THE BANNER GAME.
Charley CLOVIS Performance in
the Globe Billiard Contest.

Charley Glow did himself proud in
the DAILY GLOBE amateur billiard
tournament at Foley's last evening.
He played the banner game, and won
the applause of tile big audience. And
it was pretty game-a series of scien-
tific shots throughout. Indeed. Jules
Mayer, the professional, after witness
ing the performance, remarked that
Glow is really the only candidate for
the challenge cup that has played a
strictly scientific game throughout.
He met Weisenberg, and the result
was 100 points to the others 55. Glow
made two handsome runs, 33 and 81 re-
spectively. and he finished the struggle
in nineteen innings, tieing the average
scored by Wilmot in the Foley tourna-
meat last winter, and there are good
judges who are willing to wager that he
will do even better than this before the
series closes. In his practice it is MOTH
ing uncommon for him to make his
hundred points in from twelve to four
teen innings, and he has encompassed
them in four innings. All he needs is
..nerve" and he will do some astonish-
ing playing before the close.
Little Frank Dougherty goes romping
along with victory after victory. He
seems to be lnvincible. If he plays
loosely his opponent plays inditferently.
and SO he goes on with chain of un-
broken successes. Last evening he de-
feated Snyder, who is considered by
the votaries of the game one of the dam
gerous factors. Dongherty scored his
100 to Snyder's 90, and this shows that
it was close enough to be mighty excit-
ing. Snyder outplayed his adversary
all through the earlier stages of the
game. but lost his stroke toward the last.
Dougherty's high runs were 10. 10 and
10, and Snyder's highest run was 10.
These were the only games played
last evening, but today's card presents
four interesting contests. In the after
noon at 4sO'clock Ronald will play Sum-
mers, and then in the evening Bingham
will play Hatch, Estes will play Wilder
and Bingham will play Foley. Bing-
ham plays two games for the reason
that he goes out on the road and will
not be back again for several days.
