at Night; Loses Day Block

Welker Cochran, of Detroit, amassad
more than 300 points last night before
Edouard Horemans, the Belgian cham
pion, completed his block Of 400, and
barely missed nosing the foreigner out
OF the lead. Cochran got hold of him.
self after Horemans had piled up
run of 1879 in one of the early innings.
and from that time on the excelience
of the Americans cuemanship sislply
baffied his antagonist.
i Cochran gave by far the best per-
formance of the 1872 balkline game he
had shown since the 3,600-point match
got under way, whereas Horemans, who
put up a remarkable exhibition yester-
! day afternoon, seemed last night to
lose control of the balls completely.
The Belgian varied his style OF play.
but this failed to check the dazzling
pace Of the Westerner or to help Hore-
mans IN stringing out a long success
sion of points.
Last nights session required six
teen innings, the longest in the tour
nament so far. Cochran made lonr
runs consistentIv. whereas the Belgian.
sometimes with perfect set-ups. seemed
saanlc 70 get started. except once dur
| jng the evening, when he tailed 1873
points.
Cochran Quits Table
Cochran left the table in disgust
yesterday afternoon. Horemans. had
amassed run of'25o points when the
Detroiter racked his cue and quit the
scene.
The foreigner. with six points needed
70 complete his block, missed on an
easy shot, and the gallery waited ten
minutes while attendants at the aes6-
cmy PACED Cochran and finally drsgxed
hlm back. Although the balls Were
placed just to Cochran's liking, he ap-
peared nervous after having abandoned
nope, and the set-up served only to de-
lay the finish for a few minutes.
Horemans won the block, 400 to 237.
and extended his lead in the grand
I, total to 577 points. Cochran started Oh
IN the afternoon at top speed, scoring
! AZ, % and 49 in his first three innings.
and really seemed in fine fettle untif
Horemans started on his long run.
It was not that the Belgian had piled
| up 264 points that Disconnected the
American. the latter's friends attested.
but the amazing accuracy with which
| Horemans executed the most dificuit
shots. Both men played with the ex-
treme care that has marked their work
IN every session since the match began.

Cochran was compelled to exert him
self for every point.
Even though his average yesterday
afternoon was only 26 80, Cochran's
grand average of 4S 1916 continues to
DE higher than that amassed by Jake
Schaefer in his recent victory over
Horemans. The Belgian's grand av-
erage up to the opening of last
nights round was &C 1915, a new
| record.
