THE WIZARD OF THE CUE
Jacob Sohaeffer's Marvellous Work in the
New York Tournament.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16-Jacob Schaeffer, in
the great three cornered billiard match
which has been in progress for the last
week, tonight demonstrated that he is the
greatest billiard player in the world.
During the evenings play, which was
with Ives Schaeffer made the marvellous
run of 566, breaking the best previous
record of 456. At the close of the game
the score stood: Schaeffer, 600; Ives, so.
This makes Schaeffer the winner of the
SERIES
During the first part of the game neither
of the men did better than ordinary work.
In the sixth inning Schaeffer got the balls
securely anchored on the lower rail, and
began to play the nurse with superb
lightness that he had not before displayed
during the week. Using his cue as if it
were Il feather, the ivori-s seemed scarcely
to move under his magic touch. When
the Zird passed the 100 mark Ives grit
ted his teeth, but Schaeff-r went right on
with his work, encouraged by The terrific
plaudits of the crowd. When he passed
the 200 uotch cheers rang out all over the
hall.
Still perfectly fresh. aid with a constant
smile on lis face, the wizard kept quietly
at business. He passed the 800 mark and
completed $50 while the crowd was yelling
itself hoarse. "Three hundred and ninety
nine" soon called the marker, and the
audience Was on tiptoe. -Four hundred
and filty-tive'' called the marker IL little
later -Four hundred and ffty-six," and
the wizard had equ lied the WORLDS
record made by Napolean Ives at the Chi
cago tournament. The audience now. not
content with giving forth yells. stood on
the seats and waved their arms idly.
Imperturbed Schaeffer al once made
ano. her stroke with his wonderful cue.
When he got to $50 Schaeffer was almost
exhausted, but, not losing his wonderful
touch, kept on. Soon the marker shouted
Five hundred and sixty-five," and al in
stant later Five hundred and sxty-six."
It was over, aud Ives bolted for an ante
room.
Schneffer thus beat the worlds record
by his big run and also the average attain
ed by the great Vignaux of France, which
never heretofore has been equaed. That
average was Is. Schaeffer's average to-
night in six innings was just 100. Ives.
