IF remarkable feats of Edouard Horemans, the Belgian billiard- ist, at 18.1 and 18.2 balkline, form the chief topic of conversation in billiard cirefes. His rung of 701 at 18.2 and 207 at 18.1, both of which eclipsed anything ever before record- ed at these styles of play under championship conditions, have led to many discussions and comparisons with the work of other cue wielders. The previous high runs made by Frank Ives and Willie Hoppe have been minutely examirfed and even the stanchest supporters of these other stare have been forced to admit that thelr performances dwindle into al- most insignificance when submitted to the glare of comparison with Hore- mans's recent work, Althoug the records made by Hore- ruins cannot be accepted officially as work!’s marks because, they were made in exhibitions, the fact stands cut in bold relief that they were aide under the sume conditionsy that ob- tain in championship jousts. The tatle was a full 6x10, had been levelled, ac- curately marked with the balklines and was covered with the best grade of S$ monis cloth. The balls had been measured an? hed and found to be as perfect as any of champlonship ivories | ever employed. Furthermore, and what i# really of greater importance | when making the comparison with other reconl-making achievements, the Dr, Harley Parker anchor box of seven Inches square was druwn at the anchor spaces, ‘The first of a series of home and| Horemans, Belgian Cue Star, Scores Record High Runs Under New Playing Conditions| At Judge Landis | It is generally believed that Ives used No such barrier existed when Ives and Hoppe made their runs. It is this fact that makes Horomans's perform- ances so impressive, With the seven- inch anchor box it is impossible for any of the continuous nurses, fre- quently used In the past to make high runs, to be used. The anchor, chuck nurse and rub nurse are effectually barred by the anchor box in its pres- ent form. It leaves only the line humee, and this cannot be clnased as a continuous nurse for the position of the balls is continually changing. In other words, there js no chance now to play continually dff a frozen bat 48 was porsible when the chuck nurse was permiasible. When Frank Ives made his run of 777 in 1895 at Madrid, Spain, it was at 14.2 balkline on a 41-2 x 9 table, The anchor was barred, but no an- chor box was drawn on the table and the chuck er some similar nurse, When Willie Hoppe made his ron of 621 in Paris in 1906 the anchor shot was barred but, again, no anchor boxes were drawn on the table, It ts reasonable, therefore, to assume that Willie used the chuck nurse to some extent. The fact that no anchor boxes were drawn on the tables when these per- formances were being made means that perhaps twenty or more times during the runs the balls were in anchor and permitted to remain there for a series of shots. This woulkl have terminated the runs under pres- ent day conditions, The entire development of balkline Dilllards is built around the anchor box. Jake Schaefer was the first player to make a sizeable run. While playing against Frank Ives in 1893 Schaefer ran 343 and won the match by a score of 4,000 to 3,955, “The Wizard” nged the anchor shot in this run. He really was the first player to perfect it. At that time it was a legitimate shot. Dowling matchow rolled with other dapartment teams home matches between teams that are going to Buffalo to rpll in tie!
