SUTTON DEFEATS
CALVIN DEMAREST
Latter Plays Good Uphill Game in
Billiard Tournament But Uses
BAD Judgment.

New York, March 30.-George Sut-
ton defeated Calvin Demarest last
night in the 18th game of the 49,
balk line billiard Tournament now in
progress at Madison Square garden
concert hall. Sutton had a close call
for two causes. First, when he had
the balls in fine position and was click
ing off billiards as fast as possible by
nursing them along the balk line, he
made gentle shot which the referee
said did not count. If it had been al
lowed, there is no telling when Sutton
would have stopped scoring. Then
Demarest, true to his record, played a
wonderful uphill game, and if he had
not marred his work by often choos-
ing the wrong shot he might have
beaten Sutton. AS it was, he came
within SO of Sutton, who then settled
down to serious work and with a run
of 50 ended the game.

avocation. The professional trapper
accused the amateur of stealing four
skunks from his traps, and the latter
denied the charge. He admitted, how

the owner at once and asked him to
come and get it, Instead of doing so.

the skunks which Simpson had secur-

four, and which were valued at 81, and
on being refused three of them he
swore out warrant for Simpsons ar

meager that Justice Wells ruled that
a 81 case could not be made out of
four skunks which could give in re-
turn but one scent" and accordingly
he dismissed the case.

Letting an opportunity to get excel

100, 900 of the booklets referred to,
which are thoroughly distributed ali

why the hotel and boarding house
people of Titusville make it necessary
for US to call their attention a second

1t is quite possible that notice in
