400 to 265. Schaefer made a high run
OF 116 and an average of 20. while SUIT
ton put up fine run of 1856 and an
average of IS $50. In response to SUIT
toms 1856, which put him in lead for the
first time during the game, Schaefer
rolled up ZIG, which seemed to dis

Hoppe was in his normal playing
form when he stepped to the table for
his game with YamadG. The Japanese
was playing a double header, which is
necessary owing TO the heavy schedule
of games. The champion did nothing
of moment In his first two innings. but
in the third he got the balls rolling to
suit him and soon was clicking off the
point in his own peculiar style.
Hoppe nursed the worries on the line
with consummate delicacy, employed
the masse to extricate himself from
difficult positions and at times made
long drives in order to bring the worries
to the desired spot.
But even a champion at times en-
counters shots that BATTLE him, and that

attempt. The balls had lined up on
the rail at the head of the table and
his only recourse was kiss shot, The
shot went awry and Hoppe sat down.
Hoppe got the worries rolling again in
his fifth session and collected fifty-one
buttons before he fell down on a foot and
half draw on the rail at the foot of the
table.
Jap Is Outdistanced.
Yamada, while making frequent brill
Rant shots, failed to hold the balls to-
gether for long runs, and while he scored
in each inning he could not keep within
hailing distance of the champion. One
of the best shots made by the Japanese
was his fiftieth effort in the second in
ming The balls in balk were lined on
the long rail and he had but one chance
TO count and that by bank. He played
across the table. counted and got the
balls out of balk.
Hoppe got the balls in docile mood In
the sixth and collected az before he
missed a short draw.
After a run of II in the seventh the
champion prepared to make his final
effort in the eighth frame. He probably
never played better balk line, and as he
counted his 115th carom he was the
recipient Of hearty applause.
Morningstar Is Beaten.
The sensational performances of the
afternoon was the defeat of Morning
star by Cochran. The youngster gave the
veteran the same dose of defeat he had
received from the champion. Cochran
played with the dash he had shown in
previous contests which was ascribed
largely to the fact that Hoppe was not
his opponent.
The youngster began scoring at the
outset and counted with a regularity that
was surprising in view Of tine fact that
his operations were for the most part
open work True, in his long runs, he
kept the worries at one end OF the table,
but with one or two exceptions he failed
TO do any close work.
In the early part OF his run of los in
the third inning, Cochran collected the
balls on the line and seemed to be about

nursing methods. But they soon scat

Cochran Shows Skill.

minded one of the elder Schaefer's ex-
ecution when the worries were refractory.
Schaefer was wont to hit them hard and
test the cushions. Cochran was using
more force than the cushions warranted
and yet he rolled up points in a bewilder-
ing manner.
Cochran wound up the game with an
unfinished run OF II. and seemed TO be

that Ora fooled. while Cochran counted
