Success With Cue.
by THOMAS ). GALLAGHER.


"schaefer very strons. Every time at
night TERRIBLE remarked Edouard Hore-
mans yesterday afternoon at Maurice
Daly's as he completed $500 points OF
the 4,S00 point 1872 balkline match OF
which he and Schaefer had been con-
tending for four days and half Rore-
mans might have added that Schaefer
u not q matinee success and Is hot
terrible" in afternoon sessions
Although on Wednesday and Thurs
day nights Schaefer had made respec-
tive averages of Sc All and 95 ST.. he
reached an opposite extreme yesterday
afternoon. when he made only l2S
points In ten innings, an average OF
~ 8-1o.
Pursuing the even tenor OF his game.
the Belgian scored 400 points in eleven
innings. Without having scored cen
tury run he averaged So Ali. Never
theless, his performance. punctuated by
numerous astonishing masse effects. was
pleasing. even brilliant. When play be-
gan In the afternoon the totals were:
Horemans. 1900: Schaefer. 5000. AT
the conclusion of the session the figures
were: Horemans. $500: Schaefer.
3.188, the latter being 412 in arrears.
eCA&GACE -
At the night session Schaefer sustained
the opinion Horemans had expressed
about him. He was again terrible.
He scored runs OF 21S and 224. At the
end of the seventh inning he had
total OF 543. an average of II Al Small
scores, including three successive blanks,
in the next Ave innings. brought his
average down to 4S 2-12. He played so
well In his big runs that one spectator
remarked: THE only reason he misses
Is because he is human" His score for
the evening was 578 to 400 for Hore-
mans.
Horemans was not In good stroke
Moreover, In the closing innings he ap-
peared to be unnerved. Alternately, he
played q short drive too weakly and a
longer drive too forcefuNy. Finally.
endeavoring to obtain good position
with which to begin this afternoon. he
managed badly.
In the nfth inning Horemans made
a beautiful run of 1876. and stopped
when he tried with his right hand to
make a delicate stroke. He essayed
precise play and did not get results. as
Schaefer did with freer and more
solid stroke.
Schaefer's Poor Play.
Neither Sciaefer nor his manager.
David Palm, can explain why he does
not do better In afternoon play. Palm
said: "He gets up every morning at
nine o'clock and takes q walk to Gen.
trail Park, where he strolls for a while
before returning for lunch, and seems
to be in perfect condition when no
comes to the hail.
Maurice Daly's opinion was: THAT
boy was tired by the great rally he
made Thursday night, and didn't seem
to know It He drives too much. In
stead of simplifying his method and
making his game as easy as possible
he makes II considerable OF labor
That Shepard Barclay, Horemans's s
manager. should try to improve the
Beisian's exemplary habits must seem
odd. II Is, however, fact that Barclay
insists that Horemans shall take an hour
more rest than ne has been doing.
than he was a few weeks ago. He
explains: II have played much-too
much"
1t has been Horemans' daily custom to
arise at seven o'clock every morning
and go to mass. II Barclays wishes
are respected the Belgian will rest until
eight o'clock and then go to mass.
