Clark Takes Three Straight

F. r. FenIOu, W NlIIlI1dullCs Clark Takes Three Straight. For the Van Wickle games there were many onlookers Thursday eve ming and the play was of high quail ity. In the first medal play Webb had the balls in good position from the game marked up on Wednesday night. He speedily lost them, and in two turns Clark had run the first game of i the series out. To the Springfield man went the two following games so that one victory when play is resumed this | evening will give him the medal. In both games Webb played brilliantly at times and then became cratic, while | his opponent played the same steady, consistent game all the way through, | making several remarkably pretty car i on shots, one the whole length of the 1 court In each game Webb almost l had a rover when he lost the balls, and once in his possession Clark ran 1 them around quickly.
 stockweII Loses by Close Margin. | Stockwell put up stubborn fight l in the second Van Wickle games, in l the first of which Dr. Thomson beat l him by a margin of only two arches. | The Norwich boy starred with three | or four fine carom shots while ThOm- i son made a number of his long drives. | In the first game Stockwell made a | run of half the court before he slipped up, and 1t was nip and tuck until the very end of the game. Stockwell made an even better run in the second game ! of the evening, when he ran his balls three quarters of the way around. The game was marked up shortly before Ii o'clock with the balls in Stockwelps l Y,1a zarfn he .1 this evening.
