Three games were played in the Jersey
City Athletic Clubs pool tourna ment
Saturday night. 1t was an interesting
display of skill by the star performers
who made a high average. Pretty shots
were frequent and the spectators
~enthused. There was not much in the
contests to arouse excitement. me
players who had the benefit of the handt-
cap could not keep up with the fast game
of their opponents aud their scores were
low.
Auuess had the sixtieth and last ball In
when King, who played a fair game, was
six short on his string. He had 80. This
makes Auness prominent in the race for
the first honors. He has won four and
lost one. Charles BowIy put up n last
game and completed his score of 90
when Houston had 90 balls to his credit.
Gubelman, too, was in form and quickly
pocketed the worries, and when he hld
reached his limit, So, he was 23
ahead of Toffey. This game was on
the schedule for February Is, but was
postponed. Vaudeville and Brown were
to have played on Saturday night, u
