Jackson Won All His Games

Detroit Tribune. -- Clarence Jackson climbed to fifth from ninth last week, in the Interstate Three Chushion Billiard league by winning all his games on a road trip through the west.

Jackson is the first player around the circuit to go out and win five in a row, on the road, without suffering a defeat.

Helm [of] Cleveland and Maupome [of] St. Louis, have both won four out of five on the road, however.

Jackson finished up his road trip by trimming "Jess" Lean, his mate on the Sweeney-Huston team, Friday night. Lean, in spite of the defeat is still tied for thirteenth place with Hascall of Milwaukee.

(Clarence is a former resident of Simcoe and one of the best billiard players in America.)

[Compiler's Comment: from independent research: Clarence Livingstone Jackson was the only child of Sheriff Joseph Jackson and his second wife Marion Livingstone.]
