In the evening Mr.. Cont displayed
anne Of his old time class. He seemed
to find himself. 1t was his most bril-

There was one thing that handl-

in the room. This may sound like II
complaint from tcmpcrament0l prlma
donna. But for the benefit Of those
who arc moi very familiar with some
Of the conditions in connection with
playing hi liards. I will say that tnc
temperature of the room has a whole
lot to do with tho success or failure OF
a player. The balls last night were
dead. They did not get warmed up
until about the third or fourth inning.
People sometimes forget that n bill
