The pool and billiard tournament
at the Commercial club last evening
consisted of only two games of bill

Noa Ilfeld was the victor by 25

field and was won, after a hard
fought game, by Stubbs by the mar
row margin Of points. This was the
game of the evening and some very
fine shots were made by both players.
There was no pool played as the
tournament has dwindled down to
the two final players Sidney Barth
and Sam Pickard. who will play their
game as soon as the two final bill
liardists are decided upon.
Tonight at the club rooms there
will be two games of billiards but the
players are not positively decided up
on yet. In all probability the first
game will be played by H. B. WELLER

be played by Geo. Stubbs and T. n.
The games are gradually
nearing the crisis and the next few
days will possibly see the victors.
