SCHAEFER IN HARD LUCK.
The Big Frenchman Wins the SecOn Game in the Billiard Touruameut

The Bfg Frenchman Wins the Second
 Game in the Billiard Tournament.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Schaefer won the bank
 tonight in the second game of the series for
 the fourteen inch balk line championship, but failed to count. Vignaux after making ten slipped up on an easy draw. Schaefer fol- lowed with runs of 15, 21, 49 and 15, his buttons at the end of the fifth inning count ing an even hundred. Vignaux in the fifth passed Schaef5r with a run of 9S. Schaefer, however, in the seventh inning commenced to play his old time dashing style and passed the Frenehman, quitting nurse shot with B, leaving the balls together for Vignaux The latter took advantage of the leave to the tune of A and passed Schaefer once more, leaving the score: Vignaux 192, Schaefer 176. The game continued dull and uninter- esting until the end of the twenty-eighth in- ming when the Frenchman had increased his lead to 200. Schaefer made a rally in the twenty ninth and knocked out the biggest run of the evening-105. The ap- plause for Schaefer as he passed the one hundredtn point was deafening In an way he added S9 in the thlrty-ninth and with run of thirteen in the thirty y-sxth gained lead of 36. Jacob and his friends looked jubilant, but the stolid Frenchman broke the combination by running the necessary 152 for the desired eight hundred points and victory, receiving unstinted applause.

Steel Manufacturers In CouncII.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 22.-A highly important meeting of steel manufacturers of this city was held at the Hotel Anderson this after noon, at which there weE@resent represent atives of all the iron and steel firms in this vicinity. The meeting has been called for the purpose of bringing about some ergani- zation of steel manufacturers in this city and ultimately throughout the co untry with a view to the establishment of card rate of prices and the prevention of rate cutting. During the last few years dull trade has greatly demoralized prices and manufacturers have been frequently cutting rates. Since prosperity has returned a desire for better prices has arisen and it is proposed to revise the association which formerly existed: The meeting lasted two hours and a number of resolutions on the price question were offer ed, but they were deferred until future meeting. Meanwhile the secretary will com municate with manufacturers throughout the country and arrange for them to attend in numbers.
