LOSS FOR SPORT WORLD.
Death Of Neil Snow Removes Clean

In the sudden death of Neil w.

sustained an almost irreparable loss.

No man of his age in America had
done more To promote the interests of
clean, honorable sport among college
men than Mr.. Snow. He was the ideal

men who have followed him at Mich

Neil Snow stands for perfection in
athletics, both as a performer and a
champion of the best principles of
gentlemen's sport.

One of Mr.. Shows NEST charming
traits was modesty. He never allow
ed his athletic triumphs To turn his
head nor his personal history To in

up topic involving his own greatness

deprecated his own accomplishments.

of I to s by the members OF the Ma
tional Association of Amateur Billiard
Players who recently held their an
nual convention in this city.
Still further restrictions were plac-
ed on woud-be champions of future
international contests by the inclusion
of a paragraph in the class rating
which was framed To read:
mo amateur shall be eligible to
compete in an international champion
ship event who has not either won a
national championship or has made
a grand average of 10 in some pre-
vious tournament with amateurs of
good standing at lS-inch ballline, two
shots in, unless he. in the opinion of
the committee, is capable of equivalent
performance"
No date or place was set for holding
either the 1872 Class a. championship
or the pocket billiard titular contest.
although it was stated that both the
Boston Athletic association and the
Union League club of Philadelphia
were DESTROYS of staging the first
named event. The question IN regard
to the billiard championship will be
held in allegiance for several days
for the privilege to hold the event,
for which notices were recently sent
out.
A movement is under way to further
restrict those eligible for the Class c |
division by requiring those who de
sire to take part In the series for
championship honors to have mini |
mum grand average of ut least two
and not over five, in order To become
eligible. II was stated that such a

was changed to read, "Or he may call
upon the referee to spot the balls and
play from the opening shot"
The rule just changed has been Il

pected that recurrence to the original
