For 52 inninRs his Karne against Charles AlcCourt of Pittsburgr in the Davis parlors last night Clarence Jackson, of Detroit, gave a splendid exhibition of safety play.

McCourt. however, started going after that and had no difficulty winning- by a 50 to 36 score. The contest was a regularly scheduled Inter-State Billiard league affair, and the usual large crowd of spectators was on hand. McCourt's triumph tightens his hold on the lead and he now- has a good chance of landing the championship. Seven Straight for Jaspers.
