Matter Is in the Hands OF the
Champion, Who Alone Can
Change the Rifle.

NEW YORK, February 16--Bliardists y
are wondering whether. If Schaefer
should defeat Sutton in their 1871 balk-
line contest for the worlds championship &
In Chicago, March 1ltll, the next holder
Of the emblem will consent to a change
In the governing rules whereby future
contests will be OF 5000 instead of 800
points. Wise people say no. Ignorance
of the rules governing the trophy has
caused much misunderstanding. These
rules give the holder of the emblem the
privilege OF naming any place in the
country where he has a legal residence
as tho battle-ground when challenged. TO
change the rule governing the number
Z OF points, which simply reads, All COM
tests shall DO Of 500 points up 1t would
be necessary for the holder OF the ems
blem to surrender 1t to the donors. Then
q conference would be called of all play
crs eligible for championship honors, and 4
they would decide upon the change pro-
posed. It is the players who decide these
matters, not the donors Of the emblem.
In discussing this matter, Maurice DAILY
said: There is no doubt that in 1000
point match u better opportunity Is al
forded to test individual merit than In
a one-nght's game OF 500 points. A play
er may be off one night but come back
