POOL TITLE 10 KEoGH.
Is Officially Declared the Champion of
America.

America.
Buffalo. N. Y. April 6.-Jerome R.
Keogh of this city has been formally
awarded the title of champion pool
player of America. H. A. Beeny. local
representative of the firm which gave
a diamond medal emblematic of the
championship, in the presence of
about fifty enthusiasts in Keogh's par
lors in Main street, read the letter
formally awarding the championship
title to Keogh.
1t will be remembered that De Orc
last fall in st. Louis, in a series of
games for the title of champion, de-
feated some of the best players in the
country. Keogh was his nearest op-
ponent finishing second. Some time
ago the Buffalo boy challenged De Orc
to a match and the latter accepted.
Both deposited $3.50 as a guaranty of
good faith and then De Orc asked for
a postponement of the match, claiming
that on account of an accident to one
of his children he could not play for
some time. Keogh refused to accede
to this and a majority of the sporting
public thought he was right. He then
made a claim for the title and has
been awarded it, besides the forfeit
money of De Orc.
