THE Big MATCH.
America Has Not Had q Bill

vIeNAUx TOOK PART THEN.

Tho Ncxt Tournament VIII Ne Held In
Chickering Hall, New York. and II Will
ne Participated In by siosson, DAILY. Seq
ton, Ives aud Helser.
America has mot had a professional billiard
tournament since 1855, when Maurice Wig.
naux, the celebrated French player, visited
these shores and did battle with the experts.
The result Of that tournament showed that
this country could moro than hold her own
with the most expert Of tho foreigners, and
although vignnux made an excellent show
ing he could not vanquish the Americans.
Commencing with Feb. 20 and continuing
for wcck, Chickcring hall, in New York,
will be the scene of action for well arranged
professional billiard tournament between flve
Of the n,ostexpert wicldcrs Of the cue Of this
country. The players are George +. Slosson,
Maurice DAILY, William Sexton, Frank Ives
and J. Randolph Heiser These men vary
very much In experiences, nge and style Of
game, and indications are that the tourna-
ment, partly for those reasons, will DO un-
usually interesting.
The style of game played will be what Is
called the "balk line and with the excep'
ton Of Slcsson. eight inch balk lines will be
used. Slosson will play fourteen inch ballr

interesting for the spectators to watch, as
they eau see nothing except the veg slight
maneuvering Of the balls The balk limo
style requires open table shots to bc played,
and as those are always interesting 10 the on
lockers, any style OF game which will pro-
duce them Is popular for tournaments.
Tho reason that the balk line style is much
harder to play aud produces moro open table
shots Is as follows. The baii lines ARE drawn
parallel with the cushions eight inches from
the latter, or In Slosson's case they will bc
fourteen inches The rules Of tho gamo are
that in making every alternate shot a ball
must he driven outside Of the line. II can be
seen at u glance that this efrcctually stops
rail nursing, for even though the result Of u
shot brought the balls together on the rail,
the player can make but one shot with tho
balls so gathered and in trying the next ono
he must drive either the cuo ball or one OF
the object balls outside the halk line. This
last shot may bring the balls on tho rail
again, when he IL allowed TO make one with
them there, but tho next shot after that must
send one OF tho balls outside again. II Is diff
ficult to make long runs In bnlk line game,
and the wider the space is between the cush-
ions and the line, Just NO much harder tho
game Is.
Slosson, being the best player among the
intending competitors 'or tho coming tourna-
ment, Is handicapped on inches In the balk
line. Tho difference between the eight and
fourteen inches Is much greater than tho ma
jority Of billiard players, not having noticed
much the balk line style Of game, would sup.
pose; but the experts having decided upon
this difference, 1t must be taken for granted
that all will have an equal chance. Thirty
days nfter the New York tournament the
some players will take part in ono in Chica-
go. The handicappng for this one will be
| by points In place Of lines
The players have agreed ON fourteen incl
ball line, and different number of points vii
be apportioned each one to make. II cannot
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1890-01-04

makes cannot be performed by any one else.
His sharp, snappy stroke enables him to put
great deal OF twist on the cue ball, and tho
evolutions he can make 1t go through are
wonderful. He, like DAILY Is q good match
player, and when hard pressed plays close
game which is very hard TO beat. Some say
he plays better when behind than when lead
ing.
J. Randolph Heiser has been conIidered an
expert for about ten years, and Is now In the
nelghborhood Of SO years Of age. He Is liable
10 play very strong game, and equally
liable TO 90 all apart He is very much like
SlossoI in temperament without possessing
Slossonis experience. Heiser has very pc,
culiar stroke, and il has been JosinSly called
. orana vins twist front viaw ~ his sfrs'ka

would lead one to think that he could not BE
anything, hut such is not 90, for his record
shows that .e has played some wonderful BIZ
liards In his time. He IL playing better now
than ever, and since this tournament was nrse
proposed he has kept rather qriet and prac-
ticed steadily 1t would be foolish TO pre-
dict where he will finish.
Frank Ives is the youngest Of all the Amsr.
lean experts. He has been out only about
four years and Is now 25 years OLD he \
quite different in build from the other En-
pcrts, being a large, heavy man, who. when
he plays Slosson, will make the latter appear
like pigmy. Ives gives greet prcmtss of
eventually being remarkable billiardiss,
and the fact Of his being considered almost
as good as the other American experts now
speaks for itself. He created some cnthusi.
asm during tho last year by the wonderful
form he showed at the game, and prediction
are numerous that he Is tho coming billiard
player OF this country

CLEVELAND, O., March 3-The Weddell

wide corridors are thronged tonight. The fol-
lowing delegates to the meeting. which begins
tomorrow. are already here: John B. Day and

John T. Brush, indianapolis; A. G. Spalding,
Chicago, and n. E. Young, President of the
League, Washington. Representatives, from
Washington, Brooklyn, Cincinnati and Phlla-
delphia will arrive in the morning.
The Schedule Committee. consisting OF
Soden, Spalding and Nimick, met at IL o'clock
to arrange a table OF dates for the season.
Their work was in the nature of a report to be
presented at the regular meeting tomorrow.
Each of the three members of the committee
had prepared a schedule. and the meeting was
for the purpose of deciding upon which to rec
ommend for adoption. Nothing could be
learned regarding the dates assigned the differ
ent clubs, as the committee thought il best not
to make anything public until after it has been
fully determined how many clubs shall const1-
tute the League this season. 1t seemed to be
the general opinion Monday morning, that
there would be no change from the present
makeup.
"Ihave prepared regular ten-club schedule"
said Soden, who is Chairman of the committee,
''and 1 believe Messrs. Spalding and Nimick
have done likewise. We have all experienced
more or less trouble in arranging things to suit
everybody Win ten-CluD league DuI guess
we have it fxed now so that none of us will
have much cause for complaint. If such
thing a reduction in the number of our
clubs should be determined upon Tuesday. we
can fix up an eight-club schedule in short
time"
Il received personal letter from Anson yes
terday," said Spalding, lin which he told me to
be sure and not take back single one of the
old members of last years Chicago club and to
sign no more men at all unless can run across

show you the letter from Brunell to Young and
get a statement in reply to it.
Manager Schmeltz, of the Clevelands, came
up from Columbus this morning. He is bub-
bling over with confidence in the Leagues
ability to make short work of the Brotherhood.
Secretary Hawley and Treasurer Howe, of
the Clevelands, resolved themselves into an i'm
promptu reception committee to wecome their
fellow magnates to the birthplace of the
Brotherhood. The million dollar" offer was
generally laughed at whenever the subject was
mentioned. The prevailing opinion seemed to
be that the whole thing was bluff. The dele
gates who have thus far arrived all seem bent
upon business. and il is the general understand
ing that this is to be the most important meet
ing the League has ever held.
