STEWART WINS OUT
BY A STAR SHOT
Beats Joe Todd in Handi-
cap Tourney After
Bad Start.

Fred Stewart. the New England
champion. rather surprised himself last
right in the Great Southern Handicap
pool tournament. at the National Hotel
by beating Joe Todd. the New Jersey
champion. 100 10 s..
Stewart had been feeling badly .alI
dcy. ana warned his friends not 10 back
him 10 beat Todd. but despite that ne
was made a favorite by . to 3. AMI at
those odds considerable betting was
done. The match was the closest and
most spectacular PLAYED so far in the
tournament and Todd always had more
than good chance TO win.
Stewards Great Shot.
In the tenth frame. with the score g.
tC o in favor Of Todd. Stewart made a
shot that took Todd's nerve. and really
decided the game. TodC broke apparent
ly safe with the cue ball At the head o.
the table The only chance was a
loose bali on the base Of the pyramid.
and 10 reach q Stewart had to make a
ball from the base Of the pyramid and
thus apply the necessary force TO a
three-ball combination. IL was an I'M
usual shot. requiring highly expert
knowledge OF english and direction but
he turned the trick and received an
ovation. That was the beginning OF the
end for Todd. as his opponent then ran
OF the other fourteen and was never
headed again.

Odds Against a Man

"The President denounces Mr. Har.
riman's statement in strong terms.
Mr.. Hartman therefore finds himself
In the black list In which Judge Parker
and 81. M. Whitney, OF Boston, and
Others have already been assigned
by the President. 1t Is worthy OF
note that Mr.. Hartman recorded his
recollections OF the interview with
President Roosevelt In q letter dated
December, 1905. The Presidents
recollections OF the interview are set
forth in letters dated October, 1906,
nearly q year ago. It Is probable
that Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Harri.
man both made memoranda imme.
diately after the meeting. In that
event it is astonishing that they
should be 80 far apart as to the facts.
Why is 1t that two clear-headed men
cannot understand each other, espe.
cially when one is President of the
United States? Mr.. Hartman Is now
held up before the world as one who
utters "williul and deliberate I'm.
truths" He will find 1t next to i'm.
possible to disprove this accusation.

he declined because he would be too

finally chose the department. OF Cali.

other In the army.
Taft had other views, however, for
the post, and so Gen. Macarthur
was quietly requested to select a
