NO DIVISION OF MONEY
would be made. At 8:14 o'clock the two
players banked for the lead, and Scaeffer
won by hair. He counted from the lay
off and gathered the balls, but missed the
second shot-an easy one-cushion. The
balls were left in a line, but by banking to
the opposite cushion, Slosson counted, and
held them well together; he played them
well for run of 63, and had a good po.
sition at the rail when he failed to get the
balls out of the balk on the second shot.
Schaeffer found a good opening, but spoiled
it on draw to the cushion. Slosson
picked off II and missed a one-cushiOn.
Schaeffer had an opportunity in the fifth
of play was very poor, and he stopped at
IT.. Slosson played his seventh inning Tor
the run of 27, and he, too, showed con-
siderable nervousness. Schaeffers miss OF
an easy one-cushion shot in the eighth left
set up, and

in good shape once more, and at A.
stopped on delica te one-cushiOn effort.
This time the balls were left grouped for
Sehaeffer, who quickly ratified up "a, only
to fail on an easy short draw fer position,
leaving the usual set up. At the end OF the
seventh inning the call was, Slosson, 121;
Schaeffer, So. Slosson increased his lead
with run of 33 in the ninth, missing
delicate kiss back from the cushion.
ochaeffer profited by the fine set up by
making his best run thus far. The balls
lined on him three consecutive times, but
he counted with as many masse shots. He
kept on until he had made a very pretty
run OF "A, when he came to grief on very
easy draw and left the balls in q heap. The
call was. Slosson, 1913; Schaeffer, 1872.
Slosson then passed to his third string with
a run of 90. Score-Slosson, 221; Schaef-
fer 1872. Schaeffer in his eleventh inning
missed plain two-cushion shot and again
left the balls well for Slosson, who at 36
missed a hard cross-table kiss shot, in
which he had to use the bridge. Schaeffer
responded with 26, missing an easy draw
shot in an unaccountable manner. The
balls were left at the head rail as well as
Slosson could have placed them with his
fingers, but
HE DID NOT HANDLE THEM VERY WELL,
and stopped at 2S, before having spread
t!,e balls badly. This seemed to give
.>ci,aeier courage, for he settled down to
business and played a magnificent run Of
1O7, sto, o,ping on a tough left-hander.
Slosson, 2S5; Schaeffer 265. Slosson was
perceptibly shaken by Schaeffer's rush OF
speed, and played his next two innings
very poorly. Schaeffer in the fifteenth made
a neat run of ~, and now was squarejy
ahead for the first time (3O7 to 293). A
set up gave Slosson run OF ~ IN the
seventeenth, and he again was in front 1886
to Schaeffer's 3OS). But Schaeffer was not
to be shaken off. He dashed in for another
big run in the eighteenth inning, and never
stopped until he had made III, and failed
on a masse shot. Score--Schaeffer, 442;;
Slosson, 1876. Slosson now peeled of his
broadcloth, but it did him no good. He
played a very poor run OF 27, in which he
had plenty OF opportunities.
scHAEFFER RAPIDLY SCORED
a run OF II in his twentieth, stopping on
line break in which he could neither bank
nor masse, but tried kiss follow. Again in
the twentieth inning Slosson found the balls
well punched for him, but he staggered
along with only IL, and when he missed a
perfectly easy draw the balls were set up
for Schaeffer, who ran 40, and his score
was 535 to Slosson's $50. In the twenty
third innings Schaeffer tried hard rouud-
the-table shot, and got beaten out OF a
count by KISS and left Slosson fine set
up. The Chicago boy accepted this lucky
interposition thankfully and once more be-
gan to play billiards. A run OF 81 in his
twenty-third was very we'll played until he

though these were the result largely to his
faulty position plays. Score e-Schaeffer,
53S; Slosson, 446. Schaeffer in the twenty
fourth piled up AZ, missing a very hard
left-hand draw. Slosson followed with 20,
and Schaeffer with 10. Both were
ANXIOUS AND FLusTEREp.
Slossons run OF "a in the twenty fifth
inning ended with freeze, and he
failed to make the lay-off stroke. He got
another opening in the twenty-sixth, but
stopped at 2; and in the twenty y-seventh
Schaeffer made the necessary and won the
game, and the tournament ended in a triple
tie.
