NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-George Z. Slos-
son and George Sutton played the second
game in the billiard tournament at Madi-
son-square Garden Concert Hall this after
noon. Slosson won the lead and chose the
white ball. He led off with fiuke and SUIT
ton followed, scoring one. Slosson gathered
in two, after which Sutton ran up Zine,
keeping in most of the time. Slosson
made four, playing wide. Sutton's next run
was twenty, a wide carom being used f.
fectively. In the sixth inning Slosson made
a splendid masse play within the line, MAX
ing an ''out and in Slosson passed Sutton
in this inning, making nineteen and losing
the twentieth on a skyrocket Thirteen was
Suttons score in this inning giving him the
lead. daring two-cushion drive finishing
his run and scattering the balls. At the
close of the first ten innings the score stood:
Slosson, 40; Sutton, Sc.
In the thirteenth Slosson ran up to twen-
ty, tying Sutton. Sutton did not score. A
corner carom in the twenty-sixth inning,
that seemed easy, was lost by Slosson. A
run of twenty-four was made by Slosson in
the thirty-third inning. Sutton ran up to
twenty-nine, reducing Slosson's lead to
forty-seven. In the forty-seventh Slosson
ran up to twenty-eight, doing most of the
playing outside the balk line and bringing
the cushions into play. Sutton made des-
perate effort to cut down Slossons lead,
which was growing dangerously near the
one hundred mark, and though his au-
dacious drives, and, at times, clever nurses,
captured the house, he could not maintain
the good work. Another long run
of twenty-nine in the fifty-third car
ried Slosson over the hundred mark,
the score standing 341 to 230 in
Slossons favor. AS the game progressed
Slossons superior skill was visible and
Sutton seemed to lose nerve with defeat
staring at him. In the sixty-eigh:h he
braced up for twenty-four and in the sew
enty-second he had grand rally and made
a run all over the table for fifty-three, a
''skyrocket' ending 1t. The score:

A warm welcome was given to Frank c.
Ives tonight when he stepped up to the
table to begin with Maurice DAILY the third
game of the tournament. On many sides
were heard expressions of the hope that
Ives would break the record of Schaefer's
Chicago run of 116 and so make record for
the newest style of balk billiards. 1t looked
as though Ives's luck was with him. for he
won the lead, but he picked UP only one.
Daily got the first applause, when he gath
eled in nine easily in the first inning Ives
fell down after five buttons had been
passed to his credit, and DAILY got seven.
Ives led with run of twenty in the third
inning. In the eleventh inning Ives made
a run of nineteen which made his score
fifty-seven, while Days stood at thirty
running up twenty-five points, made a tie.
In the thirteenth inning Ives scored forty
two. He scored twenty-seven in the next
inning and later made run of twenty-one.
Daily then showed brilliant work and in one
inning scored thirty-nine. Then Ives had
176 points to his credit and Days record
was 109.
In the twenty-eight inning DAILY, through
a misunderstanding, made shot using the
wrong ball There was slight dispute, but
Referee Mclaughlin settled IL by replacing
the balls where they were at the beginning
of Daly's play; The spectators were d.
vided on this decision, some claiming that
the balls should have been put on spot This
did not interfere with Days playing, for
he rolled up nineteen points. In the thir-
of hide and seek with the network of chalk
lines and gathered in cluster of twenty
six then there was another scatter and the
"sky-rocket" play took the place of the
delicate hair-splitting touches. But the
balls were rolling right, and Ives kept on
until he had reached the sixty-fourth
up thirty-eight more points, and In the thir-
ty-fourth Daily added twenty-four to his
score. Ives followed with thirty. The
