POOL EMIT
At Rocky Mountain Athletic Assoc-
alton.

In the second of the series of
games for the associations trophy,
Richard Frazer, proprietor of the
Newport cafe, met and defeated
James Wilson in hundred ball
game on Monday afternoon, Sd inst,
by the score of 100 points to 9S. The
spacious pool hall was crowded to its
utmost capacity and the keenest in
terest was exhibited by the specta-
tors. The combatants played a very
good game, each realizing that it was
worth his while TO play his best.
Frazer, however, got the better of his
man on a run which brought his
score to the required number Of
points. 1t is quite likely that these
two players will meet in the near fu-
ture. as the loser feels that he can
outplay his opponent. The game last
ed an hour and half. The date of
the next game will be advertised in
this journal.

Your letter OF the 10Th received and
would say in reply that the Memorial

mile run on February s, and enclose
one of our entry blanks. l trust that
the same will help to explain matters.
This move on our part was one that
has been brought about by the South

oversights and neglect to our men
and TO the athletes of this city. We
feel that Washington clubs are per-
fectly able to manage and support
We have practically had no repre-
sentation in A. A. U. affairs in this
section.
We are perfectly open and broad
minded in reference to amateurism.
and our organization believes in
doing all II can to aid and abet
athletic events that may arise.
We, In our own minds, are not
violating any rules of amateur ath-
letics in giving run for the bene-
fit Of all who are interested in long
distance events. providing they
prove they are amateurs.
Would say that IL you will be in
this city In the near future, would
be more than glad to have a talk
with you in regard to the above.
We beg to remain,
Respectfully yours,
