CALVIN DEMAREST
BILLIARD GENIUS

players, Demarest is capable Of good work
in match games.
Demarest played the most brilliant BILL
lizards ever credited to an amateur in his
six-night practice match with Ora Morn
inSstar. The amateur game is 14.2 balk
line. Demarest met Morningstar at the
champions game-1S.2 balk line. The handi-
cap provided that Morningstar must run
5000 points to Demarests 1,SO0.
Morningstar was conceded to have the
best chance, as he was more familiar with
the game than Demarest. The New York
man played great billiards in this match,
making grand average of nearly twenty,
but Demarest won. The Chicago lad fin
ished his string of 1880 when Morningstar's
score was 2,20S
The young amateur registered a grand
average of 16 4-110, which was unusually
good considering the style of game, espe-
clally against a professional of champion
Demarest averaged 81 6-14 He made a
run Of 112 in his twelfth inning, and needed
but five more to finish the contest when he
missed difficult draw shot:
Several times Demarest made runs OF
more than 100. His grand average was
much better than the figures of most OF the
competitors in the recent shortstop tourna-
ment.
Morningstar Likes Him.
Ora Morningstar says of Demarest: Il
think he Is the coming champion. He
showed great execution In his games with
me. Some claim the veteran amateurs are
too foxy for Demarest, but don't think SO.
tried him out in every way. and he met
each situation with the skill of veteran"
The national governing body Of the game
adopted q rule which establishes a standard
for amateurism in billiards. There is no
compromise with professionalism. The rule
follows:
"An amateur billiard player is one who
has never competed In any open-to-all con-
test, nor played for q purse or division
Of gate money, nor received pecunfary ben
eft in any way from such contests.
Zone who has never, at any period of his
life, been proprietor Of or employed In
billiard room, nor ever taught or pursued
billiards as a means Of livelihood, nor ever
been engaged in the manufacture or sale
of billiard tables"

ster and his dam at the dispersal sale of
Gen. Smiths horses when KiHSter was in
his yearling form. He broke and drove
MIN some as yearling, and when he was
two years of age worked him some for
speed over his rough half-mie farm track.
The colt showed so much natural speed
at the trot that Mr.. Waters felt justified in
working him each season until his fve-year-
old form. when he entered him in the
county trot at the Rockville fair. This
was in 1893. and before the track was
plenty of speed in parts of the miles-so
much that the judges removed his driver,
boy. from the sulky and substituted
Thomas Cannon. the result being that Kin
ster distanced his field the next heat in
the phenomenal time of 2:24%, the time
given out being 2:27A.
Before the season closed Cannon drove
him to his present record of 2:14A, a half
in LOB and a quarter In thirty seconds,
last half and a last quarter at that. Mr..
Cannon, in discussing the subject with the
writer few days since, made the asser-
ton that If Mr.. Waters at the close of the
season had permitted him to take the stall
lion to a good mile track he could have
marked him in 2:1O or better. An ailing
leg threw Kinster out of commission the
following season. and thenceforward his
mission was in the stud.
Next to Kinstress, his best representative
out last season was the beautiful sorrel
stallion Kinslee. 2:22A, that started six
times. got four first moneys. one third and
one second money. Kenneth, FLY by
Kinster, started four times, got second
money three times and third money once.
A remarkable thing about the Minister'S Is
that they go on their courage and on the
trot. Not one of Kinster's get has ever
shown an inclination to pace. He controls
gait, temperament and color, as well as
speed. His sons and daughters are of good
size, come to their speed EARLY, and, when
raced. have the winning habit. With ad-
vantages such as should be his, from now
onward. he should close his career as one
of the greatest sires of extreme speed In
the history of the light harness turf.

Two years ago a blond youth of eighteen
began to attract attention among Chicago
billiardists because of his natural ability to
keep the worries together for runs that
much older players could not duplicate. He
did not appear to know much about the
game, but it was evident that h possessed
the instinct of a billiard player
Tom Foley, the father of billiards." was
one of the first to take note of the lad
Calvin Demarest. Prof Perkins, billiard
instructor, took Demarest in tow, and In a
few months the young man was more than
holding up his end in Chicago tournaments.
Before he flashed on the billiard world
Demarest had never spent much time walk
ing around the green table. Unlike Hoppe
and other youthful prodigies, he did not
develop until he was nearly Of age. He
never handled cue until three years ago.
Demarest's rise has become the talk Of
the billiard fraternity. Tom Foley de-
clares that Demarest can not long remain
an amateur. because he Is rapidly outstrip-
ping men in the class who have been play
ing the game for years.
1t Is the belief Of billiard men that De-
marest will rank with the great masters
of the game ere long. From a winner Of
class tournaments In Chicago, he developed
rapidly until now he Is considered Chicago's
leading amateur.
He was entered in the amateur champion
ship tournament last season. after he had
demonstrated in practice matches that he
was a better player than Charles Conklin,
Chicago man, who formerly held the
amateur title.
Demarest's Rapid Rise.
So, in two years after he first began to
handle q cue, Demarest entered the big
tournament at Chicago and finished third.
Ordinarily he would have been q good Sec
ond, for Poggenburg and Gardner tied for
the lead.
So much has the boy improved In the last
year that billiard men feel certain that he
will win the amateur tournament, which is
to be held this month. Unlike many young

The Tennessee and Arkansas legislatures
gave knockout blows to the race horse
gamblers last week by passing stringent
laws against betting. Everywhere the anti
betting sentiment is spreading. If in time
every state in the Union places upon its
statute books similar measures against
betting, the men who have made the thor
oughbred gambling machine pure and
simple have only themselves to blame In
striking a blow at the thoroughbred the
states that have already enacted stringent
laws against betting have delivered an
equally effective blow at light harness rae
ing. In the end, no doubt, all who wish to
race horses will be compelled to resort to
primitive conditions and trust to the gate
money to pay necessary expenses If the
scheme will work the sport of racing will
be the better for it. Unfortunately, thus
far, every track management that has tried
1t has had to put its hands deep down in
its pockets and make up a serious de-
hciency. Few men, however fond they may
be of sport, are particularly enamored with
this end of the game.

Tn.. future of the Brishtwood track Is

The existence of the course IS contingent
upon the extension OF 18th street, when

Military road. During the season OF 1905
numerous scandals were ailoat relative TO

present managers is that the public veal

tracks. and unless they are given clean
racing and honest sport (Which they have
right 10 demand track managers must
sooner or later nail UP their gates. Not one
valid reason can be given why the capital
OF the nation should not be in the very
forefront of light harness sport. But it
never can he and never will be until new
men come to the trent in the way of man

The cranking of an automobile, while Il
is still the subject of doubtful wit In news-
papers and on the stage, is by no means
as frequently necessary as two or three
seasons ago. In fact many of the high
class cars now~hold their charge for an
indefinite period, so well fitted are the cyln-
der and piston parts, and thus il is gener-
ally possible to start the motor by switch-
ing on the spark.
