 Out of the first ten innings Sutton failed to score In five whereas Hoppe failed only orce. In his ninth inning Hoppe by beautiful open playing with no attempt to use the balk line nurse, made a run of 99 but missed difficult spread draw.
 Sutton added 54 to his score in the eleventh and Hoppe made 3s in the twelfth Sutton worked the balk line nurse along the top of the table, oc- casionally making a little distance on the side line, but when he seemed to be perfectly set he missed a masse af- ter a run of S9 in the thirteenth inning. 1 Hoppe gave another brilliant exhibition of open table play in his half of this l inning. He passed the 300 mark with a run of ss, missing difficult full length i two cushion carom.

 Hoppe ran his score up to 495 in his 1 twentyt-hird inning but played care- l lessly taking a chance on a three cush- i ion carom which he missed. Sutton drew a cipher and then Hoppe ran out with an unfinished five.

COMMITTEE TO CONTINUE
Lowell House Workers Wish Poor
 Relief Kept Up.

Another session of the sub commit tee of five from the City Poor com mittee was held yesterday afternoon in Mayor Martins office. pr. Julia P. Teele and Miss Ethel R. Evans from the Lowell House appeared before the committee and urged very strongly that the committee change its determ- ination to end it's work now. They represented that the need of relief still continued very pressing. Miss Evans declaIed that there had been more calls for relief and help at the Lowell House during the past week than during any other week of the year. She spoke number of men out of work and urged the mayor to issue an appeal for more help rather than abandon the work.
 The committees action was based on the feeling that affairs have reached a stage where the worst needs have been filled and that with the advent of spring people will be in a better con dition to help themselves and there will be more opportunities to do SO. Therefore the committee did not act on the request yesterday. It was stat ed by one of the members that it was not likely that 1t would change it's resolution.
 A letter was received from the Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., transmitting a check for SS7,St, part of the proceeds from the course of Saturday evening lectures which the college professors are giving in aid of the fund.
 MT. Warden reported on some special eases of destitution which the commit tee voted to help. The fund still con tains about S7OO to $500 No more con tributions are being asked
