Greenleaf Plays
Wonderful Game

DETROIT, Dee. II. W.H)-Rising
to supreme heights, Ralph Greenleaf,
once known as "the boy wonder'",
last night defeated the worlds cham
pion, Frank Taberski, 125 to 0, in
two innings, in the worlds pocket
billiard championship tournament
and set two new world records.
Taberski won the break, giving
Greenleaf the first shot. In attempt
ing to play safe, Ralph scratched.
With the advantage of placing the
cue ball in whatever position he
wished to, at the lower end of the
table, Taberski lined it up for a
straight sho, and missed.
Greenleaf ran l25 balls to win the
most spectacular game ever played.
Greenleaf's performance last night
established two new worlds records,
that for high run, and the shortest
game of l25 points, breaking the
marks set by the present tournament
leader, Erwin Rupdolph, last Friday.
Rudolph's record breaking run was
