Some Brilliant Playing by the French. man and Poor Showing by Schaefer.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The second game of
 the giants for the worlds championship was
 played tonight between Jacob Schaefer and
 Maurice Vignaux. Not less than twenty-five
 hundred people had assembled in Central
 Music Hall to witness the meeting of the
 ParisiaD and the 9sWizard" Schaefer won
 the bank and missed on the layout. He
 started in with his fourth inning with the score 20 to against him. The "Wizard" and his cardigan jacket got to the front and
 before the balls refused to respond to his magic touch Schaefer had scored 132 by his usual scientific nursing. The Frenchman failed to keep the balls for more than and schaefer again did the nursing act for 45. As on the previous night Mrs. Vignaux was an interesting spectator and the strained and hopeless look she wore during the early part of the game forsook her face when in the eleventh inning her burly husband after a wonderful exhibition of open table play succeeded in getting the balls in hand and before he let go of them heard the basso-baritone voice of Charley Matthews call 166. The run of the French man was generously applauded as he passed the 100 and the 125 point, and when he scored the best run so far made-133-the applause was deafening. Schaefer showed signs of weariness Vignaux continued to roll up points and when the latter passed the 150 corner lay back with the suggestive Sehaefer shrug of the shoulders and prepared to take things easy. The Frenchman had finally struck his gait and went on until he quit on an easy cushion draw. The Wig naux run of 166 seemed to have some effect on the Schaefer nerve and for the next few innings Jacob took the only sure method of handicapping himself-by being careful. Of course he made but few billiards and the stock of the Parisian sensibly advanced until in the fifteenth inning Schaefer changed his luck by again tightly buttoning the cardigan and with well chalked cue and determination approached the table. When he sat down he had 62 points to better his score. Mrs. Vignaux looked troubled and Billy Sexton smiled approvingly on the "Wizard." Al though the balls were left in very bad con- dition for Vignaux, he got them to- gether with a complicated cushion draw and kept them ln hand until eighty six were added to his score. For the next three innings it was slaughter ing match with Schaefer in the role of victim. The Wizard" seemed to have lost heart and only came to the table to miss. VignauX did not play any particularly brilliant bill liards, but continued to increase his lead anG the only hope the friends of Schaefer had was in his great running reserve power. It looked, however, as if Jake was done for, for in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth innings he counted but B. retiring baby shots each time. The game then stood: Wig naux $40, Sehaefer 39s. A promising run was spoiled at 34 by Vignaux missing when he had tile balls all together. He failed on simple carom and left the balls . punched, but Schaefer was still in losing mood and could gather but six from the Frenchmau's leave. Schaefer opened the twenty-fourth inning with count of 4. Wig naux followed with 26 and 10, closing the game. Following is the score by innings: lo, $, H. g, i8 as, B. s4 1s, 26, 1o-6o0
