Great Caateat tm Take Place Tsday Betweea laalafalla aad 2 Bassets. The two strongest team la th Gaelic Assoc la-lion will fac each other to play off the disputed game of May It this afternoon. The previous meeting of th two trams produced one of th fastest and moat exciting game ever' seen la Chicago, tbe Emmets pulling the match out of the lire la the last minute. Tbe Innlsfalls lodged protest, which waa sustained, and the two club ordered to meet again today. Th players on both sides hsv aone some extra training and the match this afternoon should be a hot, on from taft to finisb.

The Liberators and Parnells also ha re a disputed match 10 play off. and tbey will also endeavor to do so today. The play should be of aa interesting nature. Tbe Brut match Is called for th TS. Tll out to la In o'clock sharp, and a strong effort Is to be made to start promptly.

Nearly all track- drivers cUlm that a "bike" sulky draws easiest whea tbe shafts are elevated. or when the wheela are placed quite a little la front of the driver.

They say, "Why do all the aoted driver hats theirs hung that way If It la not so?" They show you that, while one hold the end of tbe shaft high In the air, and an other presses down on the rear of the sulky. It will run easily forward. Try tbe same experiment with a dump cart aad you will have a like result, but wbo will tell you that a horse eaa draw load the easiest with the weight In the back of the cart. The farther tbe load la 4ack of tho wheela the more weight you will have on tham. consequently they will sink deeper Into a aandy or soft track, causing greater resistance.

To Illustrate: Suppose you place tbe wheels forward, halt way between the weight. 1M pounds. of the driver and the shaft lugs, thea It would require 150 pounds downward pressure shaft luga to balance the driver's weight, which would make auo pounds on -the wheels. Should you Plata the wbeeja one-fourth of the distance between the driver and tbe abaft luga. you will have one-fourth more weight on them.

80 It will be area that the weight oa tbe wheela la Increased la proportion aa yoa brtag them forward. We are told that the closer a horse Is hitched ta a load the easier he will draw It- That, however. dependa upon rlrcumatancea. If hitched to a stone boat the closer the better. 11 rawing a railroad car, where the line of draught la level, it will make no difference whether hitched Ave feet or KM feet away.

If hitched near the top. of a box car be could draw It easlestawbea quite a distance off. But if so arranged that be could be attached to thevar near tbe ground, the closer tbe hltcb the greater the advantage. It may take the same amount ot power to a raw two different sulkies, but, owing to tbe construction and way of bitching, a horse may nave better advantage of one than the otner. 11 so.

1 don't think It will be because tbe wheels are set la front of the driver's weight. FAST TIMR AT nomno GREBV, All the Clssses Flatak la Oar. Twa, Tare-d- Order at Taa aerd. Buwlln Green. Ohio, June 20.

Former Beat Haver aaa tke Latter Takes Chare's Mraiirr. Newton, June 29. Special Telegram. The fifth aad last day's playing In tbe Nelghbor- nooa lawn tennis meeting commenced this morn ing with a contest between Dr. Pirn and Ma- honey.

Ia the first set during tbe, match Ma-honey played aa good tennl as ha ever been plaved in thia country. Hla bard volley and placing were wonderfully accurate and won the flrst set for him. 7-6. In tbe second set Dr. Pi in commenced to work with a will and won tbe flrst two game.

The champion played continually at the act, and although Mahoney made hla usual terrific drives, they did not bother the former. Mahoney seemed to he surprised at Dr. Pirn' great playing aad appeared somewhat rattled. Two more game for tbe champion and It be gan to look as though he wotild wia the match. The slaughter did not stop here, for he woa an other game, and tbe score waa 4-love in his fa vor.

Mahoney worked hard to stem the tide. getting two games. Dr. Pirn winning the set. The third.

snd decisive set found Dr. Pirn superior to Mahoney from tbe start, but the latter waa plucky aad did some good playing as the set progressed, but not good enough to win from the champion, who woa the set, 4-3. Tbe second match was between lamed and Ho. hart, the former easily winning 4-1, 4-1. Lamed played brilliantly and profited by good placin aad Hobart's unsteadiness.

In the Arst set the score was three to two attaint him before he settled down, aad from tbat on he plainly showed his uperiority. Fully fifteen hundred people watched the after noon's sport, and hearty applause recognised every good stroke. The story of tbe first set Is a short one. Chace stared back almost through out the set and lobbed almost every return, while Mshoney gsined tbe net as much as possible snd volleyed and smarbed the lobs. In thia set Chace had the bad Judgment to lob short, and Maaoaey easily killed the returns by sharp smashes cross court, winning the set.

6-3. The second set waa different. Here Chace. after los ing the first game on Mabooev's backhand eat strokes, played up tbe ground ta his opponent base line corner aad began km lobbing again. He was more tHcessful.

for he tossed blah into the air until Mahoney. anxious to kill the turn, either amashed nut or into the net. It was a queer game, aad rather toe difficult to be kept ao long, aa the sequel shows, chace finally won the set, -l. The first game of the third set went to tbe Irishman because Chace lobbed short and th former smashed accurately. Chace lobbed everything for the first three strokes of tbe second game, and thea played a beauty over tne net cross court.

Tossing gave the third te wno umiwi snort sgala la the fourth. wniie Maaoaey kinea It. The fifth aad sixth games were settled the same way. Chace took a turn running up lo Be at la tbe seventh, and Mahoney loaned loo low In aa endeavor ta drive blra away. Tbe next two games were all ground strokes and each won a game.

Thea Mahoaey clinched tne set by winning the tenth and th -1. 4, on sharp and accurate smashing. The Dr. Pi m-Hover match was a bur disan. point ment.

But th cause that operated to prevent meeting with the Frenchman are too well known to need recapitulation. When Michael Phelan. John Seereiter. Dudley Kavaaaugh.

aad John Decry, and Frank Parker. Harry Rhine. Tom Foley, Maurice Daly, John Beaaunger, Henry Miller. Louis Abrams. and others too numerous to mention, were among th active worker, billiards waa aa element in the public amusements ot the period that attracted atten tion ta every part of tbe country.

The player those days did not wait for some one to offer big purse, but they challenged each other and put up their own money or were backed ay friend and fought their battles bravely la every State of the Union. The famoaa contest between Michael Phelan aad John Seereiter, at Detroit. April 12, ISO, waa an illustration of the methods la vogue among player of that day, and also manifeated the popular enthusiasm existing at that time In favor of billiards. The game was at the old American four-ball carom style, nointa un. tor i.fl0 a side.

In addition to the take money of tlO.OOH It waa variously estimated that from S29.000 to tw.000 waa invested on the game in the city of Detroit alone, and Phelan himself ia said to have won about IU.000. An Cya-wltnca, describing the scene at old Fireman's Hall, where the game wag played, and wbea evety spectator paid xj for admission, saya: At o'clock, the time appointed tor the com mencement of tbe game, there waa lively betting la a portion of the room where a number Mr. Phclan'a friends bad gathered together. soon In sums of various amounta waa at even rate on the result. In aa brief a time It waa possible for tbe parties to make their gentleman standing in his place he de-dred to bet any gentleman fSx en Mr, 'l 11 take replied Mr.

faclaa, and S. a by mutual consent this bet waa rapidly Increased to 12.5) a side." This serves as aa tadlration of the enthusiasm net alone la billiards aa a game, but also in Iks Individual players, aa It existed over' thirty year ago. But thia waa produced by th effort of th player themselves, who made- th matches, put up the stakes, and played for them. With the adveat, however, of the great star ia whom public attention haa been centered for years, this universality of billiards contracted and narrowed Into a focus so small that two or three player bare absolutely absorbed tbe attention of the entire billiard world. For a song time Schaefer aad Sloaaon were tbe all-controlling factors, aad In order to produce "new Htch-monds In the field" the famous short-stop tournament waa arranged during February, IXfl.

Although Eugene Carter won thia tourney. Ives superiority waa so manifeat that It was.no surprise when be beat Carter the following April at tbe Central Music Hall, and araia la October of the same year at Davidson's Opera House in Milwaukee. Thea followed lve victories over ncnaerer and Slnsson for the fourteen-inch balk-line championship, and after tbat tbe leadership of professional billiards in America waa in th hands of three Instead of two plsyers. But from that moment professional fciDlartl playing seemed to stand still la tbia country. Ivea and Schaefer, Ittracted by tbe big money be obtained at Paris by starring st tba places flourishing there under tbe fictitious designation of billiard academies, left A merles, and made the French capital practi.ajly their horn until th French authorities suppressed the "academic," when they returned ta their native land.

There waa then a brief, epas-modic effort to reawaken public interest ia professional playing, but It did aot produce very -great results; and the recent tour of Schaefer and Ives waa the climax of the degeneration of hlgn-clas professionalism, which haa been steadily in progress during th past four yeara. 1 Caase af the Decline. The cause for tbe deterioration of flrst-claa professional playing I thus made manifest. It may be argued that it ia all very well to point out the delects of a system, but it Is not so easy to provide the remedy. This may be true la some cases, but not ia this.

Tbe remedy lies In the substitution of a new style which will bring the professional experts of all grade upon a more equal footing. Then more matrhe would Inevitably follow, and the game Itself would ot necessity receive aa added impetus aad beeom what it should be the most popular amusement of the Aa long aa professional billiards la controlled by one or two players, thus forming; a "trust." as Maggioli terms It. ao long will tba present lamentable lack of public enthusiasm ha evraencea, aaa contests grow fewer and fewer aa tha months roil by. and they will boob become Imply a memory of the past, Sloaaon realized that something waa wrong; when he Induced Ivea and Schaefer to join wtta him In abolishing the anchor shot In their three- handed games in this city over a year ago. Ho Perceived that although tbe three greatest player ia the country were pitted against each other, the receipt demonstrated a singular lack of public Interest In their performances.

He concluded that tbe high runs made from the anchor position wearied the spectators, and destroyed all enthusiasm that might exist- Tbe aouadness of Slossoa a Ideas waa fully proven after the people became aware that the style of play had been changed aad high run, of monotonous length, were practically Impossible. Tbe receipts increased rapidly after the anchor waa barred, aaa the spectators openly expressed their satisfaction with tbe change. But even thia devistios front the old rules proved Insufficient. Ives aaa Schaefer' quickly Improvised new systems nf close aarslng. and it ia practically admitted that under no arraagemeat, where the present rule prevail, can they be prevented from doing so.

it must be conceded, however, that what ta now known as nursing along the line is tbe ultima Tfaule. the very perfection of billiard playing. It la safe te assume that whatever changes are Introduced must be regulated so that opportunities can he presented for at least a asoderate die-Play of thia beautiful feature of Use experts game. Ivea Retaalaesl Ountlaate. Whea the Idea of changing the professional game waa auggested several months ago.

Schaefer promptly signified his wUlingaesa to agree ta the proposition, but Ives was not so pliant. Ho was of the opinion that fourteen-inch balktins "as she is played" was good enough for him. and he was going to fight It out on that Use. eves -if It took the balance of hla natural life for hisa to discover that he waa wrong. Thia opposition will doubtless disappear, however, if Schaefer.

Slossoa. Daly. Sextoa, and others ahould agrea upon a new theory, aad give the balance nt tha billiard world of this country a chance ta 'coaae in oa even terms." Tbe Young Napoleon con la not afford, unless he wishes to rstirs from billiard, to refuse to compete at any style ef game which his peers in the profession agree ta, Ta Stay Te-slea 5nlsg.

Wbea both balls are ia tha center spaca ta th middle af th table tbe player may con-. tinne to count as long a he is able to retain ton balls within that space. But if one ball should be forced Into a balk space aad the ether remain la the center, tbe player must force the ball in side the balk line across a tine st each shot, whin la that positioa. and continue 'doing so aa long a it remains in a balk space; vi nether this loea would meet Uie require ments of the situation cannot be determined until it is tested. It ia confidently believed, bow- ever, that it will destroy the possibilities of clom nursing, either by the anchor or along the long and short lines st the rails, as exists under the present rules.

But the propositi oa will not destroy all those fine positioa plays aad short and long drives that are so pleasant to tne eyes ot tbe true and earnest lovers of the gentleman's game. Should this prove to be tbe remedy sa long sought then tbe game would be thrown open ta many piayera who are now practically excluded, and the billiard world would wit ness a revival of public Interest ia the science ot billiards it haa not enjoyed for year.
