 The Detailed Play
 New York, Nov. 20-Welker Coch- | ran won the bank for lead in the night 1 game and missed by inches. Then 1 Jake Schaefer, the champion, put to- gether run of 73 on hl; first turn at the table. He collected the worries at the head of the table on five gath ering shots. This was followed rapid ly by some remarkable brilliant and close manipulation during which his stroke was free, elastic and pllant.
 Schaefer held the orbs in subjection so that they did not roll out toward the center Of the table until the 35th carom Moving by dainty stages along the line he nurSed until at A he made a drive, his first, but it was only the width of the table, At 46 the globes scattered, the young wizard employ ing some astonishing draw shots and single cushions before he assembled them on the rail at the foot, at 50. It was then that the champion set off a sky rocket in the way of three cushion carom followed by a dead ball drive which was the foundation of an- other brief bit of nursing.
 For style and colorful caroms Schae- fer displayed his inimitable class as he moved forward in the run. He kept the object balls ever before him and there was no undue motion. He final ly missed on a difficult left-handed draw.
 Both hung up goose eggs on their second trip to the table. Schaefer try ing a racing follow that the red ball nudged off at the end to miss by scanty margin.
 Cochran work ed out a finely conceived run of 112 on his third turn at the table. It was a beautiful example of end rail meth cd.
 Cochran freely using the masse, nicely adjusted english to the cush- 1 ions and an occa sional delicate kiss | that demonstrated that he was on his game.
 As he neared triple figures Cochran was compelled to bring booming l drive into action for the 49 count. Lat | CT 11O when the worries began to 1 display a restivenelss under the re- 1 straint of his cue Cochran pulled them together. with up and down the ta-
 ble shot using plenty of reverse en- 1 glish on the cue ball.
 | But the orbs were rebellious, draw
 shot the width of the table finally
 missing. He backed this run with four
 so that he led Schaefer by 116 to "A | as the latter came to the green ex- | pance for his half of the fourth inning.
 In this section Schaefer put together run of 150 that sent him to the lead l by PA to 116, the wizard missing an l open angle in his effort to land too | thinly on the side of the second ob- ject ball All through this great run Schaefer held the balls closely bunch
 ed. His draw shots and free use of
 the masse were exceptionally clever and brilliant.
 There was an abundance of safety
 indulged in during the next few in- nings. Cochran had the better of this
 exchange. Even so he had his troubles
 once, when he had the worries nicely
 punched, he failed to get them out of l balk and another time missed the first object ball completely because of at tempting to brush by too thinly to maintain position. Schaefer had had difficulty with the bad and baffling
 leaves. In seven innings he counted on- ly three, having five goose eggs for as
 many innings. Still at the end of the twelfth inning Schaefer led 246 to 186 | Schaeferts wiZardry returned with
 his half of the 18th inning. It produc-
 ed a run of 81 that for delicate close
 nursing and delft ball to ball billiards
 surpassed any previous effoUt of the
 match. The end of the table was the
 chief field of Schaefer's operations and his secure bridging materially help-
 ed in amassing the cluster which stop ped because of a faulty draw. The ! champion was again far in the lead
 his total being BPS to 203 for Cochran By some pretty and close balkline
 during which he experienced hard anG ) discouraging luck, Cochran moved al. ' ong past the three hundred mark Hi.
 runs of IT, Al, Hand AZ came to un, timely ends because of faulty execu. tion of his draw shots and once by { misscue. He was closing the gap fol } Schaefer rolling into some lineup: 5 counted in paltry figures only leadins by S33 to 303 when Cochran completed } his portion of his string.
 Schaefer came to the table for hi half of this inning and soon had tn,
 worries bewitched. So cldse was hi
 play that he moved along for nor,
