Cochran hy a score of 500 to SoS. in
tho thirteenth game OF the tourna-
ment at the Hotel Pennsylvania last
night for the championship of the
world at 1872 ballxline billiards. The
respective averages were 81 AIS and
1856. Both players appeared to be
in good stroke. Nevertheless the game
was, re gged. Both players gave ample
demonstration that they were good
shot makers. While at times they
played boldly there We're occasions
when they were conservative and
INDUCED in what was considered
strategy.
Schaefer scored runs OF 20, $50. 81
and 167 in his first. fourth, thirteenth
md sixteenth innings, a total of All in
those four opportunities and 90 in the
other twelve. Cochran ran 112, As al
and AZ in four innings, a total of 241.
and SO in his other twelve chances.
When Schaefer made only points from
MS sixth to his twelfth inning. inclu-
Siye, Morris d. Brown, national anna
tenrschampion Of 1912. was impelled to
remark. THAT is what professional
hampton can do. Suppose an amateur
you'd do anything like II in competi-
Han. What a roasting he would get
S'Cn one occasion Cochran failed to
get the balls out of balS, on another

~ Chance 10 Tie Hoppe.
rSchaefer is now in a position similar
IT, that he occupied on the night OF No
vember 20 1921, in the tourney at Chi
tago. At that time he had been beaten
by Cont had won all his other games
and had Hoppe. who had not lost
game, to play. Now, having been beaten
w Horemans alone, he has to oppose
Hoppe, who has a clean score In the
present tournament. In order to have
q chance TO attain the pending cham
pionship he must defeat Hoppe. Other
Wise Hoppe will once more be cham
non The best he can do in the tourna-
urent rrorer Is tie Hoppe.
SShould Horemans beat Cont this
afternoon and Schaefer beat Hoppe to-
Hight there will be triple tie between
Horemans, Hoppe and Schaefer. Each
will have a record of four, games won
and one lost. If Hoppe defeats Schaefer
and Horernans conquers Cont the Bel-
Horemans and Hoppe wins tonight
Schaefer, IIoremans and Cont Will be
BIN the event OF a tie. which appears
brobable. the playoff matches will be
decided on the roof garden of the Hotel
Pennsylvana.
Cochran won the bank on a close de-
eision and missed from the lead. the red
ball kissing the cue ball away from the
second object. Schaefer began with

control
AZ a. he shifted to the head end OF
ths-table. His fifty-first count was an
unusual and bold three cushion effect In
which the cue ball played fine off the
red, touched the left and foot rails near
the corner and. taking diagonal course
up the table. caromed on the white In
the upper right balk
At 73 Schaefer got an unfavorable kiss
and short spread. He played with his
left hand and missed.
Cochran failed on single cushion and
left the red ball in the upper right cor
ner, the white i'm the lower right corner
and the cue ball IN the middle of the
table.
Schaefer played on the red. The cue
ball and the red came around together,
kissed In the lower left corner and left
Playing more systematically and max
ing less drives than heretofore In the
tournament. Cochran held the balls In
the lower section for SO and then moved
them TO the upper right corner.
In the head section of the table he
played enthusing billiards until he
reached 112. then the objects separated
and he missed ON an exacting single
cushion effort across the table. In the

from either long rail. while the cue ball
stopped near the middle of the table
Cochran tried "a ricochet shot along the
head rail and came near counting.
Schaefer playing perfect baIknne and
displaying admirable adjustment Of
speed. rolled up $50. During the collec-
tion there were only four long drives
His final shot, a clashing short two
