End stood 600 to 4O2.
BosToN, Feb. 9.-Billiardist Schaefer
took revenge tonight for the ignominious
defeat he suffered at the hands of Slos-
son Wednesday night in the triangular
tournament at Bumstead hall, by show
ing play that was altogether too fast
for Napoleon Ives. beating him 600 TO
402, and incidentally breaking all rec
Ords for the fourteen-inch balk-line
game, anchor barred, rolling up the
splendid total of 211 in single
inning. The previous record, 205,
was made by Ives at Chicago. The
game tonight was by all odds the finest
exhibition of scientific play ever seen in
this city if lot in the country. Schae-
fer's work was very erratic, but his two
long runs of I'll and 125 were marvels of
steady nursing and position play. oc-
casionally varied by brilliant round
the-table shot or long drive for
gather. Ives play was at first rather
unsteady. but after Schaefer had ac-
cOmplished his record breaking feat,
The boy settled down, and it looked at
one time as if he might pull out the
game. and especially as The Wizard
played i'll
EXCEEDINGLY BAD SHAPE
for four or five innings. But Schaefer
SOON rallied and rushed things through
TO the end. Al O. clock the two experts
pulled ont their cues amidst applause.
SchaeTer won the bank, and started off
rather unsteadily, missing the thirteenth
shot across the table for single cnSh-
ION. Ives opened his portion of the
proceedings with goose egg on cross
table shot. Both men were playing very
ordinary billiards. and up to the eighth
inning had made but IS and 81 respect
lively, Schaefer leading. In this inning
Ives broke the ice By a run of 90. the
feature of which was magnificent
long gather for position. This
was the highest run thus far, and
it put Jake on his mettle, for he
began a career of balk-liHe nursing
on the upper end of the table, part of
which was with the lett hand, which
held its proYerbial cunning for many
minutes. At 9:1O the Wizard seemed
baked by a difficult lineup of the
balls, but he overcame the difficulty by
a beautiful maSSe, which won great APP
plauSe. At 1875 he missed frozen
masse by moving the wrong ball. Ives
made run OF II: then Schaeter began
the run which now
STANDS AS THE RECORD.
His tactics were the same as before,
balk-line nursing being the feature.
AT $50 the spectators began to wake up,
and murmured record" The Wizard
kept up his work steadily. AS he
neared 200 the excitement grew intense.
Most of the on-lookerS knew that Ives
BOB was the highest mark with the
anchor barred. Just before the 200
point the three balls rolled together in
an obstinate straight line. Schaefer
electrified the crowd with a quick and
brilliant four-cushion shot around the
table. AS the 2O3d point was reached
and passed shout arose that was full
of enthusiasm and expectation of
more. On wen the Wizard,
clicking away TIL 271 was reached
and a new record made. Here he missed
on single cushion. The next four inn
ings resulted in two singles and two
goose eggs for Schaefer, but Ives rallied
brilliantly, and rolled up 6S. IA, So and

efforts were too late in the evening, for
Jake played steadily and carefully, and
finished the game in the eighteenth
inning with a run of "a. The score:
