After picturesque speech by DIR.
y. J. Cattel. of PHILADELPHIA, Alfres
Cutler, the referee, was introduced ana
ne in turn introduced the evenings
players. There was app ause for every
body and. .slots Of people to bestow it,
for the place was filled.
Hagenlacher, slim and graceful, lean
and dark of visage, won the bank and
counted crisply on the first one, n g
play was wide and methodical for a
run Of II, without the style and speed
of Schaefer's cuing, but he had the
fore light to leave a long hard one,
cushion shot, for young Jake and start
him away with zero.
Hagenlacher made two masses In

His masses were good, and on his

lie massed to the red, it kissed the
white to the opposite corner, and the
cue ball curled around and caught it's
white brother in that corner. His
| ninetieth shot was the e-and-back
masse from a freeze. He ran lO5
which gave him an imposing lead
122 to o.
Schaefer Takes Lead
Speaking Of shot making, Schaefer
showed some. Beginning his second
inning he had hard shot, and for q
time the balls scattered like wind
blown leaves. He had to clout them,
and he made two cross-table, cushion
first shots which made the hair curl.
The supp wrist Of famous sire, the
characteristic sideways stance and the
delicate touch, were all in evidence in
run of 81.
Schaefer found a set-up to start his
third inning, and for little wh lie en-
tertained with the first close nursing
of the night. A noisy kiss on long
table drive put him in bad with the
balls, but he counted from afar, re-
gained position, and at the foot of tn
table proceeded with caroms featured
by an exquisite touch. He dropped
first one with precision. and the tick
ing was of the c'ear-cut but modulated
kind that only ivory and master can
cooperate to make. He caught and
passed Hagenlacher in the fourth in
ming.
The son of "The Wizard" ran 14o in
that inning and played with the aplom
and confidence beftting a champion.
He kept the. three balls well together,
the cue ball nearly always nearby, and
he had the shaspest of eyes for the
@delicate edges. One of the few times
he drove the long table he whacked
the red from the rear via bank shot
and it raced all the way to the foWt
Of the table and back. He got fine
results on one and two cushion sh is
and nursed the object balls TO inti-
mate groupings. A miscue terminated
.he long reign, and the score was 235
to l25 in Schaefer's favor.
Jake Enters Fourth Hundred
The German master miscued in his
sixth inning and had gone since his
second inning at g falteriug rate.
Jake in turn was soon In nursing mood
and sprayed small area of the up
er expanse with an abundance of bali
to-ball caroms. He weaved his close
grouped patterns until drive caught
the wrong rail at the other end of the
table and went dead as the weil-known
mackerel.
Execution solved that difficulty and
the run resumed it's former brisk ball
to-ball counting, but ct the other end
of the table. AS Jake swung full speed
