NEW YORK, November I9.-Ora Morn
ingstar and Harry Cline were the winners
yesterday afternoon in the 1872 balxline
worlds championship billiard tournament
In the Hotel Astor. Morningstar de-
feated AL Taylor by score Of 800 points
to 80, with an average of fraction
more than p, and high runs of 12l., lO6
and 80. Taylor's average was a shade
more than II. and his best runs were 6o.
So and 81 Both Of Morningstar's runs Of
more than 100 were counted by clever
nursing and deft manipulation. Each fur
nished the Illuminating spots of what
proved to be rather prosy contest
Cline defeated Calvin Demarest by q
score of 500 points to 443, the averages
and high runs beng on the low side. 1t
so happened that Cline, Demarest and the
referee. Albert G. Cutler. represented a
trio that couple OF seasons ago toured
the country In vaudeville act. As Ciine
and Demarest both struck bad siunps in
the scoring they began to inject echoes
Of their former act into the match. Whom
the globes rolled slowly Cline yelled
'Giddap!" while Demarest stood up and
called 'Whoa!" For the most part the
game was one Of banging cushion shots;
partly accounted for by the fact that the
tvories acted sluggishly because Of the
chill OF the room. -

What the Doctors Say About Mushroom
Poison and Its AntidOtes

Mr.. Francis NJ. I. Fsbre, the venerable
and iDustrious entomologist, has. in the
tenth volume of his Souvenirs" revealed
a method by which ordinarily poisonous
mushrooms may be rendered harmless
During the thirty years which he has
lived at Serignan (Heraul0 he has never
heard a report of even the slightest case
of poisoning from this cause in the re,
gion, although mushrooms are eaten there
in large quantities, especially in the au-
tumn.
At the same time he states that in his
walks through the forests in the vicinity
he has often seen in the baskets of the
gatherers the ''bolet pourpre," a variety
of mushroom which is classified among
the most dangerous and the most poison
Gus; the .'agaric annulaire," which is very
abundant at the foot of the mulberry
trees, and is, consequently, very frequent
ly employed; the ''bolet Satan, the
smooth headed "amanite" and many other
varieties considered extremely dangerous,
which, he found, are eaten indiscrimi.
nately.
The reason for such immunity, says Mr..
Fabre, is that in the district it is Gus
tomary to bleach all mushrooms-that is,
to boil them first in slightly salted water
and then wash them several times with
cold water. They are then ready for prep
aration for the table in whatever form
may be preferred. Thus, whatever might
have been dangerous at the beginning is
rendered innocuous, the boiling and the
washings carrying off all the harmful prin-
ciples.
Mr.. Fabre adds that his own experience
proves the efficacy OF the method followed
in the district. Very often he and his
family have eaten the "agaric annulaire, ;"
which is considered very poisonous. One
Of his friends, a physician, to whom he
had expressed his ideas upon the treat
ment Of mushrooms BY boiling. desired to
