The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-12-23

Slosson would keep plodding along until he
was within mailing distance OF Shaeter, and
then the latter would wake up and go speeding
along, leaving Slosson behind him But the
game was not stupid by any means. great
variety of shots were shown, even il the men
did not move along very fast. and there were
frequent bursts OF applause when any surpris-
ing venture resulted in n count At the end of
the forty-ffth inning the score stood 200 for
Schaefer TO 30 for Slosson. Thus far in the
game Shaofer had shown himself tho stronger
of the two. His speciality seemed TO be 60 get
the balls near the rail and then. by delicate
nursing shots, knock out double figures nearly
every time. Slosson on the other hand, de-
pended more on open-table play and seemed
unable T. take advantage of the very positions
which netted the most points for his antagonist.
In his eighty first inning Schaefer made IA run
of 81. During the squirt hc gave the finest ex-
hibition of cushion-carrom playing that was
ever witnessed in public. His delicate mastery
OF the balls was perfectly marvellous. Men who
had been used 10 see cushion carroms played in
hammer-and -tongs style were astounded The
game at that time stood: Schaefer, 4l6 Slos-
son, 259.
In tho face of Schaefer's run Slosson
ratified up ~ points before ne missed on n diff
cult sngle-cushion venture. From that time on
the game became exciting, as Slosson steadily
gained on Schnefe who seemed unable to play
even an ordinary game. For twenty-seven
innings he never once reached double figures.
He missed easy shots, made Il couple Of mis-
cues played in bad luck. and altogether fright
ened his hackers in n most painful manner. In
the meantime Slosson was playing much bet
ter than he had been doing during any part of
the game
After dozen innings devoted TO this stagger-
ing duel, Schnefer suddenly seemed to recover,
and, as easy as il he were rafting peas in a
cup, he knocked out Is points. Slosson followed
with goose egg. while Schaefer aided moro
buttons 70 his string. Then Slosson pulled him
self together for the last effort, and with many
n brilliant shot nc collected IL points. every one
Of which was worth sl1 bill To him just at
that time. When he at last u.ssed ut the
43Oth point, just by the width OF a hair.
Schaefer chalked Lis cue, set his
teeth, and then, marching up TO the
table, he ran up the ten points needed to make
When the winner scored his five hundredth
point Slosson tossed his cue aside and shook
schnefer warmly by the hand and the next in
slant two or three hundred excited mon rushed
forward and fell on the little Dutchman. They
slapped him on the back, chcered Tor him, and
tried 10 carry him ont Of the hall their snoul-
ders, and would have succeeded had not
