BILLIARDS.
CATION To PLAY AUSTIN.
Famous Chicago Player and "Par-
sons Wonder" Matched to Meet
at ROYAL,
BILLIARDS.


w. II. Cation, the Rock Island Won
der" considered by many billiard experts
to be the greatest three-cushion player in
the world, has been matched to play
Frank Austin Of Parsons, Kas, at the
Royal.
The terms of the match call for game
Of 80 or 100 points. to be played at Johnny
Larcarri's Royal Billiard Hall. Sixth and
st. Charles streets, January Z.
Very little Is known here OF Austin's
power with the cue, but those who have
seen him play, say that he Is marvel Of
the baiZe cloth.
At the bank game, which is the one the
players have selected to test their merits,
Austin is said to be a wonder.
A local billiard player. who has seen
him work, said of him last night:
He has a marvellous faculty for figur-
ing out difficult bank shots. At the bank
game he has few equals. OF course, in
playing Cation he will meet an opponent
OF wide experience and wonderful ability,
but I believe he will give to Cation the
greatest game of his career"
Cation has not been playing billiards for
durng That fme
That he still possesses his wonderful
stroke and keen judgement of distance
was shown at the Royal last night when
he rolled off the most difficult shots with
apparent ease.
Cation began his playing career in st.
Louis. Twelve years ago he could have
gotten backing from st. Louis men for
any amount of money to play any bill
hardest In the world.
Cation has played all the famous GUESTS
In America and has never been defeated
in a match game even up"
He has defeated such players as Frank
MaSgion, Eugene Carter, Thomas Gala
CHER and Ed Mclaughlin.
Vignaux, the French player, said of him,
after watching him play In q Paris tour
nament:
He is the greatest billiard general
America has ever sent to France"
Cation and +. De Nun Smith, who Is to
play in the American amateur champion
ship tournament at New York next Feb
ruary, will play six exhibition games in
blocks Of 800 points at the Royal, begin
ming tomorrow evening.
Cation will prepare Smith for the New
York tournament. Smith thinks that he
will make all the Eastern players hustle
to keep him from winning the emblem this
time. The Liederkranz Club, where the
amateur championship tournament is to
be played. has hung up the Eagle Cup"
and $500 in prizes for the contestants.
the list of entries for the tournament
includes Wilson P. Foss of New York,
present holder OF the title Poggenburg of
New York, Doctor Mail Of New York, C.
+. Conklin of Chicago, the 1902 cham
pion; Charles Norris of Milwaukee, Sigour-
ney of San Francisco, Artie Townsend and

TOM CORBETT'S LOGIC
ON CORBETT-HANLON BOUT.
Brother of James j. Picks the Out
slider as the Best Man on Whom
to Bet Next Tuesday Evening.

One man from San Francisco who admits
that he is all at sea as to the outcome of
the pending Young Corbett-Hanlon battle
is Tom Corbett, brother Of James ]. Cor
bett, who is now stopping in this city.
Although Hanlon is good little man
and Young Corbett a wonderful fighter,
cannot pick and choose between them. He
states that he considers their respective
chances so good that he believes the only
slider.
II see that the odds make Corbett r.
to-5 favorite," said Tom yesterday. while
Hanlon is II to 10 in the betting. New, so
solute toss up. Under these circumstances,
1 would bet on the outsider, where the
odds are, slightly in my favor
THE boys have fought one draw.
Graney is good referee and knows his
business. I believe his verdict was cor
rect. They will enter the ring. or ought
to do SO, in good condition. So it is hard
to separate them.
There is no use talking about Hanlon's
victory over Yanger and Young Corbetts
battles with the same man. These last
fights took place when i Coroett " was mot
sble to size the men up except by their
own battle. and that was thought to be an
even break.
deduction is to bet on the man where the
odds will be in your favor. You will get
II to 10 by taking the Hanlon end. In
case the odds switch before the battle and
Hanlcn becomes the favorite, would ad-
wise betting on Young Corbett.
II look for one of the hardest battles we
have yet witnessed in that particular class
and think that Tuesdays battle will go
down in ring history as fast match.
Speaking OF his brother Jim's prospects,
he confirmed the statement that the form
er heavyweight champion was going to
settle here.
Jim will be at Peoria. ILL.,. on his the
atrical tour next Saturday he said. land
may drop across to this city. He intends
to locate here for the Worlds Fair. but
his exact place Of business has not been
decided. He may open a cafe in this CITY,"
