Both matches went 23 in- nings, and were -oorly played. Greenleaf and Taberski started to play their match Wednesday night but after Greenleaf twice had left the playing arena and had stalled several times, Taberski unjointed his cue, refused to play and pro. tested the match. The National Bil- liard association, sponsor of the tournament, upheld Taberski on one complaint and ordered the match replayed. Greenleaf led 95 to 81 at the protest. Last night and early today the match was replayed and so bitter were the players that once, in the first match, Referee Joe Orr of Chi- cago had difficulty in restraining them from balting play to quarrel. Taberski was ahead and about to shoot when he complained that Greenleaf was moving his cue back and forth to bother his aim. As Taberski resumed play, he mumbled something about “that shark.” Greenleaf hopped up from his scat. “You can’t call me a shark and -fl;,-c../u SUNDAY Continuous From 2:30 5 Big Acts 5 Vaudeville The Biggest Stage Show in the State On the Screcn BELLE BENNETT —in— “THE POWER OF SILENCE" ——ee FREE Auto Parking For 500 Cars COOME EARLY — 3 SHOWS LAST TIMES TODAY AT 2:15 AND 8:15 “JAZZ TIME REVUE” New Year’s Eve Celebration PALM GARDEN EAST WARTFORD IATD—-NOII!::\HIRI—I‘VOIS—- 147 Dencing Until 6 A.
