All matches are for the jeweled emblem and $500 a side, 500 points up. The first was also the last of this series.
Vignaux vs. Sutton. Grand Hotel, Paris, January 29, 1904. V., 500—19.23—148; S., 496—128.
Another Tie in General Averages. Yearly championship of the N. Y. A. C. at 14:2, closing February 26th.—Dr. Walter G. Douglas had for years been the club’s champion at both caroms and pool (beaten at the latter this year), and the tournament of 1903 is given only because of the rarity of an exact tie in general averages, which might not have occurred, however, had not Percy Gardner forfeited to J. V. B. Rapp.
| W. | R. | Av. | G. A. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Douglas | 3 | 32 | 4.80 | 4.41 |
| Rapp | 2 | 38 | 5.21 | 4.41 |
| Kinsman | 1 | 22 | 3.33 | 2.86 |
| Gardner | 0 | 15 | 2.42 | 1.94 |
