New York, Dec. 16-The final and de-
Gliding game of the billiard tournament
which the giants met to determine which
was champion, was played tonight be-
fore the largest and most critical audi
ence that ever witnessed billiard match
in this CITY. The audience was kept
waiting half an hour after the announced
starting time before either of the contest
ants put in an appearance Then Manager
Maurice Daily announced that George a.
MoultOn would act as referee. Schaefer
won the bank, took the white ball, and as
a breather, rolled out u points. This
Ives followed by q goose egy-an easy
carom-and Schaefer ran II. He too,
missed a cushion carom that brought
responsive "Oh's" from the audience.
Then Ives warmed up u bit and made 80,
all but eight of which were made on the
lower right balk line on straddIe plays.
Schaefer managed TO make eight ia open
table shots and fell on three cushion
shot by about two feet. Ives followed
with three and then defaulted on an at
tempt TO gather for straddle. Follow
ing Schaeter's goose egg, Ives ran 10 to
the good and Schaefer making another
goose egg, the young Napoleon went him
four better. Thus at the end Of the
fifth inning Schaefer had scored 81 TO
Ives 30 points. Ives never got another
shot for his money.
TIE GREATEST RUN ON RECORD.
Schaefer gathered the balls in the upper
left-hand corner, and, after a few prelimi-
nary shots, succeeded in getting them
astride the line. Once there, he ratified
of point after point without moving the
inch. In this position he added IS to his
the cushion and there they stayed.
The rest of the tale is easily told
Ives record of ass. made last November
at Chicago and at which the world won
dered, was cast into oblivion. 1t now be-
came contest of physical endurance and
the question was raised as to whether
Sehaefer would outlast the exertion noe
essary to score the 900 points requisite to
run out the game. The 500
mark was reached at 9:4O
p. m, and the audience cheered Itself
hoarse and did not subside until Schaefer
had finished the game and made the
world S record of 800 points. 1t was the
greatest run ever made in game of IA
inch balk line billiards and many a day
will pass before it will be equaled.
The score by innings was as follows:
Schaefer-l2, IA, s, 0, 0, 566.-Total, 600.
