THE pALY-DoS GAME
The second game OF the Afternoon between Joseph
Dion and Maurice Daily II was begun At four O'Clock,
and coming right the heels OF the game made SO
brilliant by young Sextons play, it suffered materially
In the eyes OF the spectators, 1t deserved, for
time but it in the end proved TO be exciting.
Neither player seemed to be at his best the start
and when the tenth inning completed the score
mood 81 for Dion for DAILY The score the same
inning between Sexton and Slosson was l59 to
made 26 by excellent play, and the
turning point from feeling OF nonnterest in
The game the part of the spectators was made by
which gave him l79-Just l0g points head Of his
opponent BY expert play he made 10 in the next in
hlng, aud had to give the inning there by playing
Or safety, which, however. did much disconcert
Dion, whose pay-the hrst shot he took on Day's
Baiety "lay being along the cushion from end to
Of the table and across, and which loudly
lpplauded-ylclded hIm a well deserved IL. He found
The balls badly scattered when he entered his nine
teenth inning, and tried very hard to get
them In bunch, but luck In this respect

hne shots most Of them at long Until the six
teenth inning reached DAILY played rather care
lessly. In this inning he made IA and closed his
played finely the twenty third inning, scoring ~,
and Dion failing to count, having only IS TO run out,
be made only g. being a little too confident ia his
ability TO make very puzzling shot Dion scored "a
10 his twenty sixth inning, making his score IN the
game stand l60 toDay's 2Sl Dion hauled consider
ably by getting the balls into the upper left hand
Of the table in the twenty ninth INNING where he kept
them together with surprising SKILL Once or twice,
to get position, he had to send the
red ball up the table, but he shot II
where he wanted ii. He 81 in this inning
before stopping thus placing himself within p points
DAILY The latter a little 1urried by this
pected gain Of his opponent and missed badly when he
tried to count He made in the next inning TO Dion's
The excitement was intense at this stage and half
