BILLIARDS
The final and deciding game of the
tournament was played last night be
fore a large and enthusiastic audience
at the Northern, ending a series of
billiards which has held the closest
attention throughout.
L. L. James, Jr., acted as score
keeper, A! Peel as tallykeeper and E.
F. Casscl as referee. Only one close
decision occurred and that was
against the winner—a question of two
balls being “frozen.” The decision
that they were not frozen left Brun
er an almost impossible shot on which
he failed.
Followers of the series looked for
ward last night to a close finish of a
hart! fought game and they were not
disappointed. While the game itself
was characterized by slow, stubborn
work, it was nevertheless interesting j
all the way through and was any
body’s game right up to the last. At (
the 102nd inning Bruner needed 6
points and Mathison 7 points. Either
one might have run out in one inning.
As it turned out Bruner made three
runs of two, scoring his necessary
points to win while Mathison failed to
scow. The particular feature of the
game was that Bruner won over
Mathison with a lower average than
Mathis©n’s average of the night be
fore. That simply goes to show that
both played slow, careful billiards and
played to win all the time. No high
runs were made or attempted, the
highest being Bruner 9, Mathison 7.
The final score was: Bruner, 105
innings, total 216, average 2.05.
Mathison, 104 innings, total score 98,
average 0.89. The handicap was
Bruner 216 to Mathison 100. Thus
i Mathison lost by 7 points.
This event closes a most interest
| ing and successful tournament, inter
1 csting because it has held the atten
tion of everyone all the way through,
successful because the players them
selves have found little or no fault
I with their respective chances in the
: method of handicapping. Above all
j many of the contestants are playing
better billiards at the finish than
when they entered the race. The
! prize winners are: Bruner, of Class
A, grand prize; Mathison, winner of
Class B and Evans, winner of Class

LAST COAL CLAIM IN
MATANUSKA SETTLED
JUNEAU, March 24.—'The last of
the coal claims located in the Mata
nuska valley, before the withdrawal J
of the lands for the Chugach National
Forest Reserve in 1906, and which
has been under controversy in the ^
land offices of the government, has ;
finally been settled and the location
cleared from the records.
The Secretary of the Interior has
affirmed the decision of the officers
of the local land office rejecting tho
application of the Matanuska Coal
Mining and Development Company,
for a group of 10 coal claims, com
monly known as the Munley group.
They are located on the south side of|
the Matanuska field. Tho only
charges made against these claims
was the failure of the locators to open
and develope a coal mine on the
claims prior to the withdrawal of the
lands in 1906 from tho forest reserve.
The local office found these charges
were sustained by the evidence ami
j their decision has been upheld by
both the Commissioner of the Gener
al Land Office and the Secretary of
the Interior. No money was ever paid
to the government on these applica
tions.—Ex.

(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CHICAGO, March 23. — Middle
western financiers today were plan
ning the establishment of American
banks in foreign countries as an aid ,
to extending the overseas market ol !
enterprising manufacturers.
Arrangements are already being
made for establishing one in South
America. Illinois capital will be
largely interested. John J. Arnold,
vice-president of the First National
bank of Chicago, declares that it
probably will be located in Hueno*
Ayres.
It is planned to locate the bank of
these foreign branch banks here, as
the most convenient point for the
financial and industrial interests of
the middle west. From twenty to
forty million dollars, it is estimated,
| will be subscribed by from 20 to 30
middle western bankers, to back the
proposition.
The Federal Reserve board already
has recommended to congress that the
bank act be so amended as to permit
member banks of the federal reserve
system and the federal reserve banks
to subscribe for and hold stock in in
stitutions organized for the purpose of
doing a banking business in foreign
countries.
