The BiI1iard tournament


Yignaux were the contestants in the
fourth game OF the balk-line tOurna-
ment The attendance was again very
large, though less than that of the pre-
leding games.
Schaefer felt deeply chagrined at his
two defeats and expressed great con-
idence Ia his winning tO-night's
game Betting VS. lively at

shown in the game OF Tuesday night

won the bank for lead and counted

shot. and easy one-cushion. Vignaux
made run Of 81 in his second inning,
stopping with the balls in line as he
missed bank shot. Schaefer
started in slowly and played
in a ragged fashion, having no knock of
controlling the balls. In his half of the
Stb inning, Vignaux ran SO, and the
score stood 139 to in his favor. He
left the balls close togetherfor Schaefer,
who handled them rather clumsy for a
time, and was obliged to resort to long
drives and difficult shots. He stopped
at Il by reason of faulty drive-shot,
and left the balls punched for Vignaux.
The foreigner played with precision and
self-cOmmand, and in his customary
stOlid and memorable way piled up So.
He lett Schaefer fair opening, but the
New Yorker missed weakly again. The
Partisan proceeded in a mastery style
to demolish Schaefer's chances for the
big prize, this time making a run of 63,
in which some snperb shots Oe-
Cured. One was two-eushiOn
bank for position, another was
draw shot at an angle
across the entire width of the table and
the third was q combination kiss shot
around the table for FIVE cushions
Three balls lay in line close together
against the head of the cushion;
follow shot was out of the question and
straight kiss impractieable; with con-
Summate calculation the big foreigner
PLAYED on the white and thereby kissed
the red over toward the right hand cor
neg, where his own ball met it and count
ed on It's return from the trip around
the table. This great shot was loudly
cheered. At IS he stopped on diff
cult draw to the cushion. Once more,

big total this time with well played
ran OF 81. The score was now 3l4 to
81. IN MS favor. Sehaefer miscued
and missed in his twelfth inning from
sheer nervousness, Vignaux followed
with Is, mi sing on q one-cushion bank.
He left the balls hard for Schaeffer, who
opened with a screaming masSe shot,
and In one or two more shots got the
balls IL hand for a good long run, He

Vignaux found a sc up and worked 1t
for %. when he finally missed on a hard
bank shot. He left Schaefer a tough
break, but the little man went after it
around the table and got it; another
shot. and 3 hard one, too, gave him
good position and with the best play
ing he had vet done, he went on with
BEAUTIFUL run. At IS he froze to the
red and banked successfully. Again

stuck fast to the red, this time IN such

During ali this time Vignaux stood
near the table constantly, and kept his
eyes on Schaefsr. Twice he claimed no
