St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-12-14

z Not only was every seat on the main
floor and in the galleries occupied, but
scores of well-groomed men sat on the
steps in the alsles and added to the
general din when their favorites were
performing especially brilliant work.
William Sexton was evidently
higher in the good graces of
Schaefer and Ives than he is
Slosson'S, for he was the referee to-
night. Ives won the bank and chose
the spot ball, but he failed to count on
the break. Shaefer looked much more
in earnest than he appeared last night,
and it WAS generally remarked that he
seemed to be out for blood. He only
made fourteen in open table play in the
first inning, however, aud missed badly
on draw that was comparatively easy.
Ives looked profoundly disguised when
he failed on a hard bank shot, thus
scoring two goose eggs in the two
innings.
The runs were comparatively small
up the end of the twelfth inning. The
score then stood: Schaefer 275. Ives 1877.
In the thirteenth Ives pulled out fifty
seven, most of which were boarded up

lie missed on an easy carom. Then
the masterful Jake did some more ex-
hibitiOn work, and the crowd went wild
with enthusiasm when, by dint of SUI
peru rail play, he piled up eighty-one.
The crowd thought the bad showing
which Ives was putting up OH the score
card would arouse HIM to some ener-
getic PLAYING, but he experienced a
good deal of difficulty in gathering to-
gether 70, and had considerable trouble
IN getting over some of the snagS that
he made for himself. He missed OH a
tritiing earrom. The audience began to
subside into lukewarmuess, as there had
not been single considerable run III
the progress of the game. There was

paltry 20 and Ives followed with sorry
goose egg. Schaefer then slipped up
on an iniantile cushion carrom after

the fifteenth inning was 405 to 2S4 in
Schaefer's favor.
Ives relied up Is, and after deliberately
filing and cbalkiug his cue tip, went to

that encouraged the audience to hope
that lie would make notable run. Time
and again he got the balls in the anchor
nurse position, but whether intention
ally or not, he did not in any case take
advantage of the splendid chances thus
offered for big runs. He missed a long
follow drive on the right-hand rail after
making 50, thus amending the score SO
that it read, Schaefer 494, Ives 299.
The young Napoleon accomplished As
In the seventeenth inning, but had to go
TO his seat on a hard cushion carrom.
The spirits OF the billiard lovers were at
the zero mark. Then Jake hoped in
feeble thrill to run through the other
billiards then followed. First Ives and
then Sch2efer made rank goose eggs, for
neither of which was there the slightest
excuse. Ives then tailed one, missed q
simple cushion carTom. Again Schaefer
failed TO score. Again did Ives make

grouped the balls together On the right
