hand pocket. Roberts got the balls at
the bottom cushion, and proceeded to

seemed to be III good form, but Roberts
got the balls on the lower cushion, and

which Is barred i'll the gan.e, managed
TO get 81, when he missed diff
cult carrom. Ives made 62. Roberts
then compiled IL and made safe

ertS got 2, and Ives followed with II.

venth inning was Roberts 143, Ives SO.

the worries clicked merrily down the
cushion. Ives scored Y. Roberts made
