and all eyes were directed to the two
brilliant amateur contestants and
Thomas-as they took off their coats
and started into the contest. At the
start. Glow seemed the favorite, and he
took matters easy. Thomas went at
the game as coolly as he would light a
cigar. There were in all sixty-six inn
ings played, and the game opened at
BIO, not closing until about 9:45.
Whenever either player tended to run
up his score, the appreciative specta-
tors were not slow to reward him with
their piaudit. The sangfroid with which
Thomas moved around the table seemed
