snip tournament yesterday afternoon ana
emerged victorious In their respective
contests upon the tables set up in the
belvedere on the roof of the Hotel Aston.
Hoppe retrieved a bad slump and defeated
AL Taylor by the score OF 800 points to
394. with an average of IA 1895 and high
runs Of IS. 81 and a. Taylors average
was IL 20-34 and his best runs were So.
a and IS.
Cline defeated Ora Morningstsr by n
score of 800 points to 40. II was the first
defeat that Morningstar mas experienced
In the tournament and was n hard game
10 lose, as he had led the greater part
Of the way. Cline's average was 10 5-a3
and his high runs were y, IS and A.. Tho
run OF 70 was unfinished, and II was in
working out this big cluster that Cline
won the match. Morningstar's average
was 10 4-32 and his best runs were So II
and IS.
While Hopes manipulation was indif-
ferent at the beginning, he managed to
take the lead over Taylor by run OF rs
on his seventh turn at the table. He
played fairly good ball-to-ball billiards
during this run, although much Of the
time he fretted over the sluggish action
OF the globes Taylor, because Of his
open style Of playing, did not suffer so
much as Hoppe; stu he had his troubles,
for the worries continually rolled into line
ups for him. Whenever he got into run
the dilemmas came thick and fast. IT
was so in his big cluster of SO on his
ninth turn at the table. Taylor was

lined up I'm the centre Of the table. Tay-
Tor attempted a massc. but he could not
reach the shot squarely and failed.
BY a run Of A open table shots. In
which he caused the balls 10 count the
carroms by circuitous routes Taylor took
the lead away from Hoppe in the TWEEN
tieth inning. lie held II until the close Of
the thirty-second inning Then Hoppe
steadied TO his work and finished out the
match with a trio OF runs, counted at IS,
IS and 81, altogether his best performance
OF the competition.
George Slosson. the veteran, fairly sur
passed himself in defeating Calvin Dema-
rest by the score OF 800 points TO 223.
The students" average went UP 10
rs 6-l9, although he had held TO nearly 40
for the first 100 points, as he put together
marvellous runs OF l6S and 1886 during
these periods.
Then Demarest resorted TO safety tao
tics, which slackened Slosson's progress
and cut down his average. Demarests
figures were II li-1e and his best runs
"A. SO and SO.
Slosson's stroke was a rare blending Of
- IL
vealed its perfection on his ninth visit TO
the table. when he started the worries
playing hide and seek about the corners
and along the short rail at the foot OF
the table. So rapidly did he perform that
Demarest was on tiptoe several times
whispering to Cutler AS 10 whether or
not Slosson had shot with the proper cue
ball. Slosson ran merrlly along 10 $50,
and then the globes came TO freeze lie
had them respected and continued to lss.
when he missed a wide single cushion
carrom on the long rail.
Three innings later Slosson repeated for
1856. but this time the upper rail was the
scene Of his operations He kept the balls
nesting into the anchor spaces like chicks
hiding from a hawk, and he went along
TO 100 before his brood scattered. Then
he worked at open table until he termi-
mated his run by missing draw 10 the
cushion.
Demarest was ftful and Indifferent
much OF the time. His cushion shots
were often brilliant, but on the whole
uncertain.
Again Japan's representative in the
can, as George Sutton defeated Kodu
Yamada by the score OF 900 points 10 3os.
Sutton's average was an even 90 and his
best runs 70, So and 60.
Sutton, having reconsidered his deter
mination 10 withdraw from the tourna-
ment evinced a disposition TO take re-
venge upon the diminutive Jap from the
beginning. The portly American was In
rare stroke, and by the most delicate
manipulation he counted 10, 6s and so, re-
spectively. on his first three turns at the
table. Right there Yamada was beaten,
although no played the craftiest sort OF
safety toward the end, which momen-
tsrily checked Sutton, as the Jap cum
ningly spread the ivories.
Yamada tested his skill al tho masse
TO the delight OF the crowd. Once he
earned salvos of applause by force
masse In his run OF 81. on his seventh
turn at the table. in which the cue ball
swept the red from the rail and went on
to complete the carrom on the white.
Sutton was easily at his best when the
globes were closely punched so that ne
could gently nurse them. His run OF
H on his eleventh turn at the table was
a rnasterpiece Of this character. His open
table playing was weak and al through
the contest the missed consistently on the
cushion carrQfnS.
The matches to-day will bring Yamada
against Cline and Demarest assinst Lay
will meet Sutton, and Hoppe VIII lace
Slosson in the evening.
