IVES ON LONG RUNS.
He Describes One of the Most Difficult
Feats In Billiards.

Frank C. Ives, the world famous bill
liardist, In speaking Of long runs, said
recently: "Do you know that it is one
Of the hardest things in billiards to
pass a record run hung up by your op-
ponent in a game? Now, supposing
the high run is 200 and you set out TO
beat it. Everything goes smoothly I'M
Til you get within 10 points Of the 200.
Then a strange quiet settles over the
spectators, and you can almost
hear your heart beat. AS you pro-
coed slowly this feeling becomes
more oppressive, and a faint ripple of
applause here and there only intensifes
it. II you reach 100 in safety, you will
find the two hundredth shot the hardest
you eve faced, even If the balls are in
perfect position. The two hundred aud
first is just as hard, aud it's 10 to l
you'll go all TO pieces. II a prize de-
ponds upon the high run, it is all the
more difficult"
in spite OF its difficulty, Ives recent
ly performed the feat he speaks Of. In
the Chicago match, after Schaeier had
made a new worlds record Of 343 points,
Ives got his stroke and made the I'M
precedented number OF 4JG points.
