again was he able to keep the ivor;s :

in the game.
Cochran, besides executing the mos,
oriihant and spectacular shot of the
tournament 70 date. when he brought

full lengh of the table for the caron,
IN the ninth inning, showed unfalter-
ing courage in the face of tremendous
odds in the first five innings. In his
hfteen turns at the table, the American
scored double figures eleven times and
only one scratch.
hagenlacher was far more uncertain
in his work. Only five times was he
able to break into double figures. and
-FOUR scratches marred his card and
1our times ne scored only single
carom. The German did his finest
playing at the close billiards style his
nursing oeing both delicate and swiftly
executed. 1T was when the worries had
become widely separated and he was
forced to drive vigorously in the effort
to gather the balls together. that
Hagenlacher made most of his mis-
takes.
Inc German champion won the bank,
but could score only single carom'
Cochxan's best effort in the opening
session netted him only three points,
but Hagenlacher failed again after
counting one, and then Cochran got
the balls rolling for cluster of 36.

balls close together, and Hagenlacher
proceeded to make the longest run Of

for his turn, stood 262 points behind
his rival, but that fact did not seem
to faze him in the least for he be-
gan run that netted him total OF
lao, more than cutting Hagenlacher's
great lead in half.
Gould Not Gain Control
For the next half dozen innings the
German star simply could not gain
control over the balls, adding only %
points to his total in these five turns
at the table. Most Of his misses were
made on round the table shots. He
looked most unhappy during this
period, for Cochran, scoring consis-
tently, If not spectacularly, gradually
drew level, and finally in the ninth
inning went into the lead with a run
of %. He increased this materially
In the tenth, when he made cluster
Of 60, alternating between open play
and daringly swift nursing. He then
led Hagenlacher by score of 423 to
342. Both missed in the eleventh inn
ing, and then the German put together
brilliant cluster of IS, the run end
ing when Hagenlacher failed on an
easy cushion shot.
When the fifteenth inning began
Hagenlacher found the balls at the
foot of the table and displayed some
dazzling nursing. Half way through
this run the German was forced to
drive the length cf the. table to gather
the worries together again, this time
at the head of the table, where he
again proceeded TO score by careful
nursing. This put him into the lead
with a total of Att to Cochran's 462,
but the American, playing with great
deliberation, ran off his final cluster
of 38, mostly the result of close bill
liards at the head of the table. and
thus we'll earned close victory.
