side. The hall was crowded. The men
played on standard table, five feet by
ten. The game was q fOurteen-lnch
balk line, SO0 points up. Maurice DAILY
acted as referee. rhe game began
at $50 p. IN. Both men were in
the pink of condition. There was
a strong spirit of rivalry between them,
and every one in the house felt that they
were going to witness the best game of
billiards of their lives. Schaetfer won
the string, and chousing the spot ball,
eSSayed long shot; he missed and the
Student started in. He only found two.
The Wizard missed an easy shot, and
gave his opponent another chance.
Sl0SSOn nursed them carefully and made
twenty before he had to step aside.
Schaetfer made two and Slosson one in
the next inning. In the fourth neither
counted, and in the fifth

ochaefer had evidently recovered his
nerve when he opened the seventh i'll

counted every time. and his brilliant
plays frequently evoked rounds of APP

with joy. Forty-seven, forty-eight.

Schofeld. the official marker, and
then fifty. Again the little Wizard was
roundly cheered. After making 81
points Schaeffer made what Referee
Daly decided was balk on the line,
and Slosson took his place to play his
half of the seventh inning. Schaeffer's
good showing had evidently nettled
him, and there was a look of grim de-
termination on his thin white face. He
missed an easy one OH the forty-second
shot and retired with something like a
smotlltred curse on his lips. Again
Jake took the cue and there was
Smile of Triumph.
In his first four shots he had two diff
cult maSse plays to make, and the man
her in which he made them evoked
thuniers Of applause. There were many
ladies in the house, and they were just
as much excited and enthusiastic about
the great game as the men. Schaefer
appeared to be slightly the favorite,
but the betting on the result of the
game was even money and take
your choice. 1t looked as if
Schaefer was going to make
record more in the eighth inning, but
lie lost it on the lower left hand corner
of the table after counting thirty-nine
times. Sl0sSOn, looking just little
flushed. began to play amid a death-like
silence. He counted up to the twenty
ninth shot, wien he made brilliant
clOSS-table shot, and again in the forty
eighth shot. His ball was at tue foot of
the table and the two others at the
upper end, one in each corner. He
counted Oh them, though, and received

rattle him, though, and he went out on
the forty-ninth shot. The score at the

In the eighteenth inning Jake nursed
them on the line and kept them there
until he had scored seventy-three points

the crowd. he score when Slosson
went in to play was Schaefer PAT, Sos

Getting the Ivories
on the line again, he played them so
that it seemed as if lie had them OIL

reached and passed the hundred mark
safely and still he kept on gently click
ing the worries. Where was he going
to stop? He still had them well
in hand and with every shot he
seemed to gain more confidence in him
self. Ills playing alone in this
inning redeemed the game from any
mrdlOcrity. 1t was, indeed, expert
playing. Schaefer made 12S points
when he stopped. SoSSUn looked fever

trembled just little, and he missed an

Slosson seemed glad, as he took his

only made eight. and Schaeter opened

round-the-table Shot. A miscue ruined
him after he had made thirteen points
