When Ely shoots he knows exactly
what his cue ball viii do, and he shows
that he has this much to be desired
knowledge. De ORC knows as much as
Eby in this respect, but he doesn't
show it. De Orc will take one swift
glance at a group of balls call a num-
Der and a pocket, and with a sudden
move, before even the most knowing
spectators are aware of his intentions,
he will send the cue ball into the hud-
died balls, and the ball he named will
shoot into the pocket like a lightning
flash. To be brilliant pool player
must be able to do things of this sort.
De ORC makes up his mind in an in
slant.

..rhe New campanini.H

''The new Campanini" is the proud
title which Frank Pollock. the Ameri-
can tenor, endeavors to live up to. Mr..
Pollock recently returned to this coun-
try to sing leading roles in Herr Con-
reds Metropolitan Opera House pro-
auctions. He comes from the Royal
Opera at Stockholm, where he won IA
vorable mention.
To Mr.. Pollock's credit it may be said
that he is the first American tenor ever
placed on the Metropolitan Opera
Houses salary list. This is an unusual
recognition of native vocal talent.
When we hear that an American singer
achieves the same distinction. without
having had what is considered the nee
essary experience Cor trip abroad, then
indeed will we be truly astonished.

Another Difference.

Another point of difference between
De ORC and Eby is to be found in their
methods of actual play. De Orc de-
lights in intricate combinations, in
problems that would puzzle even Eby.
When the balls are punched after the
break De ORC will invariably find a
possible shot. and he will execute it so
accurately that the onlookers will jump
out OF their chairs and applaud. Eby,
on the contrary. rarely takes such
chances. He prefers the Safety to the
open" style of play. He will send his
cue ball gently against one of the
punched object spheres and draw the
white ball close to cushion. He pre-
fers to let his opponent do the break
ing, trusting that the latter will miss
and leave an opportunity for a careful
man to @clear the table"
Against the average pool player Eby's

De Orc will probably take on Keogh
in his next match. Hueston was de-
feated by the Cuban in St. Louis last
year. but the Missourian's friends opine
that the kid" (as Hueston is hest
known) has a few tricks up his sleeve.
De Orc was in his best form when
playing against Hueston. giving what
experts pronounced the greatest exhi-
bition of good pool ever seen. Some
ldea OF the Cuban's ability may be had
when it is known that his favorite pas
time is to play fifty or no count, .
which means that unless De ORC runs
fifty balls continuously he viii not
count any of the balls pocketed.
De ORC has held the Championship
longer than has any other player. He
has been defeated several times, but
soon regained his lost honors In a.
tournament in ST Louis for the cham
pionship Ely defeated De Orc in their
game, but De ORC captured the tour

In her memoirs, now publishing, Sa-

pressing her opinion. She says that

actress. The courtesy of the well edu-
Gated man vanishes before the foot

would render a service to a woman in

her on the stage. He would risk his life
to save her from any danger in the

BOXING BILL FOR CHICAGO.

like the work of sensible sports. The

even to be considered in the campaign
for a new boxing bill. Prominent Chi

methods are invariably successful.
Against De ORC, however, their in
tended effect is lost, for the Cuban's
skill is such that he seldom misses a
combination. To pool players De Oro's
swiftness in Sizing up a situation is
nothing short of uncanny. He seems
to have some psychological gift denied
to his associates. Personally De Orc
is one of the most affable of men. He
is as square as a die and can always
be depended on to play his best.
