SUTTON PROVES
KEEN ABILITY
AS BILLIARDIST

Those who enjoy the fine points of
billiards got an eye full yesterday

handles billiardist of Florence, do
most marvellous work with the cue
stick and the three ivory balls. SUIT
ton was playing against Frank
Runyan, Arizona champion billiardiSt,
but there was no question of title
involved. Sutton, whose hands and
forearms are off just few inches
below the elbows, demonstrated
beyond cavil that he knows the
geometry and laws CT velocity as
apply to the billiard table and he
made runs OF, almost any number, it
seemed, that he cared to.
The games we're played at the B
and P pool rooms and brought only
q small crowd. Those who witnessed
the games were unanimous in their
praise of the work Of Sutton and they
regarded as most remarkable that he
had attained such perfection against
