billiards!
The most intensely exciting game
of the Northern billiard tourna
ment was played last night and un-1
expectedly it was a game played after
all winners had been decided. Evans
had two games to play. It he had
lost them both there would have been
three tics to play otf in Class C. If
he won one Evans had a cinch. As
it happened Evans won over Daub,
thus relieving himself of all strain
or nervousness for his succeeding
game, because his winning over Daub
made him the winner of Class C arm
on that score he had nothing to lose.:
But Evans still had one ambition left,
ami that was to equal the winners of
Class A (Bruner) and Class B.
(Mathison) by wining every game.
So Evans set his square jaws together
and started out to win his last game,
over Stine, and at the same time win
every game in his class. 1 he start
was spectacular. By the third inning
Stine had made two runs, one of 8
and or e of 10, while Evans accumu
lated three nest eggs. At the 65th
inning Evans, with a score of 79 to
Stine’s 50, surveyed the situation with
the confidence of a hold-over council
man at an annual election. From
that time on, Stine, with nothing to
win but the game (he had already lost
the chance of being winner of the
class on account of Evans winning
over Daub) went back to his form at
the start of the game and in twenty
innings overcame Evans lead and won
by two points, making the last eight
points in two innings when Evans
only wanted three. Every credit is
due at the same time to Evans w4io,
throughout the w hole game, ahead or j
behind, played his usual steady game, j
a game which won seven times out of
eight in the class.
Last night’s games decided the win- j
ners of the different classes. They j
are as follows:
Class A. Bruner. Grand average
2.88. Won all games.
Class B. Mathison. Grand average
1.10. Won ail games.
Class C. Evans. Grand average
LOS. Won 0 out of 7 games.
In the play-off the handicaps will
be as follows:
Evans, 100; Bruner 281.
Evans, 100; Mathison, 106.
Mathison, 100; Brunei, 216.

Billiard Notes.
The three great stars In balk-line
billiards are finally to get together
after a long time of bickering that
has kept them apart. In a recent
Chicago paper it is announced that G.
Butler Sutton, one of the holders of
the World’s championship at 18-2
balk-line has accepted Hoppe’s con
ditions as to a match game and has
posted a forfeit of $250 with the
Brunswick-Balke Co. This calls for
a match of 1500 points or more for
not less than $2,500. This ends a long
fight in that quarter. Sutton has al
ways wanted to meet Hoppe in an
individual game of 500 points, the
standard evening play in champion
ship series. Hoppe has always con
tended that in a game between indi
viduals 500 points was an absurdity
as a high run by either party practi
cally decided the contest and was
above all unsatisfactory to the audi
ence who pay their money to see a
real contest.
Sutton has further agreed to play
the great French champion, Firmin
Cassignol, two matches of 1500 points
each at 18-2 for a purse of $1,000.
This makes it seem probable that a
match may after all be arranged be
tween Hoppe and Cassignol, which
would be a battle of giants—Cassignol
being the equal of Hoppe in every
way.
By these arrangements 1500 points
undoubtedly becomes permanently
established as the score between balk
; line players of the first class in indi
j vidual matches.
