of the girl's tryout may be changed
to conform "with the matched, game
between the boys. In the event that
the boys do hot hook lip for a match

followers of the game, has the ma
terial been so promising and interest
so keen as nowy so that the ones
who win their spurs next Friday

at that moment can, easily enough,

HOW THE " ENGLISH LIKE IT,
London Mail Tells Its Version of
: American Football as Seen in ,
v - v England. ,.
. A very artistic description of an
American football as viewed by, an
Englishman who has never seen, a
real game or lootnau, is included in
the story from the London Dally Tel
egraph: ' ,' ' : 'i . ' -C'-
The first . exhibition in London of
the American Rugby game was given
at the Crystal Palace football ground
yesterday afternoon by teams select
ed from the crews of the United
States battleships Idaho and Vermont.
The ' 6,000 people present witnessed
a rousing struggle, which, though
rendered somewhat one sided by the
superiority of the Idaho men, was
nevertheless thoroughly enjoyed.
Resembling the British Rugby
game in many ways, the American
game is much rougher and more ex
citing. , Opponents hurled. themselves
against each other when at full speed
in a manner which alarmed the crowd
with the exception of that portion
which was composed of v American
sailors, who displayed their partisan
ship by cheering, shouting advice and
waving flags. The band from the
battleship Idahp struck up lively airs

BOATMAN nAS GAINED BUT SET-
EN FOISTS THUS FAB.
With Four Hundred More to Go, Pro-
fessional Mast Show Speed.
' ' " m ' ! '.
' ' ;'- '; ' ' ' ' ' t ... : '
With one of the three-night pool
match over. Boatman, the Northwest
champion pool shark has gained but
seven points of a total of fifty against
Don McLaughlin, the local crack who
is pitted against the professional for
a six hundred point match, Boatman
handicapped' fifty. The first night's
match ended, Boatman 201, McLaugh
lin 194. This in a decided advantage
for McLaughllr for Boatman will have
to overcome torty-three points in
two more night's playing. , '
A large audience was at the Paul's
cigar parlors to witness the first
night's scores. McLaughlin electri
fied the audience, and startled his
professional opponent by running
down ten,, eleven, thirteen and. four
teen in as manv frnmna. unit na ttia
'championship pool rules are adhered
w, mm means inai Boatman naa
less , than a dozen during) that time.
But McLaughlin lost . some of hisi
brilliancy, partly through Inexperi
ence with some of the championship
rules. McLaughlfa . plays spot ball
while in this match when the rack
is run down the balls are spotted
and not before. On this account many
of the runs are spoiled. Another han
dicap for McLaughlin is a steady con.
slstent player and his supporters are
confident be will win out, notwith
standing that his big lead early In
the evening was cut down by the
whilwlnd finish of the professional.
Boatman's Shots never. .
Boatman - executed some 'difficult
strokes, one or two of them which
are noteworthy : was a kiss shot
across the table and a four-ball com
bination kiss shot of long range. His
eye and stroke improved as the match
progressed and j if McLaughlin falls
down materially he stands a chance
of winning at the final finish.
The match differs ' from 1 amateur
matched in that the balls are spot
ted at once at the drop of the fif
teenth ball and the opponent breaks
and retires, whereas It is customary
to spot at the conclusion of each
run and not before. ; ' . -i ;
