The ploy for the first hundred was by no meaus up to arade, thero being but two dJonble-figure runs, and both 6f them (34 and 11) by Rhines. Parker was in the worst of luck, and hils exccutich was ot times not much botter than hisluck. Ho stood at 43 when Rhines turned. The sccond hnudred showed an {mprovement In the play on both sides. Rhines mado double Ogures five timos, and his average, which at tho end of bis firat hundred was just 4, wss In- creased a fraction. Parker also began to liven up his game. In his forty-fifth inning he played A pretty run at the foot of the table for 02, which brought him within twenty-ono polnts of his adversary, and helped the cournge of his backers amazingly. Soven foninzs later Purker had the balls at the head of the table o few moments, and pulled out 23, putting him within six_points, In the fifty-fourth inning Parker took the lead for the firat ting In the game. Two foniugs later the game was_tied, and 1t swung backward and forward for quite a space, the lead alternating four times in hardly ater number of shots, The cxcite- ment at this stags was fntensc, and there was plenty of appiause, n the sixty-seventh inning, when Dump was 23 behind, he sccured the balls on the sido rail and ran a beautiful 89, by which ho touk the lead,only to be deorived of 1t (n the next funing by Parker’s 19. Again, Inthe twenty- sevonth inuing, Rhines got up within three, but Parker elimbed away again with a dozen, From thia point Parker kept the lead to tho elghty-fifth Inning, when Rlines took n spell rt tho work on thu lower rail, and rollod out 25,which put him clght to thegood, Havingadded 10tothis, Rhines held the Tead until the cighty-nlnth fnuing,when he was 17 ahead; but just then Parker gathered the lot in the lower rizht-hand corner, und took the lead with a beautifully-played 63, his largest run, and the best billiaras of the game, From lhere ho had it about ns ho wanted ¢, and won with case.
