star the winner or the lnterciub Amateur
Tournament.
J. Byron Stark and Frank Keeney played the
final battle for the silver trophy in the interclub
amateur handicap tournament at Maurice
Daly's Academy last night. The fact that
Keeney had defeated his rival in the regular
games added greatly to the interest in this con-
test, and the Crescent star had lots Of hackers.
Stark started the battle with q regular rush
and was repeatedly applauded for clever shots,
but Keeney was not to be outdone in skill, and Q
complicated kiss" shot that he executed in q
break Of 10 was noisily hailed as tho best shot"
In the close and hot pursuit that followed.
Keeney caught and passed his rival. But the
two were even up at 20. and Stark turned the
hundred wire first with a double-fgure break
of 1s.
Keeney cleared the wire later with n cluster
of II, making his score lis TO Stark's 100. The
latter brought down the house with n dazzling
masse on the rail, and was once more ahead OF
his handicap, the score being 159 to 1873 in his
favor.
The Crescent youngster outspeeded his skilled
rival on the finish of the second wire and round
ed IL in q break of 20. with n total of 206 TO
200. against 2l2: 1t was anybody's game on the
honiestretch. and Stark won in great style. He
carried of the trophy and Keeney got the second
