Since the departure of Dan Voor-
HES from the city several years ago,
| Keokuk has had nc really great BILL
lard players. BY that is meant play
ers who have attained skill above the
ordinary run of players found in near
~ every hamlet and city in the coun-
| try. In speaking with an old-timer a
short time ago the writer was inform
ed that in the early days-about 1865
and 1S75-there were at least four or
five followers of the game who could
rival in skill, if not excel, this late
/ city champion. However, the game as
VOORHEES, played 1t gave spectators an
insight into the remarkable degree
of perfection surmounted by some of
the best experts of the country He
won many honors throughout Iowa
and will long be remembered for his
ability.
1 There are enough billiard players
in keokuk at the present time that
a few paragraphs about the game
would not go entirely unread. The sew
eral clubs and public billiard parlors
have their daily visitors. not, however,
as plentiful as they used to be-
Billiards offer greater oppor-
tunity for strategic calculation
on the part Of the players than any
other pastime, pool included. There
are many qualifications which play
er must have and many things which
he must master to attain any skill
whatever. Nothing is more beneficial
possibly, than frequent playing, as is
| the rule in almost any game
Precepts That Are Useful.
| In the study Of the game of straight
billiards many players absolutely dis
regard position play. This one feat

First-Don't shoot hard unless
there is a specific reason for doing so.
Let the cue ball just nicely reach the
carrom ball (second object ball). This
Tive" ball is dangerous. Generally
speaking, shot that caves your cue
ball far from one Of the two object
balls is a bad shot.
Second Seldom, almost never,
drive both balls.
Third-Don't drive unless you have
te.
Enthusiastically avoid the long
drive IL the short drive is even al
most" az good. A percentage OF
chance is always against you on long
drives, even when they look simple.
You cannot tell about the last few
inches Of the balls course in long
drives. A ball driven lengthwise OF
the table has twenty o, more feet to
go, and the difference of An inch in
its stopping place may mean the diff
ference between good and bid po-
sition.
Fifth-Make up your mini before

l. j. Wolf, president of the keokuk
Bowling Association, presided last
week at a very interesting session CT
court for the purpose of passing on
the protest filed by Captain Publisky,
of the Seibert team, the game being
the one played between the cigar men
and the Seal Skins. From all the
evidence taken during the session the
judge could not but rule in favor of
leaving the victory stand in favor Of
the Seal Skin team. ard it is remem-
bered that the score sheets showed
that club to have won by II pins.
while Publisky claimed errors in
scoring. Here was the testimony:
Captain Publisky: Captain Henne-
man took the sheets.
Captain Hennemann: Captain Pub
lisky took the sheets.
John Sarofin, scorer. Carlson, OF the
Seibert team took the sheets.
And right back comes Carlson
with: Scorer Sarofin took the sheets
Thus We have a direct conflict in
the testimony of both parties to the
action and Judge Wolf was compelled
TO pay little attention to this evidence
While an error was found the mistake
did not justify him in throwing out
the game
The standing will remain the same
as that published in this paper Friday
afternoon.

in the league last week. They were

scores recently, one series being in
