Norwich bulletin., 1922-11-18

Jake Schaefer won the bank for lead in the night game. He missed the open ing shot and Edouard Horemans, the Belgian, likewise put zero as the top contribution to his string. Then Schaefer got the orbs on, the short rail in his second inning. He made six and then f1ubbed a short direct carom, trying an extended reach over. the table. Horemans followed with some pretty cue workp His 18th shot was a long masse four feet in length. Next he play ed trick drive and kiss that was per fectly tiraed which mad the crowd laugh As he went along to a nurse he made fre- ! quent use of his famous masse. At B i he had the globes directly in the mid dle of the table. His touch and speed was without flaw and he easily went along pas the fifty mark.
 Brilliant masses and dainty, prettily conceived kiss shots were freely sprinkl- ed through the rim along with bits of line nursing as he neared the hundredth itally. At 100 he had line nurse, the i balls being so perfectly punched that they might have been spanned by the hand. There was nothing hurried about Hore- mans as he moved into the second hun dred points. He studied position care fully. At 135 he brought off a spiral masse that was jewel: Three shots ! later he licked off a bank that was a rarely clever exposition of English. I It was masse on a tight lineup on | the end rail that finally sent him away from the table on his miss at IA. At the end of the inning, the second, Hore- mans led IA to 6 and Schaefer came to the table, missed short single cushion, which resulted in the Belgian going right ! on.

It was of the same character ds it's predecessor w4-.. .-..,o--s lin abundant profusion before he faile1 on a two cushion carom in one of the
 corners At the end of the third inning Horemans led tc9 champion by 255 to 6. ! Schaefer was badly off form. He play ed open table and cushion caroms with all the bad breaks of a player out of l luck and stroke The champion tallied i 29 and 19 respective in his fourth and : fifth innings all of which represented hard shooting. At the close of the fourth f inning, Horemans led by BIO to Schaef- CTS 35 and seemed to have the title hold CT at his mercy. 1 Encouraged by a fine and promising | leave the first-ray of promise he had ex- perienced, Schaefer put together vari- | egated run of l67 on his sixth tltl at 1 the table. This run was built upon nervy single cushion draw in which the cue bali travelled twice across the table before catching the second object ball. i At 30 he established nurse. Apparently he did not care for it for, he deliberately went to the ends of the table for his tallies. After passing into triple figures he kept his stroke pliant by frequent dead ball drives. It was showy billiards with plenty of action and clever cueing. ! At the end he missed a little nip shot of single cushion character at the foot of the table.
 l Horemans began to snow signs of 1 wavering in the seventh inning The !, pressure of the champions game was telling he collected 37 in a somewhat resultory manner. The last count was
 an easy right-handed direct carom. But Horemans who never uses his right hand If he can help it tried to dicover left handed strike to count.
 Under compulsion he shot right-handed ! the second right handler in three matches, counted and got sewed up with result ], ant miss for his pains. So wide did he leave the pheres that neither Schaefer
 nor the Belgian could count during the
 next two innings.

 champion might make a garrison finish
 despite being behind~at 277 to 4S9 Tor Horemans.
 There was exchanges of safety to-
 ward the end of the match which brought
 about real evidences of . tegy and 4 cool, daring execution. Horemans after ] desperate efforts recovered despite gi Schaefer's attempts to wreck his close
 play.
 While doing this the champion had partially closed up on his opponent. But
 the Belgian was not to be denied and he
 closed his victory with a run of AT. most
 of which were scored by pretty work on
 the cushions.
