PLAYERS NOW IN A TIE
Atkins Defeats Fales at Bill
lizards by a Score of
100 to 91..

The fourth game of the Fales-Atkins
billiard match, at Gary, ended in a vic
tory for the latter by the score of 100
to 81. Both men now have two games
each and the game this evening at the
Club billiard parlors will decide who
gets the S25 presented by the house.
The game last night was one of the
best played in the series. Fales at
times was more brilliant than Atkins.
but the latter proved to be the most
consistent and steady player
The sensational run of the evening
was made by Fales, who made eigh-
teen points, and the next best was that
of Atkins, who clicked off fifteen be-
fore a hard shot ended it. At the start
of the game it was seen that Fales was
little too sure of winning and was
unsteady. Atkins played one of the
best games of his career and could not
be stopped at any stage of the game
The billiard tournament will not be
started until tomorrow night and the
drawing will ltake place tonight.

Eislers' Store Robbed.

The police were last night advised
that an attempt was made early Sunday
morning to rob the Eisler market on
Pennsylvania avenue. The entrance had
been effected by crawling over rear
transom, and was evidently the work
of small boys as nothing was stolen
but few packages of tacks. Small
shoe marks were found outside the door
which prove to the police that the work
was not that of experienced crooks.
