BILLIARDS.
Another Tourney WIN be Necessary to
Decide Next 1872 Championship

Two years ago this spring an open
tournament for professionals was
necessary to decide who was TO be
tho worlds champion at 1872 ballS
line billiards, there being no cham
plon at the time Now a similar state
Of affairs exists. William Hoppe has
returned to the donors the trophy
cmhlematIc Of the 1872 championship.
Nobody has challenged him for the
trophy which therefore cannot be
turned over to anybody BY default,
and 80 with the return Of the emblem
the title which II stands for Is not held
by anybody. Technically there Is no
champion, and another open tourna-
ment Is the course that will nave to
be adopted to produce one.
1t is probable that the b. B. Co.
will next season get up another 1872
championship tournament There is
not likely to be anything doing I'M
that line before next fall, as Che sum
mer months are not the time Cor big
billiard events. AS TO the rules which
govern championship matches, II
IL there are to be any changes in
them, 1t Is UP TO the players to get
together and agree on matches Of
three nights duration II those are the
kind they prefer.

A BIG SURPRISE.
n. II. II. s. Baseball Team Wins from
Nnugatuck Nine.

After being swamped In their first
game, the New Haven high school
baseball team, sprung surprise In
their second gamo by defeating the
strong Naugatuck nine ut Yale field
Saturday afternoon by the score Of Z
TO 3 The game was the first one for
the Naugatuck contingent and they
certainly made the local boys go some
to come out ahead. BY securing this
victory, the local high more than made
up for the defeat administered them by
the NaueatuGll quintet
The game was very close one first
the local high then the visitors leading
In the first two innings, both teams
were unable 10 score. However, New
Haven high started things going and
secured two runs In the next two in
nings by good stick work. The visitors
turned the tide in the sixth and got
three runs IN quick order. The local
high school nine then steadlcd down
and prevented more runs In the next
inning the local boys did the trick by
getting five runs over the pan, which
put them In the lead This practically
settled the game, although Peurosc. the
huge Naugatuck coach, was given a
chance at the bat In the ninth. He
proved helpless and did the famous
Casey act. In fact the Naugatuck nine
left the field IN the eighth inning,
thinking It was ninth, on being In
formed Of the true situation they re-
turned and played another inning. but
alas! they could accomplish nothing.
The New Haven high nine justly de-
served this victory. for their systemat-
lc and excellent work was noticeable
throughout the game. With three of the
visitors men on bases they usually got
out OF the predlcament by fast and
snappy work, as four double plays will
attest. Grodske. who was given a
chance on third, did well, making a
beautiful "grandstand" catch. Coffey,
who play second the larger part Of
the game, also made good Captain
falseA' VINO mas previously played lett
field. held down shortstop. where he
did excellent work, getting many put
outs. Blakesee played a star game be-
hind the bat. Not only was his back
stopping great, but his throws to sec
ond were swift and accurate. He also
batted In two runs. Besides Jackson,
who only played one inning and got a
run, Blakeslee was the only man on
the local team who did not strike out.
Starkweather started the twlrlng for
the local high and his excellent work
kept him on the slab throughout the
game. He showed wonderful improve
ment since the freshmen game. only
five hits were made from his delivery.
He also struck out three men. Leary
excelled for the visitors, causing IA of
the locals to pierce the ozone.

the world of crime today. although It
is not long, as a rule, before he is
laid by the heels by Scotland Yard,

touch depravity to juvenile minds, at
any rate for while. 1t is astonish-
ing, however, says Tit-Bits. how many
schools for the teaching of crime ex-
list in London and other large towns.
although the police are persistent in
their efforts to check the evil.
In spite of laws and philanthropy
there will always be street arabs and
young hooligans, whose upbringing
and surroundings make them easy
victims to the temptngs of the mod

food, lodgings, and pocket money to
the boys have no difficulty in getting
as many as they want to act as pick

most useful in cracking a crib" The
| boy can squeeze through openings
and spaces which would be impossible

more nimble, quicker and more silent

proves that they must have been
