 Erich Hagenlacher, champion or Germany, won the bank. HesOpeneo his string with a pretty two, cuashlon carom. Holding the worries at the foot of the table he counted by clever use of inc draw shot and english. At 15 he had a shot across the face of the ball that sebarated them. He solved spread by n fine shot on the rail and then retired after F by miss on a short two cushion carom.
 Schaefer had. widely spread leave to face. He attempted a long two cushion gathering shot but failed to connect with the second object ball so that his first contribution was zero. Hagenlacher's second turn at the ta- ble produced a brilliant cluster of 105. It was practically all compiled on the short rail and was remarkable for astonishing masse shots that effected she 53rd. Seth and 89th counts.
 The first was a daring masse kiss 10 solve a line up on the cushion. So cleverly did the German time the flight of the ball that the cue ball caught .As red as it rebounded from the side rail. Each Cf the other masses were played to overcome difficult freezes. . At the end Hagenlacher retired be- -ause of a faulty two-cushion carom he width of the table.
 Schaefer followed with a run of 51 somewhat widely and heavy handed Iy played. It was an interesting con- tribution, however, as it indicated the mastery of the champions execution.
 Schaefer went to the lead in the fourth inning with a massive run of 140. At this stage he led the German by total of 235 to 125. It represented an average of 58 3-4 for half the match.
 In compiling this big run SchaefeF operated almost exclusively at the foot of the table. He rolled the spheres gently along the end rail and along in the eighties held them for brief bit of nursing on the line at the right hand side of the table.
 It was deftn0ss of touch and mas- tery of control with the high shot a wonderful draw to the cushion for the 106th count. On this shot SchaefeI bumped the red out of the way before taking the rail and completing the carom on the white. He had the globes nicely punched when he miscued and had to retire.
 The sixth inning in which the young wizard counted 72 before failing tC solve a lineup with a long kiss car om was remarkAble for the closeness of Schaefers ball-to-b ball billiards. He consistently favored the head ofz the table and at the completion of this run the champion had distanced hi. overseas rival as the total tally stood B09 to 1892
 The billiards sank to mediocrity al the players neared the end of sthei string. Lacking pressure Schaefer mis cued on three occasions when he ap peared to have excellent chances. A for Hagenlacher he became over-stu dious and a bit tedious. Likewise h. fell into the miscueing habit and tWic he failed to get the balls out of balk Hagenlacher also rolled into innufner able freezes that sent him fightin, the spheres instead of assuming con troL
 It resulted in a freeze and iron that on the run was a chapter o catastrophes until he failed on an at tempted kiss which the cue ball bash fully refused to make because of lac Of legs. At the end of this run in tn twelfth inning Schaefer led his riva 432 to 256 despite little show of hi real class.
