Secure Victories.

of sensational nature marked the third
session of the professional tournament

ship yesterday at Madison Square Garden
Concert Hall. In the afternoon game
Calvin Demarest. the youngest player in
the tourney. scored a brilliant victory
over Albert Cutler with an unfinished
run of 1913. turning a practical defeat
into brilliant victory. This unexpected
ending was duplicated in the evening
contest, when Harry P. Cline of Phila-
delphia took the measure of George SUIT
ton of New York. Cline's victory was
perhaps more sensational than that of
Demarests At the end of the nineteenth
inning the Philadelphia was 1871 points
behind his opponent, while the latter was
showing exceptionally clever cue work.
Cline made spectacular run of Jag, in
which he executed nearly every known
and several hitherto unknown shots. He
followed this up with several other clever
runs which seemed to take Sutton's
nerve. and won out by 81 points.

Play Was Slow.
The first few innings of the evening
game between Sutton and Cline were
productive of little of moment. Up to the
seventh inning the two players kept well
together, there being little to choose be-
tween them. Sutton found an opening in
the eighth essay at the table. and pro-
ceeded to take advantage of it, He play
ed careful conscientious billiards, meas
uring his every stroke with a nicely and
accuracy for which he is famous. He
held the spheres well together and play
ed superb position game. He made
one bad stroke as Referee McGraw called
$780, and experienced considerable diff

and Sutton played from spot. 1t was
poor shot, and closed his run, leaving
the balls in a good position for his OPP
ponent, who piled up IS points in ex-
cellent style. He executed a brilliant
masse and then missed a comparatively
easv hank shot
In the next six innings Cline added 14S
buttons to his score. his best contribu-
ton resulting in run of IS. which was a
brilliant series of shots. He missed his
sixty-sixth shot on a kiss just as he
seemed set for a long run. Sutton dur
ing this time added 20 to his string with
33 his best individual contribution. The
respective scores at the end of the four
teentE inning was Sutton. $50; Cline, 1913.
Cline's Big Run.
The play again hung for several innings.
although runs of 81 and SO by Cline and
33 and 3S by Sutton somewhat relieved
the monotony. In the eighteenth inning
Sutton got the worries under control and
with a contribution of 30 carried his total
we'll past the fourth century. He fell
down on an easy shot. Cline followed
with a magnificent run of 146. During
his entire contribution he occupied tn,
lower end of the table and although fire.
quently in trouble, he managed to gather
the balls after Il couple of efforts. Dur
ing the run Referee McGraw did not
change his position more than three feet.
Cline's one hundred and sixteenth shot
was long masse which was splendidly
executed.
This gave the Philadelphia confidence,
and with runs of 80 and 81 he defeated
the veteran after hard-fought game by
q points. The score:
