Hapgood fell for the cameras, an
calm an serene quiet pervaded the at
mosphere, where there usually VIZ
unrest at the start o the season.
We opened at Hayville on the first
first day O. the season, an to say there
was a crowd, is putin it very easy.
All o. HayVille was on the job an no

we didn't worry a bit,

the field, an you could fairly cut the

WALK MILES IN
BILLIARD GAME
Referee Mclaughlin Carries
Pedometer and Keeps
Track of Distance.

New York, April 2S.--Little peculiar
titles and idiosyncracies of professional
billiard players have been exemplified
during the past week of the cOmpeti-
tions in the international championship
tournament. Each of the seven COM
petitors, and they really represent the
most proficient wielders of the cue
ever brought together in one meeting.
has his own pet amenities and ever
sions. Even the veteran referee, Ed
ward Mclaughlin, shows some tricks
+ and characteristics, which occasionally
bring forth the laughter of the crowd
that sit about the table daily in the
concert hail of the Madison Square
q garden. There is a considerable NUM-
Der who attended each of the eleven
matches played during the first week
Of the big meeting, and they have come
TO look for these little traits, peculiar
- to each contestant.
How many miles Referee McLaugh-
lin walES and runs around the table
each day during the two matches Will
probably never be known, but Nc
J6ughlin tells that at 500-point
match some time ago a pedO-meter
registered ten miles for the match.
Few of the spectators realize hoH. care
fully he must watch, not only the
caromS, but many other things. AS an
indication of this, he told the other
day that in one of the matches the
balls had frozen; he was examining
them when he discovered that the
player had his hand upon the cloth and
had used sufficient strength to pull it
so that the balls perceptibly separated
Upon seeing that Mclaughlin noticed
the trick, he raised his hand from the
table. Each game of the tournament
brings out new features, and the kali
eidOscOpic changes form an increasing
procession of interesting events for
the lovers of the game that dates back
to ancient Egypt.
