CHICAGO. Jan N-"Wizard" Schaefer, in
his game this afternoon with Cation in the
eighteen-inch baIk-line billiard tournament,
ran his four hundred points in ten innings,
an average of 40 which is the worlds record
at the new game. The balls suited him, the
temperature was all right and from the
start it was evident that he was ready to
make things interesting for his opponent.
The Wizard" started off in quarter-horse
STYLE making 80 from the lay-off. and fol-
lowing with clever runs of "a and 81. At
this stage Cation had one point TO his cred
it. This did not suit the Rock Islander,
and in the next three innings he put to-
gether II points. Jack came back with %,
q and 25, and at the end of the seventeenth
inning the call was: Schaefer 210; Cation,
50. In the eighth Schaefer made one and
Cation scored goose egg. Evidently,
Schaefer thought enough time had been
wasted on the game, and, without hesita-
ton. went to work to knock out Ives's av-
erage. 1t was Schaefer in his old-time
form, and Charlie Matthews was obliged

made l06 points that he fell down on a
hard cushion draw by a hairs breadth. Cat

like to carry the winner on their shoulders.
Cation was the first to congratulate Schae-
fer and did not seem to worry over his
defeat. This afternoons game makes the
outcome or tomorrow nights contest very
dubious, and Ives will have to play his best
TO defeat his old master. The score:

Frank Ives this evening defeated Spinlxs

The balls would not roll kindly for either
player, and though for eighteen innings
Splnks only made an average of a fraction
over six, it took Ives that number of in
ntngs TO make up his handicap. The call
was then Ives 259. Spinks 10. In the TWEEN
