 Turner Defeated the Champion.
 After a battle that lasted for two hours and a quarter, Eddie Clark lost his first tournament game in two years on Friday morning against F. c. Turn CT, who came clear across the conti- nent to play rOque on the Norwich grounds.

Turner missed a carOm and Clark failed to make the cage in his turn, The ball changed hands several times more and then Clark made a miss of a ridieulously easy short open | shot. Turner's chance had come: he made the cage, wired the champion and ran home easily, getting an ova- tion,
