GOOD RELAY EVENTS
Are Carded for George Wash
ington Meet.
WILL CONTEST is RACES
Largest Number Of Like Events
Ever Down on Local
Track Program.

The management of the George Wash
ington meet of Saturday night will have
one of the largest list of relay races ever
run off at any meet in this city. There
has been considerable difficulty in CLASH
flying properly the large number, but it
has been DONE and they have been put in
sixteen different races. They range from
the race between Carlisle and Swarth-
more, which will top off the evening, to
that between underground teams Of the
St. Andrews School of Baltimore and
the local Y. Nj. c. A. race which will
cause a good deal Of interest among

ing hard, as the race will be for the
military championship of this vicinity,
and there will be crowd of their COM
rades there to cheer them on.
The interfraternity race has caused
great deal of interest in George WASH
ington University, as it is closed event,
open only to students of the university.
and there is great rivalry between the
different fraternities.
Altogether, the list seems to be very
comprehensive one, and one will be hard
to please, indeed, II ne IS not SatlSHeu

The Business High has entered relay
at the last moment, SO that the race for
the local scholastic championship will be
a three-cornered one between them, Tech
and Western. 1t should be holly con-
tested one. as Western and Business have
already met in the Business gym and
the race there was a close one.

he softly sent the cue ball rolling To
the second object ball to touch 1t with
gauzy carom. His one fault seemed
to lie In his propensity to jiggle his cue
when making doubtful shot. Several
times this caused him to miss, but he
was far superior to Sutton, who failed
to show any speed whatever.
After the first burst of the opening
innings had subsidized the two players
lapsed into streak that was both un-
eventful and unremunerative Strictly SO
in the latter sense, as one of the Wall
street bankers present was heard to re-
mark that the caroms were worth ex-
actly 81 each. according to the market
value OF the purse for which they were
competing.
Hoppe was the first to break the spell.
Sutton had left him a fair set-up as he
came to the table for his eleventh turn.
BY some pretty deadball driving Hoppe
soon had the spheres rolling smoothly
along the rails. He led them to and fro
up and down the length of the table,
under feathery touch The counts
came rapidly-so rapidly that the big
crowd sat silent and spellbound, as il
fearing to disturb the murmuring click
of the worries. Finally the globes came
to a lineup at the foot OF the table and
In the center panel. Hoppe fddled over
q masse for some time, and when he did
let 60 muffed the shot completely. He
had put together a run of 90, however
and when, two innings later, he repeat

full measure Of applause.

SUTTON NO MATCH
FOR WILLIE HOPPE

Chicago Cueist at 1872
BaIk Line Billiards.

NEW YORK, February S.-William F..
Hoppe successfully defended his holding
of the worlds 1872 balk line billiard cham
pionship title last night. For the sec
ond time in less than three months he
defeated George Sutton Of Chicago. his
challenger. The score was 500 points to
$50. The two met at table in the grand
ballroom of the Hotel Aston, and the
scene was one which has never been
rivaled at billiard match in this coun-
try. 1t served to send Hoppe along at
his most masterful gait, for he finished
with an average of % 7-17, and high runs
of SO. SO and an impressive unfinished
run of 7S with which he completed his
string. Sutton's average was 16 SIT and
his best runs were 81, 80 and Al.
At all times Hoppe demonstrated that
he stands easily as the master Of Ameri-
can billiards today. His open table play,
especially when a number of intricate
cushions were required. was HAWKES.
Then, he is closely approaching to that
phenomenal method of dropping on the
second object ball which in other days
caused the late Jacob Schaeffer to stand
invincible.

purpose was to try and secure the par

lawyer, whose recent sentence to three

There is every reason to believe, how

private business and that his visit is
strictly non-political.

BODY FROZEN IN ICE.
Head and Arms Cut Off Police Sus-
pect Murder.

GALLIPOLIS. Ohio, February S.-The
naked body of a middle-aged man with
the head and arms cut off was found
last night frozen into shore ice near
the right bank of the Great Kanawha
river at point just above Johnson S
shoals.
A passing boatman discovered the
corpse, which had evidently been in the
water several weeks, as shown by a
slight decomposition. An investigation
has been commenced by the local au-
thorities to discover who was responsible
for the mans death. Efforts at identih-
cation today failed.

what an ideal day 1t would have been
for open-air curling, as it was cold, clear
and bright, with no wind.
In days gone by I used to curl a good
deal in Dumfriesshire, and at my home We
had large loch called Kinmount loch,
where every year when the winter was
propitious we had several big days for
curling, when as many as a thousand
people would assemble to see local Kinks
from Amman Ecclerechan (the home OF
Thomas Carlyle), Carrutherstown, Locer.
bic. Dumfries, etc., meet in, friendly
rivalry. Every rink had it's band OF
their champions in victory or moan with
them in defeat.
There is a great difference between
open-air curling, such as l speak OF
above, and covered-in curling, such as
look place in the curling shed at Wash:
curing takes place in the open air, il
must make a great difference to the
Scotsmen's play. Artificial ice is much
faster. Being protected from the wealth.
er, the ice is practically perfect. with.
out blemish or impeachment of any sort
From purely sporting point of view
curling in the open air Is infinitely pref
cradle. 1t requires greater skill and
forethought to judge the weight and
force to be put into every throw. as
everything has to be taken into &C
count-wind, surface, water, etc. I have
seen many game played on ice cover
ed with an inch of water, and general
ship and judgment of the highest order
are called into operation in such a case.
Also from a spectacular point of view
the open-air play is infinitely preferable,
as spectators can line the sides of the
rink and follow the stones from start to
finish.
The shed at Washington Park, while
providing ice of the highest order, does
not lend itself to giving onlookers good
view. as one can see the game only from
the two ends. and the space for sight
seers is limited, consequently it was
somewhat of a disappointment not to be
able to follow the game as closely as one
would have liked.
1 suppose nearly every one in that shed
for curling is essentially a game which
appeals to Scotchmen and almost to
Scotchmen only. The Royal Caledonian
links were putting in some splendid
shots, and so, too. were the Chicago
club men, and but for sentiment I would
not have known where to place my
money had i wished to name the winner.
For the two hours that / was there ]
imagined was back among the old folks
at home.
The Chicago club seemed just as
Scotch In speech and character as the
Royal Caledonians, and but for the
Scotch bonnets which the Caledonians
wore it would have been hard for any
one to distinguish the members Of one
rink from another.

LATONIA, KY, June 25.-John 7.
Ireland is the popular choice of the
patrons of racing in the Blue Grass
state for the position Of presiding Judge
on all tracks in Kentucky.
Public sentiment is going to force
the racing commission to assume the
responsibility of appointing all officials
for tracks operated under its jurisdic-
ton from now on and Mr.. Ireland is in
line to succeed Charles F. Price in the
judges stand. 1t is rumored that the
latter will retire from his official posi-
tion at the close of the Latonia season
and when racing recommences in Ken
lucky next fail Mir Ireland will be
found in supreme control
At present Ireland is handling the
horses of the millionaire turfman,
Frank G. Hogan. but it is stated on
good authority that he will quit the
