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

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-

In six innings, for an average of 125.
