GEORGE SUTTON HAS
TWO GOOD CUE
TITLES
For First Time in Games His
tory One Man Holds Both
Championships.

George Sutton acquired billiard hon
ors last week never before held by
one man. He became the champion of
both styles of play adopted by the pro-
fessionals-1S-2 and 1871. He has held
the 1872 title since winning it from
George Slosson early in the fall, and
the 1871 mantle fell upon his shoulders
early in the week, when Willie Hoppe
defaulted.
Sutton will have a chance to lose
his 1872 championship, for he meets
Ora Morningstar, a most dangerous OPP
ponent. at Orchestra hall, two weeks
from tomorrow night.
Thomas Foley, an authority on bill
lizards, thinks the 1871 game should be
discarded. There is really so little
difference between 1871 and 1872 that
it would be good thing for billiards
to drop one of the games. 1t is only
a matter of one shot in balk, and that
is of too small consequence to con-
fuse the public with two champion
ships.
"Eighteen-inch balk line, two shots
in balk, is the best game for cham
pionship play, as it is not affected
quite so much by the element of luck
as the 1871 game, and therefore should
be maintained as the only contest for
which the worlds emblem be given.
The 1871 game has been played only
about ten years, while the other style
has long been recognized as the best
standard from which to Judge the play
ers of the first class. A player like
Sutton has more chance to turn brill
liant tricks at 1872 than when he is
allowed but one shot in balk. More
driving is necessary to the 1871 game,
which gives the luck element a chance
to come in. That makes it possible for
an inferior player, with things break
ing his way, to defeat champion more
often that he could at 1872. If the bill
liardists want a lucky game, let them
play three cushions.
The Morningstar-Sutton match is
growing in interest. The billiard pub
lie at first regarded Morningstar strict
ly as dark horse. That has been pref
ty we'll changed in the last few days
and from the very fact that Sutton is
putting in at least five hours of hard
practice every day, it is seen that the
champion does not hold his opponent
cheaply

BENZ ADMITS HE IS
GUILTY WAS
P|NCHED
Stole a Trunk Case Will Come
Up in the Municipal Court
This Afternoon.

Harry Benz, charged with grand
larceny, was arrested Wednesday night
by Officer Panzrum, and Is today con-
fined in the city hail. He is charged
with stealing a trunk, and admits his
guilt.
Benz is young man, and for some
time mas been employed on the Nor
thern Pacific. Last Sunday, a young
man named Teideman came to East
Grand Forks to attend school. His
father accompanied him, and the young
mans trunk was left In the sleigh over
night. The next morning it was gone.
Assistant Chief Buckley started an
investigation, and soon found some Of
the contents in the home of Harry
Benz. A warrant for his arrest was
Secured, and he was landed last eve
ming.
1t Is probable that as ne admits his
guilt, he will be bound over to the
district court. His case comes up
some time this afternoon.

FIELD GOALS COUNT
TOO MUCH IS
OPINION
DIR. Lee of Nebraska Criticises
the Football Scores Would
Have a Change.

DR.. j. T. Lees, president of the ath-
letic board of the university of Ne
braska, and a member of the inter-
collegiate rules committee, which
framed the rules under which football
was played during the season just
closed, is in favor of only one I'M
portant change.
If DR.. Lees is again chosen to rep
resent the northwestern states on the
committee, which will meet shortly
after the holidays, he will recommend
that the value accorded goal from the
field be cut down by one point.
In his opinion the new rules have
laid so much stress on punting and
drop kicking that the field goals are
in danger of becoming more efficient in
piling up scores than the old reliable
touchdown. He believes a field goal
should be counted as half the value of
a touchdown goal, or three points in
stead of four.
DR.. Lees stand on the matter is
largely the result of the experience of
the Nebraska team during the last
season. The Cornhuskers were defeat
ed four times and seventy-three points
were scored against them. Forty-four
of these came from eleven goals from
the field, while the remainder were due
to five touch-downs and four resulting
goal kicks. One of the Nebraska's de-
feats was due wholly to goals from the
field, while in each of the other three
games the Cornhuskers opponents in
creased their lead by material margins
through good kicking. Twenty of the
Maroons' thirty-eight points scored
against the Cornhuskers were due to
Eckersall's boot.
II think the present rules give too
much value to field goals" said DR..
Lees. "a good kicker can easily score
four points for his team if the latter
succeeds in forcing the ball half way
to its opponents goal line. Advantage
Of this fact was taken in almost every
game played this year, in the west at
least, and so much stress has been
laid upon it that few teams cannot
claim a kicker who can be depended
on to put the ball over the bar if
his companions carry it to the twenty
five yard line. 1t is easier and safer
to attempt goal from the twenty
five yard line than it is to risk losing
the ball on the attempt to carry it
over the goal line from that point"

AHLR0THANDRANK
These Two Fast Ones May Get
Together at an Early
Date.

Duluth, Jan. 10.-"I will race Ran
kin three mile heats, or three heats Of
any distance from mile to two miles.
or three heats, the first to be a half
mile. the second mile, and the third
two miles. should prefer to race
three one-mile heats, as the mile is
my distance, but as Rankin knows I
can beat him at that, don't suppose
he can be induced to race on those
TERMS" said Carl Alroth, the Duluth
skater. yesterday.
He had just received a letter from
Rankin offering to skate him three
half-mile heats in the Copper country
or at st. Paul, all expenses paid, and
the winner to take all of purse of
$25. Alroth admits that Rankin can
beat him on the half-mile, but is con-
fident that he can clean up his man
at a mile distance, and as it was three
one-mile heats which gave Rankin his
claims to the championship of the
Head of the Lakes last winter over
Alroth. Alroth thinks it no more than
fair that Rankin should race him the
same distance this time.
Rankin is an exceptionally fast man
on the half, having made Norval Baptie
let himself out to his best pace for
that distance, but his staying powers
are not so prominent. Alroth is es-
sentially distance man. and naturally
does not care to go up against Rankin
on short dash contest.
Alroth has written to Rankin the
conditions under which he will race
and Is awaiting a reply.
Should the Duluth skater go to the
Copper country, It Is probable that
Rankin will give him a return race In
the Central rink here, as that was the
understanding In the Copper country

ney to Canada by Private Convey.

Manning, March 26.-Mr. White

promptly at 10 o'clock yesterday for
Canada. He is native Of this coun-
ty, or rather he was born and lived in
this section until he became grown
and decided to go west, where he liv-
ed for many years and has just re-
Gently returned TO South Carolina on
a visit and while here he decided to
eqip himself for trip to Canada he
has busted himself for the past sew
eral months preparing for the jour
ney. He made a special wagon, COW
cred it with canvas cloth on the style
Of the old-time tobacco wagons from
the mountains of North Carolina and
Tennessee and loaded up with every
thing that person could possibly use
on such a trip. It was a sad depart
ure, indeed seeing a friend leave alone
| to take such a trip by private con-
veyance knowing the trials ard tribu-
! lations one would necessarily have to
undergo on such a journey. Mr..
| Thompson stated to your. correspond
ent that it had always been his de-
sire to live in Canada and that few
months ago he decided to make the
trip and was confident Of safe arriv-
al if he was not held up by some ras-
cal as he once was in Texas, and he
related that experience in this man
ner: "a fellow held me up in south
ern Texas once and had his gun IN
my face before I could think and de-
manded my money. I had the fore
thought and said tG him that l had
only 81 and would give him SIS, as l
didn't think he should take the last
cent I had. He said: Very we'll, IL
you don't squal on me-. passed
him over the five spot and went on
my way Mr.. Thompson will go into
the cattle business or that is his pres
ent intention, but being an old man he
might change his plans.

dets of the South Carolina Military

contradictory statements were made.
The three boys under charges left
the academy and later nine others
also went out through a side entrance.
When they came back they were in
formed that one hour would be given
them for securing their baggage. The
cadets are from Greenville, Columbia,
Charlotte and st. Matthews. No in
formation would be given out by
the superintendent or the command

number had broken garrison in a
manner to preclude all possibility Of
their returning. The cadets belong to
