CHICAGO, March 27.-The second game
in the great belk line billiard tournament
was played this afternoon between Lou
Norris, of Chicego, and VIM. Sexton, of
New York, and was won by the latter, the
score being, Sexton, 600; Morris, 532. The
contest was featureless, as Sexton took the
lead at the opening and held it to the close,
his playing being a series of finely execut-
ed cushion, carom, and around the table
shots, fully sustaining his we'll known rep
utation as an expert. Morris was not in
good form, and his best efforts were labo-
rious and devoid of interest Sexton's
highest run was Ill, with an average of IL.
Morris highest run was 89,with an average
of 81. The individual score by innings
was as follows:
Morris, 10, 1, 80, 16, Is, Is, 4, A. l, 5, 1, 3,

The third contest in the balk-line
billiard tournament was played this even
ing between Jacob Schaeffer, of New York,
and Thos. Wallace,of Chicago,and was won
by the former, the score at the close stand
ing Schaeffer 600, Wallace 336. The usual
large audience was present and the interest
unabated. The players discarded the full
dress adopted last evening and seemed
more at ease in short jackets. The New
Yorker won the choice, selected the spot
ball and missed. The play was unevent
full up to the fifth inning, when Wallace
assumed the lead by run of AZ very fine
points. The twelfth inning closed with
Wallace 163, ,Schaeffer 134. The New Yorker
! then picked up SO quickly, giving
him the lead, which he continued to hold
until the close of the game. On the 9th
inning Schaeffer made magnificent run
Of 205, the highest thus far in the tourna-
ment. In this run, when he turned 161
points, which equaled Vignaux's highest
Of last evening, the applause was very
hearty, and when a moment later he con-
tinued rapidly, the cheers were deafening
from all parts of the house. His succeed
ing play was excellent, and at 10 o'clock
he closed the game with run of IL, Wal
lace having only 336 to his credit. The
play throughout was rapid by both con-
testants, endwas marked by some splendid
exhibitions of two-cushion, reverse, Eng
lish shots. Betting before the game had
