LONG DRAWN OUT GAME
SEVENTY-SEVEN INNINGS TO MAKE
400 POINTS AT BILLIARDS.
S~igourney Defeats Miller i'm n Slow
COntest-MinI Makes High Run,
but Loses to HendriclS.

NEW YORK, Feb. civilian II. Sigour-
ney, of San Francisco, the amateur cham
pion of the Pacific coast. defeated DR.. Alb.
Miller, of this city. in the A. a. U. Class A
billiard tournament at the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club tonight. 1t was generally
expected the game would be close, and that
both players would make a high average,
but instead of this the game was long
drawn-out, the Californian having TO play
seventy-seven innings before he had count
ed the desired 400 pionts. The Western
player was handicapped a good deal by the
temperature, which was uneven, and the
worries did not roll to his liking, but during
the game he showed marvellous power Of
Judgment as to speed, and the accuracy of
his masse draw shots was frequently APP
plauded His stroke was rather hard at
times, but he soon learned the speed of the
table and some of his gathering shots left
nothing to be desired. His opponent, DR..
Miller, gave another exhibition of his Won
derful cushion carom work, and, in addi-
ton to this, his gathering shots were ex-
tremely well judged and frequently
brought about results. The game ended In
favor of Sigourney by a score of 400 to go.
Following is the summary:
w. H. Sigourney-Total, 400; average.
5 III. High runs: 81. 80, p, %, %.

Referee-W. r. Bracken.
The afternoon game was the most spir-
tied so far of the tournament. 1t was be-
tween DR.. L. l.. Mial and John A. Hen
drick. both of New York. 1t was won by
Hendrick after a wonderful uphill game.
Hendrick was over three hundred behind
at one time, but. having made 149 points in
twenty-nine innings, he began TO pick up
and overlook his opponent rapidly. Making
the most of every opportunity, he steadily
closed the gap on DR.. Mial and finally, with
a run of IL, won the game, with DR.. Mail
having only 4 to go. DR.. Mial eclipsed the
previous high run of the tournament with
a cluster of 20 by good nursing. Following
is the summary:
