Ives by Hacking Slosson.
CHICAGO, April e0.-Jake Schaefer. the ex-
champion billiard player, according to Ives
friends, is trying questionable methods to
regain the championship.
He knows that he can beat Sosson when
ever he wants, and for this reason is ex-
tremeiy desirous of having the New York
man defeat Ives in their coming match.
Schaefer's play is to rattle Ives, and he is
going to do it by the betting plan. He has
just made the following announcement: II
have $500 or $3.50 to put up on Sosson if any
body wants to take it. am not alarmed at
the reports or Ives great runs of 354. etc.
Slosson can beat him. Ives, in my opinion,
will make better player than Slosson some
day. He isn't now, though. He is SO young
that he will continue to improve for many
years. He is born billiard player and
there is no telling what he may become.n
