Shots and Shooting Without
Usual Care.
CHAMPION is IN DISTRESS

= NEW YORK. December 2l.-Despite q
rot OF misses that spoiled his efforts, John
DAILY. the challenger, led Alfredo De Oro
the champion holder. last night by count
ing fifty points at three-cushion carom
billiards to the latter's thirty-five. The
match was played in John Doyle's Acad-
envy OF. West 42d street, and marked the
first block of three to decide the cham
p.onship.
Daily completed his string in seventy-five
innings. His best run was seven. backed
by run of five. De Orc had only
seventy-four turns at the table and his
highest run was three.
The cue work of the challenger. who
has previously held the championship for
this style of billiards, was at all times
painstaking. Persistency was the key Of
his playing. On the other hand. De Orc
appeared often to shoot carelessly. He
missed easy shots and made difficult ones.
Once he shot with the wrong ball at a
critical stage, which cost him dearly.
Another time he jumped the cue call off
the table to the floor. He seemed agitated
much Of the time. as he was never sue
cessful at gaining the lead.
De Orc Fidgety.
De Oro's fidgety tactics began as he made
his string shot for lead. He rolled the
ivores about and declared they were lop-
sided. Four new sets were brought out.
Finally the champion selected three balls
to his liking. Then there was another
string for lead. This time DAILY won, and,
selecting the white ball. he opened, miss
ing the regulation spot shot by four
inches. The champion began by counting
pretty round-the-table carom of five
cushions, which he followed by safety.
In the second and third innings De Gro
counted one each time up. Both were
variations Of doubling the cushions in the
corners by the use OF english.
DAILY began his scoring on his fourth
turn at the table. He made two by nat
ural cushion caro1ns. On his next turn
the challenger counted three. The second
was the gem, being a close follow around
the table for the count. This placed DAILY
in the lead. He PLAYED consistently de-
spite the safety Of De Orc. and il was
only by two great shots in which he
smeared the cue ball with english that
the tally was balanced at nine in the
thirteenth inning.
Once more DAILY forged ahead. He was
faced by the hardest Of problems. for De
Orc never left a set-up He kept gath
ering the points one by one. and it took
fourteen innings for De Gro to catch
The champion worked out three great
shots, in different innings. in pulling up.
The first was a three-cushion bank to
kiss for the carom. Then came a pretty
doubling shot in the upper corner and
last, an end rail maneuver in which
the cue ball travelled twice across for
the count. This was the shot that bal
anced the score.
Good Lead for Daily.
During the following turns at the table
the champion failed to count. He skinned

so. 1 will not say positively that Murphy
presented the resolution which relieves
him of ever giving his athletes their

owner to make such presentations as

MADERo UNlNJURED
And Is Planning to Strike Anothe

San Antonio. Texas, Nov. 2S.-That
Francisco l. Madero is not only moi
injured, but that he is safe in the
Laguna district organizing his forces
is the news brought to his family by
a courier who comes direct from him
The man, who is native of Mexico
City, though he has lived a number
of years in San Antonio. says that Ma
dero is safe and well and is at pres
ent gathering his force near Laguna,
in the Laguna district, near Lerdo and
Parral. This district lies in a fertile
valley surrounded entirely by noun
tains, and the courier states that for
the present Madero is safe, since the
surrounding towns, such as Lerdo,
Parral and Torreon, are friendly
Madero was not wounded at. any
time, says the envoy, and is constant
ly gathering allies to his standard.
Among these are said to be high gov
eminent officials and a number of
wealthy young men from Vera Cruz,
who have thrown in their lot with
Madero. who, declares his envoy, is
confident of success. In case the
worst comes to the worst, though, says
the courier, who acknowledges he has
come on mission. though of the ma
ture Of which he will give no hint,
Madero can always get out to the
Pacific coast and be out of danger
before he can be bounced upon by the
federal authorities.
AS far as the confiscation of the
Madero estates is concerned, the cou-
rier states Madero is not much con-
cerned, since the bulk of his interests
are in the hands of friendly Ameri-
cans.
How long the man who comes from
Madero will remain in San Antonio is
not known, but he declares that he
will return to Mexico, and to his
leader, Francisco l. Madero, just as
soon as he has completed his mission.
