run was chiefly made at the lower
section of the table.
He worked to and from across the
table. interspersing ideal line nursing
nip and magical masse strokes and long
drives. Throughout the run. excepting
for seven strokes, the cue ball was
near the foot rail. While the run was
in progress he was picture Of inten-
sive concentration. He was also ner-
yous as he admitted. On two occasions
when he sandpapered his cue tip his
hand trembled visibly. One observer
remarked: "lf he could take some
thing to steady his nerves he would
be billiard player"
Hagenlocher Victim OF Breaks.
Hagenlocher played well in three in
nings. in which he compiled A. 120 and
rs. Otherwise his performance was
dull. 1t must, however, be said that
he was victim of unfavorable breaks
Hagenlocher won the bank. chose the
white ball and counted from the lead.
The object balls settled wide apart. on
the head rail- and Erich failed to score
by playing a reverse three cushion shot
across the head rail. Horemans missed
on his first inning, made in his second

long left balk Although he had the
balls six times in apparently favorable
positions he obtained only FL.
Tough breaks and ordinary playing
followed until the seventh inning, when
on his second stroke a lucky kiss gave
Horemans a chance to get the objects
together about the middle Of the long
right balk He did not. however. get a
nursing position until he had made 40.
Then he got one In the middle of the
table At so. through roll off," he
got the cue ball between the objects. A
masse counted but broke up the position.
At 6S he had the balls on the cross line
at the head of the table. Shifting them
at 70 to the upper left corner he worked
there until he had obtained 101.
Previously he had avoided masse
effects and had played single cushions
and banks in preference, but some neat
and delicate ones helped him out of
difficulties I'm the corner For a time
he did considerable shifting and driving,
but at 113 had the spheres again in the
upper left corner and under perfect con-
troll. In thirteen more strokes he had Il
nursing position on the left line. He
held 1t perfectly until 1855 was called.
Then he lost 1t. The run ended at 172,
when draw and kiss barely failed
Hagenlocher made 15 and got nasty
alignment in the lower left corner which
a two cushion bank failed to solve.
Horemans came back with so. In eight
strokes he had the objects together on
the head rail. In that vicinity the en-
tire run was made. At f3 he had line
position from which he extracted Is. On
his fifty-nnth stroke he made q weak
long drive after which a wide spread
draw sent him to his seat.
Hagenlocher followed with a we'll
played run of A, in which the balls
broke contrarily. AT 40. when he had
n perfect position, freeze compelled
him to bank. A mscue left the Bel
gian perfect set-up in the lower right
corner. Horemans made only 4. A
single cushion effort across the table
was a failure.
Germans Execution Good.
The German found the balls wide
apart, but with two good single cush-
ion effects started a bristlnig exhibi-
tion of general execution. He made
II before he had a nursing position.
Holding the balls at the head section
he put together 120 A bump" on a
short single cushion terminated his
scoring.
In five strokes. one wide masse
another wide draw. Horemans gath
cred the objects In the lower section,
where. with occasional long drives, he
kept them until he had made 244. At
FL he had them on the left line, where
he made %. At 102 he was working
in the lower right corner. In thirty
six shots he ran them across the table
and back. At 150 he had them on the
orossline. At l6l they were out near
the middle of the table. At 200 they
were back in the lower right corner.
Just when It looked as IL he would
surely run out he made a miscue. In
his next three II nings bad breaks and
misses that were close caused the REF
suits to be Z, o. 0. From perfect
leave he made 20 and got out in his
next chance.
A slllllfu exhibition by Hagenlocher
In his final visit to the table netted rs.
His forty-seventh and fifty-seventh
counts were obtained by spectacular
masse strok rs. Having too much re-
gard for position his seventy-ninth
stroke was made with rigid delivery
and just missed.
