Her Is THOUGHT TO BE IN THE CITY aND WILL BE ARRESTED | ON SIGHT. There is a brave little woman, with a family of five children, living at 294334 | Mission street, who has abundant proof that marriage, as far as she is concerned, is | a failure. The woman is Mrs. Elizabeth Connell, and she is now struggling against | adverse circumstances, consequent upon | the desertion of her husband, Joseph Con- nell, formerly a finisher in Buckingham & | Hecht's shoe-factory. ‘ Mrs. Connell says she has suffered enough at her husband’s hand to cause her to go mad. She met him thirteen years ago, and his handsome face and form and agree- able ways won her heart completely. “Iwas a divorced woman when I met | him,” explained Mrs. Connell. “I had been wretchedly treated by my husband, and when Connell proposed marriage I Joseph Conpnell. [From a photograph.) thought fate had some comfort in store for me. But I was deceived. He became a worthless fellow, gambled and consorted with bad women. % protested against his course, and all I received was blows. *‘The years of our marriage were full of torture to me, and when he deserted me 1 somehow felt hnppfi. Iam now seekin| to track him for the childfen’s sake, will force him to take care of them by-fur- nishing money for their support. I have been a-sufferer from hemorrhage for sev- eral years, and Iam incapable of provid- ing for the wants of my family,” rs. Connell states that her husband went to St. Louis, but that he has returned and ig now in this city. He was seenin a Valencia-street saloon some time ago and his old haunts are being watched with a view of locating him. Secretary McComb has decided to arrest Connell on sight, and in the mean time he will make pmv{!wn for the family, who are at lprasenc in absolute want. nnell is well known here, be having resided in the city nearly twenty years, PLAYING THE GREAT "GENTLEMAN'S GAME. 'WONDERFUL THINGS DONE BY THE CHAMPIONS OF CUE AND IVORY. MAKING DIFFICULT STROKES. How THE “ MassEes,” “FoORcEs,” “GATHERS” AND PuzzLING SHOTS ARE GIVEN. Billiards has been written about so often that the principles of the game seem to be generally understood, and it would require a good-sized book to give even a fair de- scription of the various ‘‘spreads,” “fol- lows,” “magses,” “forces,” “gathers,”’ ete. This article is intended merely to be a gen- eral discourse on the game, and particu- larly on the greatest billiard-players of the age and some of the shots they make. 1Jacob Schaefer and Frank C. Ives, re- spectively the “Wizard” and the “Young Napoleon” of billiards, are in San Fran- cisco again. They have given two public exhibitions at Metropolitan Hall and one at the Olympic Club for the benefit of the members and their lady friends. The re- sult would seem to be that every one who does not play the game is going to learn it, and those who do play, with more or less skill. are bent on improvement, Without entering into a discussion as to the relative merits of the two players, it may not be amiss to state that Ives, by virtue of the result of his last match with Schacier, holds at present the title of champion. Notwithstanding his defeat, however, Schaefer is still regarded by a majority of billiard experts as the greatest player that ever lived. Be that as it may, his mantie will undoubtedly fall on Ives, as Slosson, “The Student,” who formerly formed one of the “Great Trio,” and Vigneaux, the great French expert, have practicaiy retired from the fight for cham- p1onship laurels, while Sexton, Daly, Dion, Wallace and Carter, although undoubtedly experts, were never properly in the cham- pionship class. Ives is simply a marvel of accuracy and clear-headedness, and be- tween him and Schaefer there is little to choose. A match between them to-day might be won by one, and to-morrow by the other. Letween ordinary players a miscue or a blunder might not make much difference in the general result. Between th ese two it would result fatally if made at a critical point in the game. As Schaefer is generally supposed to have taught Ives ali tnat he knows in regard to the finer de- tails of the game,and to have been his { mentor and guide in the formation of his play, it is not surprising that they play | very much alike with the excepticn of speed, Ives taking more time, He is by no means a slow player, but Schaefer never appears to look more than once at a shot before playing it. He is not careless, how- ever. Noman can be careless and at the same tzme be a perfect master of plain bil- I1aras, and also of every innovation intro- duced into it for years, most, if not all, of which were introduced simply for the pur- pose of curbing ability to play all night. A case in point is the match he played here a couple of years ago with our then local champion, McCleery. The match was played in Metropolitan Hall, 3000 oints up, in blocks of 1000 a night, Mc- 1 eery receiving odds of a discount. The result is well remembered. McCleery made a few vpoints. Schaefer picked up his cue and ran his first thousand without a break. He left the balls in perfect position, went over and repeated the operation the sec- ond night, and on the third ran out the last block and won the match. McCleery mignt just as well have been at home or anywhere else, as he never had an oppor- tunity of shooting after Schaefer got to work. To cast back a little, and by way of ex- pianation or some of the changes in the game, 1t was just such runs as these that led to the adoption of the various distances of balk line and the champions’ game. People were tired of seeing the players get the balls “on the rail,” work them down, “turn the corner,”” and so on round and round the table, with not a single break in the endless monotony. Ina match straight rail game it is not long before the balls, after the most accurate and delicate manipula- tion, assume the position described in figure 1 in the diagram below. Figures 2 and 3 show other positions, very much the same, into which they are susceptible of being “nursed”” without materially injur- ing the player’s chances for a big run, but it iz the intent to keep them always in the position, approximately, as shown in figure 3. The ability to do this is in fact the very backbone of straight billiards. Without it 10 one can hope to be any more than an average player. It is perhaps equally as difficult to get them there as it is to keep them there, but they often get into that position thtough accident, luck oz -leave,” and it certainly cannot be maintained that they will stay there from any of these causes, for the fact is that they will not. They yearn to get away, and nothing but the most tender coaxing and manipulation in the proper way will prevent them from etting away. Without that you make a gew points and, lo! you have lost them. Figure 4 shows the balls at the corner and the method of turning it. Diagram A—The Rail Nurse. As stated before this is the delicate work of billiards. The diagram below shows a “position’” shot that needs a ‘‘smash.’’ Lon Harris used to make it easily, but it takes a little too much strength for the ordinary player. Diagram B—One of Lon Morris’ Shots. The following shot is one that Schaefer made at the Olympic Club the other night. The cue ball is struck above the center slightly, but with the cue held at a slight angle which furnishes the drawing power and makes 1t jump the red ball, strike the white and come back and make the carom on the red in the corner. Diagram C—Schaefer’s Shot : Jumping the Red and Drawing From the ‘White. Probably the secret of Schaefer’s success in these shots lies in his ability to hit a ball just a little harder than any other player, in spite of the fact that he is a small man physically. The following shot requires an’ enormous amount of force: The cue ball is held at a slight elevation, strikes the red and takes the course indicated by the black line, making the carom on the two balls on the side rail, Diagram D@ Another of Schaefer’s Shots. In the following diagram is shown a shot that speaks for itself, and it is well that it does so, for no adequate written explana- tion of it can be furnished. On this same diagram three balls are shown in a direct line with each otherin the lower corner of the table. The balls in this position form what is known as the ‘“‘Impossible.” The cue ball is *‘frozen’’ in the corner and the other two are frozen togf'ethcr, the nearer of the two to the cue ball being separated from it by a hair's breadth only. There is no opportunity for 2 masse, the cue ball cannot be made to get up on the rail by any kind of trickery, and to attempt to carom over to the long rail and back in order to meet the farther object ball would result simply in a “shove,” and be consequently illegitimate. Diagram E—An Inexplicable Shot by Schaefer and the ‘‘Impossible Shot.” One interesting item in regard to both MARCH 31, 1835 Schaefer and Ives is the fact that they hold the *‘stroke” arm at a very consider- able distance from their sides when play- ing, a direct slap in the face of the ol rule that the “arm must swing directly in line with the object ball and the eye.’ _The diagram below shows the *balk line,” the very name of which is sufficient to indicate its purpose, i. e., to prevent the balls from being nursed in the way illus- trated by diagram A, two . points only being allowed within the line, after which one of the balls must be driven outside of its limits. It matters net that it may come in again in exactly the position that it occupied before. It must be driven “out” and “in,” and for a time it was thought to answer all the restrictive re- quirements. But necessity rose to the oc- casion and invented the ‘“‘anchor nurse,” as shown by the position of the balis—one on each side of tfne balk line. The “nurs- ing" in this case consisted of rubbing the cue ball across the faces of the other two ently that their positions were not dis- turbed. " Runs of 500 or 600 in this way have been made, and promoters of the game are wondering what they will invent next to curtail the enormous runs seem- ingly possible to such players as Schaefer and Ives. Diagram F—The Anchor Nurse. It is strange that some sort of a com- bination game has not been tried, the rule being that each player shall make in the order indicated say 1000 straight billiards, 250 at cushion caroms, 750 at balk line plain and the next thousand at balk line with the anchor nurse barred. Under these it would be possible to see all of the different styles in one evening, which would be vastly more satisiactory to the spectator than under the present rules of play. The figures could be altered if necessary to include two blocks of straight billiards of 500 each, with cushion caroms in between or a little balk line. This plan also would go far to prove the general supremacy of one player in a combination of styles.” For instance, no one will play Schaler at cushion caroms. Even Ives de- clined to make a match with him at that style of game, preferring to keep, for a while, at least, the laurels won at balk line. It is doubtful if any one would en- gage in a straight billiard match with him, either, as runs of 3000 in 3000-point matches sound too discouraging. But the combination system as outlined above would do away with all that, as a little re- FRESH AND SOPH ON THE TRACK. NO RECORDS BROKEN AT THE " "“SCRATCH" FIELD-DAY CONTESTS. OLYMPICS DEFEAT STUDENTS. SwEATERS THaT WERE Not WoN. DYer CoveERs HIMSELF WiTH GLORY. The freshman-sophomore seratch field- day games were played on the university cinder path yesterday afternoon. No records were broken, but some of the en- tries came so near it that it was a difficult matter to tell whether they were broken or not. The sophomores won few first places, but made a hard struggle for the seconds and thirds and succeeded in winning a majority of them. They were beaten, however, by a score of 63 to 41. Excitement ran high during to first half of the exercises, but toward the close the track was slow and the audience restiess. Everybody expected that the 100-yard dash between Barnes, '98, and Scoggins, '97, wonld be won by Champion Scog- gins, who holds a record of ten seconds flat for the hundred, but Barnes came out half a yard ahead and crossed the tape in :10 2-5 seconds. Barnes is one of the most promising men in_the U. C. athletic team and there is no telling what he will yet do as a sprinter. Melville Dozier came within half an inch of the U. C. record in the running broad jump, leaping 21 feet 1134 inches. It was at first thought he had broken the record. but when the distance was measured with the steel tape it was found that he had not done so. This was his maiden entry in a regular field day, and athletes predict great things for him in future. Captain Koch made an exhibition shot- put, hurling the 16-pound ball 39 feet 3 inches, surfias.«ing the U. C. record of 37 feet 1 inch, held by L. E. Hunt, "93. Dozier, '98, and Brown, 98, won an equal number of points each, and they will have to cast lots for the sweater offered to the man scoring the greatest number of points. A sweater was also offered io the man breaking a U. C. record, but none wsare broken. In the 880- ard dash Dozier '98 took first Plaue‘ Cole 97 second place and Trefethen 97 third. Time, 2 min. 12 sec. Barnes ’98 took the first place in the 220, Scoggins 97 second and Magee '97 third. Time, 244 sec. In the 120-yard hurdles Bakewell '98 took flection will prove. Lack of space precludes a further disser- tation on the game and its leading players, or even to give any idea of the multitude of shots possible. An evening spent in contemplating a first-class billiard match will be found more instructive and edify- ing than all the books printed or yet to printed on this the only ‘‘gentleman’s ame’” and the finest indoor pastime yet nvented. THE GIANT IS AT LIBERTY. THOMAS KELLY WAS NoT IM- PLICATED IN THE MURDER OF CORNELIUS STAGG. THE CHARGES OF VAGRANCY AND VisITING AN OPIUM, PLACE ALsO DISMISSED. "Thomas Kelly, the tall man, 6 fect 8 inches, who was suspected, owing to his tallness and thinness, of being implicated in the Stagg murder, has been completely relieved of the unjust suspicion, Robert Lee, the colored man, who was in the sitting-room with Stagg at the time of the murder, had_a look at Kelly in the City Prison, and when he saw his extraordinary height and attenuated frame he at once said Kelly was not the man. The giant smiled a sickly smile and re- marked pleasantly: ““Well, I told you so. but you wouldn't believe me.” Kelly is again a free man, Yesterday morn- ing he and the five oth- ers, Joe Bunnell, John Anderson, George Wil- son, Charles Ellis and Edward Williams, ap- eared before Judge ampbell to answer to the charges of vagrancy and visiting an opium lace. They were found in a lodging-house on the corner of Pine and Dupont streets on Sat- urday night, March 23. Their attorney asked for a dismissal of the charge of visiting an opium place on the ground that section 807 of the Penal Code pro- vides that the opium Kelly. must be sold and smoked in the same place. There was no cflnrge that the opium was sold in the lodging-house where the de- fendants were arrested by the police. The Judge decided the point was well taken, and dismissed the cases. On_the vagrancy charge it was proved that Kelly, Ellis and Williams had been working prior to their arrest, and the cases against them were dismissed. The cases against Bunnell, Anderson and Wat- son were continued till April3. Kelly, the giant, felt more aggrieved at being considered an “‘opium fiend’’ than at the suspicion of being the tall man who shot Cornelius Stagg. He refused to give his true name. Says It Was Spite, Among the men who were taken into custody by the police while they were searching for the sssailant of William P. Blake was Henry Mul- len, who lodged with young Ziegler at the St. David House. Mullen says that n;: police took e's room at tne Grana Hotel and the ?v‘:?n:%&“:dlwr ively declared that the prisoner was not the robber who shot him in thealley. Yet, notwithstanding Blake’s asser- tion, Mullen says the police ook him to the €ity Prison and locked him up. They did that, he asserts, because they disliked him and had threatened to arrest him whenever they had an opportunity. ————————— _ “If you don't take Langley’s Directory, | you don’t get the names.” Out Monday.
