CHICAGO, November 18.-The third
game of the balk line tournament was
Played tonight by Slosson and Schaefer
Schaefer had the services of w. H.
! Cotton, of ST. Louis, as his umpire. The
bank for lead was won by schaeffer,
but he failed to count and left a good
opening for Slosson, who soon worked
the balls to the lower end, but lost his
grip on them and missed an around the
table shot at Il. He got an opening IN
the third inning and made 40. when the
balls lined, and he missed the kiss to
follow. Schaefer started in good shape,
but the balls lined against the cushion.
and when he missed he gave
Slosson another set up, and he
made Al by clever work, hating
on an easy kiss shot, Schaeffer
ran ~ in spite of FIVE line breaks, and
finally missed a difficult draw shot.
SlOsson followed with thirty. missing a
oDe-cuShiOn shot for lack of speed.
Schaefer encountered difficult breaks
and was not playing well. At the end
OF the nth inning the call was-SlossOn
123, Sehaefer 90. In his seventh inning
Slosson had some ugly breaks to deal
with, but by strong play, he Overcame
them and at II had the balls well in
hand at the lower end of the rail. He
ran 81, stopping with a miscue. Slos
son inherited another set-up in his
eighth inning and with a run of q
passed to his third string, the call being
= Slosson 202, Schaefer 81. Balls were
left safe on Schaefer who again left his
opponent a gift and he ran 81 off
Of it. Schaefer now got a fair
opening, and did some superb balk-line
playing at an average width of twenty
inches. He ended at so, with a line
break in the middle of the table. and
when he missed he left SloSson's ball
frozen TO the red. Counting from the
lay of, SlossOn gathered the balls at the
upper end, and kept them well in hand
Tor handsome run of 50. Score-SlOs-
son, 342; Schaefer, Ill. For four con.
secutive innings Schaefer scored blanks,
the balls beng left very hard for him,
and Slosson maze but thirty-six, all

total to 40, Schaefer having but 1876.

tenth, and ran "a, leaving Schaefer in
the opening, but be only got 10 out of !

He did rather better in the 18th. and !
held the balls well punched in the mp |
per left hand corner for about forty /
shots. when he took them over to the |
opposite corner for 20 more. Then he !
nurSed them back again, and at II made |
a foul, and left the balls so closely |
huddied that hat would have covered !
them all. 81 IS on miscued at 20 and |
Schaefer started of again. At his |
eleventh shot. his ball was frozen to the I
white. but with superb masse outward |
his ball returned and counted again: |
st 40 the balls lined far apart, aud he |
counted with a grand masse stroke. /
Loud cheers greeted both THESE shots. /
He kept the balls well under control. |
for the most part at the upper end, but /
in changing them to the other end-he I
got them out OF easy reach, and at 50 /
failed on a One-cnshion shot. Score |
Slosson, ass; Sci sfer, $40.
