II rst public match ever played with
lines OF this length. Schaetler was the
fayorite by odds OF 100 TO so. John
Callahan Of Milwaukee was chosen
referee.
SchaefIer won the bank, and selected
the black ball, which was considera-
bly, lighter than the white. He made
a close miss from the laygoff and left
the balls together for Slosaon.
The latter was play ing rather

until the twelfth inning that Slosson
did any important playing, and even
then he neglected hall a dozen chances
to work the rail. He failed at 81 on a
hard draw shot
At the end of the nineteenth inning
the score stood SchaefIer 5l3, Slosson

game of open style and Slosson doing
almost nothing. Both sides now had
hard breaks for several In

better work, aided by scratch In the

immediately. The couple beaten at the
head, retires to No. 1, or the foot table
while the victorious remain at the head and
