NEW GAME OF POOL.
Matches Are Played After the Man
ner of Progressive Cards.

Denver, Colo. Feb. IA new style Of
pool competition called progressive rota-
ton pool is in vogue here. Manager
Ellis. Of the Kenmore Billiard Parlors.
conceived the idea for the new game.
Since its adoption the game has met with
great success. A tournament is now in
progress there with more than twenty
fast players competing.
As the name suggests, the games will
be played after the manner Of progressive
card games. The contestants, matched
in pairs on twelve tables, commence play
at a signal. and continue until the game
on the first table has ended. when all
stop at once. The winner at each table
moves up to the next. and the loser re-
mains. Three games will be played each
Friday evening for month, and at that
time the man with the most games to his
credit will be awarded the prize.
A feature CT the contest, and one that
cOmmends itself TO pool players. is the
fact that rotation pool is to be played,
which is conceded to give every one a
good chance 20 win. No charge will be
made to the players in the tournament.
