Cox failed to hit, and thereafter it was all Clark's way, and he soon had the game run out.

 Champion Beaten.
 Clark disposed of two of his hardest adversaries Wednesday when he beat Cox and in the afternoon when he won from Bosworth. This game was quick.

Clark made an- other circuit of the arches and the game was over before many realized it was under way.
