SOME FINE PLAYING
Exhibited Last Evening in The
Globe Billiard Contest.

Globe Billiard Contest.
Thayer, the winner Of the Foley tourna-
ment. Glow, Wilder and Estes were the win
ners in the series for the GLOBE challenge
cup at Foley's last evening. AS had been
predicted there were two feature games
Glow seems to havea penchant for downing
favorites. He had defeated Thayer, and last
evening he laid Foley out. Ali this adds to
the excitement of the tournament, and last
evening. despite the storm, there was a big
attendance, and enthusiasm ran rampant
Glow, who had been playing rather indiffer-
ent billiards, pulled himself together
at the last moment and showed
one Of the most dangerous men he will have
to meet in the entire series. 1t is sufficient to
say that Snyder was his opponent. The
oiner battles were Interesting throughout.
The play resulted in leaving only two candi-
Doherty, and either of these are liable to go
to defeat before the close OF the present
week. The story of the evening is:
Hatch won the bank in the first game and
scored buttons, and then Thayer took the
balls in rather bad position and succeeded in
touching up .. Then the game ran along
easy until the eighth inning, when Thayer
ran IL. and again soon after is. But this
seemed to be the end of his run getting
Hatch was apparently little timid and could
NOT extend himself" as they say IN COM
menting upon running races. Thayer won
in the thirty third inning-1O0 to Hatch's 49,
This places Thayer up once more among the
van performers.
Then came on the struggle between two
favorite candidates for the GLOBE emblem.
Glow and Snyder. Both are dangerous per-
formers, but Glow captured the laurels after
he had apparently lost the game frretriev-
ably. In other words. Snyder had only eight
points to go and Glow had twenty-three to
the bad. Everybody seemed to feel that it
was ''cinch'' for the former, when Glow
got control of the worries and ran it out
amidst tremendous applause. This run was
position. and when he had finished the balls
were handsomely anchored on the
rail where he might have clicked
off billiards almost at pleasure. CLOVIS high
runs were % 10. 10 and 10, indicating fast
playing and good nursing. Snyder's high
run was Is, and the game was played in
twenty eight innings.
She third game was a peculiar one 1t
Young Foley, 1t was won by remarkably
omenal runs for FOLEY scored the
high run of the tourney thus far, namely 40,
and the highest run ever made by an ana
teUr in st. Paul in match game. Wilder's
high runs were IL and TO- and Foley's were
40 and 9, and the number of innings were ~
The final game of the evening was won by
Estes IN IS innings against Weisenberg q
winner or the previous evening. Estes
scored 100 to Wesenberg's y, and his high
run was II.
2 This evenings card will present four ex-
citing contests, and once more two scratch
men will bepitted against each other, name
ly, the SO far invincible Doherty, of Mime
apolis, and Bingham. the speedy st. Paul
amateur. This will be the feature, and Bing-
hams admirers are hopefully looking for a
Triumph for his proves. The other games
will 8 lso be fraught with unusual interest as
witness. they will be between Ronald and
Dickinson. Summers and Weisenberg and
Capen and Hatch. Play will begin promptly
at T:45
