age was > 20-56, with high runs Of 32 q and
IS. Clark finished with an average OF
I io-56. and his best runs were 33 q and 70.
After winning the bank shot for lead
Clark began well. although the two players
finished their first hundred points on even
terms. BY dazzling assortment Of cushion
shots Clark forged into the lead in the sec
ond hundred. He rolled the ivory globes
prettily, even II more widely than the re-
quirements Of balkline necessitated. When
he was successful I'm assembling the balls
on the end rails. as Clark was in the nine
teenth and twenty-ninth innings. he worked
out runs respectively OF ~ and r.
OF the two. Conway was manPuvring for
the closer balkline. Finding the balls in
an excellent position, he clicked Off run
OF q on his thirty-third turn al the table
that advanced him 10 the front Two in
nings later Conway put together II. then
lapsed for an inning and counted a. Again
he fell down for an inning but re-estab-
lished himself with a brilliantly played
cluster of g. During these four runs Con-
W rIgvad ppCitfof, Ifa
ball drives and his use of english 10 the
cushion were Of high order Of excellence.
Twice in the last mentioned run he deftly
made use Of the masse, the globes being in
difficult positions in the corners.
Clark came back at Conway with run
OF 80. but he failed TO overhaul his oppo-
nent, who finished with a good margin TO
spare.

BY putting together a run OF 2s on his
last turn at the table Mark Muldaur won
the twelfth game of the tournament in the
evening. He defeated Walter Leonard. of
Scranton, Penn. by 300 to PSI.
Throughout the game, which developed
considerable interesting bak line play,
Muldaur trailed behind. Leonard appeared
TO have victory within his grasp, as on his
final turn he coaxed the worries TO the short
rail and was weaving out the carroms in
easy fashion. lie slipped up on a draw
shot after counting II. and Muldaur begin
ming from an unpromising leave. succeeded
in counting 2S by clever position work.
The winners average was 55-6l and his
best runs 2s. p and 70. Leonard averaged
il-60 with high runs Of y. p and p.
