InternationaI Billiard Match.

Boston, April 13.-The admirers of
good billiard playing gathered in force
ar BumStead hall tonight at the open
ing OF the cushion carom tournament in
which Frank Ives. Jacob Schafer, AL
bert GARNER and Maurice Daily are the
contestants. 1t is the second series of
international billiard tournaments for a
purse of $1,000 offered by Maurice Daily
of New York.
Each of the players is scheduled for
three games, playing each of the other
three men. The games viii be 500 points
up. Fred Eames is referee.
Schaefer and GARNER were pitted
against each other tonight and though
the later was defeated it is believed he
IS more at home in the cushion carom
game Than is his opponent, and will
make better showing than he did in
the recent 1S-inch balk line game play
Ell in New York. Both seemed nervous
when the game opened and neither
scored in the first inning, but in the Sec
ond Scnaefer made q, run Of 50, again in
the fifteenth %, and in the twenty fifth
nursed them for tthirty-five runs with a
total of 1877 runs. After that, however
he failed TO show up in the accustomed
form, and though GARNER played much
better in the second half, he was unable
TO overcome the lead. Score:
