LOCAL BILLIARD MEN
GAIN GREATER LEAD

BaItimore's amateur billiard team,
which came TO washington yesterday TO
play the washington team, returned
home at an early hour this morning de-
feated.
The team was unfortunate, having al
lowed the washingtonians to adj thirty
winning points to its former lead Of
ninety-three points, making the Sena-
tors lead now 123 points.
But one more match OF the series re-
mains, and these games will be played
at Klein's parlors, in Baltimore, the
second Tuesday in March.
In last nights play there were two
SURPRISES The greatest was the defeat
OF Gray Washington, by Address by
100 20 n Another was the sudden slump
of Lang (Baltimore). He had played
excsllently in practice here, but was a
victim to Hoke, who beat him 100 to 81.
1t IVES this defeat which lost Baltimore
its chance TO overcome some Of the
PREVIOUS lead.

TEND THE NATIONAL CON-
NENTION.

Roanoke, Va, April 3O.-It does
not appear that railroads operating
between eastern points and Chicago
purpose making any concessions to
those who will attend the national
Democratic convention at Denver.
and as a consequence many laments
are being heard as to the expenses of
the trip.
Time was when free passes helped
many of the politicians on such ex-
petitions. but that day has passed.
1t is estimated that the railroad
fares for Virginia delegates-th that Is.
including Pullmans, meals en- route.
ctc.-will amount up TO almost 800.
while heavy hotel bills must also be
met.
The old-stagers think the wsoN2
trip will require nearly 5000. This
probably means a slim attendance
from the old Dominion.

MOVING STUNT BRINGS
QUESTIONS TO D. P. w.

1t is quiet, oh, so quiet, In the de-
partment OF public works office. The
clerks fairly tip-toe around to prevent
breaking the unwonted stiffness.
And this blissful state of affairs Is
to continue. Also the city hall ele-
'vator conductors are wearing smiles
of happiness and are carrying far few
er passengers.
And these two results because OF a
little moving around In the city hall.
The sidewalk division OF the depart
ment OF public works has moved to
the fourth floor and the state free en-
ployment bureau has gone down TO
the basement.
The sidewalk division Is always a
center OF turmoil because numerous
and angry citizens and citizenesses
come in TO complain because they
have to build walks, or because their
neighbors do not have to, or because
they do not like the walks In the
neighborhood. This leads to much ar
fument and the other divisions OF the
department will miss the racket.
The free employment bureau has
drawn swarms Of people who filed
the elevators 10 the exclusion OF aid
ermen and other personages.
Now all Is peace and contentment

KNOTTY PROBLEM LOOMS
UP FOR BREITMEYER

Philip Breitmeyer will have knot
" problem to tackle when he comes
TO make the appointments, as mayor
for the police department. II is TIE
custom for the commissioners OF de
partments TO consult the mayor In re-
gard to the choice of a secretary. and
there are two strong candidates for
police secretary.
II was understood prior TO election
that Police Commissioners Smith would
appoint Harry S. Andrews, secretary
TO the collector of customs. John Is
Whelan, as police secretary during
the short end OF the term from Dec
81 TO July /. This would give Andrews
a strong position as candidate for
the four-year term.
Smith, however, chose To appoint
George A. Walters as secretary for the
short term. Walters is popular and a
hard man to displace. In making this
appointment, therefore, Commissioner
Smith has rather taken slap al
Breitmeyer and put the latter in a
hard position.
Charles A. Nichols, city clerk-elect
Is understood to have had some part
In the arrangement. and II Is against
him that the wrath OF Andrews
friends Is particularly directed.
