TO FORM A BILLIARD LEAGUE
Game with IvOrIes VIII Receive Big

Game with IvOries Will Receive Big
Boost This Year.
NEW YORK, Aug. H.-Billiards are to
cut quite a figure in winter sports here
after The idea is to have a National
Amateur Billiard league, laid down along
the lines of league base ball Those who
are at the back of the movement have
formed their plans after the manner in
which the nations greatest game is car
ried on A big league has already been
formed, with magnates like those who
run the affairs of the baseball world, at
the head and with teams representing all
the leading cities contesting for the cham
p'onship and pennant. Thus the billiard
men are going to enter into movement
of that sort which carried the game of
base ball along so successfully. The bill
lard fans believe that the sport in winter
will act as the real substitute for base
ball. and they predict a great season.
Teams are to be formed representing
Brooklyn, New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Boston, st. Louis, Kansas City and
Pittsburg, to play in a series of games
throughout the season, in a league known
as the National Billiard league. Base ball
men who take up the billiard game during
the winter months, as a side line, have
become interested in this novel scheme.
A big schedule of games will be mapped
out before the season starts, bringing to-
gether the crack amateur billiardists CT the

Drummond said that the adaptability
TO and usefulness of the Cadillac thirty
in municipal service is becoming more
widely recognized seems to be- evidenced
by the recent installation OF two Cadil-
laos in Harrisburg, Pa
One has been placed at the disposal of
the head of the water department and the
other is in the service of the highway
department. Here as in New York,
Brooklyn and Louisville, KY, the Cadil-
lac was selected in competition with
otEer cars.
New York probably lolds the dlstinc-
ton of first seeing the usefulness of the
automobile in municipal work; and stood
by its convictions by the installation of
fourteen Cadillac ambulances.
Brooklyn was almost as early in the
field OF motor-using cities with three in
it's city departments.
Following it's first experience with the
Cadillac. Brooklyn recently added four
more to its borough equipment; and New
York bought ten additional Cadillacs,

Wrecking tugs will go Immediately TO

investigation OF the big steel steamer
Frank H. Goodyear which lies In two
pieces on the bottom OF the lake In
forty fathoms OF water, where she
sank with Is of her crew. The boat
was insured for $265,0O0, and her car

down the lakes was worth $4,000. 1t

can be raised, or even q considerable
part OF her cargo saved.
Neither Is 1t thought probable any
OF the bodies OF the crew will be
found as the current probably already
has washed them far out into the lake.
Nothing has been heard here SO far Of
an effort to fix responsibility for the
collision between the Goodyear and

Judge Rohnert Settles Three Law
suits Without Trial.


Judge Rohnert acted as a peace
maker, Wednesday morning, and three
cases were settled without trial. The
first was that Of James Hanley against
the American Picture Co., for rent. A
dispute arose between the parties over
the sub-letting of lease, and the
plaintiff sued for 5000 He accepted
$50 and dropped the suit.
After considerable persuasion on the
part Of the judge and his attorney,
August Cyrowski, Peter Wilczynska
agreed to pay $3.50 In settlement OF
the case brought against him by John
Kuczuba.
The defendant in this case married
the daughter of the plaintiff, but do
nestle trouble arose and she went to
her fathers home and started suit for
divorce. While the suit was pending
she became Ill and died. Then the
father-in-law brought suit for the ex.
pense he had been put to in caring for
his daughter. Under the law the hus.
band Is liable for the actual expenses,
The other case settled was that OF
