THE BILLIARD CHAMPIONSHIP

Second Days Proceedlngs-MCCarthy Beaten by
Daniels, Phelan by MoDovitt, Trawley by
Foley, Tieman by McDevitt, and Daniels by
Harrison
At the afternoon session of the billiard tourna-
ment OF Tuesday the playing was even superior
to that on the opening night. Especially bril-
liant were the games between Mich ael Phelan
and John McDevitt, and Philip II eman and Mr.
William Wicks, the latter one Of the most
expert amateur players in the States.
The tria of skill between champions T.
Mccarthy and L. Dani els the former OF Fort
Wayne, Indiana, and the latter of Boston, Mas
sachusetts, was first on the programme. Il
proved a very exciting contest, both PLAYERS
exercising their judgment quite as effectively az
their hands, in their attempts to place the balls
as uniavorably as possible for each other. Per
haps no game was ever played in which
greater regard for Safety was manifested by
both contestants, brilancy being made alto
gether subservient to strategy.
The consequence was that the game, which
fluctuated considerably, one player being no
ahead and in the next moment the other, lasted
one hour and torty-three minutes and the
average of the winner was confined to nine
points TO a run. The official score. part OF
which is given below, records that Mccarthy
banked six times, nine times played deibe-
rately Tor safety, and five times went into a
pocket off OF count; and that Daniels, the
winner, banked twice. played safety" twelve
times, and once went into pocket off a count

In the game between Tieman and Wicks which
followed, Teman made the handsome run, un-
usually large for full-sized four pocket of 179,
and averaged 81 in string OF 200 points, win
| ming by l89. The game between McDevitt and
Phelan was fitting fnG'e to the afternoons en-
| tertainment, McDeyitt making as his best a run
| of ISL, and an average OF 2Sd, and beating his
| opponent 242 points.
In the evening the attendance was quite large
and eminently respectable, and included upwards
OF twenty ladies'. The great attraction was the
| game between John Frawley, champion OF Ohio,
and Thomas Foley, champion of Illinois. Up 20
| the last hundred these players ran along az
| equal pace, the calls of the marker seldom an.
