Demarest and SlossOn Vanquish
Schaefer and Cline in the
Afternoon Matches.

Calvin Demarest. OF Chicago. and
George F. Slosson. OF New York. came
through as victors in the afternoon games
OF the 14l balkline billiard tournament
for the championship Of the world at the
Hotel Astor yesterday.
Demarest defeated Schaefer by a score
OF 400 points TO 54j. and Slosson van
pushed Harry p. Cline, OF Philadelphia.
by a score OF 200 points TO S6,
In spite of the closeness OF the scores
the games were long drawn out and
tedious in character. with few occasions
for the gallery 10 enthuse. although I'm
compiling the high run OF the afternoon
when he gathered a cluster OF ST points,
Demarest gave a flash OF his real form.
In his match with schaefer Demarest
scored many misses in the first half Of
the match. with the result that his youth
full opponent held lead Of 20 points In
the twenty-second inning and looked
likely winner.
Demarest seemed 10 realize then tina.
he must adopt sterner measures II he was
TO defeat the youngster, and In his next
turn at the table he proceeded to nurse
the worries carefully along the rail and
at one end of the table.
His playing in and out OF balk was
treat TO watch at this period. and he APP
peared at last TO have gagged the cush-
ions and balls correctly. From that point
he continued 10 overhaul his rival and
passed him in the thirty-second inning
when he ran A.
Young Schaefers cue grew as lead In
his hands after that, and In the next
twelve innings he gathered total OF
only So points. True. Demarest. who mas
learned his lesson in many hard-fought
tournaments, began A systematic cam
paign of safety play and never gave the
Younger player an opportunity Of regain
ing his lost ground.
He completed mis- string with an un-
finished run of IN his forty-hfth inning.
The game between Slosson and Cline
was even more tedious After gaining
comfortable lead in the first stages OF
the match, slossons playing fell down
badly and Cline began TO creep up Oh
him, finally gaining the lead i'm the thirty
fifth inning. when he ran 81 points ~
delicate nursing OF the worries.
