Demarest always held the lead IN his
match with Morningstar. playing as
evenly as he has all through the tourna-
ment. Morningstar, however, seemed
beset by evil spirits and time and again
was faced by almost unplayable line
ups He never let up in his bulldog ef-
/ forts 10 head of his rival. but the odds
were all against him.
IN the afternoon games Slosson fig
ured in a reversal when ne defeated Kohl
Yamada. and Harry p. Cline proved too
much for young Jacob Schaefer in the
second game.

average in this game-l6 l6-e4-was far
better than anything he had done pre-
vlously
Cline who has shown Improvement in
every game ne has played. made many
sensational shots In compiling his high
run. The balls travelled all around the
table. and on several occasions the Phila-
delphian vas confronted with difficult
line-ups, but overcame them by brilliant
playing. After the game he said he
wished that the tournament had begun
week later. as Ne is Just beginning TO get
his strokes working.
Young Schaefer seemed TO be slightly
stale, perhaps the strain OF his first big
/ tournament being too much for him.
In his match with Yamada Slosson gave
evidences early in the game of being in
| happier scoring mood than previously. On
only three occasions did he fail TO count
in the match. and generally got double
figures in each inning.

dent" gave glimpse Of the Slosson OF
eden days. His nursing OF the worries
was delicate and certain, and on the few
| occasions when he had 10 use a hard
stroke he brought il off successfully.
The most sensational shot OF the match,
and, in fact, Of the entire tournament,
IN the opinion of those who witnessed il,
was made b. Yamada in his eighteenth
/ Inning.
