 CHICAGO, Nov 19.-The fourth game of
 the tournament brought out the largest au
 dience yet assembled in Central Music Hall.
 Mime. Vignaux and George Slosson and wife
 occupied adjoining boxes and eagerly watch
 ed the players. Vignaux was the first to ar
 rive and as he stepped on the stage with the fs a}tointed cue, he was given hearty Fsz
 ception Schaefer followed few minutes
 afterward and as he appeared with his nex-
 vous tread, closely followed by Billy Cation,
 the applause for the 'little Dutchman" was
 deafening. Referee McCreery announced
 that the game of Friday night would be
 game and slosson, and between
 Slosson and the winner Saturday night. For
 the third time the ''Wizard'' won the bank,
 but quit with a single button. Vignau1 in
 augurated lead by runs of 27, 10 and IA,
 while Jacob looked hopeless and played in a
 give-it-up manner. In the latter part of the
 eighth inning the burly French expert by
 hard and brilliant open table play got the
 balls in hand, and when Marker Matthews
 called 50 the position of the worries prom
 ised run. Vignanx disappointed his ad-
 mirers by quitting on simple carom and the E'Wizard" after making ten applause producing shots, all knocked out with his old time dash, succeeded in gathering the spheres and kept them clicking at the rate of % to the minute until he had bettered his score by "A. Vignau1 followed by run of 55 and Schaefer missed an easy carom, which elicited a groan of dis gust Vignaux watched the ''leave" for a full minute before approaching the table. He commenced to play with a rush and did not allow the balls to break until 5o were added to his count. The spheres were then on the upper rail in straight line and the audience was treated to the finest shot of the tournament, Q com bined kiss three cushion draw. His stolid face lighted up at the volume of applause given him. After making 63 a miscue on cushion draw stopped him. Schaefer again failed to count and the Frenchman followed with runs of 63, 57 and 13. Schaefer's stock rose to par in the first half of the thirteenth inning, when after @ brilliant three-sushion gathering shot he got the balls in hand and
 held them so until he was 97 better off. The ! game then stood: Vignaux 327, Schaefer 1S1. Vignaux followed with 29 and again the l wizard" made an effort against the luck he has been in. With double cushion draw he got the spheres in nursing shape and again l the rapid click click of the worries echoed as | he srapidly fondled them with the tip of his cue. He quit with 152 and the score then stood Vignaux 356, Schaefer 336. " winner when in the first half of the seven | teenth inning he for the first time took the | lead by score of 428 to 360 for Vignaux. | The excitement was now intense and proba- \ bly, for the first time an American audience 1 witnessed the phlegmatic Frenohman show ! evidence of nervousness. A nod from his | wife, however, seemed to revive his nerve 1 power and in the latter part of the nineteenth 1 inning he waxed the balls until they netted ! him "A, leaving the game: Schaefer 46S, l Vignaux 446. Schaefer opened the twentieth | inning in his old time jovial way with a run of no, receiving an ovation when he turned | the 100 notch. In the next two innings both men made single figures, each of them play I ing in nervous, jerky manner. In the last | half of the twenty y-sscond inning Vignaux | scored 36 and the "Wizard" followed with a goose egg. The twenty-third netted single | figures for each.
