KKMTWHILE CHAMP LOSES
TO VALDEZ DARK HORSE
—
"A billiard instructor once thot
He was master of all that he taught.
The last pupil of all
Out of him took a fall.
Now his advice is no longer sought.”
A new star has appeared in the
firmament, which with its ever-in
creasing brilliancy bids fair in time
to even outshine the sun. The "Hold
en" sun.
The billiard tournament which was
pulled off In the I'inson Saturday
night United States Deputy Marshal
S. O. easier drugged the banner of
the former champions in the dust,
taking th< m singly and in bunches.
The first game, between the Marshal
und H. H. Holden, resulted in the
marshal sprinting away from the Val
dez Wizard at a rate that drew
gasps of wonder from the audience.
Despite expert advice by his second
and understudy. Dan. Wilsey. und the
repeated encouragement of his many
friends in the audience. "Goldy’s”
sun set with a Jar, Mr. Easier defeat
ing him by til points. And he came
under the wire without a sign of the
tremendous mental and physical exer
tion required to beat the local “wiz.”
In the second game Clinton Egan
took Dr. Silverman into camp to the
turn of 110 to the doctor's 95. Mr.
Egan’s friend blame the Miner for the
defeat, saying that the article in Sat
urday’s paper spurred Mr. Egan to
hia best efforts, and that when he Is
in form no one can beat him.
Sunday was again an off day for
the champB. S. O. Easier defeating
Marshal Brenneman by the small
margin of about 49 points. Marshal
Brenneman was handicapped from
the start, as Easier clicked off seven
points the first inning to show how
it could be done, and although the
Marshal ran 18 the result showed his
nerves were badly shattered as 12 was
the best he could do after that. And
when the Marshal is in form it takes
two sets of balls to keep him going,
as one set is cooling while he uses
the others.
Again comes easier, in a close
game he defeated Dr. Silverman by
26 points. At the end of this game the
champs held a closed meeting and
passed resolutions denouncing the
new champ, and asking that his han
dicap be raised. But Burr Snyder, the
Signal Corps man, like brave Horat
ius at the bridge, offered his body to
stop the breach, and after a tew short
preliminaries, defeated the new cham
pion by 46 points, showing it could
be done if necessary to save the good
name of the town.
Wm. Sparavalo defeated Dr. Win
ans, who has won every game hereto
fore, by a small margin, the doctor’s
mind being on his Ford, and the good
weather giving him the autocitis.
Tonight’s game will be between
the law and the jewelers’ association.
W. S. Bonnlfleld will play Georg*

Reinke, and while Mr. Bonnifleld hai
demonstrated numerous and divert
times that he is master of the game
George has been improving steadil]
the past week, and has been clicking
off points at a lively rate. It will b<
a good game, and may give some ol
the near champs an idea of theii
weak points.
