Five men will make up the stan OF

Umpires Kelly and Conway, who were
on this circuit asst year, will be seen
in their places again this year.
Last year Conway was always In

him. A game in which Helly is Of

Umpire Stafford, who was with the

Calvin Demarest, the young Chicago
billiard player, whose playing in the
amateur championship tourney now in
progress in Chicago has been the sem
sation of the amateur billiard world,
never handled a billiard cue until four
years ago, when he was 10 years of age.
Tom Foley, the veteran Chicago
r~oomkeeper, was the first TO notice the
lad. At Foley's suggestion Professor
Perkins, d billiard instructor, took
Demarest as a pupil, and in a few
months the youngster was winning
Chicago tournaments.
From a winner OF class Journeys .he
developed rapidly until he demonstrated
in practise matches that he was a bet

Chicago, who formerly held the anna
teur title and has a defeat of Wilson
Foss to his credit.

Baseball men OF experience cannot
figure how the Union League can ex-
pect to do a paying business in the
cities IN which 1t is to oppose h big
league cams The mere fact that such
a player as ny Cobb was a member of
the Washington team would undoubt-
eddy attract many to the Union League
park there. but the full amount of his
salary could not be expected to be
made up at the box office.
No Attention Paid to Union Leaguers'
Anyone familiar with the way a
baseball fan regards the doings of the
big league teams can readily appre-
ciate how little attention is likely to
be paid 10 the Union Leaguers. just
imagine the conditions when the Ath-
leties or the Philadelphia Nationals. OF

championship in their respective or
EXAMINATIONS. What follower of the
sport would care what luck the Union
League team in the Quaker City was
having against Wilmington, Elizabeth,
South Brooklyn. Baltimore, Washing
ton. Paterson and Reading. Pa.i
1t does not follow that, because the
Union League team might make a liv-
ing in Philadelphia, Baltimore and the
other cities because of patronage
bestowed on them by Il small following
of baseball rooters who might find II
handy to see ball games in the vicinity
