Schaefer Again
Billiard Champ
In Defeat HOremans

Chicago, Jan. 6-(AP)-Young
Jake Schaefer, twice former cham
pion, today regained the worlds til
tie at 1872 balkline billiards of the
United States, when he defeated
Edouard Horemans, Belgian title
holder, $500 to $50 after three 500
point blocks of play. The score for
the final 500 point block today was:
Schaefer 500: Horemans 31S.
Horeman's swan song was a beau
tiful run of 231. He missed when he
lined the balls close together in the
center of the table. He refused to
use a masse, the shot which helped
to make him famous, and drove to
the side rail. On the rebound his
cue ball touched only the one ball.
Schaefer then reclaimed the
championship with a run of SO, max.
ing the final score 1900 to 500.

Georges Carpenter, the French pugi-

the interest of the passengers on the

apparently scored heavily in public

the Jugos1av minister's mission to
arrange a settlement of the Jugo-
