him off his stroke in his billiard game
with MacManus (6O) last evening in
the Bijou tournament, and the result
was that MacManus added another
victory to his string. Cation started
off with a rush and soon had half his
points, while MacManus was collect
ing less than 10. The latter then COM
menced to play to leave the balls in
difficult position for Cation after each
miss, and, as Cation expressed it, left
some that his father, the world cham
pion, would have failed on. In the
meantime MacManus was clicking off
a billiard or two each inning, and he
finally secured his Goth billiard when
Cations string showed SO.

Hampton Q001 and Eddy 600 play
