There have been farger runs in non-champiouship ontests, Hoppe « collecting 807 in «a ournament in Chicago in 1906, but Packing the titular clement. 1f, how ver, was u scratch fourncy. in which he champion, Sutton, com peted, and why record of 307 loes not stand is puzzling. However. he records of the RBrunswick-Balke Jollender company, which staged the ourney, do not credit Hoppe with an pfficial record he tourney is refor- d a professional competition. Later on Hoppe made a run of 308 fin 2 handicap tourney in this city, but s this was not a scratch competition o performanc cepted as rec- ords.

Yet the balk lines were but eight inches from the ushion and the play, therefore, uch easter than at the present ance of 18 inches. Still the 246 of the Frenchman has tood all these 46 years, only to be oh- iterated by a boy who first saw the light of day 24 vears after the Paris an had made the run. Sutton Ran 235 in The nearest previou he Vignaux record was made by Jeorge Sutton in 1909, when, in a ournament for the title, he rolled up 5. Sutton also holds the high sin- | le average of 100 in a championship ompetition, which he made in a 500 oint game in 1906, and in addition | olds the best grand average of 24.14, pchieved in the same competition in 1906 As Sutton’s records and the run just nade by Cochran were at 18 inch balk ine they must be admitted to be su- perior to the 246 made by Vignaux at | pight inch balk line. Up to the time that Cochtan began piling upp the points in the cleventh nning of his game with George Slos- on the youngster had been playing | very indifferently and the veteran Blosson was holding the hoy on even erms. Slosson made five points in his enth inning and when he missed un- intentionally left the balls in favorable | position for a run | It was exactly to the liking of the | oungster and he proved that he was al to the sion, for his touch vas light and sure as he began lose line nurse at the foot of the le. | Gently he led the balls along the end | frail for short and delicate ball to ball | roms, employing an occasional draw | masse, and on few occasions made use of the cushion to hold position Makes Use of Dead Ball Drive.

His deft sue work brought them along, how- ver, and he had them well in hand ntil 200. He held them cloxely under ontrol until 233, when there was an- ther break which his masterful use f the cue quickly subdued. From that point to the completion £ his string Cochran had the ivorfes s0 closely bunched on the short line 1909, approach fo | oc e as | Spring | the battle and | heat, hat a hat might have covered them.

Only the fact that he had complet- ed his quota of 400 points for the game prevented a general slaughter of high run records of all description. Cochran added to his brilliant lord when in the evening match disposed of Young Jake Schaef foppe's greatest rival for the tourn honors. He beat Schaefer by a ot 400 to : Hoppe an Easy Victor.
