PROFESSOR JACOBUS REVISES ROQUE HANDBOOK. Sent to Secretary Peale of the National Association. Copy Secretary Arthur L. Peale of the National Roque association has just Teceived the revised edition of the of- ficlal handbook of that game published by the American Sports Publishing company, under the editorship of Prof. Charles Jacobus, the expert and au- thority on the procedures and techni- calities of roque. The book contains an exposition of the game and the text is set off with interesting views of the Norwich courts, and of the grounds of the Washington Park Rogue club of Chicago, the Cleveland Roque club, the Chautauqua club and others in Los Angeles and Oakland, Cal. Scientific as Billiards. There :s no other fleld game that can compare with rogue as a test for good temper, forbearance, and that prince of manly qualities—forbearance, the introduction states. Roque is as sclentific as billiards. There is a greater fleld for strategy, the exercise of deliberate judgment, nerve, coolness and boldness of play in roque than in billlards, much as some may question the truthfulness of the assertion. The eye and the hand become trained. Lawn tennis calls for muscular action in immediate respanse to counterplay. Judgment must be' instantaneous and muscular movements rapid and tiguing. Roque stands in strong co: trast with its dellberate strokes, its moderate exercise and non-fatiguing eoffrts, even when prolonged. It is richly deserving of increased interest. The high degree of skill of whict the game by the introduction of nar- row arches, hard rubber balls and the most improved implements of play has been made capable, prevents it from being regarded as fit only for chil: dren. The average age of the contest. ants at eeveral tournaments of the national assoclation at Norwich was over 40 years. ‘The chlef pothl of excellence in roque enumerated are curacy In making one ball hit enough from the stroke of the mallet, ability to take position in front of the arches so as to pass through them successfuily, the arches being only 3 1-2 inches or 3 3-8 inches. wide, giving little chance of passing through to a ball of 3 1-4 inch- es, while in a wild position; the mak- ing of carom shots, facilftated by ce- ment borders, and wiring an adver- sary’s ball 50 a8 to leave no ball open or exposed. Norwich the Mecoa. The book eays that Norwich has been a genuine Mecca for years to lov- ers of Toque. Easily reached, the Rose ity of New England is especially & aven of delight, and the third Tues- day in August is Jooked forward to by roquers with the eagerness and uncon- cealed pleasure of children looking looking forward to the joys and festiv’ ties of Christmastide. President Williamson's Letter. The last pleasing sentiments are borne out in the letter recently re- ceived by Secretary Peale from Pre ident L. §.
