Calm Wins Tourney
By a Single Point
Over Harry Symes

With a crowd of over 500 persons
standing on chairs. tables and stands,
cheering like mad at every shot. Al Calm
took the Nebraska 1872 balk line billiard
championship from Harry Symes last
night by only one point. The score was
800 to 299.
Last nights game was revelation in
billiard exhibitions. Both men played in
excellent form and all the way through
the margin that separated them was
slender. Calm, before the game, was a
slight favorite over Symes, but as the
game passed the fifteen-minute stage it
was apparent that Symes would be no
easy mark and the few wagers that were
laid then were at even money, or very
close to it,
j Gains high run was "a, and he fol-
lowed this one with a string of 80. Later
ne made %. Symes runs were &c, % and 10.
Immediately after the game, Symes
challenged the victor TO a game for the
championship. to be played within the
next thirty days. His challenge was
greeted with roar of applause from the
big crowd of oniookers. After Calm de-
fends successfully his title three consecu-
tive times. he is to be given a silver low
ing cup, presented by F. r. Reynolds.
