THE SPORTING ARENA.

Tho proposition of certain billiard
experts to Introduce cushion with
curved corners has met the approval of
most of tho great players.
For number of years tho ordinary
straight rail WAS played by the experts,
and 80 mcthodically did they play tina,
i'll the early eighties runs of 800 and .lOG
were common. The first long run was
made by Ed Mclaughlin in n match
game with the late Randolph Hciscr in
Philadelphia, whoa he scored SOL points.
which concluded the gamo and created
record. The climax was reached when
Jake Schacfer, i'll match game with
McClcery i'll Frisco, scored 1000 in an
unfinished run. McCleery had only
scored 10 points when Schaefer gathered
tho balls together and ran 1000
The straight rail style of playing then
became so easy for the experts that the
corners Of the table were chalkcd off
diagonally. so that hugging tho rail was
an impossibility, excepting between the
lines of demarkation. This game was
soon mastered, and cushion caroms were
proposed. Then came the balk line
game, lines being drawn six inches from
the cushion, only certain number of
shots being allowed within the boundary
line. Experts gallopcd over these OBJ
staclcs very rapidly, as they did the s
inch, 10 inch, IA inch and the 10 inch
lines.
So much improvement has been shown
by tho experts of late years that nothing
seems to stop them from scoring almost
at will. 1t is under these circumstances
that move has been made to render
scoring still moro difficult by the use OF
the curved cushions.
