that, having no orders OF nobility

Brilliant Pool Playing Expected
in Match with Keogh.

Alfred De Ore viii attempt 10 win the
worlds pool championship from Jerome
keogh here this week. The clever Cuban
is a two-time three-cushion billiard cham
pIon, and owns a collection of pool cham
pionship emblems. having held the title no
less than eleven times in the last twenty
two years.
De ORC made his first appearance in pool
in a tournament played in this city IN
f8S. From that time up TO 1908 he was
kept busy defending a title or playing chal-
,enge matches About three years ago he
came To the front as a three-cushion play
or. and has since played pool only occa-
sionalIy. retiring temporarily from the
game after his defeat by Thomas Huesron
IN 1905
Keogh demonstrated in his last TWO
matches with Hueston that he was entitled
70 the honors that De ore would now wrest
from him. The bovish Rochester expert is
the personification Of perseverance in his
style of playing the game and his persist
ency in challenging. Hueston defeated
keogb four times IN succession, but has
twice failed 10 repeat his former triumphs.
In match play Keogh has never defeated
De orc. and if past performances only are
considered then the Cuban will win this
time However. Keogh has improved as a
match player. and many believe that De
Oro is not as clever at the game as he
was ten years ago, although in his practice
matches last week he performed brilliantly
Keogh won his first tournament in 1880,
when he was a kid He and De Orc first
met IN a title match in Chicago in 1893
Since then Keogh and De orc have played
each other in several title tournaments
and matches, and the former has yet TO
win one Of those games. De Oro beat
Keogh three times In defence of the title.
and IN the ST. Louis championship tourna-
rnent OF ls04 he defeated the Rochester man
and Thomas Hueston in a play-on OF a
three-handed tie. Again IN 1905 the Cuban
challenged Keogh and won the tile
Kaogh once took the title from De ORC on
q forfeit but never won il in actual pIay
Keogh has been working hard in Rocb-
ester for this match. which. ne realizes. is
the most important he has played since he
last won the title-he Is a four-tim. cham
Mon De Or0 met the best local exnerts IN
mis- exhibitions last week at Doyle's Acsd-
