Ru. responded with like number. John Randolph
added MORE and Ru went TO the table with the re-
mark. loud enough to be heard by all in the
room. ''I'll bet so to 40 win this game"
1t was the first public utterance that

score stood-Rudophe. 35: Heisor. IL. The latter
marched confidently to the talje in the fourth

tho lower short rail. and nursing them finely.
When 20 had been compiled Rudolphe shouted.
"Time! time!" heiser looked around surprised.

man knows am deaf. and wants to take advantage
of me"
'.Go ON. You shall have your rights" replied
Dion.
'That's all want" quietly said John Randolph.
''and hope to get what is due me-" Then the Bos-

there were not more billiards and less talk.
"Go onl go on AL right! right" now shouted
Rudolphe in triumph in having broken in so satisfac

claimed .'no count" Referee Dion was appealed to
s'He counted" answered that official Heiser sat
down amazed, but suddenly getting up. he said.
Fine show I've got TO win this game: I've already
'Get another referee if you don't like me-" said
Dion.
"Well. don't like your decisions" responded
Heser, ''and object to you a referee"
With this Dion left the referees seat. Still
Rudolphe continued playing Get q referee" he
cried, 'Get reteree can't stay here all night
Rudolphe did not stop playing until Heiser. point

"And claim" returned the Frenchman. 'you

"you be ze referee. then" cried Rudolphe; "you

small piece OF chc-k from the cloth. Heiser cried
'foul. but Rudolphe persisted in playing.
''rime!" shouted the referee, "until decision is
given"

Then the spectators began to make comments and
there was much confusion in the hall.
The referee read aloud the following rule:-
Is. 1t is foul the striker when he has the balls

This done. tho referee decided that Rudolphe lost
the inning with 80 points.
