TRIED Tfl CARVE BILLIARD BALLS FROM COW'S HORKS Harry Cline, Who WUI Play Here With the Champion Billing Players' League, Born On a Farm in Lan caster County Harry Cline, the ex-chauipion 18:2 billiard pliyer was from his youth of an inventive turn of mind. The first real disappointment of his lu'e was his failure to curve a set of billiard balls from the horns of a cow. Cline's father was a farmer in l*n caster county. Pa., and Harry was o: rural habits until he visited the billiard room of the country hotel at Lancaster, which his father conducted in connec tion with his farm. Youag Cline was at on,*e fascinated with the game but on account of his youth wus forbidden to p!av the game. At that day the environments of a bil liard room were not considered the best ! influence to throw around one of tender years. But that was years ago and i things have changed, j But Harrv liked billiards and was j determined to play the game. At first Ihe utilised a corner of the loft of his father's barn. There he covered a smooth pine board with green Canton flannel cloth, railed it with cotton-cov ered lathes, converted an umbrella stick into a cae and used larje marbles, suvh I as the boys of those days called "Peb bles. ' for the balls. It was an unique ' iuveutiou ami for a time Satisfied the asperations of the embreyo champion, but not for long. Harry yearned for some real billiard bails, just like the ones used on the table in his father's hotel. His investi gation led him to the knowledge of the I fact thit the best balls were made of J ivory, and he also learned that ivory came from the tusks of elephants, i Now, there were no elephants on the i Cline farm in Lancaster county, but ; there was an old red and white cow w 'th®, reputation of being rather meek. If billiard balls were made from the j tusks of elephjtits why not from the \ horns of cowsT At least so reasoned the young genius ot the Clme family, and the reasoning was accompanied by visions of his heart "s desire. And so with the aid of a rope and a saw and a neighbor's son the meek and lowly member of the Cb.ne dairy was deprived of her port side weapon of defense. And then the youthful Haw dis covered that cows - horns could "never be successfully used as billiard baits. Harry s disappointment was as ,leer> as his secret but deeper than both was the mystery of the iost horn. The loss oT this bit of headgear in no way affected tne vaiue of the cow as a milk producer but for years afterwards the whole countryside spoke of the Cline's one homed cow. In time the elder Clin? withdrew his objections to his sou taking up the game and his exoertness soon won him more than local fame. Later in life he annexed the three cushion and then in Jan uary. 1911. at Orchestra hail. Chicago, he won the 18:2 title from Calvin De marest. bur it to WiMie Hoppe in v } v £ il !e faale vear at the New York theatre. Cline is one of the members of the BiUiard P,ave;s ' league and will be seen ln this oitv this «enson he will r ] Ey other mombers ot this organisation of .■hampions.
