EASY VICTORY FOR SLOSSON
First Nights Play in the Great Cushion
Carom Billiard Match.
WIZARDS PLAYING SHOWS BAD FORM
WocfuIIy Weak on Two-Cushion Shots
and Repeatedly Misses Plays that
Many Amateurs Would Not
sin Up On.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The first nights
play in the 300 point cushion-carom billiard
match between Slosson and Schaefer tonight
resulted in an easy victory for Slosson,
Schaefer being outplayed by 300 points
against 1856. Play will continue tomorrow
night where it left off tonight.
Slosson showed much the better form, his
average being just about even with the best
match average on record. Schaefer, on the
other hand, was woefully weak on two
cushion shots and repeatedly missed plays
that many less expert players would not
often slip up on.
1t was slow picking UP to the sixth in
nings, the caroms coming In driblets, but
then Schaefer cut loose for the first con-
siderable run of the game. He got the
red ball in the corner and began clicking
off the buttons in rapid style, his cue ball
travelling only a few inches each time be-
fore counting on the white. After he had
gathered in twenty points the cue ball
got too close against the red ball to pass
and he slipped up on a difficult masse shot
intended to get around the red ball.
In the eleventh inning Schaefer earned
the first hearty applause OF the game. His
opening shot, close half follow the whole
length of the table, bringing down the
house
1t was not until the twenty-first inning
that the century mark was reached Then
Slosson turned first with a clever run OF
twenty, his average being Just about oven
with the record and Schaefer twenty nine
points behind.
Slosson's opening shot in the thirty-fourth
inning again brought down the house, THE
Student" making a follow shot with the
object balls lined up and counting by a
flying kiss in the lower corner Slosson
was drawing steadily ahead and, as the
I Wizard" made seven goose eggs" in the
next eight innings, his lead increased rap
idly until his score stood at 1856 to 100 when
Slosson went to the table for his forty-sixth
inning. He got the balls punched in the
lower corner and rapidly checked off the
most delicate CT caroms. The referees call
piled up tie total quickly and, when "The
Student" had to drive enc of the balls the
crowd held its breath until the ivory had
got back within reach again. Finally the
run had piled up to thirty-seven and Slos-
son went down on difficult single cushion
| drive. The run, however, was the biggest
of the evening and jumped the score up to
223 against 100 in favor of Slceson.
The score in detail is as follows:

The Innovation In New York Will have
remarkable effect In an economic way,
I and In safer and more rapid transit.
;!Plunger Joe Letter is at the head OF the
company that is TO furnish this new
!: motive power for the metropolis. In,
: speaking OF the matter, he says:
1.-THE experimental stare OF compress,
Z ed air as motive power Is passed. We
know exactly what 1t will cost to carry
!. n ton of freight mile, and we know
(, that It Is less than the cost OF trans.
!. porting 1t by horse power The patents
Z for the air motors arc controlled by the
Z company and we will start mnnufactur-
:. Ing at once. The company now has the
\ locomotive works at Providence, and
! Worcester, and until we can buy other
Z plants the auto-truck made by the In
ternationni company will be manufac-
j. tured In those cities.
) 1.-THE main points TO be covered In air
motors, or any other power, are the
\ cost OF operation. maintenance and
the plant. The cost In all of these
three divisions is less than with cleo
strlclty. We have so found it.
4 1.-THE operation of the auto-trnck Is
like the operating of cable cars: ~
wheel sends 1t forward and wheel re-.
verses It. Any man with Intelligence
sufficient TO drive team can operate
an auto-truck.'
In contemplating the change that will
take place in New York the Press cites
some very suggestive figures as to the
decline OF the horse rs q motive power.

bicycle there were 100000 horses in New
