Improving the Game.
The fact that very few first class BIZ
liardists have ever been developed Is
one Of the strange features Of the
game. Viguaux, Schaefer and Slosson
have been champions more than thirty
years, the only others developed dur
ing all this time being Ives, Hoppe and
Sutton. a most remarkable showing, not
to be paralleled in any other branch Of
sport.
or all the experts Schaefer deserves
most credit for the development Of the
game to its present high standard He
always has been anxious and willing
TO aid In the development Of young
sters, and Ives. Hoppe, Morningstar
and Sutton all were his pupils. The
balk line nurse the feature OF play re-
sponsible for all high runs, however, Is
the invention Of Sutton, and when as a
shortstop he first sprung II he Occa-
stoned great surprise.
Schaefer is the father OF all the rules
under which billiards are played. At
various times he has surmOunted by
his inventive genius the many barriers
imposed on experts to decrease their
speed and necessitated the making OF
new restrictions, for the other experts
could all take advantage OF the new
discoveries as soon as they came to
know them. and almost unendlng runs
were the result
In a championship contest between
Jake and Ives the latter sat down with
II to go, and Schaefer came to bat
with JG6 to 80. The largest run ever
made up 10 that time had been 2SS,
and the Wizard seemed to have but
little show to win. His great inventive
genius came to the rescue. however.
the anchor nurse was discovered, and
Schaefer ran the game out. This was
the only time the anchor nurse was
allowed In a match game. for Ives aft
er It was discovered could play it as
well as Schaefer. and as it made the
game too easy it was Immediately
barred.
Incidental to the above game, Frank
White, a well known Chicago sport,
won a most remarkable bet from Leo
Mayer, the well known bOOkmaker. As
Schaefer walked up to the table in the
final inning White turned around to
Mayer, who was making books on the
contest, and said, What are the odds
now, LeoT' "One hundred to l." said
Mayer. I'll bet you So" said White.
Done" said Leo. And when the game
was over Leo had to settle with the
wise Mr.. White, who. billiard player
