CHICAGO, Jan. Edward" Schae-
fer, ir his game this afternoon, with
Cation, in the eighteen-inch balkline
Tournament, ran his 400 points In ten
Innings, an average of forty, which is
the worlds record at the new game. The
balls suited him, the temperature was
all right, and from the start it was evil
dent that he was ready to make things
interesting for his opponent. 1.-THE
Wizard" started off in quarter horse
style, making thirty three from the lay
"ioff ard following with clever runs of
ithirtyfour and sixty-seven. At this
point Cation had one point to his credit.
This did not suit the Rock Islander, and
in the next three innings he put to-
Igether seventy-seven points. Jake"
lcame back with twenty-three, twenty
Iseven and twenty-five, and at the end
i of the seventh inning the call was
ISchaefer 210, Cation SO. In the eighth
IScEaefer made one and Cation scored
a goose egg.
Evidently Schaefer thought enough
time had been wasted on the game and
without hesitation went to work to
KNOCK out Ives average. 1t was Schae-
Il fer in his old-t time form, and Charlie
Matthews was obliged to moisten his
throat to keep up with the call. 1t was
! not until the ''Wizard' had made LOG
points that he fell down on a hard
/ cushion draw by a hairs breadth. Cat
| ton could make only four from the leave
/ and then Jacob ran the game out,
| achieving an average Of forty.
The spectators went almost wild, and
| dt seemed as though they would like to
| carry the winner on their shoulders.
| Cation was the first to congratulate
Schaefer and did not seem to worry over
his defeat. This afternoons game
makes the outcome of tomorrow nights
contest very dubious and Ives will have
to play his best to defeat his old master

Frank Ives this evening defeated
Spinks In the most unsatisfactory
game of the tournament by q score of
400 to 1874. The balls would not roll
kindly for either player, and though
for eighteen innings Spinks only made
an average of a fraction over six, it
took Ives that number of innings to
make up his handicap. The call was
then, Ives 259, Spinks ITO. In the
twentieth inning Spinks came back
with Al, but that was the last chance
he had. The young Napoleon" feared
a Waterloo, and having made five in
the nineteenth, began his twentieth
time at bat with 136 to go. The ivor-
les rolled hard for him, and he had to
earn every count until he haa gath
cred 65, when the balls lined up in
balk and almost frozen. By a daring
masse he not only counted, but appar-
emily hypnotized the balls. They began
to come his way, and by skillful line
nursing he quickly secured the neces-
sary points, his 1876 being the high run
of the tournament
Sutton and Cation play tomorrow
afternoon, and the winner is sute of
third money, with a chance Of q tie
for second. Ives and Schaefer play in
the evening. If the former wins Ives
will capture first money, and Schaefer
will be tied for second and third mon
eys with the winner of the afternoon
game. Should Schaefer win he will be
tied with Ives. and the tie will be
played off Monday night. Tonight's
