World’s Championship at 18:2. The foregoing code governs, with the following amendments and additions as adopted by the undersigned players finally on April 4, 1906:
Sec. 4 is made partially inoperative as to a challenge issued at any time within sixty days of the expiration of the two years’ term. The champion must cover the forfeit, and himself either play or forfeit, even if challenged as late as the day before his term would otherwise expire.
Sec. 8 is amended so as to require a railing around the table, and “not less than seven feet from the outer edge of the table.”
Secs. 8 and 9 together are modified thus: “There shall be no marker.”
The championship term in Sec. 12 is contingently prolonged as provided in Sec. 4 above.
15. The holder of the Emblem has the right to choose the city wherein the contest shall take place. However, he is bound to select a city located in the country in which he or his opponent has his legal residence. In case of a disagreement between the parties as to the selection of a hall or room in which the contest shall take place, the donors of the Emblem shall have the final decision.
16. All litigious points that might be raised by either of the competitors in connection with the challenge herein mentioned, either before, or during, or after the contest for the World’s Championship Emblem of the 18–inch balkline (2 shots in) game of billiards, shall be settled, without appeal, by the donors of the said Emblem, and the competitors shall have to sign a copy of the present rules, accepting The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. as supreme referee in all difficulties that may arise between them on account of the contest.
