SECOND PLAY=0FF GAME IN

The second game in the play-of of
the tie for first prize in the Tuxedo
billiard tourney will take place tonight.
The contestants will be Himmelberger
and Fougner. The latter has already
won n game, defeating Willy Koch
last Friday night, Should he win to-
nights game the title will be sewed up
for him. Himmelberger comedies a
handicap of forty-five points in 200 to
F%ougner, and he will have to be in good
form in order to overcome this handi-
cap and win, as Fougner is playing in
rare form just now, and nay make a
runaway race of it. At all events it
should prove one of the best games Of
the season and the player with he
greatest mount of nerve will probably
win. A big crowd is expected to be on
hand.
