Denver, Colo March Sake Schae-
fer, wizard OF the cue" died here yes
terday after a lingering illness. His
fight against tuberculosis has been
gallant one and several times during
the past few weeks he has been given
up only to rally again. His wife,
daughter and brother Charles OF Chi
cago were at his bedside when he died.
His body will be taken to Chicago
for burial. Schaefer came here nearly
two years ago in the hopes of making
a stand against the disease, but has
been slowly falling ever since. 1t was
his hope that he would be able to re-
enter the billiard game. which he had
ornamented for a score of years and
more. but his hope never was realized.
