ENGLISH BILLIARDS.
A Game Entirely Different From the
American Game-TabIes Much Larger.

A Game Entirely Different From the
American G~ame-TabIes Much Larger.
The great international billiard match
in London between Frank c. Ives, the
American champion, and John Roberts,
Jr., the hitherto invincible champion OF
England, has awakened considerable in
terest on this side OF the Atlantic in the
English game, which is quite a novelty
here. The match which is to be for
1000 points and continue a week, be-
ginning May %, will be played at
Egyptian Hall. The stakes will be
either SIS, 900 or $40, 900 a side, and as
Ives will meet Roberts on his own
ground and at his own game the English
champion will probably allow the push
and spot strokes to be eliminated from
the game, or make such changes as will
place plucky young Ives on q more
equal footing with him.
II the men were TO play the
English game at "evens," Ives

Central railroad. He says the speed OF
the train is greater than the speed OF

To prove it he wants somebody to
time q catcher's throw from the lone
plate to second base and them make an
estimate in comparison with the speed
of that train. l have never heard OF q
catcher's throw being timed, but some
of these days 1 will try TO have it done:

Line is drawn eros. the table where the

line Is drawn across the table where the
spot" appears on American tables, ana
back Of il Is marked = semi-circular
balk line. The men place the red ball
at the opposite end OF the table, six
inches from the rail, and then string
for lead. The player who opens the
game places his ball inside the balk
space, while the other contestant holds
his own ball until a miss occurs, when
be is allowed to begin. The opening
shot for three shown in Fig. Is q IA
vorite initial play among experts. The
cue ball is made to earom on the red
ball and then enter pocket 2. When
the shot is we'll executed, the red ball
will go entirely around the table, fol-
lowing the course Indicated by the ar
rows. and return to It's old position.
This is a 3-point count, and the player
repeats it again and again until q miss
~retires him from play. The second
player then starts from the balk space,
making caroms AID pocketing his own,
the red or his opponents ball and some
times all three. The red ball when
pocketed is always spotted as at the
opening OF the game, and the second
player may shoot at both the red and
his opponents ball, unless the latter
rolls inside the chalk line, where 1t Is
safe except from a carom from the red
ball. A shot that counts six is shown
In Fig. .. The cue ball pockets the red
and goes into the opposite pocket ITSELF
The same count may be made by q
carom off opponents ball to the red and
pocketing both white balls.
BY pocketing opponents ball and then
pocketing the red by a carom seven
points may be made. The l0-shot
shown In Fig. 3 may be made by the
difficult feat of pocketing the red ball,
sending opponents ball into the oppo-
site pocket by q carom and following II
in with the cue ball. Last year w. j.

To the American who can make but

Of success than would Roberts IL the
balk line style Of play were to prevail.
Roberts is such a marvel that be has
conceded 1900 points out Of $4,000 to an
opponent and won, but J. Dawson re-
Gently met him at these odds and not
only won the game but s10,0 900 OF the
champions money as well. Roberts not
long ago offered the enormous odds OF
49, 900 points in "a. 900 to any player
who would meet him. Although Ives
has accepted the challenge, he is not to
receive the benefit OF any handicap, but
the English ball, which Is only 2B
inches, will be enlarged to "a inches,
and the English pocket will be narrowed
seven-slxteenths OF an inch. The pock-
ct will then be one inch wider than the
ball, a fact that will greatly handicap
suck an expert as Roberts, for In Eng
lish billiards about half the game con-

both sides Of the Atlantic.
