feet from the table. For success in "cracker" pool demands a table rattling shot which will make the balls run round and round until they drop int othe pockets from sheer weariness. Naturally, with such severe stroking the cue ball of- ten takes off on a solo flight.
 To a man raised on such a game, the amateur three-cushion cham pionship was revelation. Here was Subtlety of touch and timing at it's best. And the equipment was as different from the old as wine is from water. Even the chalk was scented. Never having played three cushion billiards, 1t was arranged for Herr Tiedtke of Germany to give me lesson. We ran into diff culties from the first. To start with, he didn't speak any English, and as my German is limited to kaiser, "Hindenburg," and "hofbrau", we were forced to fall back on the arm waving or semaphore type of talking. And this is very dangerous when both parties are holding cue sticks in their hands. After I had cracked him on hte head three times while inquiring if he'd join me in a beer following the lesson, he turned me over to M. LaGache of France, the defending champion. M. Legache didn't speak English either, 50 I decided to stick tothe old game of cracker. It's lot of exercise, any way.

 HARNESS RACES
Kentucky Futurity Worth $14,OOO in Finale of
 Grand Circuit

Lexington, Ky, April 13-tSpe- ciaD-Sporting a group of the old est harness horse stakes in the country, the swansong of the 1886 Grand circuit, to held here in the heart of the Blue Grass Sept. 26- Oct. 3, will present a $50,000 pro- gram, including the $14,000 Ken lucky Futurity.
 The two divisions of the Kentucky Futurity, for two and three-year-old trotters, already have closed with strong entries of juvenile and Ham, bletonian- aged colts. Rosalind, Ruth M Mac, Ed Lasater, Rosette, Recovery, and other three-year-olds, soon to arrive in Lexington from Florida for last-minute brushing ups preparatory to ,the opening of the Grand Circuit, are stars of the senior Futurity.
 Eleven other events, including the Pennsylvania, 1000 free-for all trot, which will see Greyhound strut his stuff as four-year-old, will close April 20, according to Henry H. Knight, president of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders association. Rivals of the great gelding owned by E. J. Baker, St. Charles, H., in the Pennsylvania, oldest American race for mature trotters, are expect cd to include Evelyn, 200; Bertha c. Hanover, 2:02 1-2; Lawrence Han over, 200 3-4, who won the 1885 Kentucky Futurity here; Angel Child, 200 3-4, and Tara, 200.
 Keen historic interest is linked with Lexington's annual trots. One of the oldest events raced annually is the Kentucky Stake, for three year-old trotters, which usually in- cludes several colts which have dis tinguished themselves earlier in the Hambletonian at Goshen. The Lex ington Stake, for juvenile trotters, is being renewed this fall for the sixtieth time, while the Kentucky is in its fifty eighth season.
 The two and three-year-old divi- sions of the Kentucky Futurity, which stand as high as the thor oughbred Kentucky Derby in the hearts of Blue Grass sportsmen, will have their forty-fourth renewals in September. The Walnut Hall Cup, IA trot, for which trophy given by Dr. and Mrs. Ogden M. Edwards, Jr., masters of Walnut Hall Farm, is presented annually is being seen again this Fall for the thirty-ninth time.
 Other colorful, famous old stakes which climax the Grand circuit are the Castlton, 18 trot. named after the standardized nursery of that name, owned by David M. Look, of New York, Almahurst, free-for-all pace, named after the farm owned by Henry H. Knight, of Chicago: the Reynolds, IA pace. which gets it's name from Will N. Reynolds.

The pool hall enjoyed the same social rating as the burlesque house, and was definitely place you told mama you hadn't been.

 Boston, April 13-The city base ball championship rested today not with the $4,0O0,000 Boston Red Sox but with their $400000 National league neighbors, the Boston Bees
 The reorganized Bees displayed fine desregard for selections. rep- utations and about everything else as they humbled their pennant- minded rivals to 4 before 6500 shivering fans at Fenway park yse- terday.
 Contributions to the Bees clear cut victory was the fact that Man ager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox used succession of rookie pitch ers-Manuel Salvo, Jim Henry, Lee Rogers and Stuart Bowers--while Boss Bill McKechnie of the Bees used the veterans Danny MacFey- den and Ray Benge and only one rookie, Jim Chaplin.
 Moore Homer
 Gene Moore, fleet new Bees right fielder and first man up in the first inning, teed off for 8 home run on Salvo'sO second pitch and there after 1t was the Bees all the way, with Moore, Tony Cuccinello, Bill Urbanski and Al Lopez leading the attack. Twelve passes also helped along the bases cause, Henry walk ing five men in the fifth inning to add two runs to the National leaguers' total.
 Wcrber in OutReld
 Featuring the sporty Red Box attack was the erstwhile bad boy, Bill Werber, surprise starter in right field. Wcrber, whose sore toe and sulkiness seemed to have heal ed at one and the same time, rap- ped out a double and two singles his first three times at bat to win a place in the lineup which will open the regular season against the Philadelphia Athletics here tomor- row.
 Manager Cronin explained Wer- ber's selection by saying that he wanted all the right handed bats men possible in the Sox lineup at Fenway, with it's short left field. So, with the infield of Foxx-Mel- ilo-Cronin-McNair working harmo- niously Werber, 8 natural ballhawk, shifts to the outfield with Mel AL mada, left-handed hitter, tenn porarily benched.
