SHAKESPEARE TAKES
POOL MATCH
Nichols and Ward Give Him a Fas.
Go. But the One Armed Expert Wins
Out by Six Points.

Frank MacKervey, the pool shark,
of Boston, better known as Shakes
peare won out from the Norwich boys
Tuesday night at the Rose pool rooms,
but he found them no easy mark. for
his margin of victory was but six
points. In fact, Elmer Nichols. who
in the first half of the match upheld
the honor of Open House, was the
winner by 1916, as Shakespeare
handicapped by h1s one armed play,
was to secure so points to rs for each
of his opponents.
The frame out gave Nichols one
more ball and brought MacKervey up
to 40.
Ward played the latter half of the
match, representa- the G. A. c., but
his three months lay off from the
game, with no recent practice, made II
easy for Shakespeare to gain steadily,
and finally to win out by 100 to 144
for his opponents.
Many pretty plays were seen during
the match, which started at $50 and
wound up at 1915, and MacKervey an
the local players received well merited
applause from the crowd of spectators
who were present. Shakespeare show
ed remarkable skill in the use of only
one arm and ran off a string of 10
during the match. Nichols, with both
hands. made two runs Of IA, and Ward
one of IL.
Shakespeare gave an exhibition of
fancy pool after the match, showing
in particular some fancy bank shots,
and his two hand shot with back to the
table.
Tonight at o'clock Shakespeare re-
peats and meets Jencks again in 49,
100 match, singl arm play, at Morris
sey's.
Thursday night he is scheduled for
the Crescent club, Jewett City; Friday
probably at Baltic, and Saturday night
in Jswett City at Walters.
MacKervey has now covered the
whole state, exceutl the towns of Wind
ham county and Rockville, and in these
places he will play after leaving this
vicinity.

What Is an Amatsur7

What is an amateur!
All depends on what sport you are
engaged in.
If a college athlete, you are not
supposed to have ever contested or
money, not even for a nickel offered
by your grandpa when you were a
kiddie of FIVE If a trapshooter, you
can compete for money, but you must
never have sold powder or guns, or
had any rn pay your expenses to a
tournament. If golfer, you are
barred If you have ever competed for
money, made golf clubs for a living,
or acted as a professional instructor
for a club, but you can play in tour
naments with professionals.
In every sport there is a different
idea of just what an amateur sports
man is.
To say the least it is confusing The
colleges are supposed to be the most
strict, but even there some profession
alism is allowed to creep in in a
roundabout way.
A college athlete may work all sum-
mer in a harvest field and return a
clean amateur, but if he plays one
game of baseball and takes a cent he
is barred from amateur circles. That
is, if they can prove it on him.
Over in England they have been
calling Simon pure amateur the
man who played for the pure love of
the sport, and who did not work for
living.
We do not go that far in America
If we did, Harry Payne Whitney and
young Jay Gould would be about the
only amateur sports on the job.
But. yet, what is an amateur p

Windsor, Ont, July 20.--Summer
harness meeting at Windsor, the cur
tain raiser for the Grand Circuit,
opened today with some fast heats and
a hard fought trotting race. The fea-
ture of the day was the victory of
Country Jay in the first heat of the
trot in 200 ga, beating Teasel half a
length in a drive.
1t is the first instance of a horse
entering the select 2.10 list after such
a long retirement. In 1901 Country
Jay took a record of 2.10 IL. Lame
ness threw him out of it. The old
fellow was lame today and after the
heat Geers beat him with Teasel with
out much trouble. The best mile Of
the day was by Hal Raven, the blind
mare. when she paced in 2.06 IL.
which tired out the rest and allowed
her to win the race handily. Snow,
