they deserved. He Is a lot. better than

Considering the fact that he "is

NEW CHAMPION
At Amateur Billiards He Holds Rec
ord—Won Title Past Week by Very
Brilliant Playing.
CHICAGO, March 24. Edward W.
Gardner, of l’ussale, N. J., Is the new
natloal amateur billiard champion at
14.2 bulkllne. He won the title Mon
day night by defeating .1. Ferdinand
I’oggenliurg, of New York, by a score
of 300 to 256. Foggenburg was the
favorite, owing to former < asy vic
tories over Gardner, but lie was not
equal to the emergency.
It took forty-live Innings to com
pletc the struggle, both players lie
Ing in poor form, bill I’nggenburg es j
pecially allowing tie effects of the
lung strain of the loiirnaineal. The.
New Yorker made a spurl during the
last four Innings, in which Gardner,
was plainly unsettled, and litis gave
Hie game an Intensity that kept the
crowd of three hundred present until
, almost midnight.
I’oggenbiirg fell lo the surprisingly
low average of five mid a fraction.l
ami li t opponent did little better. It
was evident front the start that tiiej
Issues which hung on the mutest bail
slowed up both men to a considerable
extent, and some of their misses were
of an Inexcusable nature.
As far as the playing of billiards
goon, the contest whs the poorest of
the tournament, with one or two ex
captions. I’oggenbiirg was plainly fa
vored by the crowd, which cheered
hla clever shot* and groaned at his
misses.
