balk game. The interest was keen as TO
the result, as it WAS well known that Sex
ton was in the very finest form, and de-
termined to give Schaefer one Of the hard
est kind Of games. He outdid himself,
playing great billiards, put not great
enough to beat the wonderful execution OF
Schaefer. The latter was the favorite in
the betting, by 500 to so. The game
was on the race-horse order from the start
to the stop. Sexton showed the most
speed at first, but Schaefer, in the seventh
inning, made a run Of 1872, and led by 155
to 50, and followed with y, SO, II and 81,
in consecutive order, which took his score
to go, and Sexton 81. The latter in the
sixteenth inning ran Il, in the seventeenth
10 and in the eighteenth s., making 2I6
in the three innings, and thereby went to the
front with 357 to Schaefer's 32o. Schaeier
took a fresh hold in the twenty-irst in
ming with 80, and followed in the next two
innings with 80 and 96, and ran out, with
55, in the twenty-ffth inning, thus closing
the most extraordinary contest.
