while De ORC was making l6i. for the
night, and entered the last block. with
the ample lead of IS points, gaining IS
balls I'm the evening. The score for two
nights play stands 400 for Allen against
3l2 for the champion.
The rooms were packed TO capacity and
those who are generally willing 10 risk

men settled 10 their game In fine style
and brilliant. daring shots were tried and
executed while the crowd. unmindful OF
the ethics. applauded noisily. De orc II
was who made the particularly spectacu-
lar efforts, and as shot after shot dropped
hcme going I'm clean and true with few
laws, the spectators showed their Gppre-
citation in no uncertain manner. Three
and four ball combinations were sent

last he tripped on a difficult shot. and sat
down. while Allen cleaned the table.
