PRESIDENCY BOOMS
BOB UP AND DOWN IN
BIG CONVENTION TOWN
Hughes Men Look Eastward in
Hope Silence Will Be Broken.
Roosevelt Backers' Eyes on
.. Kansas City
BURTON FOLLOWERS BUSY

CHICAGO, May 30.-Underneath the sur
face of apparent calm along Michigan
avenue, made necessary by the character
of the day. the political activities of half
dozen presidential candidates eddied and
swirled today.
The eyes of the men in the maelstrom
were not in Chicago. Half of them were
turned toward the East in the fororn, ex-
pectant hope that the sphnx-like silence
OF Justice Hughes would in some mys-
terious manner braak for a brief instant
and give them an insight into the next two
weeks. The other half were looking. to-
wards the West where Colonel Roosevelt
will, this afternoon, make one of his most
important preconvention speeches at Kan
sas City. 1t is admittedly around these two
figures, SO dameterically opposite in their
positions that the situation revolved to-
day, and quite probably will continue to
revolve until the 7th of June.
HITCHCOCK CONFIDENT.
Frank H. Hitchcock is so inslstent and
seemingly so confident that Justice Hughes
will accept the nomination If 1t is rendered
him that managers of the favorite sons
and the smaller fry are slightly discon-
certed. Just as Htchcocks arrival crystal
lized the Hughes sentiment here so did the
Colonel's whirlwind arrival and departure
late yesterday give an added impetus to
the movement of his candidacy
Immediately on his departure came the
announcement of the formation of COM
mittee of Illinois Republicans headed by ].
Ogden Armour to work for the nomination

Of this new committee will be held Thurs

Today also was marked with the actual
beginning of pre.conventlon activities of the
Burton men. Headquarters are in charge
of Wade II. Ellis, Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral In the Taft administration and one of
the men who played a prominent part in di.
recting the formation of the 1908 platform.

A well-known textile union official
who is on a recruiting committee tells
a story OF a nea aged forty-four
years. who was anxious to join the

was rejected.

Dickinson High And
B. III. S. Play Saturday

On Saturday the B. H. S. boys will
play the Dickinson High school boys,
who are the champions of their state.
Dickinson High is the largest high
school in Jersey City. The boys from
the mosquito state defeated the locals
last year and will try hard to repeat.
The Athletic association of the High
school recently passed a ruling which
prohibits any player on the high
school team from playing on any
other team. This ruling is just one
of the numerous attempts of the pres
est A "A. to make the fellows give
their best and undivided services to
B. H. s. Another law, which is the
honor system, was passed at the same
time and compels the fellows to re-
port to their captain every time they
break the training rules.
The A. A now has a squad Of fell
lows who will keep the rules of train
ing and who will obey the instructions
Of the coach. The locals have no stars
on their team. They did have but
they have left. Taken man by man
the team does not make much of an
impression but put them on a floor
and they're the best high school team
in the state. Their opponents for Sat
urday have beaten several strong
teams. in that vicinity, the Army
PIebes being among the victims.

THRILLING FINISH

New Haven, Conn, Jan 26.-Prince-
ton went down to defeat at the hands
Of the Yale basketball team here last
night in a whirlwind finish, the Anal
score being 10 to IL. The victory gives
Yale an equal claim with Pennsylva-
MIA to first place in the race for cham
pionship honors in the intercollegiate
Basketball league.
Yale was the first to- score, when
Kinney shot a basket Immediately af-
ter the. game began. Princeton. played
up to Yale all OF the time. but the
Ellis set such a pace that the Tigers
overlook them and obtained the lead
only once. The half ended in a tie, II
to II. 5000
The Yale quintet kept UP its good
work in the second period, but the
Princeton men overlook them twice.
The visitors could not obtain a lead,
however. Just as the game was com
ing to an end, Kinney was given a
free try at a goal because Of a Prince
ton foul; he made the shot, giving
Yale the lead by a score OF 10 to 1s,
As the final whistle sounded q, foul
was called on Yale, but Haas missed
the try and Princeton's chance to win
was gone.

century covered by these scattered
records. Record baIkline was first
played in 1888, when Maurice Wig
naux, the Frenchman, made a record
run of 246 at 1872 in Chicago. Three
cushion carron, which has lately be-
come very popular in spite of the op-
position of the defenders of 1egiti-
mate billiards, was introduced at Chi
cago forty years ago. The French
carrom game with it's American varia-
tfons has long held the lead in the
hearts of American biIliardists, al
though the English game, with it's
monstrous tables, has been rapidly
gaining in popularity since Melbourne
Inman's visit.
Billiards had about as many Amer

there was the famous Phe1an place,

Walker had "a twenty-tab1e room in
New Orleans which was famous all
over the South. The Mussey room IN
Chicago, the Davis place in Pitts
burgh, and many others were almost
equally well known.

claim to be the birthplace of billiards

Ancient Sport of
Billiards Has Undergone
Many Changes

Half a century ago to-day. John
Roberts, then the billiard champion
of England, arrived in New York to
begin his memorable series of match
es with the best American cue sharps
of the day.
The next few days offer several 9TH
err interesting anniversaries showing
the development of the most popular
of indoor pastimes. On Jan. %,
1869, Joseph Dion defeated Melvin
Foster in four-bau match for $4,000
in Montreal. On Jan. 27, 1876, just
forty years ago tomorrow, the late
William Sexton defeated George F.
Slosson by 500 to 432 at three-ball
billiards in New York. In 1885,
thirty-one years ago to-day, the late
Jacob Schaefer defeated Slosson, 500
to Tie, in a 12-inch balk line billiard
match for $1,000, played in Chicago.

FIGHT PROMOTERS MUST POST
BIC BOND TO PROTECT FANS
Police Board Makes New Rule-East End A. c..
Gets Permit.

One of the first new plans Of pro-
cedure to be followed by the new po
lice board was put into effect last
night at an informal meeting Of
President John C. Stanley of the po-
lice board, superintendent Eugene
Birmingham and Clerk Clayton L.
Smith, when a new set of rules and
regulations to govern boxing contests
was adopted and the clerk ordered to
see that they were enforced.
One of the new features is the
posting of forfeits for each bout and
should the money be declared forfeit
ed it shall be given to charity and
not to the Police Sick Benefit fund
as heretofore. Under the regime of
the former police board promoters
were only made to post fofeit of
$500 to insure the patrons of the
boxing game that the fights would be
on the level and should the bond be
declared forfeited by the police COM
mission the money would revert to the
Police Sick Benefit fund.
Hereafter promoters will have to
post a bond of $500 with Superinten-
dent Eugene Birmingham before the
permit is issued. Bonds Of 5000
for the semi-fna1 and $50 for all pre-
ceeding pre1iminaries- Should there
be two preliminaries forfeits amount
ing to 500 must be posted. Bonds
for the star bout, semi-f1na1 and pre-
Lminaries must be placed in the hands
of reliable newspaperman before the
written permit is issued. A newspa-
perman affiliated in any way with the
card cannot hold the forfeits.
Promoters must furnish these
bonds and it is left in their hands to

a@= z@9 LATEST TIDINGS FROM SHORTHAND
BROOKLYN TO
CRAB ROUSCH,
OUTFIELD STAR

Pittsburgh, Jan 26-Accord8ng to
information obtained at the Pitts
burgh National baseball headquar-
tiers yesterday the Brooklyn club
stands the best chance of landing Ed
Rousch, star outfe1der of the Newark
Federals, and much sought by all
major league clubs. Charlie Ebbets
is said to have the inside track just
now, and as he realizes that he must
have at least one more outfelder OF
real class to make the Dodgers a
formidable aggregation he is bidding
pretty high for the Federal star.
Barney Dreyfuss is sore over the
way in which his bids for Federal
Leaguers are being handled He
complains that there appears to be
no inclination to do any business with
him. Barney is in the market for
Rousch. The Boston and New York
Nationals are also in the field.
OF the men desired by the Pitts
burgh club, Kaun was one, Rousch
may be another, and it is believed
that the remaining two are now the
property of the Cubs.
Colonel Barney isn't certain that
Inf1elder Joe Schultz is the property
of the Pittsburgh club. The former
Dodger wasn't wanted by Tinker and
waivers were asked on him. Pitts
burgh entered a claim but assyet moth
ing has been heard from league head
quarters The news that Schultz had
become the property of the Pirates
was given out in Chicago and Drey-
fuss fails to see where Tinker or
Weeghman could get the Information
quicker than could officials Of the
local club
