DAbhEI WINS last
GAME FROM HUDSON

Game From Opponent. Cap
lures Tournament.

With whirlwind ., ~.ever shots,
ssrety plays, runs. and whatnots. the
undefeatable Dabney f10a) finished IN
tho long tournament at the St Elmo
billiard parlora. and added another
victory to his already long list, by de-
feating Hudson 1850 by score OF 100
to r.
The game started on favorabLy for
HUDSON, who seemed TO be In good
FORM and II looked as II he would
break Dabney's long winning streak
by winning the last game played. but
the game had only started good when
Dabney began to shoot from them on.
he seemed to have Hudson hypnotized
and as in his other cases, he made a
complete walkover on his opponent.
Truly Dabney handles wicked cue.
He played eight games during the
tournament and had the distinction OF
winning every one of them. Messrs.
Fiaecomio and Mcfarland. managers of
the st. Elmo. and promoters of the
tournament. had the schedule ar
ranged so that each player, during the
length of tho tournament. would play
avery other player in the match, so
Dabney showed that he was the best
player in the bunch by defeating them
all.
This tournament Is the first of it's
kind held in Richmond for a long time.
and 1t proved ITO be popular with the
sporting fans of Richmond. who were
on hand in large numbers to witness
each game played, and II has been hint
ed by the managers that there would
be another. and better tournament
played at the ST. Elmo after the holt
days. in which probably a medal would
be offered to the best amateur player
in the city. If a medal is offered ii
will be under the terms that the win
ner would have to defend his title as
champion in three successive match
games. There are several good play
ers in the city and a tournament fea-
turing four or five OF the" best play
ers should prove interesting to local
followers of the worries
Five prizes were offered, all In rner-
chandise. besides a box OF cigars to
the player who made the high run. and
the winners were az follow s: pahneN.
first prize. $40; Lewis, second prize
81: Cole. third prize. So Jackson.
fourth prize. So Herbert, NTH prize

fered by Charlie" F'laccomio. for the
high run was won by Dabney who
ran forty-two balls. Only forty-one
balls were marked UP by the referee
at the time, but 1t developed later that
pabney was entitled TO another ball

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and only
effective remedy for bad I'D. sore
throat, influenza or la grippe is what
he calls "a brisk calomel purge" which
means big dose Of calomel At bed
time. But as the old style calomel
has some verx~unpleasant and danger.
ous qualities physicians and druggists
are now recommending the improved
nausealess cAlomei. called "Calotabs,"
which is purified and refined from the
sickenfng and dangerous effects and
whose medicinal virtues are vastly i'm
proved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with q swallow Of water---that's
all. No salts. no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet,
pleasures or work. Next morning your
cold has vahished and your entire
system 10 Ourtfed and refreshed.
Caiotabs are sold only in original

egg in the face" said Mrs. Vincent
astor. wife or ono OF the richest men
in America, in describing some of
ii,er personal experiences while doing
canteen work among the dougboys
near the ffghting front in France.
Egg frying was hard job for
me- she said
Il never did become expert. Two
eggs satisfied most OF the men for a
meal, but some wanted half a dozen.
They would bring them In sometimes
and ask us to cook. We wouIdn't
ask where they came from" she said
with a smile Another thing the
men always wanted was ice cream
some of them asked for it the first
thing in the morning Lemon
merinsue and apple pies were almost
as popular
Il believe The hardest work l ever
did was unloading a truck Mrs.
Ethel Hartman Russell and | did
that together. There were bags Of
sugar and all sorts Of things. l re-

But we never felt that anything was

times we got tips usually about a

CONFERENCE 4 FAILURE.
UNLESS LEAGUE. FORMED

Paris Dec 20.---The French press
continues to reprint from conserva-
tive British newspaper New York
cable dispatches repeating the allega-
ton that the American senate disap-
proves Of President wilson's peace
programme and indicat ting the forma
ton OF a concerted conservative CO.
aiition against the President hecom-
ing daily more ou,spoken.
Concerning French conservative
views. Paul Member. radical mem
her of the chamber OF deputies.
writes:
There lies an abyss between the
conceptions or Senator Leon Bour-
seois. probable peace delegate from
France: Louis Barthon former pre-
mier, and Senator Lascayes. on the
one hand and the noble program Of
theA American president on the other.
NJ. Bourgeois and his associates de-
sire that league of nations be
formed after the peace treaty and
that it be primarily limited to the
present allies.
This is also the idea OF President
poincare, as was indicated by his
boast to President Wilson.
This means resumption of the
system OF alliances in an enlarged
and reinforced form.
Wilson. on The other hand. wants
a league of nations definitely consti-
tuted through the peace treaty itself,
including all nations without excep-
iion.
unless such a league is consti-
tuted, the peace conference will be a
monstrous failure and the peoples
will have vainly endured the frightful
butchery.
Resistance to President Wilson's
program is taking a sally more des-
perate in character. The worst i'm
periaIMt theories are mounted against
him here as we'll as in other allied
countries. Here in France. the
Nationalist military party demands
the whole left bank OF the Rhine and
also a slice OF the right bank, while
Belgium is advised by military writ
ers TO annex Luxembourg and por-
lions of Dutch territory.
The foreign affairs committee Of
the French senate has reported that
II is pursuing the examination Of
questions which might arise concern
ing the left bank Of the Rhine and
the Rhine ITSELF
