Stockwell, Norwich ....... 2 6 for our best physicians, and publics CHARLES C. COX, Challenger for Van Wickle Medal. Thursday’s play in the games in the National Roque tournament at the grounds in Rockwell street changed the complexion of things in several ways that promise to have a bearing on some | of the important results of the tourna- \ ment. | _Chief among these was the entry of Champion Eddie Clark into tournament play with a burst of speed that swept all before, and enabled him to close the day with a clean string of four games won and none lost, that makes him appear as a pennant possibility at once. Incidentally the champion in- cluded among his victims Charlie Cox, iwho up to then had not lost a game, that Clark made an inroad into the record of one of his dangerous op- | ponents. For Van Wickle Medals. In the Van Wickle medal play in the evening Clark also was in rare form,| and took two games from Cox, who is | the challenger for the possession of the | | medal. This puts Clark in the easy po- | sttion of having won three games, while | | Cox has but one, so that Clark needs only one more game to retain his hold on ‘the trophy. But roque is a pro- verbially uncertain game, and many a man has come from the rear when ali seemed lost. In the Van Wickle games Thursday evening Clark sailed through the first one, leaving Cox scarcely a chance, and | the Malden player got only a wicket or two with one ball. Starting the second game Clark als got away In the lead, but made a mi caleulation, and Cox took the balls and proceeded to do to his opponent what that gentleman had done to him in the | game before. All was proceeding mer- rily as a wedding bell for Cox, and the chances looked bright when Clark suddenly pulled off a remarkable bor- der shot, and thereafter the game was his. Cox made as far as the cage with one of his balls and had gotten through the cage and one arch beyomd with the otlier one. In Second Division. While these two games were going on in the center court, B. . Bwer of Oregon and G. L. Hewitt of Mansfield were engaged in the play for the sec- ond division Van Wicile medal. Hew itt had taken one game on Wednesday night, and he added one more with i tle aifficulty in the first game they played Thursday night. The second game was more of a struggle and was prolonged till nearly 11 o'clock before Hewitt finally tucked this also away. When Hewitt had worked both balls around fo the gage on the way home he slipped up, and | Bwer captured the spheroids and gave his opponent a number of anxious mo- ments for a period. Ewer played carefully and got one of his b around to the cage on the way home when he accidentally gave ¥ open shot, and it was “good-night. putting his_balls out, however, He: ran up against a difficulty, as ‘the fir: one hit the stake and lodged right there in the way of the other onemak- ing It impossible to reach the stake on a direct line. Hewitt overcame the | difficulty by a successfuly bank shot | which landed his second ball against the stake. E. W. Robinson’s Good Day. In the firt division play E. W. Rob- inson, who was advanced from the second diyision when the tournament began, put in a profitable day for him- | self and won all four games that he played, taking the scalps of Jacobus, Kirk, Spelman and Williams. This was the first game that Williams has lost. This Washington player had previous- ly taken a part in breaking the clean sheet of another man, J. C. Kirk of Philadelphia, who also had to bow to the superior skill of Champion Clark when they met in the latter part of the afternoon. For Professor Jacobus the day brought his first winning game. He stacked up against G. Maurer, the New Jersey player, and succeeded in com- ing off the victor. Maurer has played little, and the effect is quite evident, as he has yet to win a game. When he was here at a former tournament | it took one of the best men in the game to beat him and he made a strong bid | for the championship. Champion Clark Allowed to Enter Late Champlon Kddie Clark secured per-| mission to enter the tournament by special application to the arrangement committee on Thursday morning. It is a touranment rule that no entries can be made after Wednesday noon with- out permission of (he arrangement committee. This conaists of H. T.| Webb (chairman), ¥, M, Thompson, W. L. Robinson, L. ¢, Wlliamson and C. C. Cox. They decided that Mr, Clark might enter if he would agree to have all his games played by 12 o'clock Saturday night. This he agreed to do. This gives him four games a day to play, He completed this number on Thursday, First Division Games.
