"6lLLIARo TRusT!"

ST. LOUIS, De-. H.-ora Morningstar. the
we'll known balkline billiard player now in ST
Louis, condemns Jake Schaefer and George
Sutton for challenging each other for the Is Il
and 1872 balkline billiard championships instead
Of giving other players a chance at the emblem
and declares the titles held in trust
Morningstar declares he picked the winners
as soon as the matches were made. Schaefer
holds the 1871 title and Sutton the 1872 cham
pionship. Schaefer challenged Sutton for the
1872 title and Sutton went after the 1s1 title.
Sutton defeated Schaefer and retained his is
title. Schaefer defeated Sutton and retains
his 1871 title. Before the matches they trav-
eled about giving exhibitions. They are now
booked to give exhibitions for about sixty
days, according to MornIngstar. and sutton
will hardly fit to play him for the is q
championship before that time
Alfred Jeliffe. the local billiard promoter,
declares Sutton wanted one OF the matches
decided in ST. Louis. but he told him that he
would not give $500 Tor the gate receipts be-
cause Schaefer and Sutton are looked upon
in st. Louis as friendly players and The
match would not draw. Jeliffe stated that
many persons figured that the worst either
man would get as the result OF the matches
would be a swap of titles.

cRIMsoN-RULLDoe GAME
COSTS A COOL MILLION

That football is an expensive game every
body knows, but few persons know just what
great expenditures the big college games
cause. A Boston football sharp has figured
out that the annual game between Yale and
Harvard alone puts at least sl,OOO,OOO in crcu-
lation.
The two university football associations
alone spend about 100000 in order to enable
their elevens to clash with any degree of
mutual confidence. Add to that amount the
cost which the public incurs in order to witt
ness the contest between the great intercol-
lcgiate rivals-an indeteFminate. but obviously
very large sum-and even the individual who is
not afflicted with views on the Importance of
the Harvard-Yale football match must be inn
pressed
The end of all efforts at Soldiers and Yale
fields is shis event. Hence any presentation
of the financial aspect of the November day
which neglects to include mention of the ex-
uenses OF tn preliminary season loses sight OF
the fact at the preliminary season is rightly
named
Last year Harvard spent about $500; Yale
went this figure several points better by SPEND
ing $4,000. In the previous year. when the
game was played on the stadium gridiron, Har-
ward spent $4,000

HIS LHE'S
SECRET is
LAID BARE

TIVE secret of Red Perkins life is out.
For many years the yet to be fam
Il Gus impresario has tried to hide
from an admiring public his real name,
hiding behind the cognomen of Red, and
the efforts of Pinkertons entire sleuth
layout could not drag the mystery from
the fiery-topped magnate.
| But the other day Red slipped and,
without thinking of the consequences,
pulled out his handbook to show how
easy it was to become a millionaire even
liz not a member of the steel trust. There,
in big letters across the front of the
book Reds true identity was revealed,
and the entire world (of course Red is
famous all over the world), now knows
that his true name is Montmorency Clar-
ence Alexander Perkins.
Just how Red has surmounted this
handicap and climbed to the top of the
heap Is hard to fathom. A name like
that has led many deserving young
man to suicides grave, and that Per-
lxins was able to overcome a tendency
toward self-destruction boosts him more
than ever in the esteem of his friends.
Despite the fact that his true identity
lis revealed, Mr.. Perkins will go right
ahead and be father to all aspiring
ball teams. His leagues, of which he has
formed eighty-nine this year, are all ir
ifourishing condition, and in seasons yet
before him Red expects to have control
Iof every baseball organization in the
country outside of the Three 1 league.
Hen Berry and the Pacific coast bunch
will be taken in first, and then the
Americans and Nationals are expected
to come through and recognize true worth
by running to shelter under Reds pro-
Itecting wing.
Managing and organizing baseball
leagues is but small part of Mr.. Per-
kins life, for he has aspirations toward
journalism. Already several bright and
breezy articles have emanated from his
fertile brain and well-oiled typewriter,
and with others yet to come the liter

and Princeton goes through, and it is
promised it will. Cornell will likely have
to make a switch in her plans. With
Harvard, Yale and Princeton all playing
two hard games, none of them will feel
inclined to take on Cornell. except prob
ably early in the year, when the game
would be looked upon as a practice game
and be OF no general Importance. Conse-
ouently it could not be expected TO IN
crease the treasury to any great extent.
If the four -cornered deal goes through,
the proposition is made, and it is not a
brand new one, that Yale and Harvard
and Penn and Princeton would play, and
then the winners and losers meet in the
following games.
Regarding the Harvard-Princeton COM
pact, the gentleman mentioned above,
who is responsible for the information,
said:
81 am sure Princeton and Harvard have
fixed matters so that a football game be-
tween them is again an assured thing.
In fact, from what was told at cam
bridge, game between them is as
much of a certainty as that Thanksgiving
will be observed again next year. talked
with a lot o. representative Princeton and
Harvard men and all were in favor of the
two making up. What was more, they
seemed to think that radical change IN
the schedule of football games would be
made next year. Another suggestion Is
that Pennsylvania play Princeton, the
student bodies of both being strongly in
favor of such game, the petty opposi-
ton of a few Princeton alumni to 1t In
this city Notwithstanding.
What many college men would like to
see would Re the getting together OF all
four Of the universities. Now, Princeton
was dissatisfied with her game with the
Indians at New York. 1t smacked too
much of a hippodrome. She is anxious to
get away +: ON that sort of thing, and
what would be more interesting than
contest on the gridiron between her and
Penn or Harvard?
There has simply got to be a change.
Even Penn men admit that her victory
over Michigan was an empty one and VINO
can say where Yale stands after her VIC
tories? Let the Big -Four get together
and determine for once and all who really
deserves the supremacy in tho east"
Manager Disston of the Pennsylvania
football team said yesterday he knew
nothing Regarding Cornell's wish to play
alternately IT Ithaca and Philadelphia.
He said:
ct have received no official or unofficial
notification from Cornell relative to Penn
sylvania playing at Ithaca on alternate
years Anyhow, that Is a question which
would have to come before the football
committee Cor decision, but feel sure
that we world not consent to such re-
quest. Pennsylvania big day is Thanks
giving, and 1t is hardly likely that she
would consent to give up that date to
please any college. This is not a case o.
being selfish. but matter of policy, for
Penn could not afford to lose the inn
mense revenues that are derived from the
Thanksgiving day games"

NEW TECHNICAL BOARD FOR
AMERICAN AUTO ASSOCIATION

President William II. Hotchkiss of the
American Automobile association an
nounces the appointment of the new
technical board. which was authorized
at the annual meeting of the board of
directors held in New York November
s, 1907:
N. H. Van Sicklen, chairman. Chicago,

David Beecroft, Chicago, Ill.

Henry Ford, Detroit. Mich.
II. M. Rowe, Baltimore. Md.

A. L. Rinker. Bridgeport, Conn.
Roy f. Britton. st. Louis, Mo.
While it has been customary for the
chairmen of the boards to nominate the
members to the president for appoint
ment, in this instance. however, Chair
man Van Sicklen waived the right and
requested President Hotchkiss to name
such persons as he thought were best
qualified to perform the important work
of the technical board The appointments
are, therefore, besides the present tech
nical advisers of the racing board,
Messrs. E. R. Thomas. A. L. Riker ana
Henry Ford. largely the nominees of the
various state associations. While the
committee now numbers seventeen. it is
quite probable that the membership will
be increased by additional nominees from
the affiliated clubs and state associa-
tions.
AT the suggestion of President Hotch-
kiss. 1t is quite likely that David Bee
croft of Chicago. a member of the board,
will be named as its secretary and vice

JUST THE SAME AS CURRENCY.
Third Son Felt He Had Nothing to
 Reproach Himself with.

William knoepfel, of St. Louis, has invented and hopes to patent a secret blowing method for the cure of bald ness. "A genuine cure for badness" said Mir Knoepfel the other day, should make man very rich. Why, amazing, 1t really is, what fakes some of these cures are. Yet there's money in them" MT Knoepfel gave a loud, scornful laugh. ''In their crookedness they remind me-" he said. of the third son of the old eccentric. Per haps you have heard the story? Well, an old eccentric died and left his for tune equally to his three sons. But the will contained 8 strange proviso. Each heir was to place $100 in the coffin immediately before the inter- ment. A few days after the interment the three young men met and discuss ed the queer proviso and its execu- tion. We'll said the oldest son, my conscience Is clear. put my hundred in the coffin in clean, new notes. My conscience is clear, too,' said the sec ond son. put in my hundred in gold. I, too, have nothing to reproach my self with said the third son. I had no cash at the time, though; so wrote out a check for $500 in poor, dear fathers name, placed it in the coffin and took in change the $200 in currency that 1 found there'"

NOT LIKE ANY SHE HAD SEEN.
Why Chicken Seemed Peculiar to
 Small City Girl.

Little Isabel had been so unfortu- nate as to have lived most of her six years in boarding houses. Now, the boarding house chicken, as every one knows who has had any experience with that curious fowl seems large ly composed of wings and legs. It generally fell to IsabeIs lot to draw leg. Consequently 1t was with great surprise that on her first visit to the country she contemplated a real live chicken on its native heath. She had been told that 1t was a chicken, but she had her doubts until treasured by her mother. Even then she was not quite satisfied Mystified, as though grappling with some problem beyond her power to reason out, she ex- claimed: But, see, mamma, it only has two legs."

4 NEW HISTORY.

Characterizing as scandalous the in- difference of Southerners to the history of the South, Mr. Thomas N. Page. of Virginia, poet and author, predicts that unless the real history of the United States is written within the next 100 years the South will forever be believed to have blocked the way of civilization with it's slavery.
 No real history of the United States, he said, has ever been written, and there is a fortune for the man who will write one. In every history up to the present time the South has been neg lected and the important part it played in the early history of the country has been inadequately treated.
 Much of this is due to the Southern CTS themselves because of their indif- ference, and he warned them that if they didn't stir themselves the South would go down in history as being be- hind the rest of the world.
 MT. Page wants new history writ ten, one that will give the South the place it deserves. He will not write it himself, because he says he is a sec tionalist, but he wants it written by a broad-minded American who will write a broad-minded history of the whole country and favor no one section more than the other.
 It is up to the Southerners to see that this history is written as it should be, says MT. Page.
