between Jacob Schaefer and Maurice Wig
naux was continued tonight. The result
of the previous nights play had left the
score very much in favor OF Schaefer, 600
10 ga. The audience again filled up the
hall. The amphitheater surrounding the
table was filled. Every good shot was
loudly applauded, and those shots which
the multitude thought bad were in vigorous
terms disapprOyed. VlgnauX came forth
at sos p. IN, and was applauded, Schaefer
following a moment later with renewed ap-
plauSe. Both players were in evening dress
Meanwhile odds of fifty TO thirty-five were
being offered on Schaefer. At $40 o'clock
Umpire McCTeery of St. Louis announced
that the game would begin, and that the
understanding was that VignauX might
make 900 points if possible during the even
ing to 600 points made by Schaefer. This
was evidently to allow Vignaux to compare
with Schaefer's play of the previous night.
Schaefer began to play with the balls in
the position in which they had been left on
the evening previous. He made one.
VignauX made fifteen. Then Schaefer
made a duck-egg and VignauX scored
three. Schaefer made fourteen and Wig
naux began to play in his Brilliant manner.

were all deserved. and he stopped only with
twelve additional points TO his credit.

seventeen. The game began to
look interesting, and when Schaefer stopped
playing in the sixth with only 10 points
to his credit, the hope of the friends of
VignauX began to revive. Vignaux
then made IL. In the tenth inning
Schaefer's manipulation of the balls elicited
the admiration of the crowd, and 1t was
admirable. The balls were all the time in
the center of the table. and 43 points were
secured. Nothing could have been more
delicate than Schaefer's manipulation.
