ECHOES OF THE TOURNA
MENT,
Vignaux Dissatisfied, and the
Usual Charges Of
Unfairness.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The prizes Of
fered the winners in the billiard tour
nament were awarded this evening.
The purse of 81 200 and gold minia-
ture billiard table, the symbol of the
worlds championship, were given to
Jacob Schaefer; the second prize, of
$500, to Maurice Vignaux, of France;
the third prize, $500, to Maurice
Daily; the fourth prize, $500, to Will
lam Sexton; the fifth prize, 5000, to
Alonzo Morris.
The great French player has taken
his defeat much to heart, and to an
associated press representative de-
clared the honors not fairly bestowed.
He asserted that Schaefer was allowed
to make push shots along the rail re-
peatedly, but was particularly
angry at the referee in allowing
Schaefer during his big run, to play
when the balls were frozen, the same
az though there was no contact.
This claim of Vignaux appears to
have been acknowledged just by dis
interested parties closely identified
with the contest. Vignaux also pro-
tests that he asked for a new set
of balls in the contest with Schae-
fer, but was overruled by the friends
of the latter, and this against pre-
cedent; and throughout the strug-
gle there seemed to be an endeavOr
to organize a victory for the Ameri-
can player. He has also poor opin-
ion of the plaudits of an American
audience; the uproar, he declares, ex-
ceeding the tumults at a Spanish bull
fight, and though it might not affect
the nerves of an American, partlcu-
larly if all were showered upon him,
it is liable to disconcert a foreign an
tagonist, and did him. Vignaux
illustrated how certain excited indi-
viduals picked up chairs and pound
ed the floor with them, to increase
the uproar INDUCED in when Schae-
fer started out on his run.
The features of the contest caused
certain newspapers here to quote the
opinions of various sporting authOri-
ties in outlining the belief that the
last game was not squarely confessed,
and intimating that Vignaux could
easily have defeated his antagonist at
two CT three points in the game had
Ire desired. Vignaux in an interview
stoutly denied this, and declared that
he gave his best possible exhibition
under all circumstances, and if any
chicanery was employed, it was with
out his knowledge and was in the ma
ture of attempting to organize victory
for Schaefer, before the game opened.
The movements of the players are
uncertain pending the tournament
in New York in May. It is declared
that Schaefer will not place his tro-
ply in immediate jeopardy; but that
he will consent to meet Vignaux in
an event, if the latter should elect,
before the next sixty days, the time
him. Vignaux states that
he will certainly enter the contest at
the New York tournament.
