Taylor Of Chicago last night in the third game
of the 1872 balk line billiard tournament for
the American championship in the New York
Theatre concert hall. A slow opening by
both men quickly gave way to briskness.
Cline culled three bountiful double figure
runs in succession, namely. a.. 45, and 81.
The third was characterized by def nursing
and other close maneuvring. The last count
was a clrcuitous masse with the object balls
close to the rail and the cue ball below both.
Taylor's response was a zero. and the total
was l45 to Il in Cline's favor.
Taylor made a whirlwind five cushion shot
starting his fifth inning. Tit cue ball slid
past the second ball on its first rush. but swept
into a far corner and came back for a deferred
count. After making six double figure runs

tinued to maintain a long lead. Taylor
played the balls wider than Cline and did not
control them as well.
