DE ORC Is PASSED
IN QUEST OF TITLE
Challengcr's Advantage Over
come by Moore in Three
Cushion Match.
CHAMPION LEADS, 100 TO 05

George W. Moore. champion at three
cushion carrom billiards, not only over
came the lead Of IL points that Alfredo
De ORC. the Cuban wizard. had gained
in the first block Of their $50 point
match at Doylc's room. but he ran
Moore scored CO points in eighty-seven
innings while DE ORC was getting IS
hard fought for buttons. giving the
champion the advantage by 100 to 70.
When the champion and his rival face
each other tonight in the fnal block the
title holder will have only ffty to run
as against ffty-five by the left handed
expert.
TIT play last night was exceedingly
interesting and at times bewilderingly
brilliant. Moore ounted consistently
while De ORC had long runs OF goose
eggs, the Cuban making twenty misses
between the twenty-sixth and forty-sev-
enth innings. De orc missed many well
planned shots by the proverbial eyelash.
and several times 1t seemed that the cue
ball just whispered to the second OBJ
ject sphere.
As far as the breaks were concerned
the champion was the favored son OF for
tune. one of the four final buttons being
a palpable scratch-so much so that
Moore himself paused for a smile.
Moore again excelled in bank shots.
several OF his three cushion efforts being
of the hair raising sort and evoking the
most enthusiastic applause. In the for
ty-ffth inning both missed well played
banks by a hair and there were exclama-
tons OF disappointment all over the
house. Moore gradually crawled up on
his opponent and in the forty-seventh IN
ming the champion had counted 4s times
TO "a by the challenger.
Later on De orc gained a little. but
the i'll luck that pursued the challenger
again asserted Itself and he fell back
The champion took a firm grip OF
the situation after the forty-hfth inning
and forged ahead without any uncer-
tainty. His play was the perfection OF
accuracy. and many OF his shots were
so wonderful that the applause was long
continued.
Among those who saw the game and
enjoyed the brilliant execution were Cap
Arson. Wild Bill Donovan and Hal
Chase. The score by innings:

PATCH HERO OF GAME

Princeton trlumphed In Its seasons
FIRST intercollegiate hockey contest, de-
feating Williams College last night at
the st. Nicholas Rink by the score Of 2
to /.
Before starting play Williams allowed
II 10 be known that not once this sea-
son had the team practised on ice, for the
reason that there was no ice at Will
Jamestown. where the team halls from.
What little practice the men mad was
confined TO a gymnasium floor.
This being the case. Williams put up
. surprisingly good defence against the
Princeton veterans. Little teamwork
was exhibited. Rochester. left wing for
Williams. was n big factor. He led every
offensive attack started by Williams and
usually was the man who took the disk
away from some ambitious Tiger who
got within hailing distance Of the WILL
iams goal.
Patch IL Applauded.
There was one other Williams hero OF
the game and one who drew most OF the
applause. He was Patch. the goal
keeper. Patch is no more than five feet
tall. but he was as wide as he was high.
and offered a substantial blockade to
every assault OF the Princeton squad.
For one so plump he was decidedly
active. He said after the game that his
weight Is the only thing that keeps him
Rom winning the position as rover. in.
stead Of the less significant Job of tend
Ing goal.
Princeton seemed fortunate to win
the contest. The first goal scored was
open to question. as II seemed to all
distintercsted parties that Cushman. the
player who shot the puck into the cage,
was hiding behind the net and came out
when the disc was shot down the ice by
Capt. Schoen. Schoen carried the rub
Der half way down the rink and then
showed II to one side and ahead OF him.
Cushman bobbed UP from somewhere
the exact point being open To dispute,
and shot the goal. Cries from the crowd
that Cushman was onside failed &c
elicit any action by the referee and
Princeton received credit for the goal.
Little Scoring Il Done.
That goal by Cushman was the onl.
score OF the first half. which was filled
with a lot OF fancy club swinging but
nightly little hockey. Williams was
slow to get started and played in tho
FIRST half as II trying only to block the
attempts Of Princeton.
Princeton withstood THIS determined
rush OF the New England visitors and
finally carried the play to the Williams
side In a scrimmage In front OF thu
Williams goal just three minutes before
the end OF the game Capt. Schoen man
aged to slide the disc past the bulginl
Patch for Princeton's second goal.
1t seemed Williams was certain OF de,
feat. but the players never abandoned
hope. They played faster. II anything
