Schaefer. champion, by the tally of
200 points to 321. in the ninth game
of the 1872 balkline billiard champion
chip tournament at the Hotel Penn
Eylvania last night. The titleholder
was careless and a bit slouchy about
his billiards at the start. This proved

masse, put together runs of IA and
Ill that smothered the champion, who
went down to defeat for the first time
since he won the title a year ago at
Chicago.

n light line-up masse shot, but Schaef-
er again failed to score and, Horemans
continued, with a lead Of 144 to 6.
Horemans made the most OF
Schaefer's miss and followed his great
run with another of Ill, giving him q
lead at the end of the third inning
OF 255 to 6.
Champ Off Form.
Schaefer was badly off form. He
played open table and cushion caroms
with all the bad breaks of a player
out of luck and stroke. The champion
tailed 20 and 10 respectively in his
fourth and fifth inning,N all Of which
represented hard shooting. At the
close of the fourth Inning Horemans
led by 80 to Schaefer's IS, and seem.
cd to have the titleholder at his mer-
cy.
Encouraged by a fine promising
leave. the first rny of promise he had
experienced. Schaefer put together q
variegated run Of 1877 on his sixth turn
at the table. THIS run was built w
upon a nervy. single cushion draw In
which the cue ball travelled twice
across the table before catching the
second object BAH. At 35 he estab.
lislled nurse. Apparently he die
not care for 1t, for he deliberatel,
went to the.e ends of the table for hi:
tallles. After passing into triple fig
ures he keut his stroke plant by FIRE
qucnt dead ball drives. It was show,
billiards with plenty of action and
clever cueing.
Pace Tells ON Belgian.
Horemans began to show signs o
wavering in the seventh, inning. TIL
pressure of the champions game wa!
telling, but the Belgian, after desper
ate efforts, recovered despite Schaef
er's attempt to wreck his close play
While doing this the champion hat
partially closed up on his' opponent
But the Belgian was not to be deniet
and he closed his victory with a rul
of AZ.
