MATCHES FOR THE
BILLIARD TITLES
Schaefer Names Chicago as
Place to Defend His 1871
Championship.

CHICAGO. February 15.-Jake Schaefer,
holder of the ISL billiard title. has named
the conditions for his match with Willie
Hoppe for the worlds championship. Ac-
corCing to the terms dictated by the wiz
ard the match will be played in Chicago.
March II. Orchestra Hall being designated
as the scene of the encounter.
In naming Chicago Schaerer said no
other city had building as we'll suited
to a billiard match as Orchestra Hall.
The heating arrangements of that hall
afe as nearly perfect as the billiardists
can hope for. and therefore most con-
ducive to fast play.
Both players have already begun prac-
tice for the game. but their activities will
increase now that the details of the affair
have been settled.
Challenger Hoppe. who is playing eX-
hibition games at ISL on the read with
Albert Cutler. will come to Chicago soon
for hard practice. His priI cipal practice
game will he with Calvin DeInarest. the
amateur champion. Beginning March ,
Demarest and Hoppe viii play 400 points
each night that week, the amateur play
ing 49, against the professionals Isl
style.
That 4OO-point conflict will give each
ulayer a good workout for his ensuing
defend his title in the national amateur
championship event which begins at the
&. A. A. March IA.
Schaefer will do the bulk OF his prac-
tice work here as usual. but may meet
Albert Cutler in handicap match in New
York or Philadelphia prior to his joust
with Hoppe. Schaefers manager.
Charles Tennes. wants to bet $500 that
Schaefer can beat Cutler 100 to 200 in
three nights play. Cutler gave Schaefer a
hard battle for the honors in their recent
game at Philadelphia.
George Sutton. the 1872 champion. said
that in all probability his match with
Hoppe would be played in New York.
March 81 1t is possible that Chicago
will be awarded the match. but hardly
likely, on account of the Hoppe-Schaefer
game being played only two weeks pre-
Vious TO that date.

YALE'S TRACK TEAM.
Prospects Do Not Appear to Be Bril-
liant

NEW HAVEN, Conn. February -
With practically a months work in the
training of the track team completed at
ale the prospect for more than aver
age team this spring does not appear at
present to be particularly brilliant. For
one reason the team is rather poorly
balanced, for such veterans as remain
in college are grouped principally in the
spirits and the pole vault. with one or
TWO scattered through The other events
which form the intercollegiate track and
field meets. The low hurdle events, the
broad jump and the mile are almost con-
coded to Harvard already in the annual
dual meet. and the quarter mile is also
a weak point for the Ellis. Altogether
Yale has but winners of 2612 points in
last wears dual meet remaining to this
Years team. whereas Harvard has men
who won over 40 points. 1t is hoped
however that before the men get out
of doors for the real work some new ma
1erial will have been developed with
which to strengthen the squad before ii
meets those OF other colleges On Tho

THE IMPOST PUT ON BALLOT
SPECULATION AS TO THE EFF.
Feet OF HIS HANDICAP.

NEW YORK. February 15.-There is .
great deal Of speculation as to whether
the Voter colt Ballot will be able TO
handle the imposts that Handicapped
Vosburgh has fixed for him when he
faces the barrier in the Brooklyn, the SUI
burban and the Brighton handicaps. He
has been placed at 126 pounds In the
first two races mentioned. and in the
Brighton, which is run during the best.
part of the racing season, he will have
to carry one pound less.
In all justice to the official Handicapped.
Ballot seems to have earned his honor as
topweght in the American classics. His
grand victories in the Century stakes.
the first and second specials, and the In
vincible stakes leave no room for DOUBT
that he is probably the best four-year-old
that will sport silk this season. If Peter
Pan had stood up il might have been
a different question, for he was without
doubt more than the equal of the Voter
colt.
Some people have the idea that Ballot
is a small colt and will not carry weight.
According TO trainers and everybody that
has had view of the colt at short range
this seems to be an erroneous idea. He
is a heavily muscled horse. and this
makes him look as If he was small. How
ever, he is fully sixteen hands high. but
the way he is nodded leads the mex
perienced to think otherwise.
Trainer Jimmy Rowe laughs at the
idea that he is small horse. OF course
il is too early in the year to predict as
to which of the keene horses will go
after the Brooklyn handicap. When the
time rolls around for its running the key
to handicap problems will be let out,
for Mr.. keene has Colin, Superman,
CeIt. Transvaal and Restigouche engaged
in the big races.
If the same plan is followed out that
Trainer Rowe has pursued in other
years il is most likely that a three year
old will go to the post in the Brooklyn
and that Ballot will be reserved for later
events.
1t is said that there is little hope OF
Electioneer racing the coming seaSons
He was thrown out of training after an
injury that he sustained In the running
of the Brighton cup, but IT was thought
this would soon fade away. How
ever a prominent trainer who saw the
colt at Brighton recently claims that the
son of Voter has developed ring bones
and that it will be hard maL.er for
stand the ordeal OF training. If this is
SO. then Electioneer will not race unta
next season.
Now that Montgomery Is back to the
form that he showed a year ago,
was indicated by his work in the Burns
handicap. great things are expected OF
him when he comes east In the spring
to nil the many engagements which have
been made in the valuable stakes. Mont
gomery is now owned by Sam Hildreth.

DOUes Are So Plentiful That
 Sportsnen Blush to Shoot

The hordes of the plumed tribe known as doves had the protecting Aegis of the State taken from them yesterday. The reverberations of shot, guns in Montgomery county told of the slaughter that had come to pass.
 The preserving hand of Hon. John H. Wallace. Jr.. State Game and Fish Commissioner, was the guarantee of their lives up to August |. They had profited thereby, had the doves, and it is said that not in many a year has there been such a multiplication of the bird of peace. But now that the closed season has just passed. the birds must meet the foe alone.
 Montgomery huntsmen shelled the fields yesterday. Mayor-elect Gaston Gunter, being an astute as we'll as vigi- lapt lawyer. recognized August 1, the minute 1t arrived. He beat 1t quickly to the plantation of some friend and broke the parabolas of an even dozen flights. This many doves fell upon the ground around him. And there was not a demurrer. Mayor-elect Gunter on this account said 1t was so refresh ing to do thing of this kind without demurrer or objection.

THE DISMISSED CADETS
 WILL BE REINSTATED

Oyster Bay, N. r.. Aug 1.--Consider- ing that the dismissal from the Unifed States Military Academy at West Point of the eight cadets found guilty of haz- ing would be too severe punishment for the o9enses they committed. Presi- dent Roosevelt and Secretary of War Luke D. Wright decided today that the eight young men be reinstated in their classes and that other punishment be visited upon them by the superinten~ dent of the Academy.
 These eight young men--William T. Rossell. an appointee at large, who stood sixth in the first class. and Har- ry G. Weaver of Iillinois. also a mem ber of that class; George ". Chase. Jr., of New York; William Nalle. IT,. of Virginia: Biron O. Jones. of New York; William ". Prude. IT,, of Ala bama; Isaac Spalding, of Oklahoma, and James Gillespie of Pennsylvania. all members of the fourth class. are under suspension resulting from charges made by a board of investiga- tion appointed by Colonel Hugh l.. Scott. Superintendent of the Military Academy. This board found that haz- ing in a mild form was being practiced upon the newly entered cadets but there was no brutality on the part of the hazers. Colonel Scott suspended the eight cadets and ordered them to their. homes to await the action of the Secretary of War and the President.
 Instead of obeyinS the order of the Superintendent and going to their homes. the eight proceeded in a body to Washington to appeal to the Secre- tary of War. MT. Wright listened att tentively to what they had to say. ca- det Rossell acted as spokesman for the party and his frankness in describing all that occurred. won the admiration of the Secretary.
 The President approved their dismiss sal, but before the order had been pro- mulgated by Secretary Wright. the President asked the secretay to como to Oyster Bay and talk over the matter with him.
 Secretary Wright said today that he discussed the matter thoroughly with the President and that both he and Mr Roosevelt were of the opinion that dis- missal was too severe a panishment Cadet Rossell declared himself respon- sible for the hazing. the Secretary said

MESSRS, HIRsCHERSLEAvE
 OFR ANNUAL NEW YORK TRIP

For the purpose of viewing the dramatic and musical field and with the intention of booking many of the attractions which win appear at the Grand. during the ensuing theatrical season. Messrs Sam and Arthur Hir- scher will leave Montgomery to-mor- row morning on a trip of several weeks to New York and Boston. The greater port of the time that they are away from Montgomery will be spent in the metropolis.
 Sam Hirscher stated that while the present was not the time to announce plans for the Grand he was very sure that the line of plays which will be presented during the coming season will be above the high standard set the past season.
 Montgomery was particularly for tunate in having last year a class of attractions which. uniformly excellent. pleased nearly all of the theatre-goers. Never before in the history of the city did season comprise such varied and high-class list of productions. With few exceptions. the particular bright stars of the theatrical world appeared at the Grand. and the mu- sical comedies. comic operas. and oth- CT productions were among the best of the year.
 It is generally felt that if the sue cess of the past. season is duplicated by Messrs. Hirscher the public will be fortunate.

appear at B, while those of August 10. and Ii, when the shower is greatest. will dart outward in every direction from the point C.
 The whole account of the growth of our knowledge of these peculiar little bodies is most interesting It was first supposed that they revolved about the sun In nearly circular orbits, lying not far from the orbit of the earth. When it was discovered that they encounter the earth with too great velocity for this to be possible, 1t became evident that they must fall toward the sun from a far greater distance 4 swarm of little particles so far away that it begins to feel the pull of the sun will fall toward that body. but the nearer particles will gradually come to move much more swiftly than the outer ones so that in time the whole swarm will be stretched out fin long stream of particles revolving about the sun fin an elongated orbit. And when the actual paths were determined in which these streams of particles are moving. 1t was discovered that many of them are identical with the paths of high comets. which have been observed to pass around the sun. The August shooting stars stream exactly along the path. followed by the great comet of 1882 completing their entire journey around the orbit in 121 years ThA comet of 1862 is apparently only the deusest part of the great meteor swarm.
 Fig. shows a plan of the path of the great comet of 1882 and Fig. 8 the part of this path, which lies near the earth's orbit. The earth flying around the sun with a velocity of eighteen and one-half miles a second reaches the point A. and ploughs through the swarm on about August 10th of each year. As the swarm Is more than four million miles through. we require two or three days to pass through it, and. in fact. for an interval of ten days or two weeks, we encounter scattered meteors at great distances from the path. When. in addition to this it is considered that the meteors seem to be stretched almost entirely around their own orbit so that the earth encounters them every year. 1t Is evident that the swarm must be of totally ineoneeiv- able magnitude.
