games. Schaefer felt deeply chagIined at
his two defeats and expressed great conf
dence in his winning to-night's game.
The betting was lively at even money, as
Vignaux Lad shown in the game of Tues
day night that he was equal in strength of
play to either OF the Americans. Schaefer
won the bank for lead and counted from
the lay-off. He missed the second shot,
an easy one-eushion. Vignaux made a
run of 81 in his second inning, stopping
with the balls in line as he missed a bank
shot. Schaefer started in slowly and
played in a ragged fashion, having no
knaek Of controlling the balls. In hrs
half of the eighth inning Vignaux ran SO,
and the score stood 1879 to s in his
favor. He left the balls close together for
Schaeier, who handled them rather clum-
silly for a time and was obliged to resort
to long drives and difficult shots. He
stopped at 7 by reason Of a faulty drive
shot and left the balls punched Tor Wig
naux. The foreigner played with precis
ion and command, and in his customary
stolid and memorable way piled up -.
He left Schaefer a fair opening, but the
New Yorker missed weakly. Again TIE
Partisan proceeded in his mastery style
to demolish Schaefer's chances for a big
prize, this time making a run of 63. in
which some superb shots occurred. One
was 3 two cushion bank for position,
another a draw shot at an angle acr,ss
the entire width Of the table, and the
third was a combination kiss shot around
the table for five cushions. The three
balls lay in line close together against
the head OF the cushion. A follow
shot was out of the question and a
straight kiss impracticable. With con-
summate calculation the big foreigner
played on the white and thereby kissed
the red over toward the right hand corner
where his own ball met it and counted on
its return from a trip around the table.
The great shot was loudly cheered. At
63 he stopped with a difficult draw to the
cushion. Once more in his eleventh in
ming Vignaux added to his big total, this
time with a well played run of 81. The
score was now 3l4 to 81, in his favor
Schaefer miscued and missed in his
twelfth inning from sheer nervousness.
Nignaux followed with 10, missing on a
one cushion bank. He left the balls hard
for Schaefer, who opened out with a
screaming masse shot, and in one or two
more shots got the balls in hand for a
good long run. He seemed to
gather self control as he went
along. and although not playing
with his usual stroke did extremely well
At o. he spread the balls wide apart by a
faulty drive and then missed a hard draw
shot Score, Yignaux 1927, Schaefer ISL.
As usual, Vignaux found a set-up and
worked it 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 a hard one too gave HIM a
good position and with the best playing
he had yet done he went on with a beau
tiul run At 40 he iroze to the red ana
