But if three cushions became the
principal game, there would be six

Billiard luck never had a better eN-

cushioned match between led Ealhes
Of Boston. and Alfredo de ORC, of New
York. Could De ORC have won that
match the trophy would have been ms

had carved the word victory on the
Prize There is no denying that Eames
played a brilliant game. and deserved
his victory 1t was one of the pest
games that Eames ever played, or any
one else for that matter. Eames has al
ways been very proficient at cushions
and he has certainly perfected his game
in a mastery manner. On the othei
hand, De ORC with the exception OF the
final nights play, never showed more
disappointing game. He was out OF
form, and in addition to that, wasted
many opportunities in the first two
nights by his safety play. He got back
into his stride in the last nights game

The new system of three nights play,
of 500 points a night. for championship
matches, will receive a thorough test
in the matches between MornlngStar
and myself in Pittsburg at 1872, and
with Sutton in Chicago at 1S.1. 1 am
confident that the public will be pleased
with the new plan, and there can be no
question but the players VIII like it.
Nothing will be left to luck or chance,
and the man who has the greatest en-
durance and skill should be declared
the winner. One night of play is not a
fair test, as one of the players might
have an off night and be unable to
play up to form. With two or more
nights before him, he can go ahead, and
if he possesses skill and courage can
make up the lost ground.
