CHICAGO, April 6sh.-The closing game Of
the tournament, to decide the worlds cham
pionsbip at the balk-line game, was played
this evening to an audience which literally
packed Central Music Hall to the doors.
The players were Maurice Vignaux aud ia
cob Schaefer. The characteristic points of
| the game were nervousness on the part OF
both players, fue rally toward the close by
Schaefer, after Vignaux, through extreme
nervousness, failed to profit by two three
good opportunities to win. So nervous, in
deed, was he, that he could not retain
his seat while his opponent was play
ing, but moved excitedly about, while
perspiration stood out in great drops
upon his forehead. Schaefer won the
| lead, and chose the black ball. He failed
to count on the first stroke, and was followed
| by Vignaux with a run of IL. Then Schsefer
gathered 9S on bis string. Vignaux made 4
in his second inning, leaving the balls in
bad position, and Scbaefer failed to count.
The first point of special interest was by Wig.
naux in his fifth inning, when, having con-
quered for time his nervousness in the
pre- vious innings, he ran 139. The game then
stood Schaefer 70, Vignaux It's. Schaefer
then took the balls, and by the most brilliant
| play conceivable including open and close
caroms, around the table draws, masses and
| rail nursing, amaesed total of 800 The
call then stood: Schaefer 299, Vignaux
| 175. The next notable performance by Wig
naux was in the eighth inning, in which he
counted n, and in the twelfth, when he
| scored 109. Schaefer made small runs until
the 17th, when he added 95 points by rapid
play. The score then stood 44S to 423 in
Schsefer's favor. In the eighteenth inning
Vignaux made 81, and both began to show
great nervousness, making small runs and
misses In the last half of the twentieth
inning, with the game standing 492-s tie
Vignsux had the balls where he should have
made the game easily; but an over-csreful
play caused him to miss an easy stroke on
the eighteenth shot. Schaefer opened his

to win the game. The balls were in bad
position. but the little man succeeded in
making a count, and after few shots got the
balls together near the rail. From that
point to the end of his play his achievements
were most brilliant, defying description.
Again and again the balls broke badly for
him but he took every chance, however,
and with more nerve in the face of trying
circumstances brought them together again.
and ran the game out amid great and deserved
applause. Score: Schsefer-Total, 600: {:
