A S the end OF the season approaches
~ billiard dcvotecs In Now York are
exhibiting keen interest In the
National Billiard Leagues three-cush-
ion caIom tournament. as there Is
strong likelihood OF a big shakeup be-
fore the race IL over. Chicago Is now
leading, but the cueists representing
that city In the tournament have a hard
Eastern trip before them. and many
who have followed the race believe the
chances Of Kansas City landing the tro-
ply are very bright. New York stands
fourth at the present time, and whether
the Gotham crew lands at or near the
top OF the column when the tournament
Is finished depends largely on the result
OF It's meeting with st. Louis at Doyle's

In this meeting Elmer Farrar will be

His New York opponent will be John
