AMATEUR BILLIARD PLANS
w. H. Klencke Elected President
of National Association.

Plans for the International amateur bill
lard championship and the national Class
and 3 tournaments were made last
night at the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association OF Amateur Billiard
Players held at the LiederkFanz, 5Sth
street and Park avenue. II is expected
that the final cable messages from Jacques
Darantierre, the French champion, and AL
bert Poensgen, the German title holder,
will be received in q few days, so that
definite announcements may be made
A cable message was received from
Poensgen to the effect that his entry was
to be posted. He had failed to conform
with some Of the requirements, however
and he was so advised. as was the French
player so that formal entry is expected
within a day or two. All OF the champion
ships will be decided at 1872 balkline bill
iards upon the regulation by 10 table.
In order that the details attending the de-
Gliding Of the international tournament may
go forward without delay, J. Ferdinand
Poggenburg, Of the Liederkranz. was
named as chairman Of q committee that
includes Morris .. Brown. Of the Hamil-
ton Club. Brooklyn: G. O. Rudolphy. Lie
derkranz; DR.. II. D. Jennings, Cres-
cent Athletic Club. and DR.. \. 3. Miller,
Amateur Billiard Club Of New York.
one proposition that was made last
night may change the plans that have
been discussed for the Glass 3 champion
ship. 1t was TO the effect that the tourna-
ment be decided in the breakfast room,
really the annex restaurant, Of the New
York Athletic Club. As II is stated that
the Mercury Foot organization is giving
more attention 10 billiards than hereto
fore. it IS thought that this may be done
The interest in the Glass a tournament is
taxing the ingenuity Of the committee in
charge of that event, but ii is practically
certain that it will go 20 a Western club.
The election of officers for the ensuing
wear resulted as follows: President, Will
lam II. Klenchke, Liederkranz; vice-presi-
dent. Charles starr, New York Athletic
Club: secretary, DR.. Walter G. Douglass
New York Athletic Club; treasurer, c. o.
Rudophy. Liederkranz.
The executive committee includes Morris

AHELL At OLD TRICKS

Gets Ten-Round Draw.

Abe Attell. the featherweight champion
Of the world. was lucky to earn draw in
his ten-round bout with Joe Coster, Of
Brooklyn, at the Vanderbilt Athletic Club,
in Brooklyn last night. For probably one
minute of the entire bout the champion let
himself out and really showed his class
In that one minute he showered blow after
blow on the Italian boy, until the latter
must have longed for home.
This fash OF form came in the last min

lowed with two ripping lefts 70 the stomach
and 4 right 10 the head. The bell found
the bovs sparring in the centre Of the ring.
With this one exception, Attell confined
his efforts to evading the charges of Cos
ter. This he did in his own matchleSs style
for the greater part Of the time. Coster
did land hard blows at intervals, and In the
sftb round drew the blood from Attells

TO OVERCOME SKlDDIMG
Always Keep Some Driving
Power on the Rear Wheels.

with the advent Of wet and slushy
weather" says Automobile Topics" city
pavements assume the most favorable con-
ditions for that bugbear OF all motorists
side-slip or skidding. When your car
starts 10 skid there are two things TO re-
member TO do--decrease your speed. but do
not apply the brakes, and turn the car in
the direction you are skidding.
Always keep a little driving power on
the rear wheels. A car travels in the line
Of least reslstance-the fact that a car
side-slips shows that there is more resist
ance TO forward than a sidewise move
ment, which usually occurs when rounding
corners.
TT is easy to see that by applying the
brakes and locking the rear wheels The
ONLY motion possible Is a sdewise motion
while slight drive on the wheels tends tc
overcome this"

the chassis. Since Mr.. Coffin is president
OF the Society OF Automobile Engineers. his
colleagues in that organization have been
keenly interested in what has been termed
the Coffin masterpiece.
The chassis, set off in its striking colors
of ivory white with maroon trimmings, has
aroused many favorable comments for its
simplicity, beauty Of line and adoption Of
the most advanced ideas making for me-
clanical perfection. The absence of a fan
anG the location Of the pump and magnetic

ELY, New, Aug. "a. - Fire
which killed four miners, serious
ly burned four others and caused
the disappearance of two more
who are believed to have perished,
is still burning today in the new
shaft of the Giroux Consolidated
mine, a subsidiary of the Amalga-
mated Copper company. The
shaft cost s250,900 and Is the
deepest in the district.
Ten men were working in the
mine when it took fire at 9 o'clock
last night.
The four known dead are:
T. J.. GILMORE, boss.
JOHN WILHELMY.
TOM O'DONOVICH.
ED WALSH.
The two missing are:
Jack McNulty and Dan Drew.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by an explosion in one of
the lower levels.

men deem necessities.
Want Fair Share.
What the English workingmen
want is an overturning of exist
ing conditions which will give
them a fair share of the product
of their own labor-that is to say,
an all around wage increase of
$3.50 to $40 weekly.
Needless to say, they are not
going to get such increases with
out a desperate struggle. They
realize this perfectly and are get
ting ready for the fight. The pres
ent strikes are merely preliminary
steps. Each of them has been for
increase in pay, shorter hours, i'm
proved conditions or union recog-
milton.
But they have also been for
much more than this. They have
been demonstrations i'm force,'
intended to let the privileged clas-
ses know what the masses can do
to them If they choose.
When the great campaign does
come, grave" will be too mild a
word to describe conditions in
England.
The labor leaders do not dis
'guise their opinion that the go
|ernment itself will be in serious
danger. But they do not care.
They are determined on a social
revolution at any cost. II a poll
tical comes with it, very well, they
say, it must come.

LONDON, Aug. 24.-While
London was practically isolated
from the rest of the world by the
great strike which is still not en-
tirely> settled, Viscount Churchill,
presiding at a meeting of the
stockholders of the Great West
ern Railway, declared that the
tie-up was part of huge "politi-
cal scheme"
With what the viscount said
few of the more enlightened OF
English workingmen are disposed
to disagree. Great Britain has had
an enormous number of serious
strikes of late. The transport
workers strike, which very near
resulted in starving London to
death, was the biggest of them
thus far, except for the few days
that the railway employees tied up
practically the entire train service.
English workingmen are about
tired at the way in which they
have been ground down by the
privileged classes.
The worlf&Bmen who, in +
United Stated would receive $25
or $40 weekly, get in England, for
the same work, $3.50 to $40.
The cost of living is certainly
slightly lower in England, but the
employees have managed to keep
alive by doing without most every
thing which American working

getting ready to hire teachers and
was checking out those marked
for elimination. Among them
was Miss Hermie Williams OF
Fern Hill.

But to give her chance to re-
sign quietly and seek another
place Principal Groves was asked
to tell her. He failed to do so
1t is said.
Later when Miss Williams got
her letter of dismissal she nearly
tainted.
She rushed to the board for an
explanation. Board members told
her she had been notified weeks
before by the principal.
"Why no I wasn't. Mr.. Groves
never said a word to me. He
always gave me to understand
would stay" said Miss Williams.
The board was deeper in the
dark than ever. Groves was call
ed in. He declared he had noti.

Held Teachers Meeting.
Then all the teachers were
brought in and they universally
testified that Miss Williams had
always talked and acted as if she
expected to stay and no intimatior
had ever been given her of any
thing else.
In the meantime Mrs. Bullard
had telephoned to Groves about
the case.
When the principal was called
in again he denied ever having
talked to Mrs. Bullard, the board
members say.
This was the last straw and the
board unanimously decided the
pedagegue was Doc Cook and
they prepared toboggan slide
for him.
But Groves does not want tC
