NEW YORK, Jan. 5-Chief- justice McAdam. of
an action brought by VIM. c. Findlay against
Leander Il. Thorne ct al, touching upon the
question of female notaries- The Judge decides
that a verifcation certified by a female notary is
valid as to a third person, and furnishes no
ground for returning the pleading. In this case
a counter claim was put in in tine defendants
answer; a reply was made to the counter claim,
which was returned because the certificate to the
iurat was signed by a female notary. The de-
PENDANTS interposed objection upon the ground
that the notary public, being a female, was ineli-
gible to a public Office. and could not, therefore,
legally perform the functions of a notary. This
female notary was appointed by the Governor
ard confirmed by the Senate. The court grants
the motion to compel the defendants to accept
the reply as a properly verified pleading.

THE BILIdARD-PIIAYERS
Schaefer Wins the First of tie Series of
Championship Games with SlOsson.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The first of a series of bill
lard match es between Schaefer and Slosson was
played tonight at Central Music Hall. The at
tendance numbered $780,, including a large
number of billiardists from st. Louis, Milwan-
kee, and other Western cities. Thu conditions
were $500 a side. 800 points, champions game,
lines twenty by forty inches. 1t was the first
public match ever played with lines OF this length.
Schaefer was the favorite at odds of loo to 90
John Callahan, of Milwaukee, was chosen re-
fierce. Schaefer won the bank and selected the
black bal, which was considerably than the
white. HI made a close miss from the iay-of,
and left the balls together for Slosson. The lat
ter was playing rather nervously and did not
profit much by the opening. Schaefer did good
work in the fifth inning, one feature
of his run of fifty being a fine Masse
shot when the balls were frozen. The
frst call. st the fifth inning, was Scbaeffer 129,
Slosgon n. 1t was not until the twelfth inning
that Slosson did any important playing, and
even then he neglected half a dozen chances to
work the rail. He failed at G2 on a hard draw
shot. AT the end of the nineteenth inning the
score stood: Schaefer 5l3, Slosson lS8, with
Schaefer playing a grand game OF open style and
Sl0ssOn doing almost nothing.
Both sides now had hard breaks for several in
nings, but Slosson did the better work, aided by
q scratch in the twenty-ifth and a foul ia the
twenty.ninth, which Schaefer did not notice.
In the thirty fifth Slosson, when he had made
steven, picked q speck Of dirt off of the cloth in
front of his ball. Schaefer claimed foul, and the
referee sustained the claim. Great hiss
ing arose from the audience. The rule
was read showing that it is a foul
If the striker removes an obstruction
''when the balls are on the rail" The referee
ruled that the balls were on the rail, notwith-
standing Slosson's claim to the contrary. Again
there were loud expressions of disapproval from
the spectators. Schaefer WAS more ratified by
the occurrence and, in the next two innings made
two clean misses. Slosson, in tho fortieth, made
his best run, 81, by good and careful play.
The score then stood: Schaefer, 663; Slosson,
AGA. Schaefer rallied on a run of AZ in the forty
fifth, making his total 742, against Slosson's SOB.
In the next inning Slosson got the balls together
and made q very plucky run of 81; Schaefer fol
lowed with 30, leaving himself within 10 Of
game. He ran it out easily in the forty-eighth
inning, at l1:40P. NJ, Slosson's total being $50.
Schaefer's average was l6 3a4s; Slosson's was
u 353Z.
