AS the balkline revolutionized bill
lizards. so will the proposed new "open
break" work a. great improvement in
the game of continuous pool, according
to Thomas Hueston, one of the greatest
experts the game has ever known.
Experts who have experimental
with it say that Hueston's idea is en-
tirely practic able that it would make
the game more spectacular, in that
much safety play would be ellmln-
ated; that it would permit long runs
without the safety pauses and that
among expert players it could be easl-
ly manipulated 1t is Hueston's belief
that the open break will not only I'M
prove the game for spectators, but
would result in the establishment OF
averages that would indicate relative
abilities of players, as is now the case
in billiards.
To play the new style game it is ne
necessary to place a third spot IN
the middle of the table at the lntersec-
ton of lines extending from the CEN
ter of the end rails and between the
two side pockets. The game is started
in the usual way with the customary
safety break, but in subsequent rack
ings the. point" or APEX" ball is re-
moved and placed on the spot In the
center of the table.
Instead of placing the cue ball any
where behind the first two diamonds
at the beginning of each new frame
the player who pockets the last ball In
the previous frame continues to shoot
from where the cue ball rolls after the
final shot in the preceding franz Hues-
ION proposes rule that permits
hard break of the pyramid on the same
shot that pockets the spot ball, II De-
ing necessary, however, for the cue

hard lead to overcome, while in Mr..
Hueston's game that same shot would
probably allow the opponent a run of
100 balls land a repetition of the per-
Torrance would mean the loss of the
match.
"Of course, it is as fair for one
player as another, but when it comes
to a youngster playing an old head %
single misplay would probably so I'M
nerve the less experienced player as
to throw him off his stroke and cause
him to lose matches to players that
he should win from.
Another bad feature of the game
is the one-sided scores that are bound
to be made. My idea of a pool game
is to keep the bals1 always under con-
troll, and when d man gets where It
is impossible for him to make a ball
without taking chances on locing the
match, there is always a place on the
table where he can leave his opponent
without an open shot.
THE best illustration of the two
kinds of players that I can recall oc-
Cured when Hueston met De Orc in
st. Louis in 1904.
"Hueston as an open player was at
that time without a peer, but when
he went up against De Oro's general
ship and ability as a. safety player he
was beaten from the time the balls
were first broke.
eff you want an open pool game and
one that will permit of spectacular
play and at the same time a game that
will eliminate the element of one

NEW YORK, March 18.-The prize
fighter preparing to do battle for the
heavyweight championship of the
world needs no press agent. Old Mr..
Publicity is sitting on the fighters
doorstep when he gets up in the morn
ing; he looks over the gladiator's
fried eggs and the mutton chops; he
is never more than seven jumps be-
ing run on the road, and if the poor,
tired battler Ioafs, Old Man Publicity
knows it; he sticks his head into the
bathroom while the fighter is under
the shower: he goes to dinner with the
training quarter bunch and holds the
watch on the gymnasium bouts in the
afternoon; he plays sevenuD with the
gladiator until 10 o'clock and then puts
a death watch on the fighter until
morning. IF Jim Jeffries groans in his
sleep once during the next three
months, all the afternoon papers in the
country will blossom out with red
headlines:

In September, last, a conservation
congress was held at St Paul, at
which I delivered an address on the
subject of conservation, so far as it
was within the Jurisdiction and pos
sible action of the federal govern
ment
I recommended: That the limita-
ton now imposed upon the executive
which forbids his reserving more for
est lands in oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana, Colorado and Wyo-
ming be repealed.
That the coal deposits of the gov
ernment be leased after advertisement
inviting competitive bids, for terms
not exceeding fifty years, with condi-
tions as to maintenance which will
prevent combinations to monopolize
cotrol of the coal in any one district
or market.
That water power sites be directly
leased by the federal government af-
ter advertisement an bidding, for not
exceeding fifty years upon a proper
rental and with a condition fixing
rates charged to the public for units
of electric power, with suitable pro-
visions against assignment to prevent
monOpolies.
I earnestly request congress to en-
act at this session general conserva-
ton legislation of the character indi-
Gated be adopted.
With reference to Alaska the pres
ident still opposes self government,
on the ground that the habitants are
few in number and migratory in char
acter He is opposed to government
aid in the construction of Alaskan
railroads. The passage of a law per-
mitting the leasing or government
control of lands in Alaska after pub
lie competition and the appointment
of a commission for the government of
the territory with enabling powers to
meet the local needs will lead to an
improvement in Alaska and the devel-
opment of her resources, the presi-
dent says.
Railroads and Antitrust Laws.
For the protection of our own peo-
pie and the preservation or our credit
in foreign trade, I urge upon con-
gress the immediate enactment of a
law under which one in good faith ad-
vances money or credit on a bill OF
lading issued by a common carrier
upon an interstate or foreign ship
ment, can hold the carrier liable for
the value of the goods described in the
bill at the valuation specified in the
bill.
I further recommend that q pun
ishment of fine and Imprisonment be
imposed upon railroad agents and
shippers for fraud in misrepresenta-
ton in connection with the issue OF
bills of lading Issued upon interstate
and foreign shipments.
Except as above, I do not recon-
mend any amendment to the interstate
commerce commission law, as 1t
stands. I do not now recommend any
amendment to the antitrust law, In
other words, 1t seems to me that the
| existing legislation with reference tc
| the regulation of corporations and the
restraint of their business, has reach
1 ed 2 point where we can stop for
| while and witness the effect of the
vigorous execution of the laws on the
statute books in restraining the abus
