citing nature. In view of the rivalry be-
tween them a large number of Jersey
City sports were present expecting some
great playing and q, stubborn battle. The
contest between Reuter- and Meade was
the most interesting and the result hung
by a narrow margin. 1t was anyone's
game up to the last three frames when

him in front and he ran pool with a run
of 4, winning by 6 balls.

reduced that lead of 80. and quickly chang
ed it about, and in seven frames by some
remarkable runs gained 90 balls and ran
