CHICAGO, March 17.—-Willie Hoppe of New York last night won the 18.1 balk line billiard championship of the. world py de- feating George Sutton of Chicago, the final score being, Hoppe, 500; Sutton, 228, According to the terms of the match, which were named by, Hoppe, as challenger, the victor carried off the diamond emblem, the stake money, amounting to $500, and the entire box office récelpts. Edward H. Sem- plo of Minneapolls refereed theé contest. Hoppe won' the bank ‘and missed the opening shot. He left a “setup” and Sut- ton collected 20 at the first trial. For the next six Innings Sutton played a strong, consistent game, keeping his aver- age close to 16, while Hoppe was unable t6 bring the balls under control. He was com- Ppelled to make the majority of his billiards at long range. In the seventh, however, Hoppe brought together 3 In a succession of ditficult. masse and 'round-the-table shots. Sntton made a couple of “goose eggs’ in the ninth and tenth, while Hoppe ran up | 8 In his ninth attempt. In his twelfth, Hoppe took the lead, with | & run of 32, the score at the end of the twelfth standing: Hoppe, 14; Sutton, 135. From the twelfth joning on Hoppe grad- umlly Increased his l¢ad and when the twen- tyseqond Wwas ended he was 131 pofnts ahead, ‘tho. tafal being: Hoppe, 826; Sut- ton, 1%6. Sutton apparently lost both his stroke and judgment of distance, missing several easy draw shots apnd one-cushion caroms. Hoppe's game, on the other hand, tnproved and he drove the ball around the table, ex- ecated hard masse shots and played bank shots with precision.

DAYTONA, Fla., March 17—Barney Ol ficld, driving nmainst time from & fiying start, In a 200-horse-power Benn autemeblle of specinl design, covered the fastest mlile yesterday traveled by & human being: His time was 27 ana 33-100 seconds. Noth- ing projeeted into space by man, save & bullet, ever has travelled at equal speed. The previous record was set four years ago by Marriott, who drove a spe- clal Btanley steamer one mile 8% seconds at an average speed of 127.6 miles an hour. Oldfiei1's average today was 18173, Oldfield again launched his great car from a standing start for a mile against time and crossed the finish line with an- other record. His time was 0 and 53-100 seconds as against 41 and 23-100 seconds | made with the same ear by Hemmery in England. The timing for both races was done by C. H. Warner, official timer for the Ameri- can Antomobile assoelation, with the saine mechanieal deviee he used at the Atlanta and Indfanapoiis speedways; and which has been offieially adopted by the assoctation. Ralph De Palme, Oldfield’s rival, who was tnable to start against him beeause of a broken piston, acted as representative of the kohtest board. A surveyor's cer- tiffeate was flied for the distance posts, and only the formal acceptance of the board is necessary before the record passes offielally into the history of the annihil. atfon of distance The best previous offielal record for the mile from a flying start by a gasoline car is two miles in §3% seconds, made at Ormond Beach, Fia., in a 8%-horse-power car by Demegeot in 1906 at an average of 132.3 miles an hour.

OMAHA, FRIDAY, MAR(‘H 18 Cornhuskers Will Go to K. C. Nebraska Track Men Will Compete Today in Annual Indoor Meet in Missouri, LINCOL March 17.~(Special )~Ne- braska will send a team of five men to Kansas Clty tomorrow to compete in the annual Indoor meet of the Kansas City Athletic club Saturday. Four of the fjve men will compose the Cornhusker relay team. The fifth athlete will be Dale Mc- Donald, who will compete in the hurdle races. The relay team that will represent Ne- braska at Kansas City has on it two men who did not compete in the Sfoux City meet last week. Captain Burke and Reed ran on the quartet at Sloux City and will be at Kansas City. McGowan and Powers are the two new runners. The Nebraska train- ers decided to leave Minor and Davis off the Kansas City relay team in order to test the strength of the new runners, with a view of getting the best relay quartet in the university to represent the Cornhuskers at the meet In Omaha on April 1. The Cornhuskers dld not show up at Sloux City as well ‘as they had been “doped” to do, and it Is thought the new runners who go to Kansas City may be able to run faster | than the pair that made the race for Ne- braska last week. Coach Ben R. Cherrington took charge of the Cornhusker track men today and put them through the first training of the out- door practice season. A meeting of all the candidates was held this atternoon, ond the plans for the spring outlined. Coach Cherrington 1s enthusiastic about the out- look for the season and looks for a strong track team. The new cinder path on Nebraska fleld is belng constructed this week, but the work s progressing slowly because the athletic management s experlencing great trouble In getting cinders and ashes to place on the cirele. Manager Bager Is rush- ing the work as fast as possible in an at- tempt to get the track finished before in- clement weather sets in. The sixth annual gymnastic contest will be held at the university armory tomorrow night. A team will be selected from the winners of the events in this exhibition to represent Nebraska at the annual contest of the Western Intercolleglate Gymnastic assoclation, which is to be held at Minne- apolis next month. A feature of the exhibition tomorrow night will be several wrestling bouts. In one of these Frank N. DuCray, instructor in wrestling at the university, will meet several of the local professional wrestlers. D. C. Mitchell, winner of the individual contest In the western meet last year, will be one of the contestants this week.

PLANT § FUMES INJURE FORESTS Sulph G Destroy Gardens, and Besides, Methods are Unnecessary, Recites Bi Company's WASHINGTON, March 17.—Satlstled th the present methods of operating its smelt- ers by the Anaconda Copper Mining com- | pany are not only destructive In widespread degree to the surrounding natural forests, but unnecessary, Attorney General Wicker- sham today caused a bill in equity to be filed at Helena, Mont.,, against the com- pany. The bill asks for a permanent In- Junetion to compel the company to oper: its plant at Anaconda In such a manner as to end the destruction. The company has resisted the demand of the government that the methods of smelt- ing be changed and among other conten- tions has represented that it would cost millions of dollars to do &0, besides the loss acerulng from the temporary shutting down of the plants. The attorney general, however, announces that the suit will be pressed vigorously, unless, as he hopes, the company will co-operate voluntarily with the government to bring about a termina- tion of the existing conditions. Frienly Acton of No Avail. At the Department of Justice the atate- ment was made that the sult wi not flled until every possible friendly method had been exhausted. Amendments to secure accession of the injuries from the smelter were under way some time before the close of President Roosevelt's administrations, and the min- ing companies were then notified that sults would be brought unless definite action was taken by the smelters to stop the wholesale destruction of the for- ests, resulting from the distribution of sulphuric fumes over a wide area of the country. Instead of attempting to remedy the situation, the companies, it Is declared, represented to Mr. Roosevelt that they could operate thefr plants In no other manner than that then in use. President Roosevelt ordered a full Inves- tigation and took a personal interest in the hearings. The claims advanced by the Anaconda company, under which they sought to avold belng sued, it is declared, were not new, but were identfcal with those made In two other suits under which similar injuries were stopped, one case be- ing by the government against the Moun- tain Copper company in California and the other by the state of Georgla against the Ducktown, Tenn., company. Company Koresees Ruim, In each of these cases it was claimed that adverse aetion would mean the clos- ing of ‘the mines and smelters and the Qischarge of thousands of men, Injunc- tions, however, were granted in both in- stances, but neither mines nor smelters were closed. Instead, the companies spent the money necessary to convert the harm- ful fumes into a valuable product and many additional men were given work. On behdlf of the Montana smelters the contention was made- that they could not convert the fumes into acid as had been doné in California, but a full investl tion' of this claim by leading experts satistied the government of the entire fea~ sibility of converting the fumes at Ana- conda into acid and that there are large phosphate deposits near there, which may ‘e used in connéction) with such acld'in the manufacture of fertilizers.. | Caruso Nervous in Police Court Famous Tenor Appears Against Al- leged “Black Hand” Men in Extortion Case.
