BEGINNING YOUNG.
Jake Schaefer, Jr., Training for the
Billiard Championship.

There are not many boys who can boast
OF the fact that they are going to school
to learn the game of billiards. This is the
case with Jacob Schaefer. jr.. the twelve
year-old son of the wizard of the worries.
Young Jacob is at the present time at
tending st. Waters College, Joliet Ill. For
four hours each day he studies the lines,
angles and English" that go to make up
the fine points of the game of billiards. In
cidentally he is being tutored in some of
the branches of the English language.
His course in billiards has been mapped
out for him by his father. One of The best
straight-rail billiard players of Chicago has
been hired to conduct this course. Playing
form. technique and touch are looked after
as carefully as if the lad was studying in
one of the best of the modern musical con-
servatories. Once or twice each month
Jacob, ST.. goes to the college and holds
rigid examination of the young mans
progress.
The table and ivory balls with which the
young student plays are of the very best.
The largest manufacturing concern of the
world has provided one of its best billiard
tables for Jacob, jr.'s. especial use. The
balls have been turned out of selected ivory
under the supervision of the senior Schae-
fer The cue used is one with which the
father won the 1871 balk line worlds cham
pionshp.
Under these conditions the young man
has worked for the past six months, and Is
rapidly gaining skill that will soon place
him among the top-notchers. A handicap
tournament was recently held at st. Via
ters College. and young Schaefer was
matched to play the winner. allowing a
double discount. George Sutton acted as
referee OF the match, and Jacob ST., was
on hand to mark up the points.
With the ease and skill of veteran
young Jake shot the balls about the table,
ma king runs of %. AZ and So and winning
the match by an easy margin. Many OF
Chicago's best players who saw the play
declared that 1t will not be longer than two
years until the young man can win the
national amateur title and then enter the
ranks of the great professionals with his
father.
When asked recently, by a friend. why
he spent so much time on the young mans
billiard education. Jacob, ST., said:
I'VE want the worlds championship title
in the Schaefer family In 1912 as we'll as In
1907.

Bryant, like the pitcher that goes to the
well too often, went blindly to his fate.
Big Medicine won by a block. and after the
race the horse and Bryant were ruled off
for the two contradictory races, and it was
over a year before Bryant was reinstated.
met Bryant last at Louisville shortly
before his death. 1t was some ten years
after Proctor Knott had won the Futurity,
and some forfeits were still due Bryant. l
asked him how much was unpaid yet, and
he answered, We'll, there is some $4,000
still due me in forfeits from the Futurity.
and the worst of 1t is nearly all of 1t is
owed by Kentucky colonels.'' Forfehs
in those days were not as closely collected
as they are now.

test, vet all he ever. remembered about
the affair was what occurred after the
eighth inning. Every one knows how ia
nous player Ewing afterward turned out
to be- and no one could accuse him of be-
ing nervous in the many years that fol-
lowed his debut into the ranks of the pro-
fessionals
Griffith Made Great Hit.
Clarke Griffith broke into professional
base. bali In 1858 s4debut was made at
Milwaukee, He was little black-haired
tyke, seventeen years of age, and with a
pair OF keen. piercing eyes.
The players on both the Milwaukee team
and the club that "Grif". was to pitch
against laughed at the idea of such q
Eyoungster as Clarke having the audacity
to try to break into such fast company,
and they had quite a merry time at his ex-
pense before the game.
Crit was given cast-off uniform that
had originally been worn by giant, and,
as Clarke admits, after he got into that
uniform and wrapped-i 1t about his dimnu-
tive form one could see nothing Of him
but his feet and his head. The opposing
team made very merry with the little
pitcher. telling him that they were going
to send him back to the bushes, and so on.
At first Clarke says he was SO nervous
that he thought he would have to funk at
push began to kid him his fright gave way
to anger. and the old fighting spirit re-
turned to the little fellow The more they
toked him the angrier he got so when
he took his place on the firing line his
head was COOL but in his heart there burn
ed deep feeling of vengeance. What he
did to that fresh lot of ball players has
long been a matter of base ball history. for
Clarke with that deceptive, slow BALL of his
won the game by the score of 10 to 1.
Lajoie Was in Dream
No one would ever suppose that the
doughty Napoleon Lajoie was ever pos
sessed of fnicky nerves. yet when Larry
made his professional appearance in base
ball he was about as frightened a person
as one could expect to find, particularly
in big husky ball tosser. Lajoie got into
the game at Fall River. Mass, in 1896, and.
strange to say, he felt not the slightest
sign of nervousness until the bell rang
for the players to take the field. On walk
Larry was suddenly taken with the peculiar
feeling which caused him to experience
the sensation of imagining that he had no
stomach; he also felt as If he was being
waited along on thin air, as he felt not
the motion of walking. In dreamy sort
of way he knew that there was crowd
of people somewhere, as every little while
he would hear cheering, which seemed to
come, though, from a far-away distance.
knocked down to him touched his hands
Larry awoke suddenly from his dreamy
state, and the crowd and the cheering all
became realities. The clever Frenchman
by his wonderful work that day earned
the almost continuous plaudits of the spec
tators, and so paved the way to become an
emblazoned page in base ball history.

splendid courage and daring. used to tell
with a great deal of relish how his nerve
deserted him when he was first given q
chance by the Cincinnati club.
Ewing at this time was employed by one
OF the large Cincinnati breweries. and in his
leisure hours used to play on amateur
teams about the city. His work as an
amateur had SO many distinctive earmarks
of that Of an expert that the attention OF
the manager of the Cincinnati team was
called to young Ewing, with the result that
Buck was told to show up at the Cincinnati
bali park on certain afternoon to be given
Q tryout.
/ The night before this auspicious day Buck
rolled and tossed until the welcome sunlight
cast its rays into his bed room. AS the
day advanced he became more nervous,
| and when the time arrived for him to
| report at the park. he was almost In a
| state of collapse; yet he somehow man
aged to pull himself together sufficiently to
start for the ball grounds
The nearer he got to the park the weaker
| his nerve grew, and he felt something like
Mark Twain when he was on his way to
| the scenes Of the ST. Louis riots. Several
| times along the route to the park Buck
| says he came very near turning about
and running back home, but he conquered
| this cowardly feeling. and at last arrived
1t the grounds. But here his nerve gave
away entirely, and instead Of presenting
himself to the manager he skunk away to
| the preachers. WHcIe ne Hiu hiHiseiI, anu
| though he heard his name called several
| times he never made a response, but re-
manned In hiding throughout the game, and
| then made his weary way homeward, a
| thoroughly dispirited young ball player.
But the next day Buck got his nerve up
/ to the sticking point, and went out to the
park with determination to do the Spar
! tan youth act. Hhe admits that he was
| shaking like an aspen when he took his
place behind the plate. and prepared to re-
/ ceive what the pitcher was going to send
| up. This was the last thing Ewing remem-
/ bered about the game until he found him
| self scurryfng down to second In the eighth
1 inning after having cleared the bases with
| smashing two-bagger into right field. To
| the shouting of the vast crowd is what
| Buck attributes his sudden awakening from
hts trance. The players all told him that
! he had done fine work throughout the con-
