Those familiar with the brilliant
career Of tho elder Schaefer recognize
In the twenty-six-year-old son a chip
of the old block, possessed Of ever
greater skill and, best of all, a
spirit which never knows defeat. In
to-night's encoupter after registering
four zeros and with the former cham
pion out in front he came back with
a. rush and chalked up smashing
run of 213, tie high cluster of the
nights play.
The biggest crowd that ever wit
messed a match jammed Orchestra
Hall to suffocation. Hundreds were
turned away. The closeness of the
previous two nights play-Schaefer,
1000: Hoppe, 952-acting as a magnet
for the final block of 500 points.
Hoppe Shows Gameness.
Hoppes display of gameness tonight.
as on the previous night. was little short
Of marvellous. At one stage of the game
last night he was 272 points in the rear
and his case looked absolutely hopeless.
Then he staged another comeback. just
as he did on the opening night, and with
two splendid runs placed himself within
striking distance.
The champion must defend his title
within thirty days against Wellxer Coch-
ran. The match will in all probability
be played in Chicago.
Schaefer was in play when to-nights $
block started. He had run out his 1000
points with an unfinished run of fifty
eight the night previous. The balls lay
in perfect position at the head of the
table. just outside the right hand an
choir.
Schaefer was more deliberate and
exact in his execution when he started
off and his drives showed that ne was
in splendid fettle. He nursed them
along the rail with rare skill, and in
attempting a two cushion carom LOST
control of them at the 5lst point ana
finally missed a two cushion position
shot at 50. The balls were left badly
for Hoppe. but he managed 20 count
but was unable to get them under con-
troll, and after running six missed a
one cushion rail shot. Jake came back
with the balls in perfect position ana
settled down for a brilliant run OF
lo7. missing nip draw by an inch.
Horne missed an easy spread draw
after marking up 8. The former cham
pion was evidently suffering from ms
old ailment. a twitching arm. and his
tardiness in strolSing brought storms OF
disapprcval from the fans.
Schaefer ran. two and fell down on a
difficult three cushion shot. Hoppe had
n poor leave and managed only to
garner a single. ! He missed his next, a
spread draw. The champion then fol-
lowed with 20. losing control trr!ng Tor
position shot.
Hoppe in his half OF the fifth began
counting fast and at 81 was frozen 10
the white ball and counted by miracle.
At SO the balls lined UP again at the
foot of the table and Hoppe played
cushion first instead of a masse. The
former champion got rousing cheer Cor
the shot. This spread the balls and he
missed a single carom after running 52.
schacfer Gets Ivories Together.
Schaefer followed with a run OF twenty.
Then Willie stuck in another good sized
run. gathering sixy-nine before he
missed a three cushion shot for position.
Schaefer had to shoot in the air, the
balls being 9. mile apart. He ran three.
The balls were scattered when Willie
came up and he missed a difficult two
cushion attempt. leaving the balls In
good position for Jake. who ran twenty
eight before missing.
Hoppe came right back with eighty
three. He had everything. His drives
were beautiful to witness. His nursing
was letter perfect and his masses un-
canny. lie missed a one cushion shot that
failed to reach the second object ball.
Jake came up and ran four. Hoppe
missed an easy spread draw after reg
istering one. Jake failed to count ana
thon Hoppe gave a beautiful exhibition
OF nursing, running Ill before he missed
a three cushion shot. He ran the sphe-
roids all over the table. his open play
bringing down the house. This run was
BY far the stellar performance OF the
entire three nights of the match.
Upward OF $4,000 changed HANDS

When Schacfer defeated him last NO

cued when he was within striking dis

the same shot that Hoppe miscued on
