The game was one OF the best exhibit
tions of pool that has been seen In these

two men are widely different. Sherman
uses a careful. cautious stroke. striking
the cue ball softly and seldom resorting
to open play. Stewart. on the contrary,
uses shorter stroke and is quicker in
his movements.
Sherman broke, scratching and Stew
art ran six balls. From then up 10 the
tenth frame the game was closely con-
tested Sherman being the leader in this
inning by "A 20 So. After that the Wash
ington man took a decided lead and was
