CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Schaefer and Slos-
son played the sixth game OF the balk-line
tournament tonight The situation of
affairs was peculiar. Slosson and VignauX
had each won two games and Schaefer one
game A victory for Slosson would have
made him the richer by So, 600, while his
defeat would make triple tie. There was
a large amount of money bet. Schaefer
was the favorite. the odds early in the day
being 500 to S70 in his favor. just before
the game Schaefers friends offered 500 to
$50, and it was freely taken. Referee Nc
Creery announced the situation OF affairs
and stated that no provision had been made
in the event of tie for continuing the
tournament. At fourteen minutes past s
o'clock the two players strung for
the lead, and Schaefer won it by hair.
He counted from the lay-oH and gath
cred the balls, but missed the second
shot on an easy One-cushion. The balls
were left in a line. but by banking to the
opposite cushion Slosson counted and held
them well together. He played well for a
run of So and had good position at the
foot rail, when he failed to get the balls out
of balk. Schaefer found good opening
but spoiled it on his first shot, and after
making two counts slipped up on draw to
the cushion. Slosson picked off II and
missed. Schaefer had an opportunity in the
fifth for a good run, but his position play
was very poor and he stepped at II. Slos-
son opened the seventh for run Of 81.
Schaefer
MISSED AN EASY ONE-CUSHION SHOT
in the eighth and left set up, and Slosson
now set to work and at A stopped on a
delicate one-cushion effort. This time the
balls were left good for Schaefer, who
quickly ratified up "a. only to fail on an
easy shot. Slosson increased his
lead with a run of SO in the ninth,
missing delicate kiss back from the cush-
ion. Schaefer profted by the fine set up by
making his best run thus far in the game
The balls lined on him three consecutive
times, but he counted with as many masse
shots. He kept ON till he made "a, when
he came to grief on very delicate draw
and left the balls in heap. The call was
Sloss0n, 1913; Schaefer. 132. SlosSon then
passed to his second string with run OF 49,
Score. Slosson, 221: Schaefer, 132. Schaefer
in his eleventh missed plain two-cushion
shot and again left the balls well for Slos-
son, who at 26 missed a hard cross table
kiss shot in which he had to use the bridge.
Schaefer responded with 2e. missing an
easy draw shot in an unaccountable manner.
The balls were left at the head rail as well
as Siesson could have placed them with his
fingers, but he did not handle them
veEyr well, and stopped at 49,.
This seemed to give Schaefer courage. for
he settled down to business and played a
magnificent run Of 107, stopping on a tough
left-handed draw. Score Slosson. 2S5;
Schaefer. 265. SlossOn was perceptibly
shaken by Schaefer's rush of speed, and
played his next two innings very poorly.
Schaefer in the fifteenth. made neat run
of 27. and was now squarely ahead for the
fist time, 3O7 to 293. A square set up gave
Slosson a run of 81 in the seventeenth, and
he was
AGAIN IN FRONT,
1856 to Schaefers 30S. But Schaefer was
not to be shaken off. he dashed in for
another big run in the eighteenth, and
never stopped until he had made LA, and
failed on masse shot. Score, Schaefer,
442: Slosson. 336. Slosson now pulled
off his broadcloth, but it did him no
good. He played a very poor
run of 27. Schaefer rapidly scored 73 in his
twentieth, stopping on line break, in
which he could neither bank nor masse.
Slosson found the balls well punched for
him, but staggered along with only II and
missed perfectly easy draw. The balls
were set up for Schaefer, who ran 40.
Score, Schaefer, $50; Slosson, 800. In
the twenty-third inning Schaefer tried a
hard round-table shot, and got beaten out
of count by kiss and left Slosson fine
set up. The Chicago boy accepted this in
terposition thankfully and once more began
to play billiards. A run of "a in his twenty
third inning was very well played until he
suecumbed to succession of tough breaks.
Score. Schaefer. 53S; Slosson, 446. Schaefer
in the twenty-fourth piled up AZ. missing a
hard left-hand draw. Slosson fol-
lowed with 20 and Schaefer with
10. Both parties were anxious and hustered.
Slosson ran off "a in the twenty-ffth
inning and ended with freeze, and he
failed to make the lay-off stroke. He got
another opening in the twenty-sixth, but
stopped at 3, and in the twenty-seventh
Schaefer made the necessary 9. and the
game and tournament ended in triple tie.

Arrangements for playing off the ties
cannot be made tonight, but it is thought
Battery D armory will be secured and fitted
up with seats and the tournament played to
an end, commencing Tuesday night, with a
game each of 800 points.
