SUTTON STILL CHAMPION;
CONTEST IS A CLOSE ONE.
Ora Moringstar Proves To Be In Much
BETTER Form Than Recent Match
With Demarest Would Indicate.

George Sutton of Chicago, is still the
champion billiardist of the world After
a close match at Orchestra hall last
night he defeated Ora Moringstar of
New York by a score Of 500 to 472 in
their contest for the 1S.2 balk-line
title and the $1,000 stakes. The winner
was in doubt to the very end, when
in his twenty eighth inning Sutton ran
out with his much needed bunch of
eleven points. Sutton averaged IL "a
rs, and Morningstar IT 1927.
Contrary to expectations, after his
mediocre showing against Demarest at
Mussey's, Morningstar made Sutton
fight from start to finish, and though
he never quite got UP he was always
dangerous, and caused the portly
blonde champion no end of uneasiness.
The latter played we'll for thirteen in
ming, but after that he hit the tobog-
gan for fair. and his average suffered
accordingly.
