The game marked the second victory
for Munoz. a member OF the Amateur
Billiard Club. and the second defeat
for Osborne. Neither Of tho players
was up TO his best performance, Os-
borne apparently being unable 10
adapt himself to the large table and
the four and-s-half-inch pockets. and
Munoz not showing the same accuracy
in solving his combination shots that
marked his work in the first game.
The lead varied in the first few
frames. but in the eighth the Amateur
Billiard Club representative went out
IN front and was never afterward
headed. being forty-three balls to the
good in the twelfth frame. For a
time. in his last three turns at the
table. it looked as though the veteran
Osborne was going TO make close
finish. for he cut down his opponents
lead By thirteen points, but the handi-
cap was too great. and after failing
on a combination shot 20 the corner
pocket Osborne sat down and Munoz
ran out the two points he needed for
victory.
