Every one thought the champion was overstepping the mark In conceding 6,000 in 18,000 points to young Davis, but he has shown that such a hand cap was well within his power to grant. Especially In one session did Smith astonish followers of the sport when he made 750 points, his re. quired number for that night, in an hour, his opponent mefuwhile run- ning only 36.
