL and lS.2 balk line,
the players In tho tournament held in
the Garden last spring. decided on 800.
At this meeting of players some wanted
600 points for the match games. but the
| majority decided upon the smaller num-
Der.

the Great Dampness'' for racing on the
continent of Europe, but the American
accent and the bumped seat has brought
more than one visitor good salary for
the season. Taral, who has been top of
the list In the dual kingdom OF Austria
and Hungary. has followed the fortunes
of Herr Won Pechy. who-is racing In con-
nection with Mr. Vonwillcr, while Harry
Milne was among those who were seek
ing a jocky for his stable. which is under
the patronage OF Baron Uechtrltz. one
of the stewards OF the Hungarian Jockey
Club. and the leading authority on rae
ing in that country. The rupture between
Herr Won Pechy and Milne. who had
trained for him during many years past.
as we'll as for Baron Uechtritz. caused
considerable comment at the time. but
the fact of Baron Uechtritz having de-
clned to make any change in his actual
arrangements for the training of his
horses. leads to the probable conclusion
that there must have been some mutual
misunderstanding between owner and
trainer. which may probably be smoothed
over In time. Milne has had plenty Of
patronage. and Count Henckel has sent
him his horses, 50 that perhaps rs public
trainer and with unfettered hands he will
have no cause to regret the past.

proposes to lay out broad inclosed

England. This latter project emanated
from Boston. but the automobile clubs of
Springfield. Worcester. Providence, Hart

Club OF America, it was also stated. had
lent it's sanction to the scheme, but
this was denied by President Colgate

bilt will build one OF the new Herreshoff
ffty-seven foot, one-design racing boats
next year and abandon the Rainbow. He
has not reached definite decision to do
so, but the probabilities point to it. The
seventy footers are out-classed by the
new boats. and it is only question of
time, when they will be superseded by
new rule boats Of the class. They are
no match for Effort and other new yachts

their seventies again, unless there is a

for this reason. as well as his interest In
