National Association
Will Enforce Strictly
the Amateur Rule.

Under the recent ruling Of the National
Association Of Amateur Billiard Players
the more thorough enforcement Of the
amateur standard for players begins to-
morrow with the new year. In measure
il may be considered as a good resou-
ton to keep the "gentlemen's game" free
from faint OF professionalism. Wherever
the amateur completes in an open tourna-
ment at any form OF billiards the national
association has declared itself for control.
The amateur rule. which is the foundation
Of the association, is to be lived up TO after
tomorrow.
The rule follows:
An amateur billiard player Is one who
has never competed in any open-to-all con-
test, nor played for a purse or a division
Of gate money, nor received pecuniary
benefit In any way from such contests
One who has never, al any period OF his
life. been proprietor OF or employed In
billiard room. or ever taught or pursued
billiards as a means OF livelihood, or
ever engaged in the manufacture or sale
OF billiard tables"

contents with which the lovers OF sports
will be interested Besides covering the
game thoroughly from which II takes its

AUTOMOBlLING.

Although there was less automobile racing
during 1911 than in 1910, the year was
marked by the breaking Of records at vari-
Gus distances Bob Burrnan proved worthy
successor to Barney Otdheld as the leader
of the sprinting division, and early in the
year he made things hum on the beach al
Florida. His most remarkable performance
was a mile in 25.4 seconds with the BEtz-
zen Benz car. a rate Of speed Of fraction
more than al miles an hour This was
faster than man had ever travelled before,
and created a sensation in all parts OF the
world On the same day Burnan lowered
the worlds tVo-nlile record TO SIPS seconds,
travelling al a rate Of about l3S miles an
hour. In September. at the Brighton Beach
racetrack, he also lowered the worlds mile
track record, previously held by Ralph De
Palma TO 1852. Il was unquestionable that
in this trial he could have gone much faster
except for the sharp turns Of the course
which threatened danger every few seconds.
To America in the final months Of the
year came the worlds race record at dis
tances over 200 miles. The old figures o.
7403 had been made by Nazzaro with a
Fiat car in Sicily in 1907, These were re-
placed by Herrick with a National car In
the Santa Monica road race in California.
lie covered z2 miles at rate Of 7462 miles
an hour. Later in the year came the Van
derbllt Cup and the Grand Prize races at
Savannah. Both threatened the record,
Mulford's I1ozier in the Vanderbilt covering
og1 miles at the rate Of 74.o7 miles an hour
and Bruce-Browns Fiat winning the Al
mile Grand Prize race at an average speed
Of "A Is miles an hour

TO TUNNEL ENGLISH CHANNEL
Scheme ls Being Revived In Spite Of
Refusal to Pass Last
Bill.

The scheme for tunnel between
England and France is being revived
in spite Of the emphatic refusal Of
the last bill which was presented in
1907. But great changes have been
brought about since then in relation
to the military opposition to the
scheme, for the coming of the aero.
plane and its rapid development as
an implement of war have to some
extent removed the idea of danger
from invasion by tunnel.
III IL aeroplanes can cross the
channel together, as they did few
weeks ago, there is little reason why
an army of them may not do so in
the near future if they wished. A tun-
mel also might under certain circum-
stances be a help in time of war
rather than danger, as much of our
food supply could be brought
through it.
The chief advantage, however, of
the tunnel would be an increase of
trade and tourist traffic between Eng
land and France as well as countries
beyond France. At present the bor-
ings at each side. are well over a
mile and it is estimated that the
whole work could be completed with
in five years, as there is no hard rock
to be pierced. The adoption of cleo
tricity instead Of steam would also
remove one of the original draw
backs.

ing to Work.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 26.-King Da.
Wis, a negro, insulted Frank Schwab,
a white man with whom he had been
playing pool.
Thereupon Frederick Schwab
Franks brother, demanded an apology
A quarrel followed, during which the
negro shot Frederick Schwab through
the heart. Davis was arrested and
taken to the lookup at Brooklyn, a sub.
urb of Baltimore, in which the shoot.
ing occurred.
In the morning about o'clock seven
men broke into the lookup and. over
towering Davis, hit him over the head
with hatchet and after dragging him
by the heels to a vacant lot about
fifteen YARDS east of the station fired
five shots through his heart, and then
after mutilating the body with the
Ratchet, left his body lying in the
road.
The corpse was discovered by me-
gro on his way to work and he mott
fed Chief of Police Irwin. This was
the first information of the lynching
the authorities had received.
The lynchers' had evidently timed
their visit to the lookup when it was
unprotected.

Fish Imported to XIII Insect Change
Their Diet and Turn to
Shrimp.

Citizens Of various American dis
tricts have been endeavoring to rid
their neighborhoods of mosquitoes by
stocking their ponds with little import
ed fish which eat the mosquito larvae.
That the plan has its drawbacks is in
dicated by the following from ehe Ha-
waiian Star: "A war OF the races is
going on in local fresh water and
brackish waters and there has been
slaughter in the ranks which threat
ems the extinction of at least one
species of Hawaiian fresh water fishes.
The tender and toothsome Opu nakea,
the little fish whichsa comparatively
short time ago one might buy already
cooked and wrapped in leaves in the
fish market or from peddling natives.
Is becoming so scarce that its entire
disappearance seems to be only mat
ter OF time. The frogs and the top
minnows are accomplishing its down.
fall. these voracious enemies greedily
devouring its spawn.
1.-THE topminnows or mosquito fish,
as they are called, are thriving amaz-
ingly in the local ponds. but. like the
mongoose. have diverted their tastes
from the food which 1t was intended
they should subsist on. The mongoose
found chicken more to its taste than
cane rat and the topminnow's diet
seems to have changed from 'skeeter
to shrimp. 1t is true that where there
is nothing to eat but mosquito larvae
the minnows devour them fast enough,
but when shrimps and skeeters both
figure on the bill of fare both are
treated impartially by the ravenous
little fish.
"Out Moanalua and Kalihi way, in
the streams which empty themselves
into the sea and in which shrimps
abounded by the million short time
ago, practically none are now to be
found. The topminnows have killed
them off. In the fish ponds thousands
of transparent husks lying along the
shore tell the tale of the havoc
wrought by the mosquito fish among
the opae."

Near the ancient country seat of

Of which are nailed four horse shoes.
These have been in their present po-
sition for nearly 500 years. A former
member Of the Carew family made a
wager with friend that he would ride
his horse mile out to sea in Tor bay
and back again. The fact was more
difficult than appears at first sight, for
the cross-currents are dangerous. even
for boats.
He won the bet, however. and nailed
the four horse shoes Of his steed to
the church door to commemorate the
performance.
