MANY BILLIARD PLAYERS.

baseball is known as America S ma
tional game. Millions are interested
in it, read it and go to see it, In
number Of actual players, though, bill
lizards is giving it hot battle, if not
even SURPRISING it. writes S. e. Bar
clay inthe New York Sun. Hearken
to John r. Doyle, billiard imDresario
and considerable statistician, who has
reams OF data ready to spin off as
fast as the mind can comprehend.
"There are approximately 100000
billiard players in Greater New York
and 100000 Of them in this coun-
try" said Doyle. 1t was in the little
Office of his establishment on Forty
second street. Doyle reached for a
pencil and a small pad Of note paper.
He began to jot down numbers as
rapidly as he can write.
"The only sports that New Workers
participate in to a large extent be-
sides billiards are golf and tennis
he resumed. 1T is hard to get at the
exact number of tennis players, but
golf is easy to estimate. There are
100 courses within 40 miles of B'road-
way, with membership averaging 400
in each. That makes a total Of 49,
900. The public links have about 49,
900 additional, with 5000 licenses
out, and about 1000 others who pay
the daily fee. Thus there are about
$4,000 golfers in and about New
York.
WEFERs HAS GOOD RECORD.
Bernie Wefers, who retires as
coach of the Columbia track team in
June to go to Fordham has had re-
markable record in the nine years in
which he has been training the Blue
and White athletes.
His greatest pupils, perhaps, were
Harry Babcock, winner of the Olym
pic pole vault championship in 1912
and Russell Beatty, who holds the in
tercollegiate record in the shot put
In addition to these stars, Wefers, in
almost decade on Morningside
Heights, has turned out a fine string
of athletes from the meagre material
that came to his hands.
Babcock was the greatest all-round
performer he developed. His versa
tility is attested by the fact that in
the four years in which he competed
in the intercollegiate championships
he scored in the high jump, the broad
jump and the pole vault. He set q
new pole vault record in 1912, when
he cleared II feet 8 rs inches, and in

PANAMA CANAL RECORD
 BROKEN IN TRENCHES

WASHINGTON: While the gov ernment of the United States is la menting the delay that has been caus-
 ed by slides in the Panama Canal, of- ficials of the state department, have
 received through the French embas- |sy some startling statistics calculat- ling the amount of soil that has been moved in the work of trench making. There are about 500 miles of first line trenches all the way from the North |Sea to Switzerland. And there are live or six lines of trenches on each iside. A total of ten lines of trenches on the two sides would give length about 5000 miles and this, says the |statistician, has involved a task of excavation twice as great as that of the Panama Canal. And it has been done by hand labor and with military shovels, while much of it has been
 done under fire and by men who have to work while lying on their chests. l-Ex.

 SEWARD MEETING
Session of Territorial Committee Goes Over Until February to
 Get New Rules.

The meeting of the Republican ter ritorial committee has been postpon- ed from January 27 until the arrival of the steamer Evans in Seward early in February. A message from Chair man Chas. B. Heron to p. B. Ritchie today states the postponement as fol- lows:
 "Have wired Whittemore to call
 meeting on 27th and note an ad-
 journment until arrival of steamer
 Evans about February 5, on &C.,
 count of delay in receiving new
 rules promulgated by national com
 mittee at Washington, December
 seventh"
 AS the steamer Evans will not reach Seattle before January 2S, she will not sail from that port in time to reach Seward February 5, but the statement made in the message indi- cates that she will sail as soon as she can get ready for her return tYip.
 The latest information regarding the Republican territorial convention is that it may not be held until April. It is reported from Seattle that some of the politicians consider March too early. That was the time first sug- gested by Chairman Heron. The Valdez Republican club week ago recommended a date between April 10 and April 20 as the most fitting time.

DIAMOND SMUGGLING
 GAME WAS WIPED

NEW YORK: The confiscation by a British cruiser of parcel post package containing $480,000 in con- cealed diamonds, on board a boat bound from Rotterdam to Copenha- gen has ended a scheme which has allowed s5,000,000 worth of dia- monds to be smuggled into the Uni ted States from Antwerp by parcel post. Parcels which usually were mailed at Amsterdam went to Rotter- dam, thence to Copenhagen, and placed on a boat for the United States. Prosperity in America has caused heavy demand for diamonds so that those smuggled into this country have not affected the mar ket. In a recent week importations of precious stones from Amsterdam and London at New York were thirty times what they were in the same week year ago.

H. w. Fisk, who spent seven years on the coast of Alaska, has written to the Fairbanks Chamber of Com merce that he is building fatbottom boat to ply. on the shallow rivers of the interior. The boat will be equipped with an entirely new mod ell of stern wheel which he has tn- vented. The paddles are five and one-half feet long, twelve inches wide. They travel around their course in vertical position. In other words they strike the water edgewise, trav- ell straight back and come out of the water edgewise and are pushing all the time they are in the water. The builder believes that his boat, 45 feet overall with ten feet beam, can be operated in twelve inches of water, carrying from six to eight tons.

DRY WAVE AS CREST

LOUISVILLE: "The prohibition wave, like any other wave, must top president, in making his report at the annual meeting of the National Model License League.
 "The crest was reached when a genuine prohibition bill became oper- ative in Arizona this year. As soon as the effect of this drastic measure began to be felt the units of the pro- hibition wave began falling over each other in wild effort to get back to normal conditions. The history of the prohibition wave that rose so high and fell so far in 1855 Is about to be repeated"

SEWARD MAN HAS
 DETAINED JUDGE
Know Are Untrue.

The Seward Gateway states that the people of that town are indignant lover the utterances of Councilman Borgen of Seward, who declared at a recent meeting of the council, that Judge Fred M. Brown had been in- fluenced in his decision in the recent dock case tried before him here.
 The Seward councilman is report ed to have declared that Brown gave that decision because he was stock holder in the wharf and you bet his decision will be reversed" The amaz- ling assertion was made during dis cussion in the council meeting over the right of the municipal authoci ties of Alaska coast towns to grant wharf franchises.
 The Gateway states that Mayor Myers, of Cordova, was not present when the assertion against Judge Brown was made or in all probability the councilman would have been re- quired to retract the statement.
 Judge Fred M. Browns connection with the Valdez Dock is too we'll known by the residents of Valdez to require reiteration. They know tha: he was one of the enterprising pio- 1eers of this town who spent their money to provide facilities for lad ling passengers and freight from the steamers in order that others might be induced to come here and help build the town. Judge Brown, it was shown during the trial, in which he rendered the decision to which the Seward councilman objects, has long since severed his connection with the enterprise and in rendering his deci sion in the case was guided only by the precedents in law governing the rights of municipalities to extend tur- isdictior over the waterfronts.
 Judge Brown is tt present on his vacation to the states and 1t is not known if he would take any action against his defamer if he were here but his many Valdez friends resent the imputation that in rendering his decision in the case that he was in.
 luenced in any way. Aside from his judi."a; duties Judge Brown has shown that he is always ready to sac !rifice his personal interests fer the
 benefit "f the community.
