masse shot around an object in the center
of the table, striking two balls in the other
corner of the same end Of the table. One of
the most striking of the hundred or SO fancy
shots he made was done with tile hat
borrowed from one of the audience. First
he made the balls jump into the hat one
after another, and later he placed ball on
the top of the hat and jumped a ball after
it had hit another ball on the table at the
side of the hat, making it hit the ball on
the hat as squarely as if it had been on the
table
Another jump shot that brought down
the house was one in which he made the cue
ball leave the table and knock ball out of
Mrs Shaw's hand, held at least two feet
above. Then he sent the cue ball flying
down the table to the other end, whore 1t
struck the cushion and came back in the air
like the ball from baseball bat.
One display of his power followed the
other SO rapidly that 1t was difficult for the
audience to keep track of them, and almost
impossible to tell how they were accom-
plished.
The Champions Play Together.
One of the most interesting features of the
evening was game between Mr.. and Mrs
Shaw. The lady is the acknowledged cham
pion lady bllliardist of the world. and she
played straight four ball game against her
husbands cushion-shot game. The lady
was the victor and she handled
her cue almost as skillfully as
her husband. No very long

was so simple. To Shugart belongs yester.
days defeat, and there is no getting away
from the fact, but to abuse the young man
because of his error will not make things a
bit better He is good player, and what
he did is likely to be done again many times
by the best players in the country.
A Splendid Crowd Present.
There were nearly 1000 people at the
game The weather was very threatening,
and it is not untrue to say that a better
game was never played on a ball ground.
The brilliancy of the contest intensifies the
regret of losing it, and the performance of
the Chicago players only throws more dis
credit on them because of their dishonest
work of Thursday
Yesterdays argument was a matter al
most entirely between Hutchison and Bald
win, the two pitchers. They were both out
to win if they could, and at a critical mo-
ment one of Baldwin's colleagues made a
mistake that ended the contest Baldwin
pitched a splendid game and so did Hutchi-
son. What the public call luck was some
what against Baldwin, but despite that he
kept on doing great things And of course
Hutchison did the same. Ten innings were
required 10 seltle Tile question, anu Tue SET
tlement was against the home team.
In the third inEing the visitors made a
run that soon began to look as big as a
pyramid. Hutchison made a two-base
hit and he got to third on a sacrifice by
hittridge. Ryan made q single and
''Hutch" got home.
The Sluggers Tied the Score.
The fifth inning came before any more
runs were thought of and then the home
players tied the score. Shugart started off
with a two-bagger to left and after two
men were put out Donovan's single scored
the run.
the tenth inning came and each side had
only one run. The local men had their
half of the inning and made nothing. Then
the Colts took their turn, and Ryan led off
with a three-bagger. He knocked the ball
in between Kelly and Donovan. Baldwin
struck Parrot out and everybody thought
that not run would be scored. Little
Dahlen was next at bat and he sent an easy
grounder to Shugart. The latter managed
to fall all over the ball, and as a result
Ryan got home with the winning run and
the excitement was ended
Gaffney umpired a good game, and the
contest from beginning to end was one of
the best ever seen here. The score:
