-, the hest Of the rolls and the breaks
~ the balls. Right through the contest
yamada used the masse freely, with
s,bsr the right or left hand. Whenever
IN doubt he sent the orbs cavortins
.,ound the table so that Cline rarely
faced anything that savored of a set-uP
ny the widest stretch of the magma
tion. and was compelled to play for all
be got.
Demarest. with the exception of two or
three innings, welded his cue with poor
and uncertain results and only saved
himself when Taylor had the match with
IN his grasp. Twice he got into arsu-
msnts with Tom Gallagher. First 1t was
about Taylors leaving his chalk on the
table rim and in the thirty-first inning
pemarest objected TO Gallagher's calling
a miss before the cue ball bad stopped
rolling. Demarest. was of the opinion
that he had counted on bank shot into
the corner in this inning, and 1t was
,icklish situation for him, as Taylor was
almost at the end Of his string. Gallagher
ruled against him, however, and he had
70 retire.
The best performance on the part OF
Demarest came with his twenty-hfth visit
to the table, when he put together his
run Of 1872. He at once collected the globes
and by dainty and true nursing along the
lines counted in his most dashing style.
During this run Demarest often counted
ten points, hardly moving the worries an
inch from their first position. His con-
troll was masterful and he finally retired
in a short follow shot, easy enough in
itself, but which missed because Dema-
rest was endeavoring TO maintain his
fsultless position.
Working out runs by close and delicate
nursing, Willie Hoppe defeated George
gosson by 500 points to 234 in the first
Of the matches decided in the evening.
The execution Of the younger player was
swift and sure. His average was 20 1921
and his best runs 122, 81 and SO. Slos-
sons average was IL 1920, with high
runs Of 50, 40 and 20.
Il was on his sixth turn at the table
that Hoppe opened the streak Of brill
fancy which was 10 overwhelm the vet
ersn. BY rapid manipulation of the worries
along the lines and in the corners Hoppe
reeled off 122 before he retired because
Of an overplayed spread draw. He was
at the table almost Immediately again, and
the same fluent carroms came from his
cue for 81.
Ora Mornngstar defeated George SUIT
ton by the score Of 500 TO $50 i'm the
other evening match. Morningstar per-
formed in sensational fashion, overcoming
a most discouraging lead by putting to-
sether run Of lsE on his twenty-fourth
turn al the table.
This figure Is the high record run Of
the tournament and tops by one carrom
the run which slosson made against
Dtmarest Morningstar's average was
$3.50 with other high runs Of 81, 50 and
sutton's average was IL 1870, and his
best runs 81, 50 and So.
sutton began in fair stroke, and by his
usual deft handling of the globes soon
mad hornlngstaT trailing him. The latter
oid not appear to correctly judge the
speed Of the table and experienced all
sorts Of trouble in making the worries
respond TO MS cue.
Finally, when seemingly defeated,
AorningstaT licked off his big cluster or
49, II was filled with SNOWY masses and
Gross table shots and he rang all the
changes on balk-linc position as ne
worked through IL. In attempting to hold
position he finally bungled a draw to the
cushion and retired.
Aorningstar thereafter played strongly.
nnishing with collection of neryy shots
across the foot OF the table
