TRIAL OF NEW STYLE BILLIARDS
sutton and Hoppe to Try the New
Tangled Game.

NEW YORK, IAN. 22.-When George
Sutton defends his 1871 balkline title against
Willie Hoppe In Chicago next March there
will be a test of the new style OF 1000
point game which Hoppe and Morningstar
strongly advocated when they were on the
"out" with the billiard authorities and
which figured prominently in the recent
compromise which brought the two out
laws'' back into good standing.
Sutton has notified Hoppe that he has
acceded to the challenger's request for a
three NIGHTS match, and names March IA.
is and 16 as the dates. The match will be
played in Orchestra hall, Chicago. Each
nights. game will consist Of 500 points.
This is the first time that either of the
balkline titles has depended on a game OF
more than 500 points, although many
special matches OF more than one night
have been played. A majority Of the noted
experts are in favor OF the longer game.
Hoppe and Mornlngstar contend that any
player may be in poor form in a short match
and that 500 points Is too brief a game to
risk a title on. Their argument is that a
player who may be off one night has
a chance to come back" and that class
will tell more in the long run than in the
short game where a player may go above
or under his real speed.

League for
Pros is Now
Considered
Boys Who Run for Coin Are to Band
Themselves Together for
Protection.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-For some time IT
has been whispered about that a league for
professional athletes was to be formed in
this country, but the first definite infor-
nation comes from Gus Sachs OF this city,
who received a communication from a well
known business man Of New England the
other day urging him to manage the New
York end OF the game.
For a number Of years Mr.. Sachs has
been identified with amateur athletics. He
is a member OF the Pastlme Athletic club
and is in high standing with all the ath-
letes. He has given many fine medals for
different special events. Because of his
standing here 1t is said on good authority
that he has been offered the MANAGEMENT
Of the new league.
The first contest VIM soon be held in
New England, and it is the hope of the
management that professional games will
be held here within a few months. Ru-
mors are going the rounds to the effect
that many of the topnotchers in the local
amateur ranks have s~ignified their willing
ness to turn pro" If the league proves
successful in the north.
Postle, the great Australian. and Day.
the English Splinter, have been sent for.
They both cabled replies to the New Eng
land promoter, promising to come over
to this country Immediately. Hillman,
Cartmell and Robertson will be asked to
represent America.
There is no doubt that Harry Hillman
knew OF the proposition before he left
Tor Dartmouth, where he is coach. A few
days before he departed he said to Lawson
Robertson: well, Robe, now that am
a pro I'd like to take a crack at some Of
the HA1lA-va -
chasing the coin. ] believe l would nave
a chance with any of them" And Robert
son has been getting to bed early for the
last week or so. Sleep, says Robbie, is
the one great thing for an athlete. For
that reason it looks as though he has a
race with some of the topnotch pros in
view.

Athletes Are
Ready for the
Big Track M eetS

Eastern Events This
Year.

NEW YORK, Ian. 22.-The big colleges
in the middle west are in line with the east
In the post-holiday rush OF candidates for
athletic honors. From Michigan, Chicago
and Wisconsin come reports of promising
material and large squads.
The track candidates at Ann Arbor have
begun training for the indoor meets Of the
winter and the present prospects are en-
oouraging to blowers of Wolverine ath-
letics. The veterans remaining eligible are
Captain May, West, Craig, Horner, Towar
and Legar and there are three new men
who please the coach-namely, Benbrook,
Freeney and Haskins. Benbrook, the foot
ball c-aptAin-elect, Is q man of about the
same build as Ralph Rose. and Coach
Fitzpatrick counts on him for surprising
work with weights. Freeney has already
broken the Michigan indoor pole vault
record by clearing II feet 8 inches. Haskins,
another last years freshman. is a Culver
Medical association graduate and one OF
the most promising men at 100 yards and
the hurdles that has entered Michigan in
years.
The Chicago track squad is feeling the
loss Of Captain Philip Comstock, who was
debarred from athletics by his physician.
Comstock was counted one of the best mile
runners that ever wore the Chicago Maroon.
There are some good veterans remaining
on Coach Stages squad. He has been train
Ing the sprinters during the past week and
now begins on the distance men, with
~Strophlet, Baird, MacNeish and Long as
the most promising material. Crawley,
Peques and Davenport have been his main
stay In the dashes and hurdles.
The Chicago basket ball season has
opened and the team appears to be selected
as follows: Clark and Sauer, forwards;
Huddle, center; Huffman and Page, guards.
The swimming team reports a strong
set OF candidates, with a squad OF very
heavy men out for the water polo team.
Other activities also promise we'll. Thirty
base ball men have reported to a calf for
candidates, and a hockey boom has been
started.
Coach Ten Eyck Of the Wisconsin crew
has twenty-six candidates for the varsity
eight, and forty freshmen hopefuls have
reported. Last years varsity crew has
lost three men. including Stroke Dlnet, and
the campus talk gives Jack Wilce, the
foot ball player, first chance at Dinet's
seat.
The basket ball team has no star men.
but Coach Noyes believes that the com
bination will work we'll together and make
up the lack of individual ability by team
work.
The base ball pitchers and catchers are
at work in the batting cage, and a series
OF interclass swimming meets has been
arranged.

HARVARD ATHLETES LOOK COOL
Well Balanced Team to Represent the
Crimson.

Well Team to Represent the
Crimson.
BOSTON, Jan. 22.-with the
Of track athletic training at Harvard uni
versity the close followers of the sport
at Cambridge are congratulating them
selves on the prospects for a weIl-balanced
p~oint-winning team in the intercollegiate
track and field championships next spring.
A Crimson adherent, with q leaning
toward statistics, has reasoned the case
out in this way: 1t is possible to score 14S
points in the championships. There are
athletes remaining in the competing col
leges who scored Is $40 points last year.
The team members remaining in Harvard
this year represent more points in last
springs meet than were left to Yale, Penn
~sylvania and Cornell combined. Harvard
has lost by graduation two members OF
the team which scored S9.1 points. They
are former Captain Rand and Harwood,
who between them scored So points.
Discounting possible additions of new
timber on any of the teams, the Crimson
squad looks formidable. There remain
Foster, the double inner in the sprints;
Blumer, first in the 40; Captain Little.
first in the shot-put; Gardner, second in
the low hurdles; Pope and Lawrence, who
tied with three others for first in the
high jump; Barr, tied for second in the
pole vault; Jacques, third in the two-miles
and Kelly and Watson, fourth in the 200
and 40 yards, respectively.
AS for the other colleges, Yale has lost
men, who scored 16 points last year. Penn
sylvania has but two OF the five-point
winners in college. Cornell has but one
man left of the team which scored 20 4
~points-Taylor, WHINE of the two-mile
run. Michigan scored fifteen points last
year and has lost but one man-former
Captain Bull. The Wolverines report some
good new material and on paper would
seem to be Harvard's most dangerous
competitor at this stage OF the campaign.

SPRING RAINING FOR TIGERS
Coaches Decide Princeton Men Must
Have More Work.

PRINCETON, N j.. Jan. Eth foo,
ball authorities at Princeton university
win i~naugurate a new system Of training
for foot ball candidates this spring. They
have come TO the conclusion that the Tiger
teams have not been in the best OF con-
dition during the last seasons and that
criticisms stating that Princeton teams
lacked endurance were only too well
founded on facts.
To remedy this situation the manage
ment has decided TO make spring training
as compulsory as the regular fall Drac-
tice. The work selected to build up the
foot BAH men will start after the mid-year
examinations.

INTEREST IN THE BIG DOG SHOW
Omaha 10 Be Represented by Two
High Glass Dogs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Much that is in
teresting will be seen at the annual bench
show OF the Westminster Kennel club in
the Madison Square garden, February 8,
10, IL and II, chief among the new things
being the West Highland white terriers,
which will be shown here for the first time
and which will have a full classification,
g novelty in new breeds here, as, previously,
four classes have been the highest number
made in the beginning. These little terriers
are somewhat like the Scottish terriers,
but are shorter in body and are white in
color, while their hair is coarser and a
better rain shedder. They are used extern
sively in fox hunting in Scotland, as they
are full of fight and game, and dig the
foxes out of the rocks, going in without
fear. 1t is the oldest breed native to that
country. In other breeds there are more
classes, especial attention being paid to
A~merican-bred dogs.
In addition to the usual long list of
regular prizes there are fully as many
specially, and the club members have, as
last year, given a number of special prizes,
open to all, for the best dogs of the
various breeds in the show. The prize for
the largest and best exhibit of any one
breed is given this year by William Rauch,
and is called the Chairman's prize. A new
special is hat given, by H. p, Whitney for
the best West Highland white terrier. There
will be the usual prizes for the best packs
Of English and American %foxhounds and
beagles, while a silver hunting horn will
be given to the huntsman of the best pack
of English foXhounds. The popular Pek-
ingese spaniels will nave a full classified
ton this year, for the first time, and a
class has been added for Skye terriers since
the publication of the premium list, and one
has also been added for American-bred
bulldogs.

Within the last week members of the

ing the food habits of the Alligator
Mississippiensis, or, as known in the
turbulent regions of South and Cen
trail America, the cayman or jacare.
Two lively specimens of the elon-
gated lizard family arrived at the
club last week, direct from their ma
tive haunts near Tampa, Fla. All
the delicacies on the club menu were
offered and peevishly disdained by
the amphibious carnivori. Last night
the proper diet for growing alliga-
tors was determined.
They eat ice. They-the two g.
year-olds at the National Press Club
are staunch believers in the free
ice fund. Blocks OF the concealed
product of the Kenebec were tossed
into the glass tank and eagerly
munched by the gators. Their ice
meal lasts fully an hour.
This is believed to be the only in
stance on record of a true Alligator
Mississippiensis showing any appe-
tite for the product of the frozen
