CHICAGO, Jan 1l.-Fnurth night balk
line billiaid tournament brought Schae-
fer and SlpSS0n together for The second
time. With the anchor nurse barred,
SlusSnn becomes once mure figure in
the billiard arena, his general game be-
ing strong enough to furnish an argG-
mont HiLa any living player The at
tendance was Slight compared with the
immense crowds OF last night. Win
mig the bank, SloSscn scored and at
once got position. and, by careful but
by no means brilliant play, kept the
balls fairly under control for IS,
failing at last on cross table
single custom shot. The leave was
rather uApromisiH%, but in TWO shots
SchaefCr gathered the balls 1T the lower
ED, where he worked the corner pref
tily Tor time, with occasional short
drives across the table. On his thirty
fourth he drove the white around the
table. and in the fortieth made The red
take the same journey, each time with
perfect accuracy. At fifty he lost po-
sition hy too much force in left hand
Cushion draw, and stopped at tifty-two
on hard follow shot for position.
SloSson let go with two in his second
inning, and Schaefer with 4 beautiful
SINGLE CUSHION STROKE,
gathered the balls at the head rail, and
III three shots had them inside the
anchor block. He played them i'll ami
out with charming cas-, and only let 90
Oh double cushion bank for position.
SloSS0n got no opening, and Schaefer.
who WAS playing fast billiards, came
back with Il beautifully played run of
les. in which everything puSSible in the
game was in evidence. In his fifth inn-
ing S!OSSon put together - under diff
culties, the balls lining on him four diff
feremt times. Schaefer now let down q
little, and SloSSon was playing none too
well. Nothing of Importance hap
pemrd for several innings. SioSson's
bali began to roll crooked, and
he was forced TO resort 10
pounding. Meanwhile. Schaefer was
doing very little, his average for nine
innings being little over II. With all
his pounding, SloSson was making the
most billiards and gradually overhaul
ing his opponent. His run of II in the
seventeenth inning carried him to go,
against $50 for Schaefer, WHO at one
time had Il lead OF los. Schaefer HOW
started out for billiards. ana seemed
likely to get Il tot of them, but mScue
stopped him at %. He got another
chance, and took fresh cue out of his
bag i'll the eighteenth inning, but line
break at So ended the run. Again the
game dragged YEARLY for Il time.
neither player showing much more than
amateur form. Al the end Of the tWen-
ty-firSt the Call was, Srhaefer 401, Slos-
son 2S2. Schaefer got them going again
i'll the tWepty-sec0Hd, but at 80 another
MISCUE FLOoRED HIN.
Slossoa, in his tweHty-third, did some
careful work, using the corners to better
advantage than at any previous time in
the game. At So the balls lined and
stepped him. Score: S!OssOn, BIS;
Schaefer, 1876. Both men were having
tIOUOlt Win llCtI cue ups. the DSliS
acting greasy. There were FIVE lean in
nIngs on each side, but in the twenty
eighth Schaefer came out of the trance
long enough to click off 90 and turn
upon his last string, 5l5 TO 800. But he
did very little more for the next eight
innings, While SloSSon crept along after
him with runs of So and 81 in the Thirty
fourth and thirty-itth. IL the thirty
sixth he seemed all of a sudden to get
his stroke back. aud he made 50 very
clever billiards. Score: Schaefer,
$50; Slossun. SIP. Schaefer was
badly tied up, and, though he
had the balls We'll in hand in the thirty
fifth he got but II out of them, and still
had y to go. SosSon was in reaching
distance now, but lie fell down in the
thirty-eighth on a bump shot, and
Schaefer ran II and game at 1870.
