raced the Defender, has become the sole

SEXTON ON BILLIARDS.
The Famous Ex-Champion Says the
Balk Line Must Go.

paiK line billiards, whether it Is Ia, Is
or any number OF Inches, will have to go.
The public Is tired of It, That was pretty
conclusivoly proved at the recent, tourna-
mentor rather first partsof9 tho tourna-
mcnt--hcld In New York Tho spectators
roundly applauded any bod opon table play
and manifested tl&s kccnest Interest there
In, but the moment the players governed
tho balls and want on counting with the
monotonops click, click, cfiek, which two
thirds OF tho 1nlookers could neither hear
nor see that interest faded away. The
spectators ref lized, too, that the fortunes
of the game lay within the control of but
two Of tho players. Ives and Schaefer, for
the FIenchman, GARNER, never was in the
hunt from beginning to end. Indeed, and
say 1t boldly, there are no men In the
world who have ghost Of a show with the
Young Napoleon and the Wizard mt the
present style of play. They have tho balk
line game, whether 1t be IA or 1S inches,
down too fine, and any tournament held
under such rules becomes n hollow farce,
the veriest mockery. Slosson, Vignaux,
Fournil, DAILY, Carter, Plot and myself
have no show In such a game and would
not, OF course, enter tournament held
under such conditions. Two men, or
rather one man-for Ives can defeat
Schaefer In n contest Of endurance st balk
line--thus holds the championship in tho
hollow of his hand, and tho -pnhlia natn=
rally views with apathy any tourney which
may be held.
Cushion caroms, or bold open, skillful
table play, Is what the public demands,
and that was proved by the plaudits which
greeted the clever execution Of difficult
shots by these same players at the second
inning Of the tournament held i'm Boston.
Cushion carons caught the cultured peo-
pie Of the Hub, and it will, am sure, cap
tivate the lovers of billiards throughout
tho United States.
The conditions Of the third and last Sc
ries Of games of the tournament at Chica-
go with IA inch balk line gave GARNER no
show on earth. This is essentially the
Young Napoloon's game. The Wizard
plays brilliantly, Of course, as no always
does, but he grows exhausted after day
or two, and Ives Is always fresh and sure.
So the much heralded tournament resolves
