Billiardist Returns for Visit After
Year in Paris.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Jake Schaefer
champion billiardist of the world and
holder of the emblem, has arrived in
Chicago from New York looking if
anything, better than when he left
here for Paris about a year ago.
Schaefer returned from France a
week ago and brought with him the
eleven-year-old cue expert, Eduard
Derbier, who Jake says, is much
better player than was Willie Hoppe
at the same age.
The wizard" has the boy under a
three year contract, and as he has run
close to 100 points at eighteen inch
balk he hopes some day to see Der
bier, Hoppe and his own 9-year-old
son fighting it out for the champion
ship Hoppe, who is now in his sew
enteenth year, can average is and
better at the wide balk lines, and he
expects Derbier to play close to that
notch before the expiration of his
contract.
Speaking of his six nights match
with Cure, which he won, Schaefer

said when Arson still played ball, and
Jim Mcfarland helped pile up 1872 runs
in one game. The Midgets found MIN

punched two, and in that way earned
but one of their brace of runs. Curly
Speer. alias Frank MerriWell, Diamond

formed a combine when they did hit his
