SCHAEFER NEAR

arch will end tonight unless he
overcomes lead OF 42S points in
the third block of the 1900 cham
pionship match with Jake Schaefer.
In the second block last night
Schaefer swamped the Belgian who
had taken his crown away from
him recently, and at the end OF
the evenings play the score stood
1000 to 572.
Schaefer played remarkable bill
lizards. His average for two blocks
is 80 1911 billiards per inning. 1t
has taken him just eleven innings
to reach his present total. Last
night he averaged 125 billiards an
inning. To cap it all, he turned
in high run Of 30.
But Horemans, though tagging
far behind with but one more block
to go, has played a good game
in spots. His run of 243 in Mon
days game is still the high one for
the series.

Lynn Woodwork sent his green
basketball team in against the
HyattsviIle High School quint n
the Business gym, and. strangely
enough. the Stenogs emerged from
the battle with a 30-to-16 victory.
This Hyattsville team is far from
being a set.up. Give those boys a
long, wide floor and they will show
any OF the scholastic teams some
action. A little curly.haired fellow
named Lefty Cohen showed q
great deal of basketball sense and
his own personal endeavors gave
HyattsviIle its main weapon.
Business does not look like the

bled several weeks ago. But that

great year, although Waiter john

There is no reason for. believing
