DlsGUsTED WITH PROFESSION.
Billiard Enthusiasts Turning to the
Game of Amateurs.

Unless some change is made in the
rules governing championship billiard
matches the professional branch Of
the game VIII soon be OvershadOWed
by interest in the amateurs. Enthuai-
astS are becoming disguised with the
poor class of play witnessed in So
called championship matches between
professionals.
George Sutton and Ora MOrningStar
played for the 1872 title recently, and
the small but critical gathering of
billiard lovers wouldn't have realized
that it was q championship match if
the bills and score cards had not set
forth the fact. Many Of the specta-
tors did not wait for the finish.
Jake Schaefer stood off Albert
Cutler in their match for the 1871 title
at Philadelphia with an average that
made him blush. On top of that came
the Joke" game between Sutton and
MOrningstar. These two title matches
did the game no good. Many specta-
tors felt that they had been ''buncoed,'
and vowed never to attend another
title game.
When Willie Hoppe brought the 1874
'
ago the game began to thrive in New
York. The 1872 tournament was well
attended, and the title match between
Slosson and Hoppe at the Grand
Central Palace drew the biggest
house" in the history of billiards iii
any country. The game began to
boom all over the East and Middle
West. But in the last year there has
been a deplorable lack Of class in
championship matches, and attend
ance has gradually declined.
The remedy is simple. Five hum
dred points is too short game to
hang title on. Championship
matches should be divided into several
nights of play, and the game should
not be less than 1900 points. Few
topnOtcters like to risk their reputa-
tons and titles in a 500-point game.
so it would seem that the proper
authorities should change the rules.
Prominent billiard amateurs are
divided in their opinion Of the 1872
game as the amateur championship
standard. Calvin Demarest. national
amateur champion. thinks 14.2 should
remain the standard He believes
that 1872 is too difficult for many who
are clever at 14.2. Others hold that
the amateur standard should be as
high as the professional. At the
national tournament in Chicago next
March, 14.2 will be played. In the
international tournament. which is
scheduled for New York i'll April, the
style will be 1872

Boston, Feb. 19.-In replying to the
challenge OF the American colleges to
mutual test Of skill in track and
field sports, the representative of OK
ford and Cambridge Universities makes
il very plain that the main reason for
the refusal TO accept it lay in the fact
that there was a possibility Of low
standard amateurs getting on the
teams OF both countries.
The stand is taken that the lofty
standard of amateurisni at oxford and
Cambridge meets cannot he lowered,
as appears possible by accepting the
challenge.

Il X l50 feet. and the four-story Liberty street ell will be oc. eupied by the new firm of P. A. Hull < Son. This firm is composed of Fred erick A. Hull and his son Charles. They will conduct the same old busi- ness at the same old stand and carry all it's various lines of shelf and heavy hardware, iron and steel. cutlery, paints and oils, blacksmiths' wagon makers. farmers, contractors and factory supplies and material-wagons, carriages, harness and horse goods and do a general plumbing and heating business and also continue the msnu- facture of the well-known Baxter" warm air furnace, about 1900 of which are now in use.
