Referee Sustsins De Orc.
\ peculiar point developed In the
match W De orc and Jevnc at
Boston. While playing billiards Jevne
wears glasses which enable him to see
all over the table. Al close range they
are valueless. After having missed.
DE Orc left the two object balls close
together at one end OF the table and
Jevne's ball AT the other. Jevne stud
led about playing n bank shot, but con-
sidered that before So doing IL would
be advisable TO ascertain IL the object
balls were frozen or not. lie realized
that II they We're frozen and were not
disturbed DE orc would have the option
of playing away from the red or having
the balls spotted. so he asked the
referee. Charles Warren. to look and
see II the balls were frozen. When
the referee started to comply De orc
explained You can't do that. You
have no right TO tell him. An argu-
ment followed. but DE ORC was sus-
tanned.
When the question was submitted by
Jevne to Charles p. Miller. vice-prcsl-
dent of the Brunswick Balke-C ollender
Company. he answered II believe the
referee should have looked at the balls
and given the desired Information"
Asked what he woul have done had
he been In Warren's place. Albert q.
Cutler answered 81 would have
looked AT the balls and informed ,Jevne
whether the balls were frozen or not
In balkline a man who asks for infor-
nation must receive IL. He must be
told everything excepting whether he Is
going TO play the right shot or how to
play a shot. don't see why condi-
lions should be different at the three
cushion game"
The officials just quoted evidently
' overlooked part of De Oro's reason for
the protest. Informing Jevne OF the
position of the balls in this instance
might have been construed as advice
upon how to play the shot. for as the
balls lay 1t would have been a ,rire
harder Ia count with the balls frozen
NNhH ~ lh'N were not frozen.
