DE ORC RUNS AWAY
FROM TOM HUESTON
Gets Lead With First Frame
and Increases It, Taking First
Block by 200 to SO.

NEW YORK, February 26.-Alfredo De
Orc started off with a rush in his efforts
to defend the title of pocket billiard
champion against Tom Hueston. The
match began at Doyle's 42d street acad-
emy last night and at the end of the first
nights play De Orc had made 200 points,
while Hueston had 9S. At no time dur
ing the evening did Hueston press De Oro
and. while the champion usually holds
somewhat in reserve for the finish of a
match, last night he set out to get u big
lead and to win by as much as possible
De Orc outplayed Hueston in every way
His judgment was better his skill at both
long shots and in close play was excellent
and he played fast and brilliantly, while
Hueston failed at critical times. was slow
and halting.
Hueston started the war with the first
frame, but made a scratch, and De Oro
gathering in the fourteen, had fair lead
In the next frame De Orc ran Il and his
run was 26, which stood as the best of the
evening for long time. In the third
frame Hueston made a pretty two-cush1on
shot for the side and broke the bunch.
Then Il combination he failed. but left
the cue ball frozen to the bank and De
Gro could do nothing. In the end HueS-
ton took fourteen.
De ORC reached his first century in the
thirteenth frame. His total at the end
of that frame was 1O4, while Hueston had
made So Another fourteen by De Gro in
creased the lead, and then in the fifteenth
frame the champion slipped up on fine
cut Shot
Hueston found the balls well scattered
and took down twelve. when he failed on
a comparatively easy shot and let De Ohio
take the last and have the next break.
Then De Gro gave his best exhibition of
! the evening. He took every ball in three
successive frames and 13 in the fourth,
making a high run of 5,'. He failed to
count when playing too much for position.
This slip enabled Hueston to make run
of II. Then followed a frame in which
neither player did very well and after
that De Gro ran out.
The room was crowded with lovers of
| the game.

BY j. ED GR1LLo.

A base ball school is the latest. Charley
Carr, manager of the Kansas City club OF
the American Association. is behind the
movement. The school is to be located
at San Antonio Tex. The scheme Is to
have all-winter sessions for both novices
and minor league players. Major league
clubs that have youngsters who need
experience are to be sent to the school,
where they will be educated in the fine
points of the game during the winter.
Young men who have ambition to be-
come base ball stars will also be ac
cepted.
Four hundred acres of the finest land,
on which twenty diamonds will be laid
out, have been obtained at San Antonio,
on the edge of which stands the famous
Hot Wells Hotel. with accommodations
for half the base ball players in the
country. Hot sulphur baths and other
climatic advantages of a beneficent
nature combine to make the site ideal
and one of the finest that could be found
anywhere. In addition to the school fca-
ture. it is proposed to establish Il ma
tional training ground for the clubs OF
the two major leagues, and large num-
Der OF magnates who have been ap-
preached on the project have indorsed 1t
heartily
The San Antonio school is expected
to be especially popular as prepara-
tory institution for the major leagues.
Big league magnates. it is believed,
will be eager to send Prof Carr the
scores of embryo stars that are an
nually drafted from the minors. These
youngsters not only will be instructed
in the finer points of the game and given
lessons on inside base ball il is
played in the fastest company, bat their
performances will be carefully watched
by Carr and in many instances by Yep
resentatives of the clubs to which they
belong. In this manner the youngsters
will receive better opportunities to
make good than they have had IN the
past, when they have reported raw
and overweight in the spring and have
been unable to get into their proper
stride before the weeding-ou process
that has sent SO many of them back
to the bushes.
Undoubtedly the new base ball school

ers Oh the market. and in that respect
it is almost certain to prove a boon
to the magnates and be extremely
popular in that quarter. The school IS
expected to throw the calcium light
on many a star that otherwise would
remain undiscovered.
The enforcement Of the salary limit in
the International League is causing
lot of trouble and may result IN gen
eral revolt among the players. To date
only a very small percentage OF the play
ers have accepted terms rendered them
by their clubs, and the chances are that
a majority of them will absolutely refuse
to report under existing conditions The
salary limit Of the league Is 5000 per
month. This limit was arbitrarily fixed
on the league by the National Associa-
ton of Minor Leagues.
This limit naturally forced the clubs to
decrease the salaries of nearly all their
players, and of course in many instances
this was "a hardship on the players who
have refused to sign their contracts. The
clubs. of course. are powerless- If they
violate the salary rule they are subject
10 a heavy fine and If they live up to it
they are sure to start the season with
many of their best players out of the
fold.
For player who was believed to have
come to the end Of his playing career
John King is just now considering one
of the most flattering offers ever made d
catcher. The Cincinnati club. finding it
self short of catching material, is anxious
to secure the services of the veteran
overtureS because of his business inter-
csts in Kansas City, where he conducts a
billiard room which has been very profit
able. Manager Joe Tinker of the Reds,
however. has come through with IL six
