THE Legislature has practically
adjourned ; at least it has stopped
enactment of laws, and all of this
week the committees on enrolled
bills, appropriations, claims and
accounts, have been getting the
work in such shape that the Legs
lature, when it meets next Monday,
will have only few hours work be-
fore winding up the session by pass
ing the appropriation bills, signing
enrolled bills and adjournment. The
Legislature has done a great amount
of work, and much of it has been
of a very valuable character. A
compulsory educational law has
been placed on the statutes, new
revenue has been provided for, a
radical change was made in the
road laws of New Castle county
especially, and many laws arranged
to meet the conditions of the times.
It was a fair average session OF the
legislatures of Delaware.

scores of cases have been invest1-

agreed to by both managers after
lengthy argument and each manager

GEORGE SUTTON
BESTS SCHAEFER
Champion Easily Demonstrates Right
to Billiard Title at
Chicago.

Chicago Nov. George Sutton last
night defeated Jake Schaefer at 49,
inch balkline, two shots i'll, by the
score of 800 to 241, and. by the victory
retained the worlds championship en-
blem for that style of billiards. The
winner averaged SO Is, running OUT
jim 10 innings, his good record beil:;
due to a brilliant run of 2S2 in the
ninth inning Schaefer averaged Is
lis, runs of SO and 80 saving the vet
eran master of the cue from being
totally outclassed.
Schaefer never played a poorer
game. He seemed badly off stroke
from the. start and was able to negu-
tate double-fgure counts in but four
innings only. His open table work
was brilliant at all times, but his drives
for position were badly timed and gen
orally short Sutton played more con
sistently failing TO count in but one
inning, the 14th. His exhibition of
nursing and driving for position in the
ninth inning was the work of maste-
but his efforts in the closing rounds
would have made a shortstop blush.

son between Independent teams has
ripened the interest in Rock Island to
such an extent that there seems to be
no doubt but that the attendance will
be record breaking There is no doubt
but that Moline would support the

Rock Island to see the game in case

Both Cities Want Game.

On account of the Importance of the
game and the fact that it will undoubt-
eddy be the best drawing game of this
season either in Moline or Rock Is
land, both cities are very DESTROYS of
having the contest at home and not
only are the teams and their support
ers interested in the selection of the
city in which to play the game but
the business men and general public
of each city, as we'll are deeply inter
ested in the result of the contest foC
the game and all who have an oppor-
tunity TO do so are pulling strongly
to have the game played at home.
Rock Island claims to have the bet
ter right to. the game on account OF
the fact that the last game between
these two teams was played in Nc
line and Moline claims that the game
would draw better in that city on ac-
much better town for football of the
independent variety.
Rock Island Aroused.
Rock Island further claims better
right to the game because of having,
a much better park in which to pull
off the contest and further claims that
it is a mistake to STATE that Moline is
a better football town than Rock Is
land. Residents of this city claim
that Rock Island will turn out a large:
crowd that was ever seen in the Mo-
line park. 1t is certainly a fact that
Fgreat interest in the game has been
aroused in Rock Island recently AMI
the tie score of last Sunday coupled
