s.,, afternoon. when he defeated Eugene
N,lburn. Of Memphis, Tenn, IN the

'ns.s A championship tournament now
nc conducted in the rooms OF the
,nosteur Billiard Club. Tho point score
IS 40 10 966. and in bringing about the
1o,,rfsu OF the man from Tennessee
uro,yn set a new high run record for the
tournament, with scintillating lOo IN MS
,,,erty-second turn at the table.
NiIburn. although he continued 10 hght
.,,ckily after the avalanche OF points
.,me 10 his opponent in that memorable
,,,inr. never had chance TO stem the
ida that had set so strongly against him.
r,st he stood TO his guns, however, IS
.hov.n by the fact that ne made his best
an in the thirty-frst inning. clicking off
d, or,tty A.. and this in the face Of certain
defeat.
l.ntu the twenty-second frame had
.,eIed Nlilburn's Waterloo the game had
been practically toss-up as TO whom
would fan the laurel wreath.
Roth men were slow to start After
winning the bank. Brown failed TO score
an his first time up. Then he and Mil
hurn ran neck and neck until the twenty
orst inning. when the points read: Brown,
lss. Mllburn. l2s.
When he rose from his seat for the
twenty-second inning Brown started off
unostentatiously enough Milburn had
left an easy set-up for him. and the for
mer champion, playing close billiards, be-
gan TO click off the points easily and rap
idly. only occasionally was Brown COM
peued TO execute a long draw shot or a
cushion carrom. For the most part he
kept the balls in the centre OF the table
or along the rail.

J. Ferdinand Poggenburg. the interna-
tionalist, assumed the lead in the race
for the national Class A amateur 49,
title in the evening game, defeating
Charles Heddon, of Michigan. in the ninth
game OF the tournament by score of
100 to 2l7 points. With three victories and
no defeats, Poggenburg has a clean rec
ord and begins TO loom strong in the
struggle
The goddess OF i'll fortune still seemed
to pursue Heddon. who missed many
shots by the width OF a hair or saw the
red ball die" when il apparently had
legs enough 10 make his shot complete.
POggenburg assumed the lead at the
beginning and never relinquished it. Al
though he played a lot of mediocre bill
lizards, the occasional periods when he
old shine made ample atonement for his
lapses. From the seventeenth TO the
twenty-first innings, inclusive, Poggen-
burgs average was "a 2-5, but his many
single figure innings brought this down
20 II and fraction for the game.
Heddon made his best score in the
twenty-ninth inning, when he ran g. the
nigh run of the game, by clever all
around cue work.
