ANOTHER TRIPLE TIE.
The RaIklins Tournament Ends At
a Deadlock.
scHAEFER sEATslI sLossoN 1872
Points Last Night After Some Very
Ordinary Playing And Leaves
the Games Tie.

CHICAGO, December 23.-Schseter and
Slosson played in the billiard tournament
tonight before less than 400 spectators
There was little or no betting as the Slos-
son men asked odds and Schsefer 9 friends
could not bet more than even money.
Schsefsr won the bank. Runs Of Al and
5S by Schsefer in the tenth and twelfth
inning, brought him very close, and when
Slcsson had scored nine in the twentieth
and stopped because 'hei ocmplese'
ly forgot to get the balls
out of balk, the call was sloSson
200 Schsefer 1876. Taking advantage of
the fine set-up, Schsefer ratified clever
run Of 78, which took him fairly to the
front for the first time in the game. Score
-Schaefer 2l8, Slosson 2O6. In
the fifteenth innirg that schsefer

balk line play, be piled up SO, and be now
led Slosson 335 TO 248. Slosson now raj
lied handsomely with Q run Of l03, in which
he played some very elegant billiards
of sll sorts aud received round
OF applause as he tied and passed his oppo-
nent. In the 18th inning the score stood,
Slosson 4S4. Schaefer 353. Schaefer cut
this down in his 10Th By a run OF l22.
When he beat Slossons highest run he was
loudly cheered.
Slosson got his opportunity in the TWEEN
tieth inning, but failed at five. For his
twenty-ffth inning Schsefer found a fair
opening and avsiled himself of it splen
didly with some beautiful sll.round execu
ton for run of 81, and be now led once
more. The score was COS to sos. Miss
ing rsoss-table position shot in his TWEEN
,y-sixth, he gave Slosson another chance
At the end Of % innings the call was
Schsefer 636, Slosson GA. Both men
we're now doing rather poor work, but In
he thirrieth inning Schaeter made 90.
In his next inning he missed through
sheer carelessness and left set up
Schaefer did soma elegant nursing near
the lower left hand corner for A, missing
an s~kwsrd masse and leaving the
balls bunched for Slosson, who were to
pieces at once and Schsefer at II
past ii made l3 and the game. This
leaves the tournament another triple tie.
