Cation Wins


Billy Cation, the Rock Island boy
who was one of the principals in the bill
lard event of the season played in Chica-
go Friday and Saturday evenings. won the
game on Saturday night, or rather Sun
day morning, 10y some of the most bril-
liant plays ever witnessed in the Garden
City. His poor playing on the opening
night discouraged many of his friends who
were not initiated and on Saturday it look O.
ed like a brilliant victory for Mclaughlin
The PhiIadelphian had 1900 points to
his credit and Cation but 43G, so that
Mclaughlin started in with a clear lead
of !, 1874 and the balls were spotted Just
where he had left them on the previous
night and Mclaughlin st rted in to do
up his plucky little competitor, but he
work and scored 522, 254 and 392 as his
largest runs. and number of smaller
ones, and Mclaughlin run 17j and 16S as
his best, with a number of minor runs,
so that at twelve o'clock the score
stood: Mclaughlin 2,2O4. Cation l., S37.
Cation then went to work in that cool,
nervy way of his and made the best score
on record, with the exception of Nc
Glaughiins run of the previous night.
Getting the balls on the rail he punched
them around the table rapidly, occasions
ally making an all around the table shot,
until he had counted up 933. He only
lacked ten more points to beat McLaugh>
Inns great record of 942. He missed q
difficult masse shot at his 934th play
| The score now stood Cation 2,993, Me-
Laughlin 2.303. The Philadelphia mar
was noticeably nervous as he picked up
his cue to play. He saw the hopelessness
of his case and only made four points
missing an easy shot. Cation came for
ward with grim smile to finish the game
He had only seven to go, and in this, tn,
nintieth inning he run The necessary sew.
en- and won the game He was cheereC
loudly as he made the last shot ant
his friends by the dozen rushed
forward to shake him By the hand Ii
was remarkable game, and the brilliant
| plays of both the contestants show thai
they are sure to prove the champions a
all kinds of billiards some dav, while
Cation is sure to be on the top. Winning
this game makes it possible for Cation to
carry out long cherished plan to visit
Europe and cross cues with the cham
pions of the old world at straight raj
billiards.
Mr.. HI. Symes, the tri-city champion
billiardist returned from Chicago last ev-
ening He says the game was the finest
thing in the way of billiards he ever saw.
