WAS NOT ON THE SQUARE
Pool Game Hall Played in Cheyenne
Was "Understood."
Fred 1. lHall, the champion pool player
of the world, has been taught a lesson tby
his recent experience in Cheyenne, Wyo,
Hall met Charles Kitzmiller in a game in
Cheyenne and. allowed the latter to defeat
him.
Immediately afterward the news of the
defeat went forward and h1all was com
pelled to acknowledge that the contest was
understood. Evidently Hall wished to trim
a few of the lambs of Cheyenne and did
so, and finding the contest chalked up
against hint as a defeat, had to uncover
the whole scheime. In relation to the ('hey
enne game in which lie lost by a score of
loo to o ie says:
"'Why, there was nothing to it. Kitz
miller is a good fellow, but not especially
brilliant at pool. I could have played all
rountd him andl made ioo points while
he was scoring .I5 if I had tried, but I went
into the contest promllsing to let hint win
by a fair margin. I didn't know he would
noise it about the country or I wouldn't
have done it.
"Doing mlly best I could have rolled up
a.to while he was doing ioo. 'To prove Illy
sincerity, if Kitnziller can he induced to
meet me again I will deposit $2S to be for
feited in case I do not double his score.
