BILLIARD CHAMPION RETIRES.
After Years of Competition Schaefer
VIII Give Exhibitions.

There has perhaps never been a com
petitor in any branch throughout the
world who has followed pastime for
thirty-five years and then retires as
champion of the world. Such is the re
markable record of Jake schaefer. the
wizard of billiards. When the veteran
and Willie Hoppe. the boy wonder, met
in Chicago Wednesday night last the
regrettabIe feature OF the contest was
that it signalized Schaefers retirement
from competitive play in game that
he has adorned in the most brilliant fash
ion for thirty-five years.
Win or lose. the old master decided to
quit, and his deft mastery of the ivory
spheres will be displayed hereafter only
in exhibition plays. Happily for Schafer
and his grand record he quit as the Isl
balk line champion Of the world. having
beaten Hoppe in this, the final match. by
800 TO 423
It is no Adelina Patti retirement Of
Jake Schaefer. His age is not against
him. Schaefer declares-ne proved that In
his last match-but the strain of keep
ing in form TO meet opposition is too
great. He has captured all the hOnors
in the world OF billiards at one time or
another in his career, and while he might
continue in match play, the game could
hardly be worth the sacrifice.
Schaefer's skill at the ISL balk lire, one
OF the most difficult games in billiards.
will always have a charm. No matter
where or when he exhibits his cunning
with the cue. he is sure to attract a crowd,
for no matter who his opponent may te.
the Wizard viii always play TO win. The
followers of the sport, who have so fire.
quently been thrilled By his delicate
stroke and marvellous resourcefulness,
know that.
Schaefer talks of returning the cham
pionship emblem to the donors to be COM
peted for in a tournament, but he cannot,
according to the conditions of gift, do so.
It would be a satisfactory way of evolv-
ing his successor, of course. but IL il
likely he will be challenged by George
Sutton, the 1872 champion. and falling 10
defend his title. the trophy will revert 70
the previous holder who happens 10 have
been Sutton
Jake Sehaefer's record is the history of
billiards in America. His first public de-
but was July 3. 1873. at Washington Hall.
Indianapolis, when he beat Parker A.
Byers 800 to lSS. making an average of 4S4
with a high run of SO. II is a peculiar
that he should begin his first
public appearance in a match with a VIC
tory, and nearly thiTty-five years after
close a noteworthy career with a triumph.
Since that memorable night in 1873 the
name of Jake Schsfer has been synony-
nous with all that is just. fair. and honor
able in billiards, and his name will al
ways be magnetic TO the followers of the
sport.

Few boxers in their time have made
such rapid strides to the front as Lewis
and Martin. The former has been even
more active in the arena, though Martin
entered the ring a year earlier. II was in
1903 that Martin knocked out his first op-
ponent, while Lewis in his first mill. in
1904. won a victory through a knockout
OF Mexican Jim. The matching Of Lewis
here is virtually the outcome of their six
round battle recently in Philadelphia.
Though the men put up the fiercest mills
ever witnessed in the Quaker City. the
limit Of six rounds was not long enough
for either man to score clean-cut victory.
Lewis is the only man. barring Joe

knocked out Willie Fitzgerald. and the
