Days favor He made 81 in this run by
good Judgment and care, and then marred

superb cross shot twice across the table to count

line DAILY in his twenty-filth played handsome
fine shot from the right upper corner all around
the table, and punched the three In the
same corner beautifully. During the game

When the last game OF the evening commenced
ness Ubassy's extraordinary execution but It so
happened that he did not play nearly so wen
as on Tuesday night. Joseph Dion was the
French ivory twsters opponent and won the lead,
making of the spot. Ubassy followed for two.
In Dions twelfth inning there was great deal Of
mate OF power and IL resulted In q run
of % Ubassy followed IT with Al
singular skill he displayed in mis- draws and the
marvellous accuracy with which he either kept or
brought the balls together Dion, IN his twenty,

seemed TO get in trouble, for he could
nine innings, while Joe was slowly creeping up
after him. and 'the Old Man" lost hts nerve COM
pletely, as the audience seemed restless when
he failed to do something extraordinary.
In tba twenty-second inning Ubassy missed Qf
ever man missed in this world and claimed a
count, which was not allowed. Ubassy was dis
satisfied, however. and Joe turned to the audience
and, extending his hand, asked, "Did ne make itY"
Joe scoring s. In his twenty -nlnth inning Dion
again played safety, but Ubassy counted amid
tremendous applause On his thrtieth inning Dion
had scored one and made second, but the referee
allowed claim Of foul on the ground that the
saOt was push The shot d,,v. was ans as
the referee was unquestionably in error.
IL unnerved Joe some, who up to this time had
given Ubassy dangerous chase, which the old
man clearly felt to be dangerous. Then some low
rufllans in the audience, wearing the sartora
disguise of gentlemen, began series OF brow
beating annOyances towards Dion. IL was cowardly
In the extreme thus to attack man sneak fashion
In the presence OF a large audience, when all his
nerves were highly strung In delicate and critical
contest. At last Ubassy, In his thirty third In
ming, formed all the balls In heap OF
nervous miss by Joe. The old man scored
q by play then missed, but counted by
an awful scratch on the return OF the ball and went
In for long run Of ss points. While he was max
