Edward w Gardner has gained a
place in amateur billiards similar to
that held NO long by the late jacob
tWtzard jake Schacfcr In professional
balkline and by Alfredo DE orc In pocket
billiards and three cushions. Youngsters
may come and youngsters may go. but
they keep on forever. That could bc
said of any member of this trio, or
rather of all except poor, lovablc old Jake
Schacfcr, who finally wac called to the
Great Beyond In 1910 after holding sway
Tor more Ina "A decade.
Until the very last months of his life
Schaefer ranked right at the top among
billia rdists. Several times hts right to
the pinnacle was threatened. Frank
Ives, George Slusson. George Sutton,
Calvin Deinarcst and william Hoppe
tumbled the row from his head, yet
after every flooring blow he arose. Pre-
dictiois that this or that newcomer
would eventually outclass him never
am true, and when he died he was Is L
champion of the world.
Practically nothing Is known OF pocket
billiards before Alfredo Do ORC boosted
the chamN onship. His victories from
the early sos on through the '9Os ano
clear up To 1913 caine with almost ma.
chinolike regularity. Since 1906 he also
has been an expert AT three cushions
Vie met occasional defeats at the pocket
game, but never encountered his rea|
master. The reason he quit pocket bill
inrds after losing the title to Benny
Allen of Kansas city Was that his ski
at the three rail game had crow and
this style 81 play had attained 30 much
popularity that he saw IN il a richer field
for him. When Tommy liuestou hea'

The State also failed in its efforts u

bought for them the motorcycle on
which the prosecution contends that
brown and Spellman fled after the
shooting. Under crosS-exanlination by
William III. Lewis counsel for the de-

dealer, said that DIR. Mohr himself had
agreed that he would see that Bryant

Another witness, William +. ilalli-

Brown. accompanied by a taller negro
