National Republican., 1883-03-29

had mado 50points, the audience gave him the
heartiest announcement thus far accorded.
His fine play continued until the eighty
fourth shot, which broke the audience all up.
The balls were in line, and according TO the
understanding of the audience spherical
miracle would have to be performed if a count
was made. Vignauxs accomplished the feat
however, and the noise was dcafening. An
other shot was madc, and then another, when
suddenly Daily claimed % balk, three shots
having been made while the balls were "in."
The audience Missed and groaned at DAILY
action, and DAILY looked quite uncomfortable.
The balll was allowed by the referee uncon-
tested by Vignaux. The decision was Just,
and after the next inning was explained to
the audience by Mr.. Cowles there evidently
being doubt in the spectators minds as to
the fairness of it, Nignauxs run of Sc turned
his second hundred by "a. DAILY followed
with only.
Vignaux did himself proud in tho twenty
first inning His play was careful and exact,
and he worked his mouth with almost as
much facility as docs Long John Wentworth.
When he had scored 63, having turned his
third hundred and brought his count to "a tic
with that of Daily, the audience marked the
event with vigorous cheers, as it also did
when SO was reached the number of his pre-
vious large score. Vignaux run but three
better than this. making his run 80 in all.
DAILY tackled the balls with determined air,
and as he proceeded his friends began to hope
that he would again come TO The front. After
scoring 25, however, he made miscue and
failed 10 count. His ball even then had the
right direction, but didn't have the "legs" to
get there. This left the score one behind
that of NignauX.
His superiority in play was followed up by
VignauN in the twenty-second inning, adding
G5 to his score, brin ging the total to within
one of 400. Early in tho inning ho made
perhaps the most difficult shot of the game
His ball was close In the corner, with one of
the other balls almost directly in front of it,
The other was two feet or moro away and al
most in line. A count was made by masse
of very pronounced order. Daly's nerve
appeared to be weakening, and he began to
play apparently with much less confidence in
himself lie succeeded in knocking out but z.
1t was in the twcnty-third inning that the
greatest interest centered, not because Of any
clOscncss in the game but on account of tho
extraordinary fine playing which VignauSe eN.
hibited. II was simply beautiful. The man
ner in which he brought the balls together
from difficult positions, and by the neatest
possible dexterity, was the admiration of all.
The shot which struck the audience in the
funnybone the hardest was one where the
three balls were together, almost, If not quite,
touching each other, and nearly in n line
Niguaux made one or two breaks toward
making a masse but catching the eye of one of
the players, he signifed by a fat chuckle his
appreciation of the difficulty of the situation,
and of the fact that lie had almost made fool
play. By playing his ball into the corner it
counted neatly on the return. His run in
this inning reached the remarkable number
of l61. Many of his shots brought out ap-
plause and deservedly, for they exhibited a
skill not often seen. Daily showed what he
thought of himself in comparison with his
competitor, after this big run, by scoring only
two points
The remainder Of the game was dull and
uninteresting, DAILY making some fairly good,
though intellectual efforts to regain the lead,
but the odds were too great, the Frenchman
easily winning by n run of 90 in the 30th
inning.
The gcOrp was n c fnlIoyva.
