of Revising Constitution Of

As tho final word In it's controversy with

kins, president of the local company. said
yesterday:
I'VE came under the censure of the Amer

advertised-truthfully and without exag-
gcration--the performances Of our stock
cars in the Vanderbilt and Grand Prize
races. This led to a reconsideration of the
entire racing question on the part of our
firm here and the factory at Detroit, as
result of which we have decided 10 with.
draw entirely from racing while such un-
just rules are enforced.
Such virtues as may be urged for racing
can certainly only hold true II the racing s

In ten rounds OF boxing at the National

slight, In fact, that's there were many who
declared that draw would have been a

Fast and interesting at all :imcs, the
bout kept the rather slim crowd In high
state of excitement De Ponthieu forced
the pace, and charged In at all times, hook
ing away with both hands for the face and
body spry on his feet. Marchant worked
around him In circles and called a fast
left hand jab into play with telling effect
While Marchant has been advertised as a
featherwelght and capable OF making 1876
pounds in the ring. he weighed l33 pounds
last night and appeared trained TO the limit
The Frenchman tipped the beam at lSl
pounds Marchant was guilty of rather
questionable tactics at times. IN the fifth

In perfect touch and compiling big runs,
j. Ferdinand Poggenburg won the evening
game, In which he defeated DIR. Leonidas
l.. Mial by the score of 400 points to 275.
The famous Liederkranz player completed
his string in twenty-five innings, with an
even average of 1G. This was not the only
remarkable thing about his cueing, how
ever. for he put together eight double figure
clusters-the largest Of which was 92-and
for these his total tally was 362, or an aver
age OF a shade better than 80 for the eight
turns at the tafle.
II was necessary for Poggenburg to play
swiftly, for Dr. Mial was also in rare good
form. His ball-to-ball carroms were splen-
didly managed, and his method OF dropping
daintily on the second object ball for the
count was according to the most scientific
methods Of modern billiards. He made an
average of II 11-2l for his portion of the
match. and his high runs We're s., %
and -.
Poggenburg put together a pleasing clus-
ter Of 35 on his second turn at the table.
IL remained for the doctor to amaze the
crowd as he collected the ivory globes at the
upper rail on his nth turn and began to
deftly roll them back and forth for the

then the spheres kissed off on long draw
and he retired
It was not until the eleventh inning that
Poggenburg really got his stroke i'm perfect
working order. Then he coaxed the globes
to the foot OF the table and by short car
roms along the lines worked out AZ before
missing a little draw shot. His next turn
was altogether a marvellous display Of
close carroms, which added % to his string.
During this run his control Of the cue bail
was nothing short of masterful, and his ac-
curacy OF short shots with reverse english
proved delight TO the billiard lovers who
sat spellbound as he clicked off the counts.
At 80 a dead ball drive rolled the balls into
poor position Two more and they lined
up on the end rail, with the cue ball out
side. Poggenburg attempted a difficult half
masse and went wide.
Altogether the work Of Poggenburg was
remarkably resourceful He played the cor
rect shots instnctively and afforded such a
display of nigh class billiards as TO make
him favorite for the title
