Clearwater ended this morning in victory
for Clearwater by a total score of 600 to
567. The result of the two previous even
ings had left the score 4O5 to $40 in Keogh's
favor and with such lead he started in
on the final leg confidently. Clearwater
however while playing a conservative
game, frequently took chances, with the re-
suit that in the first fifteen frames he
won large majority of balls in each
frame. Keogh's lead was cut steadily and
the score soon tied. Then Clearwater
jumped to the front and succeeded in
reaching the GOO mark with Keogh at 567.
