DE- ORC TAKES REVENGE
OverhauIS Sherman in Second
Block of Pool Match.

Playing up 10 mis- championship FORM,
Alfredo De ORC last night overhauled
Frank Sherman. of washington, in the
second session OF their match for the
worlds pocket billiard title. Before a
crowd that packed Doyle's Academy. in
West 4?d street. De orc counted a total
OF "a balls for the night, which. minus
three scratches. brought his total up
TO 800
Sherman only counted 80 balls, and as
he scratched FIVE times his grand total
stood at 345. Altogether thirty-one frames
were played I'm which De ORC had the
break twenty-four times HIS high run
was 3 balls.
At one stage Of the game De orc start
ed a riot OF discussion by claiming that
Sherman had not called his shot It was
carly in the night, and had the effect of
handicapping the challenger, who con-
tinued under protest.
Sherman began the second session by
making a break of the full pyramid. He
scattered the balls more than he had in
tended, but even so. DE orc bungled a
long shot. the challenger doing the same
thing in his turn. Then the old champion
began to pick off the balls in the easiest
fashion.
De orc right along was Outplayins his
opponent He was making every break OF
the pyramid from the free ball and doing
well In this respect he was greatly i'm
proved, for each time he cleared the table
the cue ball was left In an advantageous
position. De ORC, for the first time In
the night. took every ball in the seventh
frame, after making a wonderful break.
Two frames later on he added to the
excitement by leaping To his feet as Sher-
man sent the third ball of the frame into
the pocket De orc claimed Sherman had
not properly called the number of the
ball. Right there all OF the crowd of
spectators broke loose with advice. The
majority shouted that Sherman had called
play fair.
The champion appealed to Frank Keogh,
the referee, who said he had not hea nd
the voice of the challenger.
Everybody took hand in the argument
It was a babble of shouting and Kisses
Sherman claimed he had called and de-
clared he would not go on except under
protest. De ORC made an impassioned
plea that he was only playing according
to the rules
BY steady playing. although it was up
hill work, De orc passed into the lead In
the twenty-second frame. At this period
the tally stood at 32l TO 9l6 Never there
after was Sherman successful in getting
the lead and he finished weakly. The final
the match beginning at 1880.

EASY DAY FOR CORNELL
Sharpe Excuses Regulars on
Account of Slippery Field.
LONG REST FOR ENRICH
Dartmouth Eleven Leaves for
ithaca, Confident Of an
Easy Victory.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Ithaca, n. y, Nov. Rain falling
continuously since yesterday, converted
Alumni Field into anything but de-
sirable gridiron for work to-day, on the
eve of the game with Dartmouth, and
this coupled with the fact that many OF
the players are sorely In need OF rest
after two strenuous days, led Al Sharpe
10 spare the regulars.
O'Hearne was >the only varsity man
who saw service in the battle between
the two teams which were lined up
against each other. The substitutes, now
ever, were in action, and IN truth II Is
upon these men that Cornell must rely
for It's showing against the New Hamp-
shire team.
II was decided to-day that Eyrich VIII
not play at end on Saturday. He said he
was feeling better than he has for some
time and this was borne out by his APP
pearance. but nevertheless the rest will
be beneficial and the possibility OF injury
eliminated.
Fritz Rees will play in Eyrich's place
and this understudy has been making
advances consistently since practice
started. Although there are several can
didates for the end positions. Rees seems
TO combine the qualifications in that he is
fast in running down under punts and a
good tackler
Il was decided to-day not to SHIFT
O'Connor to quarterback, for the reason
that the vacancy at left halfoack which
such a move would create cannot be sat
sfactorily filled In order, however, to
accomplish the end of improving the gen
eralship on the field, DR.. Sharpe has
placed O'Conner IN command. and from
his position at left half he will size up
situations and call the signals, with Taber
playing quarter
This arrangement will be in effect only
for the Dartmouth game. and the feeling
still continues to gain strength that
Finn" O'Conner is the ultimate man for
quarterback. Taber's chief value as a
back lies in his ability TO dodge tackles.
O'Conner, however, is especially suscepu-
BILE to injury, and, so as to be able TO re-
place him should the necessity arrive.
Dixie" Smith is receiving much atten-
ton.
Eddie Hill has been playing fullbaclS
most Of the week, but II cannot be said
now that he is the foremost candidate FOR
the position. Miller is out OF condition
and has met with many setbacks this fall,
and while he has been in the second string
lineup this week. he may receive more
favorable consideration on Saturday. Hin
fails frequently to md the hole created
by the forwards, and his secondary de-
fence and tackling are unsatisfactory.
Smith and Trainer we're the quarterbacks
on the two teams that scrimaged this
afternoon.

The animation in the leaf market is
subsiding. Transactions seem to have
become of the more routine kind to fill
out odds and ends. If there were
nlentiful stock of binder leaf it would
find ready market but as it is binder
leaf of any description is the scarcest
article to be found in any quantity
Being therefore free from overburden-
ing activity, the mind and concern OF
the market are wrapped up IN certain
incidents happening in the tobacco dis
tricts. Chief of which is the anxiety
about the ultimate outcome OF this
years Connecticut crop for which spec
ulative investors contracted at an al
most unprecedented figure before 1t
even went into the sheds. Now, how
ever, come some very disturbing re-
ports about the proper curing OF the

that the crop will turn out IN the
perfection which it promised when 1T

when such disappointment struck
speculative investor he merely dOcked
his contract at the time of the delivery
of the undesirable bargain. But since
the Connecticut tobacco grower is ex-
acting deposit Of 500 per acre or 25
per cent of the purchase price of the
contract, docking entails rather seri-
GUS loss for the speculative packer. Ii
therefore the Connecticut doesn't turn
out as expected the too early invest
ment in it's tobacco crop this year is
likely to result in rather heavy imam
cial losses to the trade. No wonder
then that the prospect of such losses is
beginning to cast shadow Of depres-
sion on the market. The only bright
spot in the market for the present
seems to be the Havana situation. The
more of the new crop is being tested
the quicker become its sales and the
early birds are likely to profit by a
prompt securing of supply as the quail
ity of the tobacco and its quick absorp-
tion are about to enhance considerably
