The long looked for game for the diamond cham
plonship cue OF America, between Albert GARNER,
the little Frenchman and Maurice Daily the favor
ite American, took place last evening in the Tam
many Han, Fourteenth street. What added zest
to the game was the fact that ST. 900 was also one
OF the contested points. As the hour approached
when the game was to be played, the large hall
tthe scene of SO many glories, political and other
wiseJ began to oil up very quickly. The same
scanolding, which had been erected last summer
for the tournament in Irving Hall, used on this
occasion and gave space for about 500 persons be-
sides which the gallery was quite packed with
deeply interested lockers on.
At a few minutes before eight both the players
stepped up to the table and were greeted with
great applause, neither seeming to be more
favored than the other in the good graces OF the
audience. Both looked fresh and ready for good
work.
Mr.. James Bennett, OF Canada, was chosen as
umpire for GARNER, and Mr.. T. Flynn umpire for
Maurice DAILY. The umpire was wellknown
sporting man. The same marker who distin-
guished himself in the three. ball tournament was
again chosen to that onerous position. The audi
ence was an orderly one. and had 1t not been so
the crowd OF blue-coated officials would have made
It so.
The game began precisely at eight GARNER win
ming the lead and playing his ball into the lett
hand cushion. Daily followed, scoring 8. GARNER
then took hold OF the worries. and in pleasant
easy sort Of way, made q run Of Sc. Daily then
scored ., playing very poorly and with lack Of
vgor which made his friends look blue. GARNER,
on the contrary, developed nne spirit and energy,
which brought forth several rounds of applause.
Daily, however, on his fourth inning scored 81 and
brought up the hopes OF his admirers. GARNER
followed, however. with runs OF 63, SO and 49, DAILY
ming - At this POINT & the score stood-Garnier $40;
DAILY. ia. From this time forward the play was SO
poor on ootn sides as rs,, to merit o no par, par,
but little applause GARNER played with an
easy consciousness Of victory making MS little
shot which brought the admiration OF connolsseurs.
GARNER, IN the thirteenth inning, nursed the balls
carefully, occasionally coming down to one OF his
brilliant round the table shots, and managed as
to let In good run OF 1to, the largest which had
900 800 h behind GARNER, piayed up 81 braveiy vel and was
getting down to his work well when his opponents
ban went 10 the pocket ne s. Ioilowed t thls up
but missed the subsequent shot, scoring ST. Garn-
ier followed with had miss. Daily then made II and

remarkable execution or indeed, anything to be
compared with the play which they developed
| while practising on the last few days preceding
| the match.
on Daly's twenty third inning the aspect OF
things somewhat changed. DAILY. on the opening
| OF his play made round the table shot which
brought the balls together in the lower left hand
corner. Here, by dexterous nursing, he kept them
In position UNTIL getting the two reds side by side,
he nursed them up the left hand cushion, then
against the lett nand cushion and bringing them
| down again. When he passed the first 100 the
audience cheered and appauded ana Daily went IN
play, which was watched with the most
intense interest brought himself up within
dangerous proximity to Garnier's apparen tly
sailable position, and went out OF bad mess after
scoring run OF 24s. The announcement OF the re-
suit was greeted with immense applause, which
continued Tor several moments. The score here
stood-Daly, 626; GARNER, Gs7
Garnier was not to be discouraged. however. and
went in TO make run, only scoring 81 and Daily,
again taking the cue, played a brilliant nursing
and, after two or three small scores either side,
the brilliant little Frenchman brought in

Daiys best run. Then followed some very MUD
play on both sdes the two combatants exhibiting
bat average ability and not coming up to the mark
oil their regulations Garner however, made two
runs OF 66 and still further widened the breach
between them. Az the game went IL was evident
that while GARNER was growing jubilant over his
good fortune Daily was getting discouraged not
only by the turn things were taking, but by the
very "hard luck" with which he was playing.
This appeared to demoralize hlm and he looked
annoyed and nervous though he str0ve hard TO
keep this latter feeling down. At the end OF the
fortieth inning the game stood-Garnier 1304 and
Daily 90d. This difference at such critical period
OF the game seemed to be decisive and DAILY got
still further III the tantrums, playing even in
differently. At the next count GARNER made 60
and made his score 1,406. There was want of
enthusiasm, however, In the audience simply be-
cause the result was too certain to allow OF q
moments anxiety. DAILY at the next inning made
8 ana GARNER followed with q run OF 49, DAILY
again plucked up courage here and went in to do or
die. He played beautiful inning scoring Ill,
amid great applause. Here the excitement rose
once more, and GARNER only scored3. When it was
that Daily again handled the balls with his old
vim there were some who stil hoped, aud when
Daily scored 1873 the feeling was at fever heat. But
DAILY missed an easy shot, and Garnter went In and
won.
GARNER s now champion OF the world at the
the United States at the tour ball game.
