SENSATIONAL END
TO BILLIARD GAME

CHICAGO. H., March lin one of the
most sensational games of billiards ever
played In national amateur tournament
II. A Wright of San Francisco defeated
Calvin Demarest of Chicago yesterday af-
ternoon. by making 1919 points in the last
two innings. He had a high run of 1871
beating the best previous mark of the tour
nament-1l2-which was made by Poggen-
burg of New York, and getting a tie with
Poggenburg, at 10 l4-lS, for the high sin
gle average.
The rafters of the Chicago Athletic Club
house have seldom been shaken as they
were by the cheers of the four hundred
persons present when Wright cut into the
medal winning class. His shot that tied
the best previous high run of 112, a long
draw at difficult angle, was the occasion
for frantic cheering and waving of arms
Until the run was stopped every shot was
the occasion for a demonstration and the
outbursts of applause continued while he
made his run of ~. which finished the game
In the next inning.
No work less marvellous than that done
by Wright would have given him A victory,
for Demarest played the best billiards he
has shown in the tournament He finished
with an average of 10 1917. At the end of
the sixteenth inning he was 159 points
ahead of his opponent, who had gathered
only 101 up to that time, and II seemed i'm
possible for him to be defeated. At the
end of the fourteenth he had an average of
a little over ~, the result OF a run OF iO
which included balkline nursing clever
as ever was done by amateur.

Why don't the giants of the ball field
and the little men form teams and play a

Select two teams, one composed of BrOb-

it would be hot battle between the two.

First Triple PLAY.

The first triple play of the base ball sea-
son of 1905 goes to the credit of the Pea
cock Preparatory School team OF Atlanta,
and was made the other day against the
Atlanta Southern League team In the lat
ter's opening practice game. The lad who
started the triple action performance was
Shortstop Camp of the Peacock aggrega-
ton. The play was made in the first in
ming. The Atlantas had two men on bases
lson on second and Fox on third and 1t
goes without saving nobody was out.
l,af1tte was at the bat and pummeled a
peppery liner over short. At the crack OF
the bat the base runners got under way
Fox crossing the plate in no time. But
there was an awakening in store for the At
lanta base runners. Camp leaped up in the
air for the liner. and, TO everybody's sur
prise. brought the ball down with him. The
catch disposed of the batter, and it was
easy for Camp to shoot the ball to Waldrou
at third and retire Fox. Waldron fred the
leather to f Camp at second base before
Ison could let back. and that completed
the triple play.
