quest for the $4,000 prize last night
when he was nosed cut by Cochran,
400 to 373. Cochran got off to a
lead Of 105 to 0 in the first two
innings and picked up another S6
points in the third frame, but
'Matsy" was far from beaten. Play

gradually cut down the Californian's
lead and went to the fore in the
seventh inning, 255 to 156. by gath

Cochran countered with a run of
102 in the fifteenth inning, which
put him in front by a two-point
margin, 365 to 363. Then both
players cracked wide open, the
Japanese making only one point in
three innings and Cochran but one
in two. The latter was the first
to settle down. however, and went
out in the nineteenth inning with
