innings the play was decidedly poor At
the close OF the 10Th Heiser stood
20 to Garnier's 16 the latter having made five
zeros in succession. neither having reached
two figures except in ono instance when Gar
nier made 10. When GARNER came to close the
18th inning he played in some measure in
keeping with his usual style. but succeeded in
rolling up only Q. In closing the 18th he had
an opportunity to practice rail shooting. or
this he availcd himself. He kept tho balls well
in hand for n while. but having allowed them to
drive nsundcr. by n beautifully executed draw
he got them in train again. Then. with mass6
and simple carrom varied now and then with
draw and follow. and cushion kisses such as he
only can execute. he drew them down into the
lower corner, then led them gently across 70 the
corner opposite. then back again. Tired OF an
exercise that made 1t once in n while necessary
for him to stradde the corner OF the table he
coaxcd the worries up to the other end and after
successfully making his Dinetieth carrom went
