N E W YORK, Miiy U-Il 11 Indec d t fart
that news travels fast. It was not long ago
that lit t lo Ad Wolga't. the Milwaukee
boxer, who prides himself on being the
world's champion lightweight, stated that
he was not going to fight until he had a
good long re.'t. Wolgast may be a good
little fighter, according lo Freddie Wchh
of Pontypridd, Wales, but there la one bet
ter. Very modestly it Is addJ that the1
best lightwelght-1" this :me Welsh.
Freddie, in some way or otacr, got wind
of the news that Wolgait means to nay out
of the ring for a while, nut the Milwaukee
man will not be allowed to follow out his
plan if Welsh has anything to ay In the
matter. The truth of It is that Welsh con
templates cancelling his fight with Paekey
McFtirland. scheduled to be fought in I.on
don auon, and Instead will come to thla
country In an endeavor to got a match with
the lightweight champion. Over In the old
world Freddie bas some reputation as a mlt
wielder. An odd fact about him Is that he
is s vegelarimi. He claims this helped liim
lo win the F.nglish lightweight champion
ship, which he now holds.
Now, Welsh is not the only person Inter
ested in the match. Out on t'ue Pacific
coast there Is a man who would like very
much to see these two little lightweights
placed together In a roped and squared
arena. And he Is no other than Pld Hester,
the San Francisco fight promoter. Accord
ing to word received here In local pugilistic
circles, Hester is so anxious to match up
the two lightweights that lie has offered a.
purse of $13,000, along with several minor
offers. Welsh Is only too anxious to come
here again to show American fight fans
that he Is something of a fighter and prove
that all the "news" his press agent has sent
nut about his championship prowess Is
leally true.
Wanted to leet elaon.
When tho light-haired Dane. Battling
Nelson known to ring followers as the
"former champion," . held the title, Welsh
wanted to come. to this country to meet
Nelson for the world's championship. Nel
son, however, never took Welsh seriously
and a match was not arranged. Thos who
have seen both men In action declare that
Welsh was a capable opponent and that hs
was no mean fighter. So now Welsh says
he will give Wolgast the chance to turn
him down.
Whether Wolgast will consider the allur
ing putse Hester Is said to have offered
Is not known. Wolgast not long ago said
that he wishes to take things easy for
awhile, now that he has .become the cham
pion. Ad Is spending his time doing vaude
ville stunts out west telling his audiences
how he put one over on the Battler. And
not slighting the latter. It might ba well
to slate that Oscar Matthew Battling
Nelson Is spending his time In the same
way only ho tells those assembled "Just
how It happened."
Reports from the west also state that
elite Wolgast has becom champion he
moans to do a little dictating as well as
tne oiners. Kecently he was quoted as
saying that he would r.ot go Into the ring
tiriess a S.J0.000 purse was hung tip. He
In said to have stated that for this amount
he would fight anyone who wishes to sign
up with him for a fcrty-flve-rcund con-
test. However, it Is thought .that Ad will
think twice before he passes by that offei
Of Hester's. ...
If these two men could be matched It Is
safe to state that, the battle would draw
s big crowd. Hester said that he would
alage It a week or so before or after the
Mg fight at Emeryville. At that time
there will be a record breaking crowd to
draw from. There will be thousands of
out-of-town persons In San Francisco nl
thla time who would not miss the oppor
tunity of witnessing a title lightweight
championship bout, and it Is thought that
the gate receipts would be ma large, if not
larger, than those which have character.
Ir.ed previous fights In the lightweight divi
sion. Many fans declare that the battl
would draw even a greater crowd than did
tin Nelson-Gana battle.
SAVE HORSE BREEDING
INDUSTRY FROM RUIN
Atw Organisation Formed it
(irk for Thla Par
noae. NEW YORK. May 14. In announcing the
formation of the new -organisation to be
known as th'w "Notv Voik Trotting Horse
Bleeders' atsoiialion," horsemen and prom
inent breeders In charge of the matter call
sp&clal attention of all citizens of the em
pire stale, members of the New York state
grange, and farmers In general to the fact
that; under' existing conditions something
must be done, and done ifultk, In order to
-dvu.tlis great horse breeding industry from
.tiolng into total ruination.
1 is also nated that the taking up of
grand circuit dates for a big harness meet
ing at F.mplre City track next August, the
chief aim of the backers is to encourage
speed contests as the only means through
which the quality of the state's and coun
try's hore stock can be Improved and their
teal merit actua'.iy tested.' '
Part of the circular sent out to those
who have not yet subscribed their jjames
to the lint as members of the new as
sociation lend as follows: V
"All signs point to the fact that there Is
going to bo a tremendous demand for trot-
tlng-brcd horses In the near future, from
til sections of the globe, especially from
New Zealand, Australia and several coun
tiles of iSouth America, to say nothing of
Europe, which took more trotters from
this country last year than for the three
previous years combined.
"This great prospect for a demand for
our Hot ting-bred horses is assured to a
certainty, and the breeders of New York
state, who own the largest and mojt prom
inent stock farms of the country, might
Jum aa well have their share of the harvest
as the breeders of Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois
or any other elate."
The Hat of membership now contains
kit sven dozen names, who alto stsnd aa
patrons and backers of the coming giand
lii cult meeting , as the first step for the
ptoposed association, and who have al
ready subscribed SCO0 esch to safeguard the
meeting against any possible loss.
After the association Is fully organised
a. course of action will be planned, and the

Canadians to
Compete for
English Prize
Colonist! Plan to Give Johnnj Bull
Run for Diamond Skulls at
Beyatta.
TORONTO. May II. It IS a possibility
that three Canadian oarsmen will compete
for tho diamond sculls, which Is one of the
feature events of this year's Henley regatta
in England. Iou Scholes and James Cos
grave are already in training for the event
and now comes the announcement that
O'Nell, the Halirax oarsman, may also com
pete. O'Nell won the American amateur
sculling championship at lctrolt lat year.
Both Scholes and Cosgrave have started
out lo prepare themselves for a gruelling
race. In which they will compete for the
world's premier sculling title. Cosgrave
has a new Sims shell, which he will' use
at Henley In July t Is made of Spanish
cedar, weighs twenty-three and a half
pounds and is four and a half Inches deep
In the bow. At the stern It measures three
and a half Inches and has a hip of five
and a half Inches. Its length measures
twenty-five feet. Cosgrave says he Is
pleased with the lines of the boat and
thinks that he will be able to make better
time in it than I:) the oid Clasper shell
which he used last season. v
Iou Scholes expects to win the title sgaln
this year. Since he has gone into light
training he rays that ho feels fit and that
when he gets down to real hard work on
the liver he will surprise the rowing world.
Scholen has captured the event before and
he knows how to train for It. His boat Is
similar to the one owned by Cosgrave. The
only difference between the two is that
Cosgrave's shell Is a bit beamier, due to
the difference in weight of tho men who
will row them.
If O'Nell decides to enter the diamond
sculls, Canada certainly will be well rep
resented. Before tho throe leave for Eng
and, local rowing enthusiasts plan to ar
range a match between them. Whether
this plan will go through, however, Is a
matter -still to be, decided. The real cause
why tho promoters wish to get the men
into action before they go abroad is simply
to give rowing followers a chance to figure
out the Canadians' chances In capturing
the single sculling honor. . - . .
Mallet Headed
Putting Barred
Authorities of St. Andrews Put a
Ban on Queerly Shaped
Clubs.
NEW YORK, May 14.-ln Scotland the
baa has been placed on mallet-headed put
ters by the authorities of St. Andrew's and
ins move Is likely to make trouble. Many
or the best American playjj-s have taken
up the queeiiy-shaped clubs for work on
the green, Travis among them. If they
bow to the St. Andrew's ruling they will
Lhave to charge their style of putting, and
ii is certain mat many of them will balk.
Putting is one depaitment of the game. In
which the amateur compares favorably
with the professional, but there is a di
vergence of opinion whether the difference
In putting is due entirely to the difference
In the clubs. Many are Inclined to think
there is more in the man than there Is In
the club. Professionals are notoriously
earless in the matter of putting and have
lost hard-fought matches time and again
through slipshod work on the green.
This matter of barrhig implements re
calls the old trouble In the pole vault.
Almost anything qualified as a pole. An
English vaulter years ago appeared with
a pole shod with a spiked tripod., This he
stuck In the ground and climbed hand over
hand. His American opponent complained
of the practice, but finding nothing in the
rules to prevent borrowed a stepladd-r and
hopped over the bar at an unheard-of
height. The rulemskers promptly framed
a reasonable restriction and that ended
the trouble.
RACE FOR COBE CUP TO
BE AT INDIANAPOLIS
Change of Blsj Annaal , Competition
from Head to Track Event Coa '
' aide-red Slaalficaat.
The announcement that the Cobe 'cup
automobile race will be - held at the In
dianapolis speedway on July 4. reflects
the growing popularity, of motordromes In
this country, There are many motorists
who lament the transition of the middle
west's road race Into a rack conteat.
There Is a certain glamour about, a big
road contest that appeals to the ordinary
spectator. However, despite the fact that
the Chicago Automobile club has put road
speeding In the discard. In favor of the
track proposition, the middle west will not
be without an Important road race this
season. Plana are being completed rapidly,
for the Chicago Motor club's contest,
which will be held at Elgin.
To those In close touch with automobile
affairs the news that the Haosler speed
way had been chosen for the Cobe cup
contest did not ' occasion surprise. It was
known that the Chicago Automobile club
suffered a large deficit from the running
of the Cobe contest over the fowell-Crown
Point course last summer. The expenses
were great and the returns were all out of
proportion to counter-balance this. Con
sequently there remained but one thing
to do If the race was to be held again. A
course had to be selected where tha
financial returns would!1 be greater In com
parison to the expensca than those of tha
ill-starred Indiana venture In 1908.
During the last winter there was some
talk of building a speedway In Chicago for
the purpose of holding the Cobe cup and
other races. This project is still before
the Chicago Automobile club and, it Is
thought, will be carried out In time. It
is out of the question, however, to con
struct a motordrome at this late date in
time for the 1910 revi.-al of the Cobe cup
contest. Accordingly, Indianapolis was
taken' as a last resort.
The Hoosier course Is lucky In getting
tho Cobe race. The popularity of the
event wan attested to last summer when
thousands thronged -The Lowell-Crow n
Point taceway. That a big atlendanre will
feature Independence' day at the In
dianapolis speedway appears to be a fore
gone conclusion. Certain it is that a great
number of motorists will Journey rom
Chicago to wltnera the changed condition
of the Cobe race.

NEW YORK. May l.-.be Atlell and
Tommy Murphy, the local crack-a-jack
lightweight, are going to have it out again
in the aquared circle. They were matched
to meet for ten rounds at the stage of the
National Sporting club on May 29. Murphy

POINTS OF THE MOTOR CAR
Important Essentials for the Consid
eration of Purchasers.
SIZE, WEIGHT, POWER AND DRIVE
Expert
and
"tiprn on .tit Const rartloa
Operation Based oa Fa
rias tees of the N
Machine.
In choosing a motor car, as fit choosing
a horse, one must first make up one's
mind as lo the requirements to be met,
for the utility of different patterns of cars,
like that ofdlfferent breeds of horses, Is
to a certain extent limited, though In both
cases a fairly satisfactory compromise may
be arrived at. By different patterns of
cars I do not mean different bodies, for
on that score a purchaser who has never
seen a motor at close quarters can be de
pended 'on to know better than any one
can tell him what Is most suitable for
his purpose. With the Immense variety
to choose from nowadays limousine, semt
limouslne, landaulet, touring car, runabout,
etc. the finer distinctions are mostly a
matter of personal taste, and Interchange
able bodies for summer and winter, or
town and country, are always procurable.
The chief points then for the purchaser
to consider, whatever may be his require
ments, ore: Proportion of weight to steo,
horsepower, method of drive, method of
Ignition, gearing and certain broad lines
of engine construction.
Excessive weight is, above all things, to
be avoided; tires are by far the largest
Hem of expense In the upkeep of a motor
car; ana tne extra wear ana ie.nr.
on them means considerable and
superfluous expense. There is no
reason why any car should weigh nearly
4,000 pounds unless ll is Intended to carry
freight; the least weight consistent with
safety and rigidity is desirable.
Coaeeralag Horsepower.
Horsepower, on the other hand. Is quite
a different matter, and high rating is al
ways preferable to low, regardless of speed
requirements. One often hears a man say:
J. am no speed maniac; my car is chiefly
for town use, 'jjo I have no use for exces
sive horsepower." This is a natural but
fatal error, for it la especially for town use
that power is wanted. It Is well known that
the power of explosive engines Increases in
proportion to the .number of revolutions per
minute and mapy cars 'which will givo
forty horsepower at forty , miles an hour
will not show five at six miles per hour.
To explain this more fully, 1,500 revolu-J
tions per minute may be taken as the fair
average speed of a motor engine doing lis
best, and, 3C0 as the lowest speed likely to
be used on the high gear; the diminution
of power aa the number of revolutions di
minishes may be Judged by the following
figures taken from the specifications of
one of the most popular cars made In
America: At 1,500 revolutions per minute,
57.5 horsepower; at 1,000 revolutions, Zi.t
horsepower; at 800 revolutions, 30.7- horse
power; at 600 revolutions, 23 horsepower,
and at 300 ' revolutions. U.5 ' horsepower.
Unfortunately most cars show a much
greater diminution of revolutions per min
ute. It Is, therefore, most important that
the purchaser should know at what num
ber of revolutions per minute the car Is
rated. American rating means the power
developed at 1,500 revolutions per minute,
European at 600.
, In hill climbing, high power Is similarly
desirable; a car that will negotiate a long
climb, like, that of .the well known moun
tain pass named "Jacob's ladder," with
out coming down to the low gear will be In
a muchf better condition when It reaches
the top, both intrinsically and as regards
Overheating, than one that has to struggle
up at the expense of an increase of 30 per
cent or more In the number of revolutions
of the. engine involved In the use of the
low gear.
Drives and Geara. .
Of the two methods of drive, the cardan
shaft has increased .in popularity at the
expense of the chain-drive, chiefly on ac
count. pB lla nolselessness, and In all but the
largest cars, It has Justified Its position.
For heavy cars, however, .the c;iain-drlve
has undeniable advantages; It is stronger,
less liable .to damage, and, moreover, is
capable of repair on the road in case of a
breakdown, which a shaft-drive practically
never is, as failure generally means strip
ping of the pinion .shaft. .Another advan
tage of the chain is that the power may be
Increased of course, at the - sacrifice of
speed by changing the sue of the sprocket
wheels, so that on a long tour the ap
proach to 'a mountainous country may be
deprived of its terrors by having a couple
of spare aprocket-wheels of suitable s.ze
til ths kit to give the power required. These
are changed again upon entering a flat
country where speed is of more Importance
than abnormal power.
Gears on all but the smallest of run
abouts are-invariably of the sliding type.
Between the "progressive" In which the
gear-lever has but one movement, directly
backward and forward, and the "selective"
In which It runs In two connected slots,
and must be s ipped from one to 'the other
In changing, the choice is mostly a matter
of taste and habit; while the former ap
pears simpler to the novice, the latter Is a
general favorite with experts, and Is really
the easier to manipulate; but anyone, will
quickly become used to either. Many gears
are now made "fool-proof;" that Is, they
are arranged so as to make It almost Im
pofcslb e to slip in the reverse inadvertently
Instead of one of the forward gears. The
ratchet (progressive) gear lever, too. Is an
advantage to the novice, aa with It he can
notIeave his gears Imperfectly meshed and
therefore likely to slip out, ths Inevitable
result of which would be a "racing en
gine," and the probability of having to
slow down and start on a lower gear.
Methods of Igattloa.
lietween the two methods of ignition."
Jump-spark and make-and-break, there is
very little lo choose; while the latter is krs
liable to functional dlsordera it is also Ioa
easy of adjustment in case of failure, and
It Is susceptible, to wear and tear as the
action la mechanical. 1 would accept either
method with equanimity . In a car that
suited me In other respects. .
Generation of the electric current for Ig
nition., is effected In three ways, by dry
cells, by storage battel It s tor . acc umuia,-
torn), and by magnetos, the last being the
latest method. The disadvantages of each
ar that cells wear out, accumulators, re
quire recharging, and magnetos give a
spark tjte Intensity of which is in direct
alio to tha speed 'With w hich they are
driven. In slow running, when the bst
spark Is required, the msgneto is at Its
worst; moreover, a car cannot he started
with a magneto without "spinning" tne
engine. ' With cells or accumulators It Is
theoretically, though, -jol a ways practi
cally, necessary lo turn tha engine only
far enough lo pass the Igniting point In the
d llnerr that is nearest compn sslon-polnt.
The fin-le-slecia method is to combine tha
magneto with elthvi cells or accumulators,
using the lattV to start tha car, and then
.witching on the magneto as oon u tr.u
engine has attained speed. In muku-nml-break
Ignition, low tension magnetos jr
used, with the .lump-spark either high or
low tnton. The high tetuion ob' lairs
thfo necessity of a arsrklng-coll, which Is
necessary with the low, but as tho roll
must he on the car when batteries are used
for starting purposes tha disadvantage of
the low-tension magneto is not so potent in
practice. The . wiring from hlgh-tennlon
magnetos Is mqr-h more complicated thnn
that from the low-tension. Whichever bo
used, the combination of magneto and calls
or nccumvlators la the ne plus ultra of ef
ficiency. (

Into technical details of engine construc
tion it Is' Impossible to enter at length In
the space of this article, but there ara a
few points well within the comprehension
Of tho ordinary purchaser which he will
do well to bear lit mind. In the first
place, a good engine Is a silent engine;
a- norsy ono Is Ipso facto, a bad one, and
Stands self-condemned, as noise means
wasted energy and undue wear from Im
perfect workmanship. Six cylinders are
becoming more and more fashionable, and
undoubtedly more than compensate for the
additional weight by giving-a more equal
torque. As In a four-cycle explosive en
gine each cylinder has one power stroke
out of four strokes of Its piston (or two
revolutions of the crank shaft), a four
cylinder engine gives one power stroke
with each half-turn of the crank-shaft,
therefore a six-cylinder engine gives a
power stroke with each one-third revolu
tion of the shsft, producing a mors con
tinuous twisting impulse, or, as it Is tech
nically termed, "A better torque." The
dlsadvantageof the six cylinders are an
undesirable lengthening of the crank-shaft,
and, the Introduction of a third more fac
tors of error Into the working of the en
gine, Involved by the additional cylinders,
with their valves, ignition and other ap
purtenances liable to failure.
Low-compressed engines are always pre
ferable to high; both the probability and
Importance of leakage round the cylinder
heads are minimized and the labor of
cranking is also much reduced.
Overheating7 In an engine Is a, bad fault,
but It Is not generally realised that many
builders go to the other extreme and keep
their engines ' too ' cool. Unless the tem
perature In the water-Jacket approaches
boiling point the engine Is not doing Its
best. A favorito trick of demonstrators,
dipping a finger . Into the water after a
hnrd climb, to show that the water Is not
hot, is misleading, as It simply proves a
great waste of power, and therefore of
fuel. The force of the explosions is mostly
converted into heat and lost by radiation
and conduction, Instead of being used to
turn the engine. Of course, no car should
have boiling water In the Jacket In or
dinary running, but one In which the wator
Is cool after a hard climb Is unnecessarily
extravagant with gasolene. -
In carburetters simplicity of design, ease
of adjustment and wide range are the main
features to be sought; a dashboard ad
just or. which enables the driver to alter
the proportion of fuel to air entering the.
cylinders, according to the power required.
Is a potent factor in economy and flexi
bility. N. Newham-Davis, in Country l.lfo

Tribute to Fisher
"Hed" Fisher, who-was with the Omaha
team last year. Is coming in for' prominence
and much commendation in the public
prints because of his work in St. Louis.
The following editorial appeared In a St.
Louis paper:
"The occasional attendant upon baseball
games of the professional kind has littlo
cause to complain that wonderful achieve
ments are not brought to pass at every
game. Only the-hardened fan cart view,
with complacency, the rapidity and ac
curacy, which, mark the work of all the
players.
'.The caaual ' witness marvels . that . so
much skill should ever have been developed.
He canajot see wherein one side Is stronger
than another. - The men appear to work al
most aiike, ' and ' all with amaxlng ex pert -
ness. .Jt seem? only by some sort .of chance
that tne team Is victorious and the other
defeated.- Such' is the perfection to' which
the playing of. tha national game has been
brought.
"But onco In a while there is a piny
which stands out. from all the other plays
In the game. Tlals is the sort of play which
seems nothing short of ' miraculous, when
an 'analysis is attempted.. .The public
knows that the players have learned to ac
complish the Impossible. It is not very
long ago that a learned man, versed in the
laws of psychics; maintained that a ball
could not bo thrown' by a pitcher In a
curved line. But he . was convinced that
tliei thing -could be done.
However, a play like Fisher's catch on
Saturday . fills . even the devotees of the
game with amazement. .
"To the nimble young fellow named the
batter knocked a. high flyj.or, rather, ho
knocked It far over his head. Fisher made
a mental calculation so we must suppose
as to speed and distance, and he turned
and lore out toward the edge of the field.
Once and again as he rah he glanced bacU
over his shoulder, and continued his winged
flight. The spectators saw, or' thought
they saw, that all his speed could not avail
that the bnli must fall outside his reach
But he continued tq run. and suddenly ho
leaped high in the air, his back to the fail
Ing- ball, and then lie partially turned
ulieut, and when his loan carried him to
the highest possible point, he reached forth
his - hand, stretching every musele, and
seized' the ball and drew It down to caiih.
"Was It calculation or luck? Wo do not
believe that miracles are being performed
any longer, and so it could not have bean
a miracle. There are people, who will say
that tho thing was an accident; that. If it
should happen again, it would be a coinci
dence; that l It ahould happen a third
lime, it might bo udjtidged a habit. .
"For our part, wo believe il v.ns a cal
culation, so rapidly and accurately done
thai it mltht put the man with compass
n:d triangii to shame. But it it must be
called 'an accident, let us hop that Mr.
Fisher will cultivate the linbit."

NEW YORK. May 14-After practically
a year's Idleness with the raquet. Reals
Wright of Boston, who dszsled the tennis
world five years ago by displaying bril
liant flashes of court generslshlp, has de
cided to return lo the game to seek more
honors on the grass aud turf courts of the
country. The fact that the former national
singles title holder Is to again take up Hie
racquet Is not only of especial Interest to
this country, but to England and Australian
followers of the game as well. To state that
Wright will probably captain the team
which will meet England In the challenge
ties at Wimbledon Is a fact that will create
unusual Interest throughout the entire ten
nis world.
Wright, It will be remembered, was one
of the strongest tennis players this coun
try boasted of five years ago, and It Is de
clared that he Is regaining his old-time
form. He recently won the Florida state
tournament, and his work sgainst tennis
stars there bore out the fact that he still
possesses championship ability.
In every sense of the word Is Wright a
veteran, and now that he If to re-enter the
field his entry will give confidence to the
American team should It be successful In
the ties and win the right to challenge the
Australians for the cup which Dwlght
Davis contributed for competition. The
Davis cup committee of the National Lawn
Tennis association declares that they are
Jubilant now that the tennis ranks are to
be strengthened by Wright. Already ar.
rangements are being made for the prelim
inary ties and the committee, it is reported,
will decide upon Wright as captain and.
manager of the American team.
Veterans Won't Leave (oinlrr.
America has any number of good men

but the older and more experienced men
cannot afford to take the time 'to play out
of this country, which the Davis Cup
mstches necessitate. In this list are Larned,
CloMiler, Hackett and . Alexander, a team
which, tennis experts declare, would prob
ably bring back the famous international
trophy were It to play in the Antipodes.
As matters now stand, a team must be
chosen from the younger men. While these
are star performers they lack the real fine
points of . the game which are requisite
for victory In an international match. The
overwhelming defeat the American player.i,
Maurice McLaughlin and Melville Long,
Buffered In Australia proved this fully.
yith Wright back In the fold America's
chances to capture the Davis cup are some
what brighter than they were a few months
ago, when It was announced that this coun
try would again figure in the fanous
tourney. It will be some time before the
team is selected, but the committee is al
ready sizing up the material. Another good
man who may be asked to' represent the
United States is Raymond P. Little. Little
has had ample experience in international
contests, having captained the team In
1906. With two such, men. In line things
begin to look a little brighter. It is not
known whether or not McLaughlin or Long
will be Invited to play again. However, It
is thought that they will get a chance In
the ties. , '
Wright, so the sharps say. Is regarded
as one of the greatest tennis tacticians In a
generation. He is a hard driver and as a
court general has few equals. That is, he
did when he was in tils' prime. It may be
that when he gets down to real hard work
his form may show a falling off. Whether
thst Is to be the case remains to be eeen.
Thos who have seen him in competition
recently declare that he has lost none of
his old-time form and, in fact, his tempor
ary rest has done him a world of good.
FOR INTERNATIONAL CONTEST
Cae
Competitions to Be Held
for
Ilrmartiat'a Trophy.
NEW YORK, May 14. -Negotiations undec
way for another international amateur
billiard tournament by the National As
sociation of Amateur Billiard Players were
Inspired by a recent successful amateur
tournament held In Paris and the fact that
the association has In its custody the Inter
national trophy, won by Calvin Demarest
in 1908 and surrendered by' that expart
when he became a professional. M. Rerolle.
who represented Franca in that tourna
ment,' was defeated In Paris In 1909 by M.
Mortler and subsequently Joined the pro
fessional ranks.
Annual competitions in Paris are held
under the auspices of the Federation
Society of French Amateur Billiardlsts and
are open to legitimate amateurs from all
paTts of the world. The contests are 400
points at 18.2 balk line. Thla year's cham
pionship was won by M. Senn, who last
year finished first In ths games for second
clars players. He made a high run of 113
and a grand average of 14.08. French
papers say his improvement In the last
year has been quite remarkable. He won
the deciding game by the small margin
of two points from Herr Poensgen of
Dusseldorf and had one more Inning than'.
the German expert. The latter ' made a
high run of 10? and an average of 1C.S3,
while the victor ran 96 and averaged 12.5.
H-frr l'oensgen's exhibition of slill was
a distinguishing 'feature and also the sur
prise of the tournamerl. In his game with
M. Mortler, last year's entropion, whom he
defeated, lie avoraged 22.22. A German
gentleman who saw fswrsl of the games
In Paris and who Is now in New York oi,
a vlflt was astonlsh'.-d when informed Hon
Poensgen had not won He says that ic
gaidless cf any possible national prejud cs
he has no hesitation about pronouncing irr.
German tha most skillful of the competi
tors. It Is probable Hirr Poensgen Hs the.
best player, eithtr professional or atnatcui,
evir developed in Gcrmary. And "what Is
meat notewoithy is the fact that lie de
veloped on small tables and had to play
on a standard 5x10 In Paris.
