HUESTON FAR BEHIND
IN BIG POOL MATCH
Alfred De Orc, Champion, Dou-
bIes His Cha|Ienger's Score
in First Nights Play.

NEW YORK, March 8. - Thomas A.
Hueston now faces a severe handicap in
| his -hundred-point challenge match
against Alfred De Orc. the pool champion
Playing far below his usual form, Hues-
| ton dropped more than one hundred points
l'behind his rival in the first division Of the
contest at Doyle's rooms last night, and
is now conceded only little chance of VIC
tory. The final score was 2O6 to 1O3.
The game. which has attracted a gall
lery of nearly 500, was one-sided practi-
cally from the start. De ORC, stroking in
his usual bold, confident style, kept add
ing steadily to his total in every frame.
His exhibition of position play was of the
mastery sort. while that of Hueston was
the direct opposite. The latter was ex-
tremely nervous, erratic, and missed time
after time on shots that appeared very
easy of execution.
1t was between the seventh and twelfth
frames that the champion gained most of
his advantage He began in the seventh
session by registering the first full score
of the game, following with runs of IL.
10. IL and 10 for a total of 60. During the
same period Hueston accumulated only
dozen counts
Hueston made some spectacular five-ball
combinations after keen study. but he
failed to take proper advantage or MS OPP
portunites through poor judgment in
choice of shots He had a continued run
of hard luck early in the match. when
the balls broke badly for him. Twice he
fouled with his sleeve when he appeared
to have a favorable opening for run.
while on another occasion he lost fine
chance by the mistake of calling Eight
BALI when he was trying for number IL
De Orc had a high run OF 49, with
which effort he closed the match, while
Hueston's best score was -. The cham
pion made every ball in the frame half
a dozen times. but Hueston failed to &C
complish it at any time.

Championships Awarded That City
Over New York.

NEW YORK. March s.-The awarding
of the national field and track champion
ships of the Amateur Athletic Union to
Pittsburg this year has come as a sur.
prise to New York athletes. Cleveland
and New York had been considered here
the chief contenders for the honors. All
Of the clubs express satisfaction with the
award. however. and plans are already
being made for a big entry from New
York.
The junior championships are scheduled
for the last Saturday in. June, and the
senior meet on the following Monday. The
into it's new million dollar clubhouse, will
have charge OF. the games. and has agreed
to put Schenley Oval, where most of the
athletic meets are held. in perfect condi-
ton for the championship meet.
The meet would naturally have gone to
Philadelphia If the latter city had had a
place to hold the event. The University
of Pennsylvania would not allow Franklin
Field to be given over to outsiders, and
this eliminated Quakertown.

HARVARD MAY DROP NAVY.
Crimson Oarsmen Consider Plan
to Substitute Cornell.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. March S.-A
change in the usual schedule for the
Harvard crew is under consideration. 1t
is proposed to drop the April race with
Annapolis and row Cornell six instead of
four weeks before the Yale race. The
new plan has the unqualified advantage
of allowing Wray, the coach. to make
the Cornell contest an end In itself. This
has not before been possible, owing to
the proximity in the past Of the two and
four mile races. With the strain of the
long course at New London only a month
away, when Cornell has been met at
ithaca or on the Charles on Memorial
day, it has been considered impracticable
to adopt temporarily the sustained high
stroke necessary to win from Cornell over
a two-mile course. But with six weeks
to prepare for Yale, the university crew
can meet Cornell on even terms.
Also the proposed arrangement will
probably have an important, If less OBJ
vious bearing on the race at New Lon
don. Cornell ordinarily succeeds in win
ming at Poughkeepsie. Therefore should
Harvard manage to defeat Cornell, the
Yale contest would assume truly cham
piOnship character, according to Har-
wards point Of view.
From the above consideration of the
new plan," says the Harvard Crimson
editorially, the change appears worthy
of adoption, and on the surface. at
least, seems entirely advantageous.

TOO FAITHFUL AS TO
GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS
Walker Accepted Beckendorf's
Call Literally and Almost
Disposed of Lajoie.

MONROE, La, March S.-Henry
Beckendorf, the Detroit catcher, be-
lieves that there is such a thing as
too great faithfulness to instructions.
He proved the point by telling how
near base ball came to losing one OF
it's most famous players. just because
a Washington pitcher tried to do liter
ally what his catcher told him to.

WOLGAST VS.. BROWN.
Another Contest to Be Staged Be.
tween the Two LightWeights.

NEW YORK, March Sit is announced
here that another fight between Wolgast
lightweight champion, and Knockout
Brown of New York will probably be
staged in California within the next three
months. In view of the excellent work
of Brown against the champion in their
two recent engagements in Philadelphia
and New York, a finish fight is looked
upon as a proposition likely to attract
widespread interest.
Featherweight Champion Abe Attell
Packey Mcfarland and Owen Moran have
all expressed burning desire to fight
Wolgast for the lightweight champion
ship title and will probably try to ar
range matches before he leaves for the
west. "One Round" Hogan is expected to
fight Wolgast at the Madison A. c. In
this city April Is, and this will probably
be the champions last battle in the east
this spring
Tom Jones. manager for wolgast, is
now on his way to Los Angeles, to close
arrangements for the battle with Brown.
