NEW YORK, Dec 10.-Jacob Schaefer,
of Chicago, and George E. Slosson, of
this city, met in the deciding game of
the international eighteen-Anch balk-line
billiard championship tournament at Mad
ison Square Garden concert hall tonighs.
and the Chicago man won by score OF
400 to 355. The hall was uncomfortably
crowded with one of the most represent
alive gatherings of billiard lovers ever
seen in this city. Schaefer began very
poorly, missing some easy shots until
the sixth inning, when he scored g. In
his eighth inning Slosson made 90, which
placed him slightly ahead Of his oppo-
nent. Schaefer led at the end of the
tenth inning by 16 points, but 4 consecU-
tive cipherS in his score altered this Or
der and Slosson, beginning an improved
game, kept the lead until he turned his
second hundred. In his thirtieth inning
Schaefer got the balls into the middle Of
the table and treated the audience to a
very pretty run Of billiards. His nufS
ing was excellent and it looked as if ne
would overtake and pass Slosson in this
run, but he failed on a bank shot, from
which he did not get either ball out. His
score was then 1873 to Slosson's 2l0. Slos-
son made 40 in his forty-second inning
by fine all around play. He avoided the
center of the table and did not seem to
care to adopt the nursing tactics of the
Chicago man. At the end of the forty
fifth inning the score TODD 800 to 26l in
favor of SIosson. Then for the second
time during the evening Schaefer electel,
fed the spectators by the prettlest ana
longest run of the tournament. Tn1s was
in his half OF the forty-sixth inning and
the figures were IS.

minutes later with successive runs OF 81, -
