Last night E. F. Wells beat E. Wal
lace Smith In the only match played
in the Board of Trade billiard tourn
ament. It was a Class A match am4
was expected to bo one of the closest
01 the tourney therefore a large crowd
o' spectators gathered to see the play.
The contest, however, was not close.
11 proved to be a walk away for Wells.
This was due In part to the fact thut
Smith did not play up to form and
had bad luck, but chiefly because
s\ ells played a remarkably strong
i grme.
Wells as scatch man naa to score
300 to win. and Smith was playing
315. In 67 innings Wells had arrived
at his destination while his oppanent
in 66 innings had marked up only 119.
Wells average was 6.26 und Smith’s
2 12. Wells made runs of 31, 24, 17. 16,
15, 14 und 12, while the laigset runs
by Smith were 11, 10 and 8.
Although the game was entirely
one-sided it did not lack In Interest
ri i both men are accomplished play
I’m. Wells especially held the crown
biouthles3 while he negotiated difficult
shots. Once he had a set-up that is
' impossible to the average player the
-hree balls being inne 11 at an acute
1 angle to the cushion. He scored a
j billiard from this by making three
: cushons before the carom. This shot
| evoked prolonged applause as did an
| other which involved a bank before
making the billiard.
Wells' playing was very fine in
deed. He has done the seemingly im
possible by convincing many billiard
sharps by the few games he has play
ed that he is either the equal or su
perior of that popular idol Qeorge
Grigsby. Last night's performance
added a considerable number to tho
ranks of those who thinn mat url(.
by’3 superior has at last arrived here.
The hope was freely expressed that
Grigsby may come to Nome next
summer so that a series of matches
between these experts may be pulled
oft.
Put on your old gray bonnat next
Saturday night. A. B. Hall.
