The closing game of the tournament to
decide the worlds championship 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 and Jacob Schaeffer.
The characteristic points OF the game were
nervousness on the part of both players,
a fine rally toward the close by
Schaeffer, after Vignaux, through ex-
treme nervousness, failed to profit
by two or three good opportunities to
win. Sonervous, indeed, was he, that he
could not retain his seat while his op-
ponent was playing, but moved excitedly
about, while the perspiration stood out in
great drops upon his forehead. Schaeffer
won the lead, chose black ball, failed to
count on the first stroke, and was followed
by Vignaux with run of eleven. Then
Schaeffer gathered thirty eight on his string.
Vignaux Imade 4 in his second inning,
leaving the balls in bad position, and
Schaeffer failed to count. The first point
of special interest was b. Vignaux in the
fifth inning, when, having cong uered for
time mis- nervousness in the previous in
nings, he ran 139, the game then standing,
Schaeffer, 20; Vignaux, 175. Schaetfer then
took the balls, and by the most
brilliant play conceivable, in
cluding open and close caroms,
around-the-table shots, draws, masses and
rail nursing, amassed a total of 22O. The
call then stood Schaeffer 299, Vignaux IT'S.
The most notable performances by Wig
naux in the eighth inning, in which he
counted n, and in the twelfth inning when
he scored 107, Schaeffer making small
runs until the seventeenth, when he
added 95 points by rapid play. The score
then stood 448 to 423 in SchaeHer's favor.
In the eighteenth inning Vignaux made
50, and both began to show great nervous
ness, making small runs and misses. In
the last half of the twentieth inning, with
the game standing 492, a tie, Vignaux had
the balls where he should have made the
game easily, but over careful play caused
him to miss an easy stroke on the eighteenth
shot. Schaeffer opened the twenty-frst
inning with tho l08 necessary
to win the game. The balls were in bad
position, bat the little man succeeded in
making count, and after few shots got
the balls together near the rail. From
that point to the end his play was of the
most brilliant and daring description.
Again and again the balls broke badly for
him. He took every chance, however, and
with rare nerve in the face of trying cir
| cCmstances, brought them together again
| and ran the game out, amid great and
deserved applause.
