line championship in the tournament at
the Arion Society IL lie continues TO play
the way he did yesterday afternoon. Tho
| Brookiy mite recorded the high single
average of the tournament. - 1923.
while beating Jacob klinSer of Austria
by a score OF 400 to 29S. klinger him-
self averaged 10 1928, nearly two full
points better than his best previous
mark.
The remai kable thing about Browns
high average was that his high u was
only 81. Freak statistics on such mat
tiers are not kept. but II they were IT
probably would he found that no other
man with a high run of 81 ever travelled
50 consistently that he averaged as much
az -. His stcadiness may he judged
partly b. the fact that he had only four
zeroes In his entire string.
Browns performance now taxes
precedence over that of j. Ferdinand
Pogyenburg. who made 400 points In
~thirty-fvc innings for a figure or
II 1886.
The game began as II it would be a
runaway for klinger. In six innings he
built up a lead OF 81 TO %. Then Brown
got started. In a stretch from the eighth
to the eighteenth inclusive he averaged
IS Sill. While the rush was on he
ovcrhauled klinger. catching him in the
fourteenth session. which ended win
the total 2lt for Brown TO his Rd-
versary's 1855. Klinger then was let
