was In superb form, played intelligently
and confidently and revealed to the great
throng OF spectators who we're present

is He was not brilliant. He was emf
nently resourceful and masterful. When
he got control OF the balls he generally
kept control until he rolled up telling
scores. Horemans had no excuse. He
had several opportunities, but did not
utilize them for valuable scores. He
missed on two short draw shots and
two masse strokes, and the errors were
costly. AS delicate, finished exponent
OF close manipulation he is inimitaole

execution
