aad 123.
CHICAGO, March J6. Calvin Demaresi of
Chlrago gave another exhibition of ater
ling 14.1 balk line billiards last night, when he
defeated C. F. Conklln of Chicago 4CO to
231 In the first game of the series to decide
the triple tie which resulted In the na
tional amateur tournament, which closed
last night. Demarest finished his atrlng
In fourten Innings, scoring rura of 125 and
122, and averaging; 28 8-14. Conklln, too
played at top speed, but- was fairly out
classed.
Demarest waa not In stroke early In the
Innings and Conklln gained a considerable
lead. At the end of the seventh Inning he
was sixty-nine points ahead, the early
play showing both men playing' a free and
open game. Demarest got the balls rolling
right In his next try, however, and, aided
by fine masse shot on the upper rail,
held them together. So precise was his
stroke and go exact his Judgment of speed
that only five times was he forced to drive
down the table for position, and each
time tho shot was a success. At 126, how
ever, a corner bank shot slipped off, leav
ing the balls In position for Conklln. The
latter ran thirty and made twenty more
Jn his next and was within eight points
of the champion. Demarest then put In
his second high run, counting 122 by per
fect' billiards, In which long periods of
nursing were followed by sparkling round
the table shots Another slip stopped him.
Play U Brilliant. -
Demarest showed some brilliant masses
d
and Conklln some fine open table work.
In his last inning, Demarest gave tip his
careful play and drove the balls from end
to end of the table a dozen times In suc
cession. Owing to the Illness of H. A.
Wright of San Francisco, the match
scheduled for tomorrow night has been
postponed until Thursday. Conklln will
meet the Pacific coast expeit that night.
Score:
Demarest-1, 20, 2, 1, 8, 0, IS, 126, 2, 122.

LOFTUS HEADS THREE-I LEAGUE
Dnbaqee Man Elected After Wrangle
Lasting Eight Hears.
CHICAGO, March 25. Thomas Loftus of
Dubuque, la, waa elected president of the
Three-I base ball league at the end of a
atormy meeting that lasted eight hours and
all but disrupted the league. The meeting
was called by President Ed Holland of
Bloomington and he fulfilled the promise,
which he made when re-elected at the
meeting held here last month by resigning
the. presidency. Holland agreed at that
time to step down aa soon as the trouble
with the Dubuque club had been adjusted.
Immediately after the meeting waa called
to order this morning Holland tendered his
resignation. The nomination of M. H. Sex
ton of Rock Island and Frank Kox of
Peoria waa the signal for the opening of the
fray. Ballot after ballot resulted tn four
votes being cast for each candidate. Con
ferences among representatives of the
several clubs were unavailing. Charges of
broken faith and unprofessional conduct
were bandied and until late in the after
noon the deadlock continued. Then truce
waa proclaimed by Holland and a proposi
tion waa agreed to that an Informal ballot
should be taken, every member voting his
personal choice. This ballot resulted:
Sexton, 4; Holland, 1; Pox, 1; McOurln, 1;
O'Nell. 1. Loftus waa suggested on the
next Informal ballot by Hartzell of Peoria.
Loftus received two votes. Sexton three,
and Bering, McGurin and Fox one each.

WILL IOWA COLORS STAY t'Pf
If Gotrh'and Burns Wla Ilankrye
State Will Have Botb Cbamp.
Should Reell throw Farmer Burns In their
match at the Auditorium Tuesday night he
will be light heavyweight champion of the
world Instead of Bums, who gained that
honor when he'thtew Beell In their former
match. If Buis wins again and cinches
his title, and Gotch defeats Hackenschmldt,
as Gotch saya he certainly will, two Iowa
men will tour the east, one the world'a
heavyweight champion, and the other the
world's lightweight champion wrestler.
Won't that be a pair to draw to?
If there Is anything In training, certainly
Gotch and Burns ought to get it, for they
are both grueling each other aa strenuously
as they can over at Chicago, aa Gotch
anys, "In anticipation of both matches."
Beell Is putting In good licks In Omaha
with Emll Klank, his partner, who weighs
about 190 and sometimes 200 and Is a faat
man. Klank la capable of giving Beell
ample, practice.
The fans who see this next Burns-Beell
match undoubtedly will see the fastest and
most furious wrestle game they ever saw.
Fred Beell says he simply cannot lose and
Burna la couallv determined, each man
fully cognizant of the other's phenomenal
skiii ana speed.
Much specuation was Indulged In at the
last match as to the relative speed and
atrenpth of Burns and Beell. The man
who at the end of the match could draw a
line between them had aomethlng on his
noxt door neighbor as a Judge, for they
proved to be as evenly matched as It
was possible. Wrestlers who have met
both men think Burna a little stronger and
aa quick, but no quicker, while Beell per
haps has the edge on the old man a little
In endurance. Burna admitted at the end
of their former match that he was very
urea, wniie Been said he didn't feel that
he waa more than usually tired and his
wind was good. Beell confessed that the
woollng . In which they engaged ao ex
tensively, the standing work In attempts
to secure the rear, .wore on him and-It
was natural that It should, aa the Farm
er s sunerlor height sln.Dlv meant one
thing, namely, that Ecell had .to lug the
weigm 01 rus adversary arouna tne ring.
The demand for seats at the Auditorium,
Manager Glllan says, never was as brisk
for a wrestling match as It Is for the
coming BurnB-Beell match. Even before
It was known the match could be arranged
he had orders for seats.
Paternal Consent Falls Golfere.
NEW YORK. March 25. There will be no
foreign Invasion by an Intercollegiate rolf
association team during the coming season.
This has been reluctantly admitted by the
collegians, but only after weeks of persist
ent effort. The real hazard In the way la
the failure of four of the golfers to secure
the necessary paternal consent. They are
H. II. Wilder of Harvard, president of the
Intercollegiate Golf association: Robert
Abbott, of Yale; Ralph Petera, Jr.. of
Princeton, and W. Fellowes Morgan, Jr.,
of Harvard.
Without these four, who are amon the
foremost player In the association, It Is
considered that any attempt to gather to
gether a representative team would be next
to useless. Ellis Knowles, of Yale, the In
tercollegiate champion, and W. T. W est of
Princeton, may go abroad, but they will
play aa Individuals.

It seems to me clear that it Is the duty

specifications and further that these plans
and specifications aa by the city engineer
prepared should be aubmltted to your
honorable body for your approval, and that
this should be done before bids are adver
tised for by the city clerk. ,..
The engineer thereupon aent the council
a copy of the specifications, which he
stated were for the council's "Information
and perusal." As the council wants the
originals and not the copy and also as It
wants to "approve," them and not 'peruse"
them, the copy was returned.
Councilman Zimman thereupon presented
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved, that the city attorney be au
thorized to make demand on the city en
gineer that he submit the original plana
and apeciflcatlona for construction of slde

OLD MAN BURNED TO DEATH
"Grandpa" Frost Loses Hie Life la
Boardlnat House In East
Omaha.
A the result of a fire wlitch com
pletely destroyed the boarding house con
ducted by John Beever-at Twenty-first
and J streets, Kast Omaha, about
o'clock Tueaday night, Simpson F. Frost,
known as vorandpa" Frost, employed by
the Omaha Wagon worka of East Omaha
and one of the boarder In the burned
house, lost hie life.
From the story told by a number of
the boarders, several of them were play
ing cards tn the dining room when a
kerosene lamp In the kitchen adjoining
exploded. Instantly the rear end of th
building, a two-story frame, waa In
flames. Many of those In the house ran
outside to give an alarm, but a few ot
them hastened upstairs In an endeavor
to aave their clothing and valuablea. II
la supposed that Frost alao went upstairs
and was overcome with the smoke and
waa unable to reach the outside.
Hla absence waa not noted until th
building waa a roaring furnace. After
the flames had been extinguished the old
man's badly burned remains were found.
Coroner Davla learned the man's name to
be Simpson F. Frost, his age 64 years. Hla
son, Lanney Frost, lives at 1810 Davenport
street and his divorced wife and two
daughters live In Oskalooaa, la., and an
other daughter, Mrs. W. B. Wolfe, Uvea In
Ranchester, Wyo. The body will be taken
to Oskaloosa for burial. The coroner will
