enty-fve and over great many times
the past few months. Frank Thayer,
Charley CapOn and Bingham have also
developed marvelously fast. and they
will soon show that they have that IN
herent talent that is prerequisite in the
billiard player.
Dickinson, who had perhaps seldom
ever scored ten points, made run of
twenty-five in the tourney, and Snyder,
Wilder, Hatch and Weisenberg are
coming very rapidly. The laiter's speed
Is worthy special comment. He only
began playing billiards few months
ago, and he came out of the tourney
with five winnings to his credit, where
as it had been confidently prophesied
by the savants of the game that a string
OF ZerOS would be his record. He has
an intuitive idea of the greatest game
on earth, and his prospects are excel
lent. But this is depression. A fore
cast of sporting events was the object
OF the article.
The play in the tie for the elegant
lointed cue in the DAILY GLOBE bill
lard tournament Will begin this even
ing. Frank 1hayer won the second
prize, costly set of cuff buttons. and
this and the cue are prizes offered sec
ond and third men in the tourney by
Tom Foley, who has had the active
management of the series Oh behalf of
the GLOBE. AS stated. four candidates
quit the tournament tie for third
place. They are Glow, Foley, Bingham
and Capen, and the play-ofT will require
six games of 200 points each. The
game this evening will be between
Foley and Capen, and betting is even
OH the outcome.
The event for tomorrow evening will

lenge cup to Howard Estes, the popular
clerk of the Windsor house of this city.
The presentation speech will he prOba-

1t is the aim of the GLOBE to have the
American game adopted for the GLOBE
bowling tournament this winter. That
is to say, instead of playing three balls
for each inning Irrespective of strikes
and spares, that strikes and spares shall
be noted. 10 be more explicit, should
the player knock down the ten pins
with his first ball he retires, and the
fact is denoted by two parallel marks
on the score board. This entities him
to add the ten scored to all he makes on
his succeeding two balls, and the same
system is followed in case OF spares,
only he can add only TO the pins dis
placed by the first ball succeeding. 1t is
considered in certain circles rather
more scientific, and it is American, and
therefore should be played by Ameri-
cans. Hence notice is given, and the
young men of the Twin Cities are in
vlteu TO prepare themselves for such
play. 1t will probably be some time be-
fore the tournament Will be inaugurated,
but entries will be received at any time.
The trophy will be far richer than the
one given by the GLOBE and won by the
famous NuShka athletes last winter. 1t

admirers of the sport. and big money
will hinge on the outcome, as it is said
