emphatieally that the change from

the series of the nier-Schafer-Ives 49,
inch balls line billiard tournament at
Madison Square garden concert hall to-

feat by Schafer tonight was anticipated.
The Belgian champion was extremely
nervous, and seemed unable to keep con-

and as consequence the game was long
drawn out. Tomorrow night the New
