CHICAGO, NOV. 1S-Ino tnlrQ game OIL
the balk-line tournament was played to-
uight by Slosson and Schaefer. Schaefer
had the services of W. 81. Cation of st.
Louis as his umpire. The bank for the
lead was won by Schaefer, but he failed to
count, and left a good opening for Slosson,
who soon worked the balls to the lower end.
but lost his grip on them and missed around
table shot at ID. He got an opening in
the third inning and made 40, when the
balls lined and he missed the kiss
follew. Schaefer started in good shape.
but the balls lined against the cushion, and
when he missed he gave Slosson another
set-up and he made Al by clever work, halt
ing on all easy kiSs-Shot. Schaefer ran ~,
in spite of five line breaks, and finally
missed difficult draw shot. Slosson fol-
lowed with 80, missing on One-cushion
shot for lack of speed. Schaefer encount-
cred difficult breaks and was not playing
well. At the end OF the fifth inning the
call was Siosson 123, Schaefer SO. In his
seventh inning Slossen had some ugly
breaks to deal with. but by strong play,
overcame them, and at II had the balls
well in hand at the lower end Of the rail.
He ran 81, stopping with miscue. Slos-
son inherited another set-up, and in his
eighth inning, and with a run Of p, passed
to his third string, the call being Slosson
202. Schaefer 81. The balls were left safe
on Schaefer. who again
LEFT HIS OPPONENT A GIFT
and ran 81 off it. Schaefer now got fair
opening and did some superb balk line
playing, at an average width of twenty
inches He stopped at so with a line break in
the middle of the table and when he missed
he left Slosson's ball frozen to the red. Count
ing from the lay off Slosson gathered the
balls at the upper end and kept them well in
hand for handsome run of 83. Score:
Siosson 342, Schaefer II. For four con-
secutive innings Schaefer scored blank, the
balls being LETT very hard for him and
Slosson made but So ali told
during this time. Slosson. with a
ruiz of 81 in the fifteenth, brought
his total to 430, Schaefer having but 1S6.
Slosson again got the balls in the sixteenth
and ran "a, leaving Schaeffer an opening.
but he only got 10 out OF it. Score: Schaef-
er at, Slosson 454. Schaefer did rather
better in the nineteenth and held the balls
well-bunched in the upper left hand corner
for about 40 shots, when he took them over
to the opposite corner for 20 more. Then
he nursed back again and at II made
foul. and left the balls SO closely huddled
that hat would have covered them all.
SloSsOn
MISCUED AT TWENTY,
and Schaefer started Off again. At his
eleventh shot his ball was frozen to the
white, but with superb massa his ball re-
turned and counted. Again at 40 the balls
lay far apart, and he counted with grand
masse stroke. Loud cheers greeted both
these shots. He kept the balls well under
control for the most part at the upper end,
but i'll changing them to the other end he
got them out of his reach, and at S5 failed
on a one-cushion shot. Score: SlOSSon,
4SS; Schaefer, $40. There was now some
nervous work on both sides for little
while, and with it some hard breaks.
Both men showed the strain, but Slosson
was the first to get his breath and
ran "a, missing on bank shot. Schaefer
found the balls clustered, but. after one
count, missed sim i,le draw. Finding that
his opponent was badly fustered, Slosson
took hold once more and ran SO. There
were then some hard breaks on both sides,
and neither did much execution for awhile.
At the close of the tWenty-ninth inning, the
score stood: Slosson, 5s3; Schaefer, 399
Schaefer rallied in the thirty-third inning.
with grand run of 70. which carried his
score to sol: Slossen, 594. When Schaefer
missed difficult bank, the balls were left
well for Slossen. who easily ran and
closed the game at 1852 o'clock.
