the hope in those who believed in him that he might
add another TO the victories already won Deery,
on the other hand, at the commencement OF the pay
did not do "a well as could fairly have been ex-
pected OF him, but those who knew him best were

Rudolphe, two Chicago men. IL was one OF the most
interesting OF the series. Rudolpne had won two
and lost none and mad In hls favor the pres
tige OF success. Snyder had played two games and
lost one, but had shown so much skill that the match
promised TO be close one. Though many were as
sured that there could be but one result-a victory
for Rudolphe-yet Snyder was not without hackers.
The game was opened by Snyder. but he did
not count. Rudolphe on his first inning made
three and snyder again fa ell TO count. Then came
Rudolphe again, who made forty-two points. The
lead that he thus secured he maintained for twenty
Innings making an excellent average, while Snyder
had the III luck 10 have much poorer runs than was
usual for him. On his twentieth inning, however,

up to i00 and the cheers given him were Of the most
enthusiastic KIND. Up TO this time Rudophe had
maintained the most ImperturbaDle gravity and an
assurance almost sublime. But when snyder had
made lJJ points and seemed IN a fair way 10 make
as many more r,,n ne Gegan ase s,,,nn n

and the cha ( OF his cue. snyder mad the balls on
one corner OF the table IN space not above loot
square, aud, without getting ball out OF this limit,
run up his $50 the great uneasIness OF Ru
dophe and to the highest satisfaction OF the specta-
tors. When his score stood az $50 he had 10 send
one OIL the balls across the table, but the rebound
brought It back TO It's place In the little group amid
renewed applause He kept the balls together, until
