LOSING
New Workers Disappointed at the Play in
sthe Great Billiard Match.

New York, Dec. l4.-There was only a
fair. sized crowd in the concert hall at Madi-
son Square Garden tonight to see the fourth
game in the billiard battle royal between
Schaefrer, Slosson and Ives. The
attendance was probably as much
attributable to the weather as
to the undeniable disappointment among
the billiard lovers over the comparatively
poor showing thus far made by all of
the players in the tournament.
Their failure to realize or to come
anywhere near realizing, general cxpccta-
ton doubtless had much to do with the
falling off in tonight's attendance. The
game was between Slosson and Ives.
George Moulton acted as referee. Ives
completed his 600 in the twenty-first round.
The score:
