RadIv Handicanned.

Although few of the spectators real
lied the situation, Conklin attended the
recent championship tournament each
evening after hours of tiresoTne manual
labor in the stereotyping room. His
hands were blistered from contact with
hot metal. His palms were rough and
calloused from much handling of heavy
forms and boxes of type metal. Think
of the handicap he played under when
he competed against men who had
spent the day in practicing for the
evening contest! Some of his oppo-
nents We're men of great wealth who
had billiard tables in their homes-men
like Sigourney of San Francisco, for
instance, who had never known the
hardships of manual labor.

officials state that they are anxious to
have an opportunity to repeat the sue
cess of this year. The well known Han
over club of Brooklyn is at present the
only other claimant for the tournament.
The officers in the national associa-
ton assert that more Roadway has
been made by billiards through the
successful tournament at the Chicago
Athletic association than at any tour
ney ever held for the championship.
The attractiveness of the prizes and
the manner of entertaining the contest

Three Highest Prizes.

The best estimate of Conklin's per-
Torrance may be had by remembering
that he won the three highest prizes of
the tournament. He not only won the
national championship trophy, but he
captured the prizes for the high run
and the highest average as we'll. His
high run of sixty-four was a most cred
liable one.
