ilards on the Main street tables last
night, when Wintrodc and Rowell came
together in the amateur tournament.

was exciting. The score was 10 to
80. Waller and Bcckwith will he the

the anHtcur pool tournament had been
pne of all victories, received his first

The score was 70 to 10. Garrett and
Nlcrs will come together tonight.
