CLINE FINALLY A WINNER
Bic Run Of 142 Assists Him in
Conquest Of Yamada by
100 to 3O1 Score.


Calvin Demarest emulsted the example
set by william r. Hoppe in the latter .
match against koji Yamada on Friday
night and defeated George Sutton yester-
day IN whirlwind fnisn In the t4:i
balkline billiard tournament Cor the cham
pionshlp OF the world At tn, Hotel Aston
belvedere. The score at tho nnish was /:
Demarest, 400; Sutton. Sso. The winner
averaged II s-23, with high runs Of lls.
50 and %. while sutton averaged 10 1928,
with his best clusters at 1871. Sc ard 81,
Demarest made a fairly good start In
this match and took the lead early, but
starting with the twelfth inning sutton in
three turns at the table made a total of
?o3 caroms and at the end Of the four
tenth round was 154 points In front. with
the score at 40 to 1866. At this stage OF
the game Demarest started to show some
real billiards and crept up steadily until
the eighteenth inning. when he collected
ZIG and came within striking distance Of
his adversary. From that time on he
added little by little to his string and kept
sutton from scoring often. with tho re-
suit that he took the lead In the twenty
second frame and ran out In the next.
On the whole 1t was great afternoon
for high runs. for not only did Sutton and
Demarest 90 above the hundred mark for
the first time since the beginning of the
tournament but Harry Cline, who was
trailing at the end Of the procession. rose
UP In wrath and garnered a run OF l+2.
Moreover. he smote Kohl Yamada and won
his nrs, game by a score of 400 to sol.
Cline averaged IL 1884. which Ii consid-
erably lower than his best losing average,
and had other runs OF 80 and "a. The
Jap. who looked as II he mad not yet got
over the strain OF his match with Hoppe
on the preceding night. averaged only
9%-33 and had as his best strings 81
twice and 50. Although great many OF
the shots made by Cline in his high run
we're open table strokes, as whole he
played the best balkline that he has
shown to date
Even George F. Sloseon. who 10 now
tied with Cline for last place. took q touch
Of the high run fever and although he did
not go over the century mark In his match
against Ora Morningstar he kept the
worries together for q string OF 81. his best
so far. The run. however. helped him
very little, for Morningstar played more
consistent billiards and won. 400 to 276.
The winner averaged Is 1929. with high
runs Of IS, So and 80. and Slosson made
The best average that he has shown At this
style Of game 1928. He had other
strings of s. and 81.
Despite the fact that young Jake
Schaefer lost one of the night games to
Kohl Yamada. he showed the kind Of stun
Of which champions are made. and the
margin between him and victory was only
one lone tally. for he was defeated only
by a score of 400 TO 399 after the gamest
aght that has been seen in the tourna-
ment. The Jap led from the start and
at the fifteenth inning the score stood
3?& to ia in his favor.
Right at this point the young Chi
cagoan showed the pluck. which recalled
10 many spectators the qualities Of his
father. He picked up point after point
until he finished his twenty third inning.
The score then stood 3SS to 2S6. and II
looked as II the game was over. for the
Jap had the worries In good position. The
Oriental counted one and then missed an
easy draw. When Schaefer went to the
table he needed ia to win. and his task
looked hopeless. for he had not made q
string better than II In any previous
game. He went at the job manfully, how
eyer, and counted tally after tally. max
ING many brilliant shots until he had
rounded OUT ll3 and needed only one. He
GOT bad kiss here and was left one of
the most difficult shots possible. He
made good try, missing only by hairs
breadth and left an easy follow shot for
the Jap. which the latter made and the
game was over. Schaefer's average waA
