MARCUS CATIONS
SPLENDID SHOWING
YOUNG BILLIARDIST FOLLOWING
IN FOOTSTEPS OF HE
FATHER.

Al the time Ora Morningstar was
compelled TO resign from the Cham
pion Billiard Players League on ac-
count of the illness OF his wife. the
billiard fans all over the country
commenced to discuss the possible
ties OF the twenty-year-old Rock
Island youth. Marcus Cation, who at
that time was utility man for the
league.
T'ae Rock Island youngster was
teamed with Kohl Yamada the nrst
week and to the surprise OF all de-
feated the Jap four out OF six contests
that were bitterly fought, as the
scores Of those games showed.
He is unfolding mis- fathers repu-
tation by winning games when he has
been hopelessly beaten by making
phenomenal hair-raising finishes and
defeating his opponents by small
margins.
He began playing at the age OF ten
in Rock Island. where his father own
ed a billiard parlor and under the
careful tuition OF his father he de-
vcioped into one Of the most promis-
ing players of championship caliber.
Cation was born in Paris France.
while his father was playing In one
Of the large academies with Frank
Ives and Jake Schaefer. Five years
later his father returned to America
and located In Rock Island. H.. and
opened a large billiard academy.
where his son. Marcus, learned the
game.

PANAMA TO LOWER
HIGH LIVING COST

Richmond fruit and vegetable mer-
chants handling California-grown
goods, such as cannot at this season be
produced in Virginia. have begun to
reap tn. benefits coming to the people
Of the Eastern country because OF the
opening Of the Panama Canal.
A local retail foodstuffs house sup
plying many Richmond homes. has just
received a shipment of California fruits
and asparagus, by way OF the Panama
Canal and New York. The freight. per
hundred pounds. by the water way was
80 cents, as against a rate of So cents
all rail.
With increased traffic from the Pa
cific coast to this section by way Of
Panama, which Is Indicated for the
near future. 1t is probable the route
will be made much shorter, the ship
ments coming to Virginia through its
own ports, instead Of through New
York When this is accomplished 1t Is
highly probable that the high cost OF
living, in certain of the necessities OF
life. will be appreciably lowered.

1t was intimated at the league

any kind OF an official announcement
to this effect met, however, with re-
fusal. Neither was there any definite

The players involved were thought
to be Outfielder Rehg, Boston: Out
