FreS1QenL IaIC Will soon take up the
study of national retrenchment and

the big appropriation bills will be
framed by congress. He expects to
accomplish such saving as will really
be noticeable, says a Washington dis

The president will take the unusual
step of spending part of his vacation
in working out some plan still further
to reduce the public expenditures in
the executive branches of the govern.
ment. Before leaving Washington he
had a long conference with Chairman
Tawney of the house committee on ap
preparations on this subject.
Mr.. Tawney will be called to Bev'

the president in detail. Whatever plan
is adopted will be urged upon congress
at the next session.
All the facts and figures obtainable
on the subject will be collected by q
commission on government business
methods, which will dig through all the
executive departments and bureaus
and set forth just how the manner OF
doing things can be so changed and
adjusted as to cost less. This com.
mission was authorized in the sundry
civil bill. which was passed a few
days before congress adjourned. The
sum of 100000 was appropriated with

SUTTON is BACK;
Now AFTER TITLE
Chicago Billiard Star, Improv-
ed in Health, Wants 1872
Balk Line Game.
DESIRES TO MEET HOPPE
Daily Practice Work Shows Old Fa-
tigue Which Troubled Him
Has Vanished.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-George Sutton,
the local 1872 balk line billiard star,
has recovered from the illness which
forced him 10 retire from champion
ship competition last season, and is
going after the 1872 title again. SUIT
ton is back at his hall after an alb
seuce of six months, during which
time he was taking treatment and rest
ing on his farm in Michigan, but he
had given no intimation he was trying
to get into shape 10 play again, so the
announcement comes as a surprise to
followers of the game all over the
country, it having been understood
last year that Sutton had retired for
good.
Sutton says he is in better shape
and capable of better billiard playing
now than he has been in years. He
has a better stroke and more stamina,
and is much more confident Of himself
than COR two or three years.
Old Fatigue VanisheS.
He has been playing practice match
es at his hall every morning and even
ing since his return, and also practiced
while in Michigan. and says he notices
a total absence of the fatigue which
affected his playing last year.
Il am as much surprised TO be able
to play again as anyone else is said
Sutton yesterday, but l feel l can
play better now than did the time
! averaged 100 at New York. Yes.
am going after Hoppe, but probably
not before the first of the year, as l
do not like 10 rush matters, and there
is no partuclar hurry, especially since
Hoppe is matched to play Slosson for
the 1S.1 title"
Sutton, after he heard that Slosson
had forfeited to Hoppe on the original
challenge. started practicing 1S.1 as
we'll as 1872, and had intended to make
a try for both championships, but will
now confine his efforts to 1872. since
Slosson has decided to play again.
Wants Match in Chicago.
Sutton is anxious that the match be
played in Chicago. but is not certain
he can induce Hoppe to come here
The reason of his desire TO play here
is that his physician has advised him
to remain on a diet all winter and he
dislikes the idea of having to get away
from home cooking. as he will be COM
PEELED to do if the match is played in
any other city.
1t is not likely the match will be
played before Jan. l, and it may be two
or three months after that, as Sutton
wants to make sure of himself before
he starts out. This will relieve Hoppe
title, as it was the general understand
ing when Sutton retired last spring
no one would try for it and another
game would be substituted.

up against each other. There was
very little dope on which to base a
prediction on the result of the game
as little was known of the calibre of
the Illinois team. All that could be
learned of it was that its players av-
erage about 155 pounds to the man
and that they are considered very fast.
st. Ambrose averages a trifle under
$50 pounds to the man and the team
will be handicapped in having both the
regular halfbacks on the hospital list,
making 1t necessary for SUBSTITUTES to
be used Otherwise the team was in
good shape for a hard contest and as
it plays an open style of game, the diff
ference in weight of the two aggre-
cations was not thought to be much of
an advantage to the visitors.

Such performances are simply abuse
and more actual damage is done to the
motor in this way than would result
from a hard days work in actual serv-
ice. 1t is therefore important that the
operator famiiiarize himself with every
detail of his engine and be able to dis
tinguish between use and abuse. The
slightest knock or unusual SOUND
should be located and corrected. but to
do this do not tinker with everything.
Locate the cause first. Be sure you
are right and then go ahead. but in or

At that time the American association

The Topeka franchise also will come
in for an airing. 1t is reported that
the Commercial club of that city is
willing TO take over the franchise in
order to keep the city in the league.
While Topeka was not included among
the money-making cities of the circuit
last season, its citizens have rallied to
the support of the team and promise
enthusiastic backing in 1911.
