HIGHEST RUN is Only TWO.

Records were given hard tussle in the
| match of the Class B billiard tournament
now in progress at the Grand. Mr.. Biebin-
ger knocked one Of them out when he made

for the tournament III the shade.

one innings.
Mr. Biebinger won his game and made
his high average by hard work and bril-
liant playing. Some of his shots were the
finest ever made billiard table and
would be credit to the best cue artists in
the world. In the twenty-fCurth inning he
made five-cushion bank shot, with theN
cue ball frozen. that looked like an impossi-
bic count. He also made a force follow in
the thirty-second inning, making three
cushions on one rail- after his opponent had
played for safety. His five-cushion bank IN
the fortieth. inning. with all three balls
frozen ON the side rail. was the feature Of
the tournament up to date. He was very
strong on all natural angles. seldom missing
a shot of that character. but he was trife
weak on short. across-the-table shots, which
was about the only thing that prevented
him from breaking the worlds record.
Mr.. Mullen was in poor form. with luck
seemingly against him. which accounts for
his low score. Mr.. Biebinger played his old
game of safety to perfection. allowing his
opponent few chances to count. The latter
made very fine drop shot in his twenty
second inning. and also a reverse english
shot in the Ihirty-fourth inning that re-
ceixed merited applause.
The winner of last nights match has but

as an Equal.
JOHNS0N'S TALK DEPRECATED.
"He Is the Only Man Talking
War;" Says the Old Organiza-
tion's Chief. "and He Is
Making a Mistake.

Washington. Nov a2-The Post this
morning says:
president Nick Young of the National
League is somewhat confused by :he latest
expression of Ban Johnson. the American
League magnate. MIR. johnson has been
talking a good deal of late. and in his
latest pronunciamento he takes the situa-
tion that the National League IS prepar-
ing 20 fight the American League
LAS a matter of fact" said Mr.. Young,
1.-The National League has not officially. or
IN any other Way. considered the America2 Il
League Some of the managers and myself
have discussed its formulation with johnson
and others interested in it. But one and
al, have eyinced the iiveiiest sympathy with
its plans and purposes ard nothing has
been further from our minds than the IDEA
OF opposing Mir. Johnson and his asSo-
ciateS. The only man talking fight ls
Mr. Johnson himself. and l think he is
making big mistake In doing so. A fight
might not greatly benefit us. but 1t GER
tainly would put an end TO the American
League and greatly injure the game itself.
'.Ar. johnson seems 10 think We want the
American League to be a minor league and
TO sue us for protection. We have no such
thought. We are willing to recognize the
American League as on an equality with us.
Taking the position he does, he follows 1t
up with remarks uncomplimentarT of the
National Leagues treatment OF minor
leagues declaring that the price paid for
protection is blood money and that but
little II any protection is given. 80 one
knows better than Mr.. Johnson how foolish
such talk is. He knows that the National
League has paid five times as much to the
minor Leagues for players as the minor
leagues paid for protection. II it had not
been for the protection that the National
League exercised over the minor leagues
these players could have been obtained for
ro,hing.
I'VE want no fights. The fight in 1890 cost
81 10000. and the fight in 1891 cost 100000.
Many Of the people who lost the money
Lave never recovered from it, ana the game
itself has not reGaineG Its previous popu-
larity.
Il hope to see the American League e
