WAS A BRILLIANT GAME
SCH.IEFER IND IVES' HARD FIGHT
FOR THE SUPREMACY.

The Hall Was Packed at the Opening of
the Game-Jake Could Not Get the Balls
in Position at the Right Time and There
Were Uninteresting Runs.
Boston, April 1.-THE last game n
the second series of international bill
liards cushion caroms, 300 points, was
played tonight in Bumstead hall.
Frank C. Ives and Jacob Schaefer were
the contestants and Ives won. The hall
was packed. The run rolled for first
shot at $40. Schaefer won and chose
the white ball. He failed to score
Ives made three. Schaefer scored FIVE
in the second, and failed to score more
by being rolled out of sure count by
a piece of chalk
Ives came up and failed to recognize
his ball. He asked the referee to set
him right, but the referee refused on
the grounds that 1T was against the
rules. Schaefer upheld the referee. Iyes
sat down and refused to play, claiming
that it was the referees province to tell
which was his ball. There was a few
Kisses and finally Schaefer pointed to
ore of the spheres and said: That's
your ball; go ahead and play" Ives
made five and followed it up.
For ten innings the balls rolled about
uninterestingly Schaefer put up thir-
teen In the sixteenth inning, three of
the shots being dandies of the reverse
English order, the ball taking the
cushion before touching either of the
object balls. Ives made II, and then
the balls rolling into difficult position
he deliberately played safety. This
made Jake smile disdainfully.
In the thirty-seventh Jake made 26
and the totals were then, Schaefer 1S9,
Ives 1874. He stopped on an easy bank
shot. Fourteen was the highest run
made up to and including the forty
ninth. Each man picked out that num-
ber. Schaefer by series of brilliant
shots in the fiftieth put up a score of
q, slipping up as he did several times.
Schaefer made 16 in the fifty-first in
ming and Is in the fifty third. Ives
made u in the f1ftyfourth. The SYM
pathy of the house was with Jake, and
every time he made a good shot he was
cheered. Two fine cushion draws in the
fifty-six brought the spectators to

tremble with their shouts when the fif-
ty-eighth inning opened. The totals
were:
Ives 275, Schaefer 2a2.
The sixty-third resulted in one each.
Jake opened the sixty-fourth with 2.
Ives failed. Jake failed in the next in
ming, and so did Ives. Jake failed in
the sixty-sixth. Ives also failed. The
field was intense. Jake counted one in
the sixty yseventh. The scores were a
tie, each having 2S5. Ives got the balls
in nursing position and pulled out ten
before they broke away. He collected
them again and ran Ia Jake failed af-
ter one shot. Ives only had two to go.
He made these easily. The scores:
