=247. Billiards.=--In billiard matches the chief thing to note, in
addition to points already mentioned in other sporting news stories, is
the scoring of the individual runs. If it is necessary to write up the
individual innings, the same style is used as indicated in golf and
racing stories.

| =HOPPE OUTPLAYS YAMADA= |
| |
|Boston, Oct. 21.--Willie Hoppe, the champion, led |
|Koji Yamada, his Japanese challenger, 1,000 to 743 |
|points at the close of their second night's play for|
|the 14.1 balkline billiard championship at |
|Convention Hall this evening. Yamada's total |
|to-night was 396. As was the case last night, both |
|men played carefully, which accounted for the long |
|time necessary to finish the game. |
| |
|Hoppe's high run was 104, and came late in the |
|contest, his average being 19 6-26. Yamada's best |
|run was 82, and as it came soon after a run of 75, |
|it enabled him to take the lead from the American |
|for the first time in the match. His average was 13 |
|22-25. |
| |
|Yamada in the first half of the game gave a pleasing|
|display in which for the first time he showed |
|brilliancy at the masse. Hoppe was not up to form |
|during the early innings and got his points only by |
|hard struggle. Both players had a good deal of open |
|table shooting to do. The score: |
| |
|Hoppe--49, 30, 2, 31, 3, 0, 22, 5, 23, 24, 4, 0, 8, |
|0, 17, 7, 55, 0, 44, 11, 104, 31, 0, 24, 5, 7--500. |
|Average, 19 6-26. |
| |
|Yamada--9, 2, 1, 45, 30, 0, 75, 0, 45, 4, 2, 82, 0, |
|1, 31, 1, 0, 0, 9, 2, 3, 0, 1, 7, 3--347. Average, |
|13 22-25.[34] |
